SPECIAL FEATURES

• Fires individual gravity waves similar to a miniature directed version of the Gravity Bomb on its default setting
• On secondary setting, fires a miniature energy torpedo version of a Singularity Mine
• On third setting, fires a thin constant beam at a target capable of slowing them down to a pace akin to being placed in an Entropy Field
• Exotic Micro-Singularity Power Source unique to this weapon
• Firing sounds are nearly silent.
• Energy discharge is black in color in all settings, making beam potentially difficult to spot in dark settings.

STRENGTHS

• No Colors Anymore: The energy discharge of all three of this pistol's settings is black in color, making it potentially extremely useful for night time operations
• Subway Walls: The energy discharge is nearly silent in all settings due to integrated sound dampening stealth unit technology (NOTE: this technology does not quiet the movements of the user themselves. It is simply to silence the noise of what would otherwise be an enormous firing sound.
• Dread Void: The Device is powered by a very tiny singularity. As in, a Black Hole. It some how harnesses gravitational waves from this singularity and condenses them into various effects. This in effect, gives it so much ammo it will never run out during Mila's lifetime, or possibly anyone else's. (NOTE: However, while it's ammo is theoretically unlimited, internal capacitors were installed as a safety measure to prevent catastrophic overheating. While this pistol could fire on all three settings, were the Capacitors to be removed, the stress of constant firing would rapidly damage internal components. The Phrik is strong but even it would reach the limits of it's engineering if it really could fire endlessly. The Capacitors and the settings associated with them exist to allow the pistol to discharge it's unlimited ammo pool in a measured, controlled manner with measured, controlled discharges and frequencies and to allow the weapon's parts brief periods of non stress while the capacitors draw power from the singularity. Hence the ammo settings listed at the top of the sub)
• Gun of Warping: It's first setting fires a single, compacted gravity wave capable of ignoring most shields, potentially shaking apart a targets atoms in a radius the size of a quarter on impact, but potentially drilling clean through a body shaking apart all the atoms in a quarter-like radius as it does so, even if target is in full, heavy armor. The gravity wave projectile behaves like an extremely powerful charric against lightsabers, potentially causing severe kinetic impact that can possibly send the blade flying from an opponents hand. The nature of the projectile also makes it difficult to stop with the Force via telekinesis (it's very difficult to Kylo Ren a projectile), as Gravity is a very unusual form of projectile that does not behave like standard energy bolts. It's secondary setting fires a projectile which behaves like an energy torpedo version of a Singularity Mine, potentially compacting a quarter meter diameter of material into an object the size of a pin head on impact, and also possesses the lightsaber and Force Stasis ignoring effects of the first setting. Setting three fires a compacted 'laser' of gravitic energy in an ultra thin continuous beam that can fire up to a full thirty seconds before the singularity chamber must recharge internal capacitors for up to a minute if they were completely exhausted, but acts like an extremely powerful version of an advanced gravity generator which has been combined with miniature Entropy Field Technology , potentially slowing a target down non lethally to the point they are potentially trapped in an Entropy Field of suspended animation, an effect that can last up to potentially two hours if one was exposed to the full battery of the blast. The gun can be fitted with scopes, stocks, and side mounts. (OOC: All damage is determined by other writer in PVP scenarios despite listed strengths)
• Feather: It's third discharge setting has very low recoil, allowing the user to keep the continuous beam on target
• Setting Three Burst Recharge: If setting three is fired in bursts of two to three seconds at a time, it has the fastest recharge setting of any of the Discharge Modes on the pistol, recharging in less than a second and a half.
• Rugged: ALL of its parts, even it's electronics, including it's casing are made of Phrik Alloy. This thing could probably survive extreme levels of kinetic and energy damage.

