Oh ok. That makes sense. Basically, because it is so infused with the soil it's hard to smelt which is the process of separating the Iron from the surrounding material.

Yes.

 

[RedEmRa]

And Reece sure as hell isn't planning to mine for iron

 

[MrThe]

LOL, nope probably not.

 

[MrThe]

So how do you handle player on player violence capMARVELOUS ?

So how do you handle player on player violence capMARVELOUS ?

PvP combat is handled in turns. Player A performs an action, and Player B starts out their response by indicating what effect Player A's action had on them. Then Player B performs an action, and so on and so forth. These scenarios require a healthy dose of good judgment and logical thinking to end up being fair and enjoyable.

 

[MrThe]

Ok, so good to plan them out then. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[MrThe]

Is there a big difference in this RP on how railguns and slug throwers work besides the propulsion system? capMARVELOUS

Not really, aside from railguns are harder to come by.

 

[MrThe]

Thanks, are they more powerful than slug throwers?

 

[capMARVELOUS]

Thanks, are they more powerful than slug throwers?

Yes. And more dangerous.

 

[MrThe]

In what way are they more dangerous? Do you mean to the user?

 

[capMARVELOUS]

In what way are they more dangerous? Do you mean to the user?

Well, for starters, they're extremely high-powered, so a shot from one is basically an instant kill. Second, they have a high level of kickback, which can hurt the user severely. Third, if handled improperly... well, things get very messy.

 

[MrThe]

Ah, and what would constitute handling improperly? From what it sounds like, these are not very rapid-fire weapons either, best be careful with your shots. And also are railguns only rifles or can they come in pistol form?

 

[MrThe]

Basically I want to know if this could be a Railgun.

Improper handling for railguns includes not wearing proper equipment (electricity-resistant arm armor, heavy light-blocking visor, etc.) and basically firing it without any of the proper training. Railgus, as of now, are large, bulky, unwieldy things, so no, a firearm that size could not be a railgun.

 

[MrThe]

Ok, sounds good to me. Would say that it looks more like a Lasergun or a Slugthrower?

 

[capMARVELOUS]

A mix of both. Basically, something like below.

[MrThe]

Ok, I think I get the picture, they seem more likely to be anti-material or anti-vehicle weapons than anti-personnel.

 

[MrThe]

How about plasma guns?

 

[capMARVELOUS]

Yes. Anti-personnel railguns are currently in development, but won't be available for a long time.

 

[MrThe]

You know, your saying that the gun looks like a mix between laser gun and regular gun made me wonder if it's possible that it could shoot superheated bullets.

 

[capMARVELOUS]

How about plasma guns?

Plasma guns are, in fact, a thing that you can use. They're mostly small in size. I think we have another player using plasma guns, so of course it's a thing.

You know, your saying that the gun looks like a mix between laser gun and regular gun made me wonder if it's possible that it could shoot superheated bullets.

Mostly electrically-charged shells, but they're pretty hot.

 

[MrThe]

Ok, any difference between plasma and laser guns?

Not really. The terms seem interchangeable around here.
