Power Transmission Laser
As I slowly chug along fixing and buffing and redoing PAIS and making my own version of guncrafting, I'd like to port the PTL from Goonstation public release as a side project
Basically
Laser.
Insert power.
LAser fires off z level
It incinerates anything blocking it
Station benefits from selling power
thoughts?

Re: Power Transmission Laser
cool because it gives engineering something to do with the infinite excess power they generate
lame because it gives cargo infinite credits because >selling an infinite resource

Re: Power Transmission Laser
Make it targetable at lavaland.

yes I know the Satellite Rain is a mass driver weapon based on dropping tungsten rods on the planet from orbit rather than a laser but still
Also make sabotaging it so it vaporises centcom a tator objective.

Re: Power Transmission Laser
A power transmission laser would work well with a split-map on the same z-level, such as that 'segregated' station...

Re: Power Transmission Laser
Sounds like a great idea.
It would be nice if it helped engineering more than the rest of the station. Recharging on air tanks, RCDs, and cut resistant wires?

Re: Power Transmission Laser
Make it an alternate engine. Build a generator on lavaland and use the laser to transmit power to the station. The engine section of engineering gets a receiver dish that has to be focused/aligned properly in order to work. Otherwise, the laser misses and sets vast swaths of the station on fire.

There we go, a big ol hunking geothermal plant that takes killing a few trash mobs to safely setup that lasers power up to the station

Re: Power Transmission Laser
Would prefer to make power scarce rather than double up on what purpose it serves. Would also need to change power generation to be based on a resource or skill or decision or something rather than being a chore.

Re: Power Transmission Laser
I'm stilling working on this. On that note, should this be a hitscan beam or a projectile laser? And should it be a fixed direction or better... rotatable? :^)

I might make a machine that reflects the beam around, and another that will reflect it onto lavaland. Honk.Shaps wrote:Being able to call down fire support on lavaland sounds awesome

Re: Power Transmission Laser
even if it's primary purpose is to sell the power for mad spacecash, please at least make it possible to build on-station receiver stations, so you can beam power to other, closer objects such as space autism forts, the derelict or KSS13 or whatever.
also it definitely needs a nuke this site from orbit[X] lavaland function, albeit probably with some restrictions such as RoF, coordinate targeting, aiming requirements etc.
thx mekhi

Re: Power Transmission Laser
also make sure you make the amount of receiver-transmitter bounces more than 1, so you could build a receiver station on lavaland, a transmitter there and then cut SS13 in half from lavaland with a giant superlaser.
thanks

Re: Power Transmission Laser
It's actually a fair point because power right now is free and infinite. So basically this laser just means extra points for cargo that they can reasonably expect every round.cocothegogo wrote:retarded point. doesn't even matter because rounds don't even last an hour, why can't we have 20 minutes of fun?PKPenguin321 wrote:lame because it gives cargo infinite credits because >selling an infinite resource
Now you're making a fair point that extra points for cargo won't kill anyone, which I'm inclined to agree with. It's just that if we want to give cargo more points, we should just give them more points directly instead of creating a complicated system that doesn't actually make power generation or interaction any different than it is now that happens to give cargo more points as a side effect.

Re: Power Transmission Laser
It gives engineering something to set up and do instead of wait for bombs to happen or try to be creative for the nth time finding a project to do themselves. Cargo getting points is really a side-effect, and a subjective one at that.

Re: Power Transmission Laser
Fixing engines so they require actual maintenance,
ee fuel and weren't self sustaining perpetual energy machines might actually make something like this idea worthwhile and give engineering an honest reason to exsist outside of flipping the breaker box on.
