why is tremulous called tremulous and what do the weapons mean

[Revan]

The Telsa coil is accurate (as can be), Lasgun is an old sifi term for laser gun

Revan, whats your take on the mass driver?

Perhaps at S4 humans get a rotating electrode to place on top of their teslas:

isn't that an image of a car surrounded by plasma? the car is magnetized and the electrode is creating plasma, so he has to turn off the electrode to get out of the car, not a very good s4 idea

No, the tesla coil on the car has a single rotating electrode. There's actually only a few sparks at a time, but the long exposure gives the illusion that the car has a plasma shield.

lol i assume that's why there's sunlight on the barn when its nighttime?

Though there is a distinction the mass driver is essentially a coilgun: magnets in a line forming a barrel (or outside the barrel)
So the md name is fairly accurate but there is a chance that it is actually a railgun, which is two conductive rails separated with the projectile placed between them, it is then accelerated by the Lorentz force at incredible speeds

This I would like to see in trem: stilletto beam
EPIC!

[Amtie]

Prolong the length of that thing being turned on and functional and plasma shields would become a reality! Now all we need is starships with fat beamcannons, bombed out planets, infested abandoned starbases, and an intergalactic war between humanity and some bloodthirsty alien space-faring race from some random backwater planet.

Notice how the far rear window frame is brightly lit. The light source is behind the car.
