I'm trying to figure out how to add some "sci-fi" weapons to the game.
Anyone have suggestions how to implement the following?
Laser: Essentially can hit whatever it can see quite easily, but its effects would be blocked by obscurants and performace degraded by weather effect.
My thoughts are to treat it as a HEAT weapon, with a small warhead size and high penetration.
Plasma gun: Essentially this weapon would have high damage/penetration at short ranges and then dissipate at medium/long ranges.
My thoughts are to use the AP weapon type and set a short range, but I don't think at longer ranges the penetration would suffer enough?

There is some discussion on Sci-Fi mods going on already on the old DOS SPMBT Yahoo! discussion forum.

You may want to check that out, as they may already have a wheel available, so you don't have to re-invent it
!
