Weapon idea's and Nerf/Buff Suggestions

[Micromanagment]

Weapon Idea's

Plasma - Similar to Anti-matter weapons, exept it does minimal damage to shields, and aoe damage on hull. (Acid effect)

Partical Beam - High shield damage, minimal hull damage, a uses a lot of power.

Rail Gun - Cheap, hight attack speed, uses limited ammo, (can take out missles)



Nerfs

Shields take power to maintain instead of recharging.

Anti Matter does less damage to shields and more to hull

Buffs

Missles do some damage to shields

Fortified hull take less damage, and degrade longer.

Missiles need a huge nerf to their damage to unshielded targets. Right now they just obliterate any block within 90% of the blast radius. They should instead have their damage mitigated as the blast goes through multiple blocks.

That wouldn\'t be so much a nerf as a fix.

The damage and radius should both be affected by blocks impacted, meaning that armor reduces blast radius as well while it goes through. An unarmored power core, for instance, would be vaporized, losing 100% effectiveness - but an armored one would lose only 30% or some such, depending on the design.

Missile damage mitigation is a HUGE one for me. Might give me a good reason to use damage/radius over distance/speed now, too :P
