: Yes, that was in M2. I think it makes sense, too - the Lava F'lickta are
: immune to lava and live in incredibly hot conditions. The plasma pistol
: does nothing more (I think) than just shooting out a shitload of heat. So,
: if they're heat-resistant to such an extreme as to be immune to lava, then
: it makes sense that they're immune to plasma.
For that matter I was wondering the other day - why don't plasma bolts do 'flame' damage? Shouldn't getting hit with plasma burn up the target?
Might be interesting to implement that in Eternal X. Would force you to use something other than Plasma weapons if you want to steal someone's weapon.
I've been thinking of beefing up the Pfhorstaff and adding ammo to the Trooper Rifle anyway, so that might counterbalance such a change.
But I think plasma weapons are supposed to do some sort of 'electrical' damage, as off as that seems by the name, since they 'short out' Pfhor machinery. Maybe I should rename them to "Fusion" weapons (which seems to be used synonymously in Marathon), and leave it at that.
