So, I just watched a decent c-saber rampage and was chatting with folks about the weapon some (I had exploded much earlier due to the AI). To differentiate it somewhat from a nastier, pocketable katana lets look at changing the c-saber up some.
First change:
Once you turn it on, it stays on until it runs out of its (brand new) battery. You've got a timer and will be noticeable during this period and need to replace the power cell afterwards. If you use a plasma-filled power cell its insta-gib time.
Second change:
During initial activation have it ramp up in power. Within the first few seconds it ramps up more and more burn and stun and after that it is at full power.
Third change:
Make it just a little bit nastier to make up for the other changes - probably a little more direct damage. After the first hit most people are already doomed so let the attacker finish them off quicker to do more while his sword timer is running.
