HE Capacitors

[smokey]

Utility: HE (high efficiency) Capacitors

Reduces the energy required to fire weapons by 10%

 

For example:

Tacnuke would take 630 nrg to fire instead of 700

Multi Beam Array would take 18 nrg to fire instead of 20

 

 

What do you guys think?

[Sharpflame]

It needs some kind of penalty

[zephoid]

i dont think its that good overall. the difference would be so small it would be hard to tell. why not make it 15% and -1 recharge if u want a disadvantage.

[smokey]

the penalty is it uses up a utility slot.

 

if thats not enough, make it increase the firing delay of weapons by 10%

 

that would make tacnuke's delay go up to 385 from 350.

[Sharpflame]

That would probably make it do nearly nothing...

 

 

By penalty, I meant -1 speed, or thrust... not "Takes up a utility slot", Everything does that...

[Boldot]

Would be an interesting idea, makes weapons slower but cheaper. I actually remember talking to someone about this same idea before...

[Masaru]

10% less energy requirements for weapons would be nice if it takes a 15% or so firing rate hit, Alien Tech spot, or something...

[Dr Brain]

It's an interesting idea, for sure. We're not set up to do multiplications on properties at the moment, but it wouldn't be hard to, for examlpe, remove 75 energy from bombs.

[got bounty?]

great alien tech, but if you're going to make it take up an alien tech spot and expensive..probably up the percent of energy redued to 20-40%.

 

i'd like to see them..especially good for duelers who dont want AD, or fields.

[BlueWyvern]

personally it'd be a bad dueling utility, I'd prefer a rate of fire increase and an energy increase.

+10% rate of fire

+20% energy cost

+10% rate of fire

+20% energy cost

 

If we have one, there's no reason not to have both.

Yay for customizability, perhaps they should be in smaller amounts and stackable too! ^-^

I love the flexibility of ASSS
