I was thinking this is a pulse rifle/laser of some kind.. I got another deisgn for the human plasma rifle.*



and htat got me thinkign about the difference between a laser and pulse laser. Current lasers act like pulse lasers insted of regular ones. Why not have both?

Now regular lasers wouldn't have burts fire, no multipple shots - but longer lasting shot. Aslo, sicne they effectivey fire a continous beam, you're basicly swinging around a super-long lightsaber. There's no way in hell you're gonna miss during the entire duration of the beam (unless it's blocked by something), but you will have trouble keeping it on the target. In other words, daamage would be VERY variable depending on exposure time, but it would practicly always do at least some damage.
So for a continous beam, the accuracy would determine the damage done (allways with a little bit of randomness), and have a far lesser influence on the hit itself.

A pulse laser is pretty much like the current laser rifle. Only I'm nto sure if it woul even have a single pulse mode.


*But TM, why a human variant of the weapon?
Because alien weapons are not mean for human use. The grip and ergonomics, balance, etc.. all of it would make the weapon uncomfortable to use. We're talking accuracy/TU penalty for a non-alien using alien weapons.
A human variant would be somewhat less powerfull, but would have none of the ergonomics issues.

I thought the pulse rifle is a projectile based energy gun like the one in the UT series. It also doesnt look like a beam laser rifle to me.

I'm talking how it would work in a realistic fashion....think Lasgun from Dawn of War. More like multilaser actually.

And here is is..99% done. Just 1-2 minor tweaks left. Will export and upload all files nad provide a link later.


EDIT: The tank mesh will be done tomorrow...texturing/mapping..my take a while.

I have a comissioned starship I have to finish first for Starpoint Gemini 2 (I do some honorary work for the company).

Same as with all my work before.

EDIT: It jsut occured to me I didn't export the power cell as separate...oh well. It can be easily rectified.

I hope we will have those integrated in-game soon.

Added the power cell model, a .dds normal map, a greyscale map (for a bump map) and a glowmap...and a txt files with entreis for the weapon and research files.


EDIT:
My game is crashing when I try to play, but as of yet I cannot determine the cause.

Looks cool Trashman, thanks. We'll try to find some way to fit it in to the research tree and add it to skirmish in the meantime.
