Initial release
TL;DR
Makes plasma sniper barrels need charging to deal higher damage (no visual indicator)
Adds new plasma long barrels
(I waited a bit longer just to be safe. You'll need 3 seconds to do full damage.)
Balancing
Sniper barrels' max damage has increased to compensate for the charge time and small ammo cap, making uncharged instant fires (-50%) deal a little less damage than a standard short barrel.
Long barrels have the same stat changes as their laser counterparts. Better damage, range, and sighted accuracy with worse hip fire accuracy.
Improved short barrels do slightly more damage to make it stronger than a standard long barrel.
Classic Long Barrels You can choose to use Better Plasma Barrels' focus barrel model for long barrels. If you just want the model, install said mod, choose the focused barrel-only option then simply delete/disable the esp file. See below for using both my mod and BPB
Better Plasma Barrels: Minor conflict. Only later placed mod's barrels will spawn in the game world. But all are craftable and usable. Also, overwrite if you grab the Classic Holstered Weapons patch too.
