I think it'd be useful to have a cooling beam as either a small weapon or large (or both). It would work extremely slowly, however, so the purpose of it is for someone in a hornet (if there is a small one) to eqip themselves with four, and work in a group. It should be effective enough that groups want someone doing this, but not effective enough to ruin the temperature facture of mining.

But maybe have the cooling beam drain your battery at some rate (similar to turbo rates).

I like it.

[Seconded]

Good idea.

/givemelon Devs 1

if they do it...

That's going to be really hard to balance. Either the cooling beam would be so weak as to be pointless, or else it would likely make the temperature factor pointless. thginkrej's idea of making it drain the battery might help keep it balanced, but I personally don't think there's really any need for a cooling beam. There's enough 'roids around, just move to another one when one gets hot.

So how/when do I find out if the devs like this and want to put it in?

when you see it on the In-progress page. or when it suddenly shows up in a release.

BTW, for confused individuals that last samsonelite post was me. Sam and I are bro's, and I guess he didn't log off...
