Lasers should have unlimited ammo. Just like small blaster turrets *which should have ammo but i digress*
Now the damage build up should be a new bar on the UI. While firing the gun this NEW bar should fill up. The higher it gets the more damage the laser will be doing and the bigger the laser effect should get, just make it look like it's charged up.
Now people have a reason to let to cooldown reset the gun. It's like reloading, it takes the place of ammo. If you keep firing while at high heat the laser will get no time to heat up and deal more damage. The laser should require time to build up and deal more damage.
Funny the connection I make is secret of mana. You could spam the button but you;d deal less damage. But if you hold it down it starts to get more powerful. I hope the laser rifle is similar. No ammo, ammar weapons don't use ammo. I thought the laser did damage over time on contact to target, not on heat buildup. If its the case of heat buildup then it is broken and needs to be fixed. If something is overheating the effectiveness would degrade not increase.....That's why when you overload weapons in EVE, the heat damage can destroy your weapon....
It's a laser, it does thermal damage so the heat buildup=increased damage makes sense, of course overheat it too much and it strips your shields. |

I'm sober if that's what you're wondering. But I seriously have no idea how that happened especially since I only hit the button once |

Current use is to burn any rock and then point it at the target, while you think the laser is too hot. See, the added DPS is not added to how long ya keep the beam on your target. It's how hot you make the gun before you hit the target..
And now I get laser hated by the guy who wants the Damage Modules to work for lasers..
drunk flying is fun but expensive , but seriously the only tweak the LR needs is an increased overheat |

ON Lasers : The current way damage works is better than the build up on target. its a weapon that is spooling up and when the components in it reach peak efficiency it does more damage. Makes sence to me.
