DUST Search - The laser rilfe should act more like the focus rifle.

Laser's don't need to heat a target to cause damage. Some types do, some don't.

For example a pulse laser vaporizes a small piece of the target to plasma, causing damage from the resulting shock wave.
Industrial cutting lasers heat to melt through.
Electro-lasers make a conductive path in air, then send a very large electric current through this conductive path. Scramblers use this principle

All three of these exist in real life, the pulse laser shows most promise for weapons, but it will be a lot more r&d before anybody has a laser rifle in real life.

The way the laser rifle behaves could be explained by what is known from current energy weapons research.
The focusing system is meant for long range and won't make a tight focus up close, reducing close range damage. As laser energy goes up, air becomes less transparent, so weapon energy lasers would have a maximum range. Molten salt batteries put out more power when at high temp, but can overheat if left on to long, perhaps the laser rifle uses a capacitor based on molten salt? Battery and capacitor use similar material and construction, so new eden may have this type of capacitor.

I'm saying it should deal damage over time, and not just chop huge pieces of HP off of someone if you whip it at them like a super long light sapre CCP, please just look at this gun, it is probably the only thing that I can currently find that relates closely to the laser rifle. sustained fire is what the gun needs to do in order to kill something. Not just whip someone and kill them instantly. Linky

I'm honestly getting sick of these forums now. the focus rifle is laser rile too... sort of. A laser NEEDS To stay on a target in order to burn through it. A laser cannot burn through something instantly if it was left on the target for less then half a second. sustained fire is key. Not light saber slashing

The laser needs to heat up near to the point of overheat and can easily kill its user before it becomes the grim reapers scythe. It is fully balanced, it does its job. Making the damage only increase as long as its on the target? Are you a fool? Please use this weapon before posting kk thx.

It's a backwards thinking weapon, just like the accuracy for the HMG.

No, and ccp has stated when the first OP threads came up, "Working as intended"

High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System is a real life pulse laser, meant to shoot artillery and mortar shells in flight. Not much time to stay on one spot with a rotating mortar shell. It uses salt batteries by coincidence.
