Well, energy currently sucks, or at least, compared to the other elements, it is too weak.
After seeing SawzAll's idea, I thought, great, although I found it a great but impossible idea, it was a start.
Many people have ideas, but few are willing to make threads about them.
So: here's a thread where you can post your ideas:
Just write damage, energy damage, costs, other important things (movement, backfire, etc.) and weight if you want
To start it off:
Drone:
111-194 dmg
227 eng drain
177 eng cost
0 heat cost
0 backfire
0 movement
infinite uses
infinite range
weight: tbd, I would say around the same as all other drones
So, basically a mini emp on a drone
Now hear me out, it would be very strong against heat and phys, yes, but it would be balanced against energy, and isn't that exactly what we need, a drone that can counter heat or phys, whilst still requiring you to equip appropriate modules, and is balanced vs energy, anyways feel free to comment, I won't make a poll since it's confusing.
Now, a reminder, you are welcome to reply to other's ideas, or to post your own.
Let's hope to get to some decent items to buff eng.
Item Idea 2:
Meant to try and attempt to make energy huggers more viable.
Grim Rain
2 Pull
2 Uses
81 eng cost
30 heat cost
187 eng drain
19 regen drain
top weapon
Meant to combo with either storm weaver, bright roar or upc
Would make upc and stormweaver usable, whilst not being too op
I cna understand if you do not want all items to be created in other elements, but I think, since this is among the most used heat weapons eng might need it too.
