this is not a laser pointer, it's a laser cutter

I AM NO LONGER MAINTAINING MY MODS; IF YOU WISH TO TAKE OVER THIS MOD, PLEASE POST A MESSAGE IN THE COMMENTS AND I WILL GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU

lol, the energy usage. What are you doing?

You have the key ring version? i just need a marker to dig a strait tunnel

Maybe you should do some research into what a 20MW laser can do before you tell everyone to fuck off, mate.

I get that the energy usage is realistic so I dont see any reason to change it. Everyone else can just learn how to mod it as that was the intent.

By the way, if you want a designator for a rotor turret, Froid's script now has fixed support for using vanilla turrets as designatorsr, such as the MA Designator turret.

With a 20MW laser "pointer", we don't need any other weapons. It would cut the ship in half all by itself.

20 MW power draw...... would of been useful if not for the power requirements to just mark a target for turret fire.

We almost had a competent designator for WeaponCore, we were this close

Agree with others. This is really cool, but as a cosmetic device it should really consume negligible power.

I have to agree with the others. I really like this, but it takes far too much power.

This seriously need an update. 20 megawatts a second for a targetting laser is insanely ridiculous and wasteful. At least drop it to 2 megawatts at worst. Half a kilowatt at best.

Or, hell, allow players to adjust the range of the laser so it consumes significantly less.

cool mod, but please do change it to something less absurd like half a kilowatt

with 20MW laser you can cut 5 meters of steel on distance of 1 meter in 2020. In 2020 laser pointer with 2 kilo watt power usage can reach moon and transmitt data with it...
If you look at military laser pointers they can target at 50-100 km (when clear view) with only 100 mili watts laser...

As far as the range goes, will it work with mods that increase weapon range? I was looking for a laser that can "shoot" a ground target from orbit.

A 20MW laser can probably cleanly slice through steel. Maybe more.

yeah the power rating is absurd. a 10 watt laset can melt plastics and burn human skin

Seriously have to question the power consumption. A 500 miliWatt laser can reach the moon IRL. The most powerful laser someone can own is a 5 Watt laser. Telescope lasers are 22 Watts. A 20 MW laser (20,000,000 Watts or 20,000,000,000 mW) is going to do massive damage to anything IRL.

It works for me.... Unsubscribe, resubscribe; if that doesnt work, please provide the log in %AppData%/Roaming/SpaceEngineers/Storage/2060182062.sbm_WeaponThread/ in the Crashes/Problems Discussion

It is installed, I got a few other WeaponCore mods in that world.

Please make sure that you have WeaponCore subscribed and added to your world as well

Doesn't work for me - No beam there. And I guess the terminal souldn't offer the functionality of a conveyor sorter?

was thinking something like this for when you were docking.
a laser pointed from one dockingport to another. so when you looked from cameras or just viewing it you had a easier reference point for moving into place.

Ideally it'd have a falloff.. Light continues on 'infinitely', just disperses, so, 35km is 'fine' just that it should be a faded 35km. idk... the use case I had for this had a long beam length. I'll see about making some additional variants maybe, but its not high on my priority list atm as I just finished a major release of Hazard Mechanics

Honestly, 35km is rather extreme, even for something like a targeting laser. And as a planetary beacon is probably has the length of the moon's diameter or something. THis is the only thing that makes it awkward to use. Could this be toned down a bit, like maybe 10 or 5 km? Weaponcore weapons all have specificly fitting ranges set if I am not mistaken, I am sure that could be done for this laser as well, that would really be great!

It is not adjustable, I'm not sure thats anything WC could do

Is beam length adjustable trying to design a ship around the idea of a self contained photon thruster so a beam of light that is adjustable would be epic to display photon pressure.

You can make one yourself if you want that. WeaponCore is worth using

Could we get a version that does not need weaponcore?

Yes, there is a small block version, and same range

Can someone please say if this has a small block too and whether the range is the same?

gps marker would be so cool

Can you make this output a GPS marker for a target that is pointed at for a period of time?
Like takes 5 seconds of pointing to return a GPS marker of the Targed Voxel or Grid?
