I'll pick this up too.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Is it possible to get some examples of how this would increase the range and power of some Lorath weapons?

 

[Doshii Jun]

Also: we've been trying to reduce weapon projectile speeds to subluminal velocities. This does the opposite of that. Even if it's a component that can attach to other things, I can't ignore what it does to weapons, or engines for that matter.

 

[Doshii Jun]

The relevant rules regarding the problems are found here.

It basically brings newer plasma weapons in line with the range and velocity of this thing: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?...pressed-packet-weapon:compressed_packet_rifle

Think I should add somewhere that if you fire it like this in an atmosphere, the secondary effects aren't worth it (disrupted atmosphere, won't reach velocity, etc)?: Its mainly for interorbital/intersystem/deep space combat.

 

[Doshii Jun]

I see that, Leigh.

However, you're taking it beyond what the rules allow. Projectile speeds as well as engines.

Unless you lower those velocities, I have to reject it.

 

[OsakanOne]

All it means is people will retrofit their units with older equipment.
