I think they would be a neat addition to the game.

I see them working like this...

1. Your first click starts the charging of them and your second click releases the blast.(Or just hold down fire button to charge, either way works)
2. Charging for too long causes a heat buildup and failure to fire.

-Benefits of charging them is increased range/damage at the cost of more heat.

-Maybe give them a charging bar like in golf games with a sweet spot for maximum damage.
(Sweet spot could be supercharged! extra 1 damage or something or faster velocity)


It could be an upgrade similar to how DHS/endo/FF are in the mech lab.

Damage is from 5-15 depending on charge?
Heat is 10 - 20? 25 if overcharged

EDIT: I am thinking more along the lines of the mech assault version, this WILL NOT be good for poptarting because there is a small window of time for optimum damage(and it fluctuates if below was added!)
<-- like this without the lock-on xD

I would suggest semi-random charge times so people can't just make macros for it(or charge time based on current heat buildup).

i voted yes. So long as it comes during the right timeline.

[Eddrick]

I would like PPC Capacitors in this form or the TT version. Have to wait though.

Not sure how people would like PPC Sniping being more threatening.

[IceSerpent]

The poll options should be:

- Yes, I want jump-snipers to be more effective than they are now
- No, I am not a window-licker
- Not sure/Just lurking

They need to use the effects from MechAssault charging then .

Hell, the MA PPC firing sound effect would be great too...

Just for the sake of discussion, I would want the capacitor upgrade to slow down the RoF for the weapon it's attached to when using boosted damage. yes, you now have an 8 ton 4 crit clan ERPPC equivalent, but it only fires every 4-5 seconds. http://www.sarna.net...i/PPC_Capacitor

neat, bump for more discussion

seems like people can't get poptarts off their mind so they are voting no and not responding 'just because'

also I understand the timeline thing, this is a discussion about the future though! 3060 is just around the corner!
