So this is made to just be a project of planning due to me not being any expert for Particle Weapons and don't want there to be major mistakes, so I am making these blueprints through the Particle Beam ;-; This also is kind of a test both in lore and on scratch so when I finally understand Particle Weapons the DoM Science team finally will :D -=Fire thing=- It first starts by Charging a specific type of particles (Of your choosing),You then start to move the Particles around until they approach high speeds (Depends but for easiest choose Electrons). Before they exit the barrel it is condensed into a stream as it is launched out of the barrel and has nasty effects on whoever is hit. Though only in a short range (For Space Standards) -=How it works in some more detail=- So the main thing I want to focus on is how it gains speed, so there are sequential electromagnetic rings which move the Particles until they reach the best speed for lethality and that is when they are fired -=It's flaws=- It requires an INSANE amount of energy to work so they are usually placed near the Fusion reactors to share power from the engines, that or they could just have their own source It also has a short range, though since UPE didn't specify so lets go on it's biggest flaw overall, it SUCKS IN ATMOSPHERE! Luckily for us we have other cannons and mix it with Plasma and Railguns to help us in Atmosphere. (Which won't matter too too much due to most battles occuring in space) Though even in space it is still a strong short range weapon, so I have developed a good system of different stages of weapons. Long Range Space Warfare usually has missiles, Railguns, Gauss guns, etc. Medium Range Space Warfare focuses on Plasm Close range we will use Drones and Particle Weapons :D Note: I know I forgot to talk about a few other components but they are pretty simple
