A health-absorbing laser?

Here's the idea that would be nice to have, a laser beam that slowly diminishes the enemy's strength while replenishing your own. Obviously, that would require a nanomatrix and a laser weapon of some kind. Would there be a way to set up the nanomatrix to only work while the weapon is firing?

This is not possible at all to my knowledge. Sorry. Would be a nice idea, but it's not one that's possible to do.

Actually, I think it might be possible to rig something along those lines. A while back Starstruck did something that when a weapon fired, a platform far-off screen (but still part of the ship) would jump to a visible position. If you would attach a nanomatrix to said platform and do some timing and such with damage and health regen, you should have something along the lines of what your saying. The actual rigging of this would be pretty simple. Of course, no health would be regenerated when the ship has full health.
Anyone get what I'm saying?

That seems like a really janky way to do things, but I guess it could work.

You are infinitely correct, sir. I took the liberty of constructing such a device. It took far too long, as I forgot most of how to work triggers >.<
Anyhow, here it is. I alpha'd the the nanomatrix platform far to the left, but it works pretty well.

Hm. Opening this just takes me to the shipmaker with nothing opened.

I put a download of an example for it I made.
