Introducing a new type of weapon, (and or ammo type) DoT weapons!!!
Hey, how would it work you say? Why, it's the same thing as setting a person on fire or poisoning them! In my thread
http://arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,5624.0.html We agree on DoT weapons are very very cool.
What will it be called then? The ship can be called: the burner, or the poisoner, or the "ship with DoT weapons" either one is good, as long the ammo type is called : radiation or poison or burn.
Back to the thread, how would it work? After hitting your target, and your hits will stack, your enemy will continue to sustain damage every second of their miserable lives (or just a minute if you want to) That will teach them to run away from you!!! But wait, there's more, training your weapon on high health enemies is also extremely useful, whether it will do more damage over time, or simply making it sustain damage every second, you will be please to see such target's health going away at a constant speed.Making it damage 1 for 60 seconds will mean every shot is 60 damage, as stacking these shots will not influence the total damage. Making it damage 10 for 60 seconds and you got yourself a standard ship, making it damage certain ships for 100 for 60 seconds and you got your self a standard coward killing , bully destroying machine!
