There's a ton of damage scaling on weapons like the sniper, to avoid the huge damage capabilities. When fully upgraded, I believe the R-700 rockets to 4900 a shot, but in PvP, it's obviously scaled to prevent super kills.
There's some belief that low-levelled armours can take a disproportionate amount of abuse given their relative HP levels to the stronger armours in PvE mode. Otherwise, they really should be dying as soon as an enemy player even looks at the newbie with a Nova: high level armours can only survive a few shots from that gun, and I'm pretty sure weaker armours can take more than one hit from the Nova despite having less than a tenth of the HP of the Phoenix or the Cygni.
Railguns are sort of a different matter: if they're knocking off half the health of an armour with 55,000 HP, then even with the HP/damage scaling that lower armoured players get, I don't think they'd survive a blast from a Level 8 Railgun. Consider that I *think* weaker armours can survive a couple of shots of the Nova: they still won't have enough HP to live very long, but their HP has been scaled enough such that they won't die in *one* projectile, but maybe 2-5, or something. That's still not going to be enough to let them survive damage enough to wipe out half of a high-levelled armour's HP >.>
An author, or otherwise someone who has published written works on any number of potential fields? You could have a philosopher, a journalist, a social commentator...the list is endless, really :/ ...something tells me that's not what you meant by "what's that?", though... what's the subject matter, Enjoo?
If you're allowed fiction, that may be quite an awesome assignment indeed JK Rowling for Harry Potter! Or you could always try Plato for philosophy...but I think he'd probably do your head in...
Speaking of research essays, I finished one on the 1960s beatniks recently, do u have any idea how hard it is to do an essay on something, that has little to no reliable information?
In fact do a report on Allen Ginsberg, one of his poems got an obscenity trial, make it somewhat interesting for school.
