Belmakor Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I felt that there was something wrong with lasers. They just feel a little wimpy and I couldn't put my foot on it - but I felt like it was a step down from ballistics. Then I realised that it is the lumbering projectile speed that seems to drag across the screen slower than the speed of sound let alone the speed of light. So putting the projectile speed in weapons_gc to 1400 solves that problem (and you can still see the path of the projectile no problem as its red). Enjoy much improved laser weapon satisfaction This is my case for this being default laser projectile speed in vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assoonasitis Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sweet. I'll add that to my mod. Also thinking of jacking the laser precision way up and increasing range but reducing power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmakor Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Its weird but when you increase projectile speed it feels like accuracy improves. Is it my imagination? If its not then sounds like a bug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assoonasitis Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Scientifically speaking it should increase accuracy. Physics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmakor Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Well yes! But I didn't realise the physics engine in the game was as sophisticated as that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've found laser rifles to be pretty damn accurate. Precision lasers though, ehh. They're powerful, but I seem to miss a damn lot. Probably because it isn't hypervelocity unlike the others so cover and various obstacles are a bigger problem for it. Carbines are pretty nice, would be nicer without the short range bug, but they've got good range and you can really lay down some fire with them.
