After discovering the Heavy Aether Pistol I discovered that among its accessories was a sound and flash suppressor, listed separately. After a brief chat about it on discord @Ametheliana stated that since it was approved by both Wes and the NTSE it was legit. Naturally I was stoked to see the first suppressable aether weapon on the site but without much of an explanation on how one would suppress an aether weapon at all I got to thinking.
Well that was dangerous! @Immortal Cyan, if your out there, I have an idea on how one might do just such a thing!
My theory is that by partially phasing the bolt it would carry the properties of not existing but since it is not fully phased it should still remain subject to collision with solid matter. Naturally modern shields would catch phased weapons fire anyway so it won’t be able to bypass shields. It’s kinda not breaking from the site rules since it’s only partially phased but in saying that it’s also partially tech that’s forbidden. Since I’m just wanting to preserve the wiki page from any retcon, now or later, I figured this could be a cool way to explain the ‘how’ of the FIRST EVER SUPPRESSED AETHER WEAPON!
@Wes is this something you would permit?
