So my idea is that, what if the Lasers have a trend of exponential heat with respect to the alpha count. Now i know that's basic ghost-heat, but what if instead of integrating it to penalize the user, lets calibrate it to "reward" chain firing and partitioning lasers instead?
To put that into perspective, currently 6 C-ERML + 2 C-LPL does a whopping 57.8 heat alpha. But with the system, the combination of those would still result at a total of 57.8 heat. But individually, like the C-ERML originally doing only 6.3 heat a piece, would instead do only 2.50 heat. Like ghost-heat, having 2 C-ERML would result 5.00 heat, but with this system it would be something like 5.25 heat instead. The penalty would be negligible, but would stack with additional lasers, but just enough to do the old heat value we are comfortable with.
Basically, the ghost heat affects the lasers when fired 2+, while reducing the base heat of lasers when fired individually. And when shot at their original ghost heat limit, it would still amount to the same heat as they do before.
For example:
But, that's just an example. The actual trend would still follow the trend of the original ghost-heat penalties, and so possibly the individual heat could be a lot higher than the example. But that just explains the thought of the idea. It only "rewards" the alphas below the safe GH limit, but otherwise at the limit and above it remains the same.
Think of it as a Negative Ghost Heat system, where the GH system imposes exponential increase of heat above the limit, this system imposes exponential decrease in heat below the limit.
What do you think of that system?
