Boost plasma pistol

(1/3) > >>

Crazy:
Ok, today, while pexing my energy, I noticed a weird thing: I was dealing 2 times more damage with the magneto laser than with the plasma pistol!
After a short WTF, I've checked their damage:
Plasma Pistol: dmg 15-35    range 20
Magneto laser: dmg 20-35   range 35 (+penetrate perk)



So yes, armor have usually lower resistance to plasma than laser... But still, I do far more damage with a far better range with magneto laser, especially in crit.
Since the laser boost, it's better than plasma.
Its kinda sad, it make plasma pistol a bit useless, while I was really loving this gun.
So I suggest a boost to his damage to make it  more interesting. Maybe 25-40, something like that, would be good. Because hit centaurs for 24 with a magneto laser and 6 with a plasma pistol... Proove that we need a change.

borse:
yea, always thought plasma weapons were far superior to laser :S

Slaver Snipe:
Yea, the damage for a laser pistol is quite high considering how cheap it is and the plasma is almost 10x's the price for a little better damage to higher armored units. Does the plasma pistol have any perk?

Not that I know. But yeah the plasma pistol could use a huge boost Really. Its the most expensive pistol out there and it really should be worth its price.

This is where you're going wrong. Centaurs are more vulnerable to laser than most things.

vs Armours we have this table for Plasma Pistol/Magnet:

None   1.2
LJ   1.3
LA   1.3
LA2   1.3
CLJ   1.288636364
M   3.6
M2   4.2
Tesla   2.1
CA   1.4
CA2   1.6
BCA   1.3

Plasma Pistol is fine.

Prices are pretty random at the moment, they will be rebalanced in the next economy upgrade.
