Powered ACEL

    I remember a long time ago acel was in the powered materials.

     

    Powered acel

    or PCEL

    When pscn is sparked, it accelerates based on its temp. (Higher temp more acceleration, lower temp less or deceleration)

    nscn turns it off.

    temp affects its acceleration.

    Uses: multi-functional lasers

    jet engines

    plasma guns

    etc.

     

    Please comment, but do not flame.

    Sounds like a good idea to me.

    I think it has alot of uses in lasers.

    I approve!

    Or instead of a new element, just make the current ACEL powered.

    Who would flame this? This idea is great!

    this is achieveable using the new PSTN and FRME elements by quite a simple contraption, I'll leave the mech-skiellz to you

     Although the current ACEL can't be heated or cooled to change acceleration.

    I could do this if you want, but, I would have to create a new element since it would mess up a bunch of saves.

     It is a new element.

    This has already been added as a new feature for next release, the strength will be set from .life value. No new element needed.
    Default value (old behavior strength) for ACEL would be life 10 and default for DCEL is 9, these can be increased to have more effect.

    So when life is less than 10, it decelerates more, and above 10 is accelerates more?

    What about the powered aspect?
