    I'm curious... What exactly are the differences between laser weapons and solid stuff? I mean, in most sci-fi games I played laser weapons are placed in the energy-based weapon category, which are weapons that always ignore physical armor.

    So... Lasers have unique properties or are simply a skin for high tier weapons?

    Hmm... this last Weapon, the Lasergun, there is only one thing that comes me in mind: Never cross the Streams! xD

    no offence but don't we already have laser weapons? this new weapon is just a plasma stream so it's basically like a flame thrower but with plasma it's still cool tho

    These are truly laser weapons.
    In a sense, yes we technically had laser weapons, though in code they were always just several bullets shot in rapid succession with sprites made to look like a laser.
    But if this is to be believed, it's basically like a hitscan laser, more in fashion with actual lasers instead of multiple bullets.

    Plus it would lag less.
    The new Laser guns (from what I observed) have 0 travel time. For anyone familiar with FPS Mechanics, it's basically a Hitscan weapon unlike your current guns where bullets have a slow enough travel time for you to see the individual bullets.

    In Star Wars we had a lightsabers. In Terraria we had a phaseblades and a phasesabers. In Starbound we (will) have a lasersword, laserbow, lasergun and other laserweapons. Starbound-we make everything better, than the others!

    Will we get laser axes or spears? Cause I like spears and I'm sure the floran that's gonna be in my crew would enjoy having one

    I'm a little curious if some of the food that was removed from the game might make their way back in, and/or that new food might be farmed/prepared. '3'

    Will weapons like these be generated or will everyone who's using them have the exact same weapons (defeating the purpose of randomly generated weapons)? :nope:
