03-AALIYAH- Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I noticed that general discussion recieves much more attention than other sections.... so here I go.............. Currently in the game... energy/laser based weapons (in my opinion... not talking for anyone else) feel too similar to normal weapons.. What do I mean and what do I have in mind ? I'll use the SUPRA as an example ( here is the supra for those who dont know what it is http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Supra )The Supra uses rifle ammo... What if the Supra used a different type of ammo ? lets call this ammo type a "Battery" for now. This battery when fully charged will start at 100% charge. Depending on the energy weapon being used, each shot will consume a set ammount of the battery's charge. The Supra would consume 1% of its charge for every 5 shots. But Seperta, that would mean that you could just hold the trigger down and shoot a total of 500 bullets without having to reload at all ! I know this, which is why I also though about an "artificial" reload for those trigger happy people out there by using a new mechanic that uses temperature... Using 20% of the charge continuously (100 shots) will cause the weapon to "overheat", there by forcing you to stop shooting completly until the gun cools down enough for it to be used once more. as an example for overheating... i guess a real life video of overheating would be perfect... Wouldn't that be the same as leaving the guns as they currently are ? Here is the thing, by using the weapon in bursts, you would keep the weapon on a temperature low enough that would allow you to use the entire battery without overheating, which would give energy weapons like the supra and the dera an advantage over "hitscan" weapons as the Braton... energy weapon shots have a travel time... but wont need to reload... while a weapon like the braton or soma have the advantage of instant damage but will need to reload sooner or later... What would happen to an energy weapon like the Synapse or flux rifle that has instant damage while also being an energy weapon ? The Synapse and flux rifle both share something in common, their fire rate can not be increased, which means that their damage output will suffer when compared to other weapons that CAN be increased with mods like "Speed trigger". They also don't have unlimited range, so they would be exceptions on the hit scan VS energy weapon travel time difference... What if i run out of battery charge ? (battery charge reaches 0%) I also thought about this. batteries would drop like normal ammo does! With the downside of the batteries being rare, more so than sniper ammo boxesI apologize for any grammar mistakes that I might have made as english is not my main language (atleast my english is about average if not better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_Mask Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I like the idea of batteries and overheating of energy weapons, makes much morse sense, but what about the lanka? Sniper or battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper or battery? The lanka is hybrid... sinse its description sells it as a rail cannon... i guess i would say battery... but consuming a much bigger charge per shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatScratch Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I agree that weapons in warframe need more diversity. This could be a step in right direction, it is certainly an interesting mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03-AALIYAH- Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 well.... a moderator moved this to weapon feedback... my original post was here aswell... soo now there are two posts about it... Did not mean for this to happen... everyone hates double posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon_Mask Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Possible energy weapon mod: static charge - battery recharges at rate of X as warframe moves????? Also, as the synapse is working off bioenergy i dont think a batterybmechanic should apply to that. And just to covercall our basis of being obvious, laser edged melee should not be affected. Just thought id get in before someone asked haha. Sorry OP but i just like this idea! Edited October 6, 2013 by Demon_Mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry OP but i just like this idea! you have a point on synapse technically not being an energy weapon as it is an infected weapon... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godila2 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 are we are talking about (me3 mp) geth spitfire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03-AALIYAH- Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 are we are talking about (me3 mp) geth spitfire? technically speaking if we want to bring games with this mechanic we can go all the way to an oldie called halo combat evolved. .. even sooner dating back to the first playstation's original "armored core"...

03-AALIYAH- Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 that last post got me all nostalgic .... Halo.... ended up changing my name... used to be called Seperta... have to edit part of the post for it to make sense again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
