::ISTR that in dune everybody uses gunpowder weapons extensively and nobody uses lasers because of accidentally nuking themselves was seen as counterproductive in any scenario other than "about to lose anyway". (Again my memory may be wrong, but in general only elite troops got forcefields because they were high tech and thus pricy) Personally I would swap normal rifles and laser rifles around with armour - so lasbolts will penetrate armour this gives people more of a reason to risk playing with zapy which is not huge at the moment. Also don't forget the other downside of a forcefield - if used on dune itself a forcefield is a ReallyReallyAngrySandwormAttractaton?. --Drac |
