Plasma?

from Sins Forums
A quick question as an Advent player.

Does Plasma count as "energy" weapon type?

I only ask because the Halcyon Carrier's aura only increases "energy" weapon  speeds.

Every Advent weapon is an energy weapon type. What I don't know is if TEC lasers count as energy weapons. Hope that helps.

Well I assume that the planet bombing isn't part of that, obviously, but yes that helps thank you.

I hope the TEC lasers count and hopefully the Vasari wave and even pulse gun use it too... anyone care to test all that?

Well the TEC use laser-based weaponry. I could find out if it uses energy on wikipedia. Let me go on first to check out but i'm not sure about the Vasari... :NOTSURE:

The gain medium of a laser is a material of controlled purity, size, concentration, and shape, which amplifies the beam by the process of stimulated emission. It can be of any state: gas, liquid, solid or plasma.The gain medium absorbs pump energy, which raises some electrons into higher-energy ("excited") quantum states. From wikipedia :LOL:

I'm quite afraid that the physics engine in this game is not based off of what wikipedia says.....

rofl, nice man.

It woukld make sense that anything other than missles and autocannons would count as energy.

TEC Laser Weapons are effected by the carrier energy weapon buff. I have seen it work.

Sweet Kenquinn -

Anyone know about the Vasari? - I assume it works, but a test would be good.
