About The Pull Request

this is an attempt to make energy weapons more reasonable for muni players by bringing them several more statistics that need to be managed, and one entire minigame definitely not borrowed from ds13
energy weapons degrade and lose effectiveness the more they're used, and muni needs to be on their toes to keep them functional and not exploding in your face.

Why It's Good For The Game

muni gameplay on the wisp real.

there are three new stats to keep track of, weapon heat, weapon lens alignment, and weapon frequency alignment - should any of these reach their worst state, ::fun:: things happen, including weapon explosions, shutdowns, in-ship laser fire, and dangerous steam venting.

Question: would this also come with adding muni tech as a job to the whisp or would someone else (ie engineers/MAA/whoever the captain assigns) be responsible for this?

this most likely will come with muni jobs on the wisp, yes- these changes will make single-manning the wisp much harder- but probably not impossible

I obviously don't know exactly how this system will work but in that case it might be good to restrict the amount of tecchies that we it can have because I expect we will many see cases where lots of people sign up for it since they see it as "the necessary job for NSV" (which it is on basically all ships) but no one goes for engineering, which is absolutely more essencial for the functioning of the whisp.

Of course it's all WIP and everything but I just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents considering the lack of engineers is a common issue for the map and it's a reason that people usually bring up as to why they dislike it.

Mapping wise, I would rather you either expand the rooms to actually have the associated machines next to their respective lasers, or move things around so it is generally consistent where they all are (specifically noticing the heat sinks being all over the place)

UnTMing for now, I hope the testing ingame so far has been helpful
