'Thor' Beam [Weapon]

Name: ‘Thor’ Beam

Type: Primary Wepaon for frigates

Ranks: 8-15

Damage: 6,200 EM

Beam diameter: 10m

Maximum rage: 5,950m

Charge accumulation: 5 charges

Charge time: 5 seconds

Full overheating/cooling: 10/5 seconds

Barrel rotation speed: 60deg/s

Tooltip: Ancient alien defence turret technology was salvaged and adapted to this frighteningly powerful weapon. It is very slow firing and overheats quickly, but will make whoever ends up under the crosshairs wish they were on your side. Heavy Electromagnetic beam using alien technology. Effective at medium-long ranges.

Hmm, Thor’s Beam should throw only Hammers with Lightings. When Legends become true.

WTF.

That’s terrible idea. 

Thor’s beam should be on the Mjollnir, not on a frigate.

Joking.

 

I don’t really get it.  What is charge time and charge accumulation? 

Is it a gauss with a RoF of 12? 

It has no base RoF because each shot needs a 5 second charging period, but it has a max period of two shots before overheating. So either you get outrageously low average RoF or you just shoot quickly and overheat every other shot. Charge time is the time between clicking and firing. Charge accumulation is the “flat crit” increase on the weapon’s damage much like Positron or Gauss.

Reasonable. Added this to the list of “nice names for future stuff”
