Its a nice addon, but I dont see it making that big of a difference, considering that at avatar stage you dont realy have psi users that use rifles much if at all. No reloads and an aim bonus is nice, but the resource cost is something you should consider, if you are barely sraping by.

cheers

It's as balanced as you want it to be, there's an .ini file that you can edit yourself to adjust to whatever your playstyle is. I mean you could make it exactly equal to the Plasma Rifle if you wanted to, so then it would just be an unlimited ammo weapon reskin.

It's a nice gun but can you make it where you can get it by the Gatekeeper Autopsy instead of the Avatar? Would still make it late game but at least you'll get some time to get a feel for it before the end game.

Umm... sure. That would make sense. I'll change that with the next update. Unfortunately, it may take a bit before the next version, as I am swamped with work and ran into a wall doing my current round of updates (to add mod support). I'm taking a little bit of a break from this one to get caught up with work, regain my sanity, and play around with another mod project (currently getting a feel for the map editor, since that project is going to require adding a new mission type and some new maps).

I played with it a lot and i think it's pretty balanced. The lack of reloads make a big of a difference already, and makes sense since only psi operatives can use.
Not sure how it will work with LW 2 though... from the gameplay seems balanced for it but due to the changes i don't even know if it would appear in the game.
(Psi operatives were altered in LW2)
