Recently, I preordered Starbound, and also got a limited version that allows me to create my own weapon.

Now, I've had the idea for one for a while now, but since I have no current way to sketch one out, I decided to do a sprite example for appearances instead. Now then, I'll post what I have (so far). Basically, I'm looking for any ideas you guys have or could think of. You don't need to help me with this, and it's partially for feedback.

The sprites in Starbound are 2D, so it should be fairly simple.

Weapon concept is one that fires lightning. Few examples of my ideas:

1: short, widened rails that fire bursts of spreading bolts, at a short range, but wide spray. (current sprite is intended to be this one)

2: Tesla-coil on the barrel allows for continuous use

3: Long rails allow for much more accurate but far smaller shots

4: Weapon fires more like a cannon, with a ball that emits static energy that damages as long as enemies remain near it

Color schemes I've thought of using are the current white/light blue, and black/gold/light blue.

EDIT: New name, second appearance (may or may not be very good)
