(also it would be nice if hirez added "paintjobs" to the weapons) the disc could be coloured orange, but a sorta(spyro)purple would be pretty cool too, yeah when i think about it jeez it would be gorgeus as in, i would buy and use such a weapon for shear aesthetics. and if it was a very good weapon...

How about a spinfuzor which increased direct damage over the duration it is traveling. For instance, if it is flying for 2 seconds, it adds 2x the amount of base damage to its initial amount. Ex. t = time x = base damage of spinfuzor x + x(t) If the base damage is 350, and the disc is in the air for 3 seconds 350 + 350(3) = 1400 damage If the disc hits the ground, the effect is negated, and simply does 350 base damage. If the spinfuzor explodes in the air when it reaches its max duration, it should only do amplified damage to people who are not on the ground. This amplification only applies toward people, deployables or base assets should only receive base damage. Obviously, the damage scales up quickly in relation to the target's health, but long midairs are hard to come by. I feel a weapon like this would change the gameplay more so by tempting the auto and hitscan users to use this weapon instead. Then Tribes Ascend would be more like Tribes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, I am also for the Honorfusor. I would love to have a better and harder hitting spinfuzor to use than the dueling spinfuzor. I hate it when I midair someone from a long distance, and they don't die. I agree when increasing the base damage f the Honorfusor, it needs to be nerfed in radius.

I think this would be a very good addition. I hate to ground pound and this would finally give me a good reason not to do so.

The Disc has a set time for distance to damage. so on To a Given amount of damage.. Since 6 seconds is the Max flight time of a disc perhaps

You shoot and seconds later

<.5 Seconds=200 damage
1-1.5 Seconds =300 damage
1.5-2 Seconds =400 damage
2-2.5 Seconds =500 damage
2.5-3.0 Seconds =600 damage
3.0-3.5 Seconds =700 damage
3.5-4.0 Seconds =800 damage
4.0-4.5 Seconds =900 damage
4.5-5.0 Seconds =1000 damage
5.0-5.5 Seconds =1200 damage
5.5-6.0 Seconds =1300 damage

On top of this Each .5 of a second the Radius of your disc Shot should reduce slightly something like 2% every .5 of a second.
This would in turn translate to the smaller the radius the Larger the amount of splash damage.

Keep in mind that In order for a ChaseFusor to do as much damage as a Duelspinfusor the Disc would have to be traveling for at least 3 seconds, that alone is a Long shot to hit. *Go in game and see if you agree*
