Hello fellow pilots

 

So lately i've been playing siege(my favorite game mode) and while looking at how the enemy positioned under the AA I was struck by an idea.

What if the game had a support class, that used beams of energy to melt opponents and/or project a defensive unpassable barrier forward that allies can shoot through and enemies can't, a good idea to balance this is to make it work like turret mode does, the mech provinding the shield takes double damage when hit from the back while maintaining the shield, kinda like a guardian, and the opposite firing mode could be, to change the beam into a simple high-constant DPS weapon to just cut through a line of enemies, piercing them.

In a less critical way of saying it...

 

Laser and beam weapons don't fit into the lore. Majority of the game is centered on physical projectiles.

For the shield, idk. It would have to be carefully balanced.

The lore of the game is based on present day Earth, in which we have laser weapons in current use.

The idea is decent, but with no draw back provided it will receive no positive votes. Perhaps a weapon like that that doesn't deal actual damage, but stacks heat toward the enemy's weapons. It, in turn, would also have a high heat creation.

The shield would be easily implemented using current mech designs as well as the current bubble shield.

Perhaps a direct counter to the incinerator? the beamer would focus hm and make hm over heat as his beam would generate more heat than he can dispense with the SAARE
