Ray Gun Blaster?
Quote:
I have been asking for years for a Ray Gun Blaster. I have even suggested powersets. HOWEVER, how about an optional gun, animations, and sounds for the Assault Gun powerset? The same damage/results on powers but with a Laser type gun(s), optional beam or circular effect (like the mental powers), sounds, and effect of the blasts? That would suit the Sci-Fi types out there would would like a Buck Rodgers or Flash Gordon type of hero or give a high tech look for others.

You have my vote!
Wouldn't it make a little more sense to make this alternate animations for Energy Blast instead? I mean, otherwise you'd have your raygun's energy blasts doing Lethal damage, which doesn't make a ton of sense...
Using Assault Rifle would save the Devs ten of work since they'd have to completely redo the anchor points for the Energy Blast sets while they can use Assault Rifle set and keep the anchor points and just change the animation and sounds.
I don't know, it seems a little too limited to me. I mean, what if you're not facing someone with a ray gun? You'd have nothing to blast then.
OK, that aside, the only issue I can think of right offhand with this is that of the *sounds.* We know they can change the gun model, after all. And that "ray guns" (pulse rifle, etc.) are already in game, thanks to 'bot MMs. But I don't know if there's any technical issue with having multiple possible sounds and/or tying them to a specific alternate model (well, the same's true with the 'ray blast" coming from the gun.) That's about the only issue I could think of right offhand.
Wouldn't argue with seeing it. And if it's doable to that extent, who knows what else could open up.

Been wanting energy weapons forever myself. Its fun because if you read the technology origin description; it says something along the lines of "your powers come from energy weapons" somewhere after the part about power armor in that description.

The only energy weapons I can think of ingame are what a robotics mastermind has and that doesn't really count. But your idea should be one of the many things that they could do using the new power customization. I mean we already have alternate super strength and martial arts animations.
