I was thinking of a new rule for plasma if it gets hot it will just not being able to fire for a turn

You probably want the proposed rules forum. I've asked a mod to move your thread.

Thank you for telling me

I don't know. Gets hot as is is pretty fluffy. These are weapons that are EXTREMELY volatile, and when they go Nova they tend to do so in a painful fashion. I like it as is

I like the rules for plasma, the main issue these days is that in so many context Grav is just better and this is from a marine player. That said I do think have extending Gets Hot to Vehicles was a bad rules decision.

Do you think it would work on vehicles?

The old rules for Gets Hot, stated that the weapon needed a turn to cool down , or it would become unstable and may explode.

Therefore the weapon was limited to when it could fire making this a tactical choice of when to shoot.

The old rules said vehicles could transport the needed cooling mechanisms, so they were not effected by Gets Hot rule.
