>>5216864Lorewise Lucius is renowned for its strong armor plating derived from Luciun, which is made via the artificial core, as well as having (though I don't know if we have done it yet) rediscovered the Mecharius Heavy Tank
The secrets of Plasma is more Ryza's thing. That being said, nothing stops us from one day going to Ryza, or Talos just being so smart that he can do it himself, to develop superior plasma weapons production. My main beef against Plasma is primarily lack of range and speed in comparison to beam weapons, but these could theoretically be mitigated. I do think Plasma makes for superior artillery capability than standard shells though
>I have a fondness for magnetic accelerators because they are very easy on logistics due to the ease of munitions Define Magnetic Accelerators? Do they use a metal core for ammunition or plasma? Not too big a fan of that since it does rely on a finite supply of matter. A plasma weapon with some armor piercing kinetic punch does sound nice
Personally, my proposed solution to all of that would be me ideas on a Waldenclyffe Transceiver to be inveted alongside T35LA. Imagine if, anywhere on a ship, near a dedicated trasnceiver vehicle or base, an Acillian never needs to concern himself with running out of ammunition or energy charges? His weapon automatically ressuplied and recharged via galvanic energy waves through the air. The Necrons do something similar where their weapons do not need to be reloaded or supplied, simply deriving power from a field of generated energy in the air
And if we can go further with Technomancy to develop matter-synthesis devices, we could further implement even solid slug accelerator munitions much easier by having the ammunition created within the weapon itself, ready for use
A device like that would eliminate so many logistical constraints and allow for a wide variety of energy weapons to have their potency increased
>Sadly I do not have any good ideas against psykers besides null techThere's a whole field of Null tech. . .. Everything from weapons to empower nulls, to small infantry, medium vehicle and large planetary scale generators. it's just Xenos knowledge right now
>Another weapon I think is vastly underrated is Thermite and incendiary in generalNot a bad idea at all, though I think Heat Ray/Plasma type weapons still have greater functionality than anything fuel based. In the Mechanicus Game, they even combined plasma throwers with Gauss disintegration energy, so we could just hose down spore areas and watch the green disintegrating energies spread out and consume stuff.
There's also Phosphex weapons too, nasty stuff and very hard to clean, but they burn with intense radiation.
Anyway, today is not that day. If it is in QMs plans, maybe one day Talos can have some glorious turns purely for tinkering and experimenting and weapons design but we should focus on the here and the now.
