Title: QUESTION: Sectopod laser or Plasma?
Post by: NeoWorm on November 22, 2017, 04:05:56 pm
I am working on another phase of my basemod and there is one thing I want some feedback for. Sectopod ufopedia says plasma, ruleset says Laser. What should it be according to you?

Laser, for best possible sectopod-on-sectopod violence. Also for some variation in the alien arsenal.

I changed mine to an alien laser, and changed the UFOPedia to match.

I got it from YOUR mod.
It's from X-Com Files: WeaponSounds > LaserPistolFire.wav

It's different from the original laser pistol, it's a distorted version. I don't know where it comes from, but there was a whole range of distorted weapon sounds in your mod. I was guessing they are used on enemy weapon's fire to create improved sound quality, allowing your ears to differentiate between your weapons' fire and that which is coming at you.
