Bubble Blower

Armory » Ship Gear » Exotic Weapons » Bubble Blower

The bubble blower is a gun. It blows little bubbles. The bubbles are fields maintained by nanotech. The bubbles will latch onto anything they hit. The bubbles can also be pre-programmed to redesign the molecular structure of whatever they land on, letting you change armor into soap. The bubbles are also very hard to aim, because you move them with your mind. Sometimes the bubbles miss. Sometimes the bubbles bounce. Sometimes the bubbles hit your ship. For your sake, let's hope the bubbles don't.

Creds: 3000

Ammo: Lots of bubbles - enough bubbles for ten shots. Extra bubble magazines are 2000 creds each, each containing enough bubbles for ten shots of bubbles

Requirements: One weapon mount

Rolls: Attacker's PSI Unit and Exotic vs defender's Engines and Durability

Additional Details

Bubbles do not reach target immediately
Bubbles can be redirected and controlled
Bubbles can be popped with skilled, spread fire
Bubbles are pre-programmed during launch to redesign molecular structures
Bubbles are drained of power, and "pop" on activation
Bubbles are prototypical and may glitch out, making them bounce backwards
Bubbles may come and chase you instead
Bubbles may cause the word "bubbles" to lose any meaning for you after extended use
Maximum of 2km before accuracy/timing falloff.
Needs Line of Sight, or for the target to be immobile.
Bubbles are about 0.33m wide. Upon the bubble core reaching the target surface, they essentially internally and externally corrode metallic molecular structures by 50% through the use of "fuzzy teleportation". In practice, this makes further weapon fire cleave through it like soap. It's also a guaranteed kill for computers.
