Wait...if it does no damage, what does it do, exactly (other than just go through things, obviously)?

i think its like a concrail but im not sure

Based on the stats it doesn't do anything apart from separate a fool from his money. TGFT will be buying these things like they're candy...

This is a joke, right?

But I like it anyway!

"Ha ha! I'm shooting you with uber fast gunz!" *someone shoots the noob, he dies*

Well, it's still under development. They haven't worked out all of the kinks yet...

That being said, I'd love to see this implemented. Preferably on April 1st

Actually, the velocity should be just a little bit less. I'm not sure exactly how much put perhaps minus 1 m/s considering that I don't know if decimal places are valid in velocity stats in VO.

Edited OP.

hey impavid, im sure youll be purchasing many of them too. what else does one do with 9 billion stolen credits?

fills up a swimming pool with it and jumps in naked?

Are you kidding?! Do you know how many prostitutes you can buy with 9 billion credits?! And real ones too! Not those chi-pe ass dirty ones!

What's the highest velocity ever achieved by a player in VO?

Probably the same thing that TGFT would do with 9 billion bug-exploited credits.

But this is the suggestions forum. +1 to the OP

I suggest making it actually do 1 damage, though. Honestly I think it would be more hilarious that way.

Since neutrinos does not interact with matter, they can't cause damage... no mass and no charge particle...

But on the bright side, it can be used similar to a invisible laser dot aim... really invisible...

And due to quantum fluctuations induced by neutrino beam, it could be used against missiles and avalons, if precisely aimed at its targeting/flight control computer... in random way...

Anyway, every april 1st give it for free on all stations. Remaing of year, keep price tag.

1 damage, with a delay of .001s yields 1k damage per full second, which is not too much. But still noticeable.

There is another problem with such a short delay, it might put unusually high strain on the server. I suggest making the delay .01s, which is still plenty fast, but not stupidly so.

If one were to take the stats serious, that is. Because this is a beam weapon, for all intents and purposes.

Alloh: Go back to Brazil, and take your Neolithic concept of physics with you.

Tosh: I agree on the delay. I actually read it as .01 the first time through, heh. That would make it cause 100 damage per second, which is very low. However, we're neglecting the energy drain. At 550/blast, it drains an entire heavy cell with a single shot, which would make it impossible to shoot more than once every couple of seconds.

I would probably buy one of these just to make people's HUD flash red from 6km away. And to demonstrate that beam weapons are not somehow inherently unbalanced.

Ummm, Alloh, the joke sort of is that neutrinos don't do anything. I was just making fun of all the "Positron Blaster" "Neutron Blaster" "Tachyon Blaster" things by making an actually accurate gun.

But yeah... WTB Neutrino Blaster.

We have similar designs going at Carebear Laboratories. Apparently when we shine the hearts and rainbows off our furry chests, we can evoke "emotions" in fellow pilots. We want this to be available to the player base. For the uninitiated:

Valent Care Accelerator

Large Port
Cannot be above 4/-/-/-/-
Price Range: free
Distributed anywhere you can find children laughing.
Mass: Whatever the pilot thinks is just and fair
Damage: 1 second of questioning one's life choices
Energy: 25/blast
Velocity: The speed at which one appreciates the warmth of the sun on their skin, or the rustling of a grass in a field
Delay: 1.5 s
Targeting: Unnecessary, it will eventually find its target, thats what is important.
Grid: 5

At ShankTank's earlier question, I've reached ~9,800 m/s in my superlight when I hit a few hundred conc mines.
