yes, that's why the weapon also needs a delay of upwards of 5 seconds. and a range of 100m. as well as no autoaim. it's extreemly deadly at close range, but gives no magin for error, and an skilled oponent should be able to keep out of range.
how about a mine that attracts hive bots bots. hive bots of all kinds will be compelled to come toward the mine and would attack any none hive-bot that came within 500m of it. this could be usefull for clearing sectors, or leveling. but would also just be cool.

no infnite velocities are almost never intresting, if they put a little 'charging' animation (think mini-deathstar) then it'd work fine, also, make it do 1000dmg to the user :D
LordQ: No interesting fighting happens outside of 200m, and the most interesting fighting happens within 100. Beyond that is just spray and pray. No beam weps.
Although, BG's charging Idea would be kinda cool, it takes 2 seconds to warm up, at which point an opponent could get the hell out of there.

with all these new powerful weps there also comes recharge rates reload time etc.etc there have to be delays on useage, to not make them to imba...
I want some rocks, a few pieces of paper, and a pair or two of scissors...
what about EMP disabling mines that don't show on radar? sleepers
been suggested by me in this thread, and, mentioned in other threads mellowvision.
well a possible interesting change to beam weapons and charging could be: there's no time limit between charged shots, but a beam weapon won't do any damage if it's not charged for at least a half a second, and won't do significant damage unless it's charged for much longer.
So you could have an impressive beam machine gun, but it would do absolutely no damage.

Shapenaji,
if you realy think that you're just a lost cause. a weapon that discourages your enemy to close within 100m will only encourage more skill (you'll have to learn to aim, instead of just relying on close proxcimity to score a hit)
zamzx zik,

last time I played this game the situation was:
if you get hit outside 150m, you can't dodge. honestly. a good pilot is pretty much unhittable by *anything* except spray and pray beyond 150m. well, unless maybe you're in a moth. try hitting a good pilot like Shape in a loaded Ragnarok even, at 150m he'll roll and dodge and be almost impossible to hit. if people belive that a good aim will hit him, feel free. put on your rails and show your stuff. if 400m/s doesn't do it, you can try to use energy and lead him into your shot. I dare you. :-p

Lord Q, I'm not an idiot, and my aim is actually good.
I just dodge well enough to know that hitting someone outside of 150 m has nothing to do with aim.
Human reaction speed is around .2 seconds, at 150 m, even with n3's, I have time to see your shot fired, and avoid it.
When you actually become a competent PvP pilot, maybe then you can suggest some ideas Lord Q.

Okay. So then a 'beam' weapon that would fire at say 300m/sec. It'd be less energy efficient than a rail gun, but wouldn't take ammo to fire. In this case, it'd be more like a 'stream' weapon. Haha! *ahem* Yes, so this gun would have *no* autoaim whatsoever, and would be very thin. Weighing 1500 kg, I'm thinking the small port version at 1000 damage/sec at 100 energy/sec would be fair. I guess it'd just fire 100 shots every second that dealt 10 damage each at 1 energy per shot, and looked kind of like a stream of 1as0rn3ss because they'd be so close together, and each 3m in length. What it'd come out to is a rapid fire railgun that didn't use ammo, and was a little slower, not as powerful, but more manageable.
Edit: This does a good job to illustrate sort of what I have in mind.

Life Force!
Itani psychic powers that can redirect fired missiles like the force in StarWars. Make it available after extensive training through a mission string.
