using imagination, and a little tweeking i came up with this weapon.
HPPP: heat 20: dam 15: range [3]7/15/22: ton 11: crit 7: cost 600,000: bv 391
constructed from an erppc, with twin inline capacitors that increases the energy output. the HPPC is a massive weapon, with several draw backs. the first is heat. even after the design team added intergrated cooling units, the weapon easily overwhelms most designs. the second is caused by the capacitors that when hit tend to explode. the third is caused by the weapons massive ion output, forcing designers to reinstall the particle buffers. but every now and then the gun suffers a critical feedback and explodes.
rules:
on a roll of 2, weapon explodes.
if weapon suffers a critical hit, it explodes.
explosions cause 20 points of damage as per ammo explosions.

Now that is an interesting weapon of mass-destruction. I bet that little toy would keep a number of mech-jocks happy.

Other than range two standard PPCs beat this monster weapon hands down.

considering the existence of the PPC Capacitor, I would not think this weapon as being at all needed as you basicly get the same effect without as many added tons & crits

i don't normally do this, but i'm gonna resurrect this topic for discussion.
It is interesting how close this kinda comes to the HPPC produced by the DC. A ton heavier, a few crits bigger, and the added heat and range of an ER adaptation.
Talk about getting somethin nearly right.

Kind of like my Light PPC, it was .5 half lighter and had less range and some other things going for it.
Yours is interesting and I am going to add it to my files.

| Looks like an improved version of the Heavy PPC of the dracs though. Very hot weapon though. It is hard enough to use the regular Heavy PPC (3/6/12/18, 15 dmg 15 Heat) as it is !

Please note the date of the original post. 2002-06-29.
The reason i resurrected this was because the game has an official HPPC and my stats were not that far off considering my version was adapted from the ERPPC and not the PPC. Reduce the range by 4, add a minimum of 3, and reduce the heat by 5 in order to get the non-er version. I got pretty darn close.
