Cold/Heat Weapons

thefastone21

When the Tholians are introduced could we have some Cold/Heat type weapons added to the game.

Then if possible could we make them devastating if used on the Tholians/Breen (I,E shot a Tholian with a cold weapon and it shatters & expldoes)


We have the CRM-200 and the Ice nades... could we get something a bit.. rifle looking please.

Plasma Minigun should look and funtion more like a flame thrower...
Just a wish.

"The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, 'You know, I want to set those people, over there, on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.'" - George Carlin

The shattering might be a good graphic if they die of cold damage (as opposed to the usual disintegration effect for dying on a critical hit). I would be wary of granting an automatic instant-kill though. Perhaps cold weapons could have a percentage bonus against Tholians?

I would truly enjoy melting Breen!

Well we don't even need a bonus since the usual equipment has no or next to no resistance to heat/cold so they'll be more effective naturally just by using those energy types.

we already have both plasma weapons leave behind burning effects and the breen crm 2000 isecondary function is a aoe cone of super cold energy .

Yes, but Plasma doesn't count as heat, it counts as plasma. I don't know why they're splitting hairs here about being set on fire but well they do.

I think we should do this. And the following passive resistances should apply:

Ferasan: Cold
Catian: Cold
Gorn: Heat
Breen: Cold
Cardassian: Heat
Andorian/Aenar: Cold
Vulcan: Heat
Tholians: Heat

With these passive resistances, there should also be a passive vulnerability to the opposite. So while a Cold weapon will not affect a Ferasan, a Heat weapon will. But neither of them will affect a Klingon all that much.

I wish we could use our Fire Extinguishers to put people out. It'd give that thing more purpose.
