Curious how the SCP is coming along!

Any chance there's a visual upgrade to laser turrets as well? I always felt those laser bolts were a little unimpressive.

[674094b575fb4voodoo47]

no, not at the moment.

[674094b576142ZylonBane]

It's a pulse of coherent light. What else would it look like?

Or that ^

Different laser colors? Something that leaves a mark on the walls? A blinding flash when you get hit?

[674094b576741ZylonBane]

All energy weapon projectiles have been upgraded to emit appropriately colored light, and explode in a pretty shower of sparks when they hit something.

[674094b576b2bRocketMan]

Not that that video isn't spectacular but it has nothing to do with lasers.  Now if you wanted to make a turret that could do THAT....

Not this again ...

[674094b5772d1ZylonBane]

Anyone know what Marvin's talking about?

For God's sake, stop applying perfectly well-defined physical concepts to arbitrary SciFi thingamajigs like "laser turrets".

[674094b577645ZylonBane]

I still have no idea what you're babbling about.

But didn't you know the entire point of Shock2 is to be a reality simulator?!

It's not a pulse of coherent light and if it were, it would look completely different.

But didn't you know the entire point of Shock2 is to be a reality simulator?!

Ask ZB.

On Marvin's authority, laser turrets in SCP will now fire puppies.

You really have to work on your retorts. Also, responding to a perfectly normal feature request with a sincere "because 2+2=5" does not make you sound cool.

[674094b578427The Silver]

ZylonBane is the one really working on these things, he got his hands dirty so he is the only one entitled to define what they are, how they look and how they behave, and the people that are doing nothing and simply waiting for his work have no rights to contribute with their stupid ideas. 

Or maybe not... 

[674094b57869aZylonBane]

Also, responding to a perfectly normal feature request with a sincere "because 2+2=5" does not make you sound cool.

"I always felt those laser bolts were a little unimpressive." is not a feature request. So don't go trying to claim the high ground now, Mister "Not this again".

[674094b578a33Kolya]

It's not a pulse of coherent light and if it were, it would look completely different.

I honestly have no idea what it would look like or if it would look like anything at all if it's not passing through steam of something. Please illuminate.

[674094b578bcaJoin2]

Lol, perhaps this thread does need a jerry can and match applied to it afterall 

[674094b578da6Chandlermaki]

OP title should be changed to "Curious how much we can argue in a single thread".

[674094b578ed5voodoo47]

it's a zap-zap-zapity lazor thingy, not meant to amaze, but to shoot you dead. it does the job nicely.

[674094b579068Kolya]

It could shoot you dead in amazing ways. http://www.kitguru.net/channel/generaltech/carl/man-builds-laser-gatling-gun/
Sorry, I know. Not helping. But come on, LASER Gatling Gun!

[674094b57919aDizzy]

 The missile was a good upgrade. The laser is fine as is. It shoots a short laser, but I guess you could make it flashier... not really necessary though.


EDIT: Kolya get me one of those plox 

[674094b5792aavoodoo47]

yeah. also, as mentioned quite a few times before, SS2's lasers are not real lasers, but movie (or star wars) lasers.
