This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
The HPAR is a rapid-fire anti-tank mine, explicitly too heavy to be used by someone unarmored, in the exact same role that this weapon is intended for.

It seems to be a pretty good example of where this kind of weapon should be.
 
Yes, but the HPAR is also a rapid-fire weapon. This is not a rapid-fire weapon. The HPAR fires exactly 10.5 times faster than the Zeus. It is, in fact, not a good example. Please compare shotguns to shotguns, and rifles to rifles, since a rifle makes a bad comparison due to the higher fire rate. Additionally, the role of this is a "close-midrange combat shotgun or breaching tool for power armors." Not an anti-armor rifle, which is the HPAR.

I also don't see any mention of an anti-tank mine in the HPAR submission. It's understandable confusion -- the bullets are incredible for punching through metal -- but they aren't anti-tank explosives.
 
Ok @Zack and @META_mahn lets leave the damage ruling to wes to decide, none of us are perfect here and we seem to be going in circles, the damage is an easy thing to mess around with Im more interested in this lightning effect as its being based in principals which don't really work, ergo, I've been trying to help find an alternate solution.

Meta, to "get the line out there" as you said have it lightly attached to the slug perhaps or fired from the barrel at the same time so it goes in the same direction at the same time. As for the lightning effect persay, you could use a hardier version of a light bulp fuse(?) which puts out light when heat and energy pass through it and just say it glows blue and crackles a bit. I'm sure there is ways of doing it since i have an Ion propulsion system that has a golden afterglow.
 
Everywhere that I put angels 😇 on this article is where you need text or prose.
 
As an FM of the Iriomakuanhe, I don't feel comfortable with an article that says they emulate their weaponry unless there is substantial evidence to validate that Elysia has access to their weaponry.

Aetheric Detonation Slug <----needs an article
Scattershot <---- needs an article

The only RP that states the ECN's activity is this: "...the Amyna Fleet has finally received permission from the Senate to continue its mission - repairing the derelict Elysian starships in the Scrapyard system." The wiki says the Amyna Fleet has been absorbed, still. @META_mahn or @FrostJaeger please fix that in the several instances it's come up. Pinging @Wes to make sure he's aware the Amyna Fleet that was once absorbed with the Tenth Fleet is now active in the ECN, again.

For the slug:
Stats
TEXT/PROSE
Plasma Detonation Slug

This will tell you how to format DRv3
 
"Thou shalt not refer to other articles" and so forth,

Putting aside the Elysia VS USO for a minute here, @META_mahn hows the lightning effect science coming on?

@FrostJaeger id like to point out that those ammunition articles are not linked properly on the weapon page at the moment, hence why it would have been brought up, on to of the fact that the page you linked is listed as plasma detonation. If this is because the ammos have a combined article then its simply of a case of editing the ammo table in the gun page to reflect this so let's not go pulling out internet lawyer hats and screaming objection when someone calls a square a rectangle.

Additionally in the interest of not taking sides, the C8 is currently pending and has by no means been finished in its approval yet however I believe in one point frost made which is to be consistent in reviews as much as possible.

Aaanyway let's just focus on the actual submission we need to flesh out the science unless that has been done already and the ammo articles need wiggling or creating

I wanted it to be a little bit reflective of the new Elysian ideological push of "learn from our neighbors." While it's not strictly based off of Iromakuanhe and Nepleslian weaponry, it emulates how Elysians perceive their styles. For instance, the brutal, explosive punches of the shells are what Elysians see when they look at Nepleslian warfare, hulking combat armors and ships slugging it out with the enemy, each hit making a mean dent in the enemy's hull. I also understand that electricity is a big component of Iromakuanhe weaponry, and as a result they decided to emulate that.

It's not so much a "We deconstruct your weapons," more of a "We took a page from your book and asked ourselves what we can do with it."
 
Edited Iromakuane out because it would be too deep of a faction rabbit hole to jump down with all the "but how did the Elysians watch the Iroma do whatever"

Changed manufacturer to the Empire itself.

I used the SiZi ammunition article as a template, which compressed all ammunitions onto one page.
 
I'll check with Wes today when I can.

And it was moved back. I moved all of Frost's abandoned submissions and this got caught up in it. I moved it back immediately though. I got your back, I promise.
