Laser Technology
Components
Lasers have four components, each with their own tech line. Some of the components are shared with other energy weapons, while some are laser specific. The components are Laser Focal Size, Laser Wavelength, Capacitor Recharge Rate, Reduced Size Lasers. Please note that the maximum range of any laser system is 1.5m km. This is because the smallest time increment is 5 seconds and light has to obey the laws.
Laser Focal Size
Laser Focal Size ranges from 10cm to 80cm. Larger sized beams cause more damage and have a longer base recharge time. Focal size has a bearing on the maximum range of the overall laser system.
Focal Size | Damage | Base RoF |
---|---|---|
10cm | 3 | 15s |
12cm | 4 | 20s |
15cm | 6 | 30s |
20cm | 10 | 50s |
25cm | 16 | 80s |
30cm | 24 | 120s |
35cm | 32 | 160s |
40cm | 40 | 200s |
50cm | 64 | 320s |
60cm | 96 | 480s |
70cm | 128 | 640s |
80cm | 168 | 840s |
Laser Wavelength
The wavelength of the laser determines the range modifier and the maximum range of the laser.
Wavelength | Base Max Range | Range Modifier |
---|---|---|
Infrared Laser | 30,000km | 1 |
Visible Light Laser | 60,000km | 2 |
Near Ultraviolet Laser | 90,000km | 3 |
Ultraviolet Laser | 120,000km | 4 |
Far Ultraviolet Laser | 150,000km | 5 |
Soft X-Ray Laser | 180,000km | 6 |
X-Ray Laser | 210,000km | 7 |
Far X-Ray Laser | 240,000km | 8 |
Extreme X-Ray Laser | 270,000km | 9 |
Near Gamma Ray Laser | 300,000km | 10 |
Gamma Ray Laser | 330,000km | 11 |
Far Gamma Ray Laser | 360,000km | 12 |
Capacitor Recharge Rate
This particular component is shared between all of the energy-based weapons. I will only detail it in this section, and refer back to it from others.
Capacitor recharge rate directly influences the amount of power recharges by the weapon system every 5 seconds. It is equal to the Rate, e.g. Capacitor Recharge Rate 25 = 25 power per 5 seconds.
The available rates are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25.
Reduced Size Lasers
This particular component reduces the size of the laser system at the expense of the recharge rate. There are three levels available. Standard has no change to size or rate. Reduced .75 reduces the size by 25% while increasing the recharge by 4x. Reduced .5 reduces the size by 50% and increases the recharge rate by 20x.
