Plasma effect

[The Judge]

What about a effect module somewhat like Plasma Torpedoes from halo?
Kinda like explosive effect, but with a smaller radius and blocks around the impact would "melt" over time.
Of course there would have to be a cap on how much of the target can be Melted.

For one, this is honestly pretty useless, due to nuclear torpedos being just as good, as well as doing more sheild damage and doing everything instantly.

you could make so it burns a small hole through ships shield and once it burns through the shields the hole last for a few seconds.

A string of ever smaller missiles arrayed in a line could have the desired effect, creating a more deeply penetrating but not so wide 'cone' of damage, rather than a big ol crater.

 

[Crimson-Artist]

so an acid/poison effect?

 

[The Judge]

Possibly doing more damage than the current Missiles of starmade, and having a larger radius over time.

 

[Comr4de]

An acid/damage over time effect is something I've wanted ingame for a while.

How about a damage over time effect module? It'd deal less damage on impact, and less damage overall, but it'd continue damaging the target preventing shields from recharging.

Isn't the mine-layer secondary meant to add delay or fuse?

That'd be DaT (Damage after Time) and not DoT(Damage over Time)

 

[NeonSturm]

That'd be DaT (Damage after Time) and not DoT(Damage over Time)

5 damage AFTER 5 seconds
5 damage AFTER 10 seconds
5 damage AFTER 15 seconds

Just make your own acid with that :p

Ok, but there needs to be some sort of passive effect to deactivate plasma. Maybe passive plasma effect messes with the plasma field and disables it.