WEAKNESSES

• Setting 2 Projectile Speed: The Singularity Mine-Like projectiles of setting two travel at half the speed of a typical blaster bolt
• Setting 1 & 2 Fire Rates: Setting one requires three seconds between every trigger pull due to internal safety measures to prevent overheating. Setting 2 requires ten seconds between every trigger pull due to avoid risk of overstressing internal parts
• Repair issues: Yeah, you ain't fixing this thing with off the shelf parts. You would need a highly rated repair droid, a Verpine Technician, or Agatha herself, and even then, it's dicey. If it gets to the point it needs repairs, something has gone terribly wrong and you should run, because scientists have determined if this things exotic containment system failed completely, an area the radius of 14 meters would be affected and every bit of material in that radius would be at risk of being violently compacted into an object the size of a marble at the center of containment failure before the Singularity finally collapsed in on itself. However, it should be noted that it is constructed in such a way as to make it impossible to deliberately sabotage through subtle tweaks to internal parts, likely because whoever designed it judged the weapon simply too dangerous to risk it being able to be tampered with internally...it requires full on, overwhelming damage to it from an outside force to cause the risk of a collapse as mentioned above
• Recharge Limits: On the first two settings, the capacitor does not start recharging until the 'magazine' has been completely expended due to the stress those first two settings place on the frame of the pistol (Indeed, mist times the user may simply be tempted to leave it on the Non-Lethal setting near constantly. It must also be at full charge to switch settings as a safety measure. It can take a full minute on Setting 1, and a minute and a half on Setting 2, Meaning Setting 3 may get a lot of use
• Weight: Lugging this giant brick of a pistol around WILL tire you out
• Size: Too large to use as a hold out blaster to say nothing of actual concealment

DESCRIPTION

This ancient pistol, found embedded in a meteorite, is thought to be the remnant of some ghastly conflict on a world long forgotten by some, or perhaps the Magnum Opus of a psychotically amoral designer cut down in some titanic final battle. Indeed, Appraisers have noted the similarity between its Singularity chamber and the ones used by the Verpine, notorious for their lack of ethics during product testing. Indeed, it is something of a mystery as to how the singularity was even formed, let alone maintained yet has reliably persisted for thousands of years after it's initial discovery.

Through unknown means, Agatha acquired the legendary weapon in her search for the most devastating firepower she can possibly give Mila. The Void-Lock more than lives up to its reputation, having passed through countless hands before finding it's way to Mila via Agatha.

 

[Delsin Shaw]

I on behalf of the Factory Staff team apologize for the tardiness in reviewing this sub. I will be review it today. And there are a couple things I would like to see cleared up or discussed about.

Ammunition Type: Micro Singularity Chamber unique to weapon (Acts to recharge internal capacitors to fire)

Dread Void: The Device is powered by a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy tiny singularity. As in, a Black Hole. It some how harnesses gravitational waves from this singularity and condenses them into various effects. This in effect, gives it so much ammo it will never run out during Mila's lifetime, or possibly anyone else's. Indeed, so potent is the power source that it can be disconnected from the main weapon housing and used to power a starfighter or a small building through an unknown wireless induction tech also unique to the weapon. If fitted to a starfighter, special components allow the fighter it's power source is rigged to to generate a wormhole at the equivalent of 0.1 Hyperspace Travel Speed.

You list here that it will not run out of ammo. Or at the very least, the ability to recharge. Yet we have the following.

Ammunition Capacity: Average (75, Setting 1), Low (10, Setting 2), Extreme (Continuous Beam, Setting 3)

A listed ammunition capacity of specific settings in its different settings. These things contradict one another quite a bit. So this needs to be cleared up a bit. Does it really have "Theoretical Unlimited" ammo? Otherwise, the listings you have in the capacity are just dump points for you to be balanced on the ratings. Which is not accepted.

The Device is powered by a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy

I get being funny in a submission, but this is not really acceptable. Please reduce the "Very" to the base word.

If the Pistol's detachable power source is fitted to a starfighter, that fighter can use the Hyper Space Warping effect at the equivalent of a 0.1 Hyperdrive for the starfighter to use twice a day, in addition to powering the fighter itself.

So you have a pistol that can detach its power source, which is small enough to fit in a hand, and then plug it into a ship and give it a hyperdrive? No. I am sorry, but the amount of breaking of disbelief as well as in order to get into hyperspace, is to have the components of a Hyperdrive. This pistol is not a hyperdrive. its a gravity cannon. Please remove this functionality.

Firing sounds are nearly silent.

So I want to understand how this weapon is silent? is there some reason for it being silent? I mean, you are firing a singularity where everything within a short radius of it, is being pulled into it at near light speeds. (in theory) The ripping of the fabric of gravity and how it works would absolutely be loud. In the instance of creating a singularity in the hydron collider, was incredibly loud even if the singularity was there for barely a nano-second. So is there something that you can provide to me that would explain how its silent in everything it does?

