Just a thought i had while flying around. Being able to charge a plasma at the risk of burning up from more heat but inturn dealing more damage the longer you charged it. I dont know what kind of replies i was looking for by posting this but let me know what you think
Horizons Be cool if you could charge a plasma accel, right?

Interesting idea although it would have to cap out somewhere otherwise I could use a stealth build to charge forever with heat sinks and 1 shot anyone.
Decent idea but not sure how it would factor into gameplay where firing several shots is often better than 1 big one due to accuracy concerns (Imperial hammer vs railgun, Advanced PA vs normal PA etc). Not an overnight change by any standards but It could work if done right.

Very good idea!
1) Great idea
2) Won't happen, most likely
3) If it does, the 5-shot "clip" that can be emptied in 5 normal shots or one big one is the easiest way about it, I'd say.

As I use a Plasma Acc on my Fed Assault Ship I agree this would be a good idea, the Dev's could scale it that you could hold the trigger for upto 3 - 5 seconds before it auto fires, however the longer you hold the trigger the more heat builds in your ship. at the 5 second mark it could auto fire or disable your Plasma cannon for 20 seconds whilst it dissipates the heat thus impairing the person for the inability to let the energy loose. and the damage could scale appropriately. just a thought also the longer you hold it the more ammo you use 1 second 1 round/2-3 secs 2 rounds/3-5 secs 3 rounds. Keeping the 100 rounds capacity
