Assault PPC

[Izzy193]

the Assault PPC is a concept of taking the heavy PPC, increase the weight, heat and crits and making it deal the same damage as an AC20 at PPC ranges.


Assault Particle Projector Cannon:
Tonnage: 14
Heat: 20
Damage: 20
Crits: 6
ranges(In hexes): 3/6/12/18

Can it take a PPC capacitor?:Yes
will it explode if the capacitor is fully charged and hit?:Yes

I might see it also sporting a penalty to PSR's the round you shot, much like the heavy gause does.

that's actually a good and fair idea, a PSR every second shot you fire or similar akin to the heavy gauss rifle is not only fair for the damage output but also a genius idea.

Instead of PSR, why not a turn that your sensors are overloaded - if you have probe it can compensate, but if so it can't do its job for a while....

15 tons seems high, since you can get there for 11 tons with a Heavy and Capacitor...

had to make it heavier than the HPPC + cap for the reason it's damage output is that of a thunderbolt 20 or AC/20 with PPC range. Plus I was told it's just a RISC Hyper laser that doesn't explode, weighs twice as much, shorter range and less heat. with a capacitor it's a shorter ranged Hyper Laser that can explode if the PPC Cap is hit when charged. otherwise it won't explode. I was only trying to follow the weight pattern that was set up by the PPC Family for IS.

Would hate to see the heat build up on a ER Assault PPC

Weight pattern?  You mean 3/7/10 for Light/Normal/Heavy?  That would lead me to 14 tons vice 15.

[Izzy193]

there we go reduced the weight by one ton so it's more inline with the pattern for IS PPCs.

Extended Range Assault Particle Projector Cannon:
Tonnage: 14
Heat: 30(35 with capacitor)
Damage: 20
Crits: 6
ranges(In hexes): 0/7/14/23

Can it take a PPC capacitor?:Yes
will it explode if the capacitor is fully charged and hit?:Yes

Looks good to me! :)
