Weapon Cooldown Module / Capacitor Module

[AvorionCraft]

As Title Says.

A Cooldown Module that applies to any weapon with "overheat."

A Capacitor Module that applies to any weapon with "battery charge."

Limitations:

100% cooldown cannot turn any weapon into permafire.

Thinking in terms of mortars---these weapons are fun. With enough of them you can knock a ship into spins. Its great. Their firing rate is terrible though. Same with rails.

Some ideas:

Cooldown Modules

Flashcooling Module--Gives a weapon burst fire with a longer cooldown

Hypercooling Module--Gives a weapon up to 100% lower cooldown (dependent on quality of module) with diminishing returns after a firing rate of 1 is achieved, with each .1 after 1 taking more of the cooldown effect. For instance, a weapon with a firing rate of .6 can hit 1, but can never hit 1.2, but it could hit 1.05 or 1.1. A weapon with a firing rate of 1.4 could hit 1.6.

Rotor Module--Gives any 4-barreled gun the ability to rapid fire at a stead rate of 30% above their base firing rate, giving a steady rate of fire.

If these existed I would use Rotor and Hypercooling for consistent firing rates with little to no cooldown.

Capacitor Modules

Supercapacitor Module--Instant recharge of weapon, but the next cooldown takes twice as long.

MegaCapacitor Module--Increases internal battery life by up to 100% (dependent on quality of module)

DC Module--Straight Pipe to the ship's generators (does not work with other modules above). DPS is cut by %, but increased by the % of power generation over utilization on the ship with a cap of 100%
