No energy weapons mod

[Robpyne17]

Personally i hate the idea of plasma/laser/atomic weapons in the game and for me it ruins to great post apocalyptic feel. If anyone else shares this view or just likes making mods please could a mod be made that removes all energy weapons from leveled lists and crafting, then replace them with conventional (kinetic) weapons from the game so everyone isnt unarmed!

Thanks

I think I could potentially do this...is Gaussian stuff okay? because then I could just make the laser weapons shoot Gauss projectiles? or do I have to kill the Gauss Cannon too?

 

PM me if you want me to follow up on this mod.

Isn't the Gauss gun a mass driver? That would mean it's not an energy weapon, it just accelerates ballistics via magnets or coils.

[Ekayne]

coils which need energy there boss....I mean, I would consider it an energy weapon because it needs a battery to shoot....but that's why I asked, yeahhh.....

[Hallgarth]

Yeah, but all weapons require energy, whether it's the release of energy via the ignition of gunpowder in a bullet casing or the steady release of propulsion from a rocket. I'm thinking because the gauss doesn't fire energy and uses it simply as the means to propel an object, that it's ballistic not energy.

I guess I'm making the distinction based on what it shoots, not what form of energy it uses to shoot it with. In the end, it's up to interpretation.

Alright there, you smartass :P

 

Have a good one. haha

I agree. This combined with other survival mods would add such a great post-apocalyptic gritty feel to the game. Someone please make this happen.

I would endorse this. I feel there's not really enough energy weapon variety to begin with, so removing them isn't that big a deal.

i.e. we have Laser Rifle/Pistol, Laser Musket, Plasma Rifle/Pistol, Gamma Gun, and Laser Gatling.

Whereas for kinetic weapons we have the Combat Rifle, Assault Rifle, Hunting Rifle, Shotgun, Combat Shotgun, 10mm, .44, submachine gun, handmade rifle, etc

 

Now another important question, how would you remove energy weapons from Robot enemies?

[Gruffydd]

Wouldn't this run into story problems when dealing with certain BoS/Institute quests?

You are forgetting a key component of the FOverse's style: Atom Punk. Factor that in, and energy weapons make perfect sense.
