I really like this I play TTW and in PN their was a Stealth Enclave Energy Pistol and it was the only weapon in the game that was silent and a Energy weapon.
I Do not recommend PN as it is VERY outdated and buggy and shit. But Thank you so much for making this.... I have a few ideas to add on to it.
One Let spread some of them out.............maybe put them by dead bodies in Chinese Officer Uniforms, to show these were held by Chinese Ghouls....Also maybe add a few to the Sliver Rush.
And for TTW Maybe add some to a few select Vendors and Would be nice if we could even get some kind of old school Easter Egg tied to these :D.
The Silver Rush already sells them, I didn't add any into the storefront physically because I wanted to avoid touching too many cells to ensure mod compatibility. Same goes for adding Chinese officer corpses with them, the more I add into the world like that the more I risk conflicting with a mod like Enhanced New Vegas Ruins or something. I do want to add them to the leveled lists for a couple more enemies, the Lobotomites in particular, but I just haven't gotten around to it.
As for TTW, I don't currently have TTW installed on my modlist and installing it would be a pretty big thing to tackle since many of my mods are directly incompatible with it. I plan on eventually doing a TTW run once my current New Vegas playthrough is finished, so once I do that I'll probably come back to this and add it to the FO3 worldspace as well.
I really like the design of this, absolutely a breath of fresh air for energy weapon mods! Feels like it seamlessly fits in with the aesthetic and balance of the other weapons in game, while doing something new. I could see a whole new variety of Chinese weaponry, maybe a laser rifle version of this would look like the design was based off a Chinese rocket for the barrel with a skeletal stock and grip, would also be cool to see a circular monocle type scope to further contrast with the very rectangular design of the existing US laser weapon designs. Also I do have a change I'd suggest, why not make the laser beam it shoots blue? It would further differentiate the Chinese laser weaponry as having been developed in a much different way, the only laser weapon that would be similar would be the experimental LAER from Big Mountain and in lore remember that the think-tank scientists had ties and connections with the US Army through which they received Chinese detainees and technologies like the Chinese Stealth Armor which they themselves used to developed the Advanced Stealth Suit Mk II which is superior to the original Chinese one. So I could easily see this laser pistol and or maybe in the future a rifle or another energy weapon that uses blue laser beams as a basis to having the LAER be developed at Big Mountain taking the original technology and wildly improving it. I think it makes sense, what do you think? Finally if you like my idea and do end up doing it, I'd recommend removing it from the level-list of the fiends and instead giving it to the Lobotomites at Big Mountain. I know the weapon is a relatively weak one more suited for the early game but it being rarer and more outta the way to find makes more sense, I'm not saying it should completely be removed from the Mojave but maybe adjusted to be a rare spawn or only certain weapon vendors would have it in stock occasionally like the Van Graffs, Hidden Valley and maybe Mister Holdout or the Gun Runners very occasionally, besides that I think a good static placement for it in the Mojave would be at the Hoover Dam in that shipment crate with the Chinese Stealth Suits.
I like the idea of making the beam blue! Might make that an optional patch.
I almost did put the gun in the shipment crates with the stealth suits actually, but I decided against it because the notes that reference the suits specifically call out that those two suits were the only things stashed. It would be a little dissonant to have the suits, PLUS a laser gun or two.
I'm probably gonna keep this weapon in the fiend's leveled list, but I might make an update at some point to give it to lobotomites and Mr. Holdout as well.
As for more Chinese energy weaponry, if I do another one, it'll likely be an energy analogue to the .22 SMG, keeping with the theme. Might also do a low damage stealth sniper, similar to the fully modded varmint rifle.
I imagine since China during the time of the Great War did not have the level of technological superiority that the USA did, and since they used Cover-Ops instead of 40K Imperial Guardsmen style warfare like how the US did, if they were to use laser technology, it would be something compact and convinent like this, which is a great contrast to the bulky designs of the Wattz 1000 and the AEP7 PDW.
I like how this also kind of fits the theme of Chinese equipment mostly being sleeker in design that American gear in Fallout. Like the Chinese have the stealth armor instead of Power Armor or Mauser style pistols instead of the bulky N99 pistols. This baby is a very nice, sleek contrast to the AEP7's bulk.
I'm happy with how it turned out! I've only just started learning blender over the past couple weeks, so I'm happy to see I was generally able to capture the vision :)

EDIT: Leveled lists updated in 1.1 patch

Thanks for the feedback!
EDIT: made the blue patch!