Rugged: Most of its parts, even it's electronics, including it's casing are made of nearly indestructible Phrik Alloy. This thing could probably survive a planet exploding

Phrik is a very strong material, but it is not nearly indestructible. Please rephrase this.

Repair issues: Yeah, you ain't fixing this thing with off the shelf parts. You would need a highly rated repair droid, a Verpine Technician, or Agatha herself, and even then, it's dicey. If it gets to the point it needs repairs, something has gone terribly wrong and you should run, because scientists have determined if this things exotic containment system failed completely, an area the radius of 14 meters would be affected and every bit of material in that radius would be at risk of being violently compacted into an object the size of a marble at the center of containment failure before the Singularity finally collapsed in on itself.

The question I have is could someone intentionally cause damage to the weapon to just essentially make a "Singularity bomb" Which would be considered a Superweapon. In which case, No. This would not be accepted.

You mention through out the sub the ability to change from a singularity firing gun, into a beam type weapon that causes the victim to be "frozen" or held in place. How does the gun switch from messing with gravity, to making a beam that locks a person in place? As the other previous features show no control of the Singularity after being fired.

Due to the nature of this being an extremely exotic weapon and its basis being heavily led and built upon theoretical sciences, and with things that require a dedicated knowledge of, I wanted to point these things out to make sure everything is clear.

I appreciate your time.

Delsin Shaw , I have made significant edits to the sub based on feed back such as integrating actual entropy field tech to combine it with gravity generator tech, sound dampening tech to explain the silent firing, and removed the hyperspace powering and building powering. Am willing to make further edits to get sub passed.

 

[Delsin Shaw]

I will apologize quickly for a neglected ask from my earlier post.

I had intended to ask for you to add a notation somewhere in the submission, An ooc note is fine, that despite the wording of how the weapon functions, that for the balance of the site, the "victim" or whoever is attacked with this is still able to call their own hits, and is not forced to receive damage.

Normally I wouldn't ask people to put this notation in a submission, however due to how the weapon functions and its unique exotic properties, I would like for this to be added in.

Dread Void: The Device is powered by a very tiny singularity. As in, a Black Hole. It some how harnesses gravitational waves from this singularity and condenses them into various effects. This in effect, gives it so much ammo it will never run out during Mila's lifetime, or possibly anyone else's. (NOTE: However, while it's ammo is theoretically unlimited, internal capacitors were installed as a safety measure to prevent catastrophic overheating. While this pistol could fire on all three settings, were the Capacitors to be removed, the stress off constant firing would rapidly damage internal components. The Phrik is strong but even it would reach the limits of it's engineering if it really could fire endlessly. The Capacitors and the settings associated with them exist to allow the pistol to discharge it's unlimited ammo pool in a measured, controlled manner with measured, controlled discharges and frequencies and to allow the weapon's parts brief periods of non stress while the capacitors draw power from the singularity. Hence the ammo settings listed at the top of the sub

This is a good edit. Thank you for that.

If the Pistol's detachable power source is fitted to a starfighter, that fighter can use the Hyper Space Warping effect at the equivalent of a 0.1 Hyperdrive for the starfighter to use twice a day, in addition to powering the fighter itself.

I mentioned that the application of allowing it to be plugged into a ship in my previous post. You removed it from the strengths listing, but it is still mentioned in the Special features of the submission. Please go through the whole sub to make sure that any mention of this is removed. So far, this is the only one I was able to find.

Repair issues: Yeah, you ain't fixing this thing with off the shelf parts. You would need a highly rated repair droid, a Verpine Technician, or Agatha herself, and even then, it's dicey. If it gets to the point it needs repairs, something has gone terribly wrong and you should run, because scientists have determined if this things exotic containment system failed completely, an area the radius of 14 meters would be affected and every bit of material in that radius would be at risk of being violently compacted into an object the size of a marble at the center of containment failure before the Singularity finally collapsed in on itself.

These edits are acceptable. I appreciate the addition of not being intentionally used as a portable Singularity bomb.

I do see the edits you made to how the firing system works and that is acceptable. So the only thing now is just to make sure that the earlier mentioned of being plugged into a ship, and the notation of Damage done, be cleared up and I believe I can give this the green stamp. Thank you for providing the asked edits for the submission. I appreciate it.
