CELESTA AUNGM Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 377	Posted - 2014.12.21 06:25:00 - [1] - Quote Nice thread, Ein. Kudos to you for starting this. I am NOT an Amar fan (Gallente all the way), but I do admire their technology for being the most unique (lasers and "scramblers", whatever science a scrambler actually uses...). Amarr's attitude is "center of the universe", so I don't think they saw themselves as ever having to create a gun-type and grende-type that "matches" or responds to another race's technology. Slaves didn't get a chance to create counter-tech against them, and Gallente/Caldari were too busy clocking each other over the centuries. So I like the way Amarr address "defensive tech" by just being the ones who can generate the highest EHP in their suits. I like the way Amarr use "Light" to slice victims, and .44 Magnum-style rounds to stop a moose with a single shot. I'd like it if their "explosives" ('grenades' look like Cald/Gall designs, so maybe Amarr never took a "grenade" approach), were based more on something that turns "on" for a TIME INTERVAL, causing any dropsuit's HP to "burn gradually down", and continues to have that effect on anyone who steps in range until the explosive's "energy" expires. Picture an Amarr merc tossing this capsule into the room---it "activates" instead of exploding, and every dropsuit within 5m range starts losing EHP at the rate of 60HP per second. The victims have to hurry out of range, and they have to STAY out of the range, because the capsule continues to "burn" for about 8 seconds. And it doesn't know friend from enemy. I personally wouldn't like to see Amarr (or any other race than the Minmatar) look to introduce dumb-brute weapons like Hammer (Forge) guns and Gatling (HMG) guns. The ruthlessness of those chunky guns seems to have come from late-arrival desperation technology. The same way, given time and weapons mastery, the Gallente's idea of "heavier" guns results in Cannons (so far, just the plasma cannon), I'd like to see Amarr and the other two races create energy cannons instead of rapid-RoF slugs to kill crowds with. Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne... No story can have life without writers and publishers.
