Title: The Intek Laser Rifle Plus (Intek+)
Post by: Daryk on 01 September 2018, 13:35:17

Similar to my Auto-Rifle Plus thread, I'm giving that treatment to my favorite laser rifle, the Intek.  The Extended Capacity modification (from the A Time of War Companion, page 161) for energy weapons reduces power consumption by 25% and rounds DOWN.  This means the Intek+ is down to a single Power Point per Shot.  Overall stats become:
Intek+
Equipment Rating: D/X-E-E/D
Armor Piercing/Base Damage: 4E/3
Range: 80/275/550/1,200 meters
Shots: 1 PPS
Cost/Reload: 4,000/Per Power Pack
Affiliation: FW
Mass/Reload: 6.5kg/Per Power Pack
Notes: Ships with a Solar Recharger that fits in the stock, along with two Micro-Power Packs (1 High Capacity, 1 Quick Charge).  The weapon weighs 5kg with the recharger removed.
TW Damage: 0.21 (3/6/9 range)

Tacking on a compact 3-shot grenade launcher yields the Intek++:
Intek++
Equipment Rating: D/X-E-E/D
Armor Piercing/Base Damage: 4E/3 or by ordnance type
Range: 80/275/550/1,200 meters

Affiliation: FW

Notes: The compact grenade launcher has integral Recoil Compensation (0 recoil).  Ships with a Solar Recharger that fits in the stock, along with two Micro-Power Packs (1 High Capacity, 1 Quick Charge).  The weapon weighs 8.5kg with the recharger removed.
TW Damage: 0.70 (3/6/9 range)

Thank you both!  And coming back to this thread enabled me to spot a typo (which I have now fixed).

Can't find your Auto-Rifle thread in search. Can you link it?
