secgun-- three types of rounds. lethal, lessthanlethal, flash. lethal
is midbullet2. ltl is weakbullet. flash is 5 brute and does not stun,
but it makes people who get hit by it and people within two tiles of the
tile hit get eyeflashed. the eyeflash is minor unless you score a
direct hit, but still disorienting i guess.
radiation fix: you once again pass out when you get completely
irradiated. the radiation burns damage and cloneloss that very rarely
happens with extremely heavy radiation poisoning was given a significant
buff. as in you'll actually notice it now. you'll notice it a lot.
made it so vamps don't have to breathe. intend to do some fixes.
intend to maybe give vamps a maybe 'pretend to be alive' verb that turns
their heart on and off. maybe. or maybe they'll just lose their
heartbeat. nobreathing is a first step maybe
mutagen fix. no more telekinetic pink braces.
bumped accuracy up a bit.
Reloadable lasers plus upgrade thing stuff. Tested, works. Not added
to game yet. Not twohanded yet-- maybe we should leave it onehanded?
Numbers for the laser are still up in the air. It's pretty neat. You
can load it with different types of lasers and stuff.
Alcohol and thermite now flammable. Laser pointers added! Flash now
comes in delicious incendiary flavor. Robot fire overlay bug fixed-ish.
Being lit on fire turns off a borg's lights but the fire still shows.
I'll take it. Shield gens actually useable by the people they were
meant for.
Vox no longer die to death as soon as they inhale any O2. It's still
painful, but not as painful.
Defib added. After someone dies of suffocation, you have five minutes
to give them the zap. Works better on nakeds. Works poorly on clothed
and armoreds.
Detective revolver nerf. Because die.
Diseased touch costs 200 blood now. unlocks at 200.
Many vamp abilities increased in cooldown.
Screech shatters windows in a wider range. Cost bumped to 90. Cooldown
doubled.
Vampjaunt cost bumped slightly.
Hypnotize cooldown cut in half.
With the addition of firecode, vamp shadowstep and jaunt now extinguish
your being on fire. More things that light vamps on fire will be added
soon. Expecting nerfs from now on to be vamp counters instead of
ability nerfs.
Tweaks burstfire. Rapid three-shots, and then delay as opposed to rapid
three-fire shots and then more rapid three fire shots.
Added rapidlaser, added to R&D. Barely higher damage output/time than
normal laser. I timed it.
Added Lawgiver, added to R&D. Heavy research reqs. Must decon a
decloner orplasmapistol to unlock it, so idiots won't be discovering it
as easily as you think. Lawgiver hi-ex does average 30 damage on
explosion with low chance to KO. Shot myself and mobs a ton of times.
Unconsciousness is very rare. Pretty weak but very cool. Might
actually buff it, undecided.
Adds incendiary rounds.
Nerfs mental focus. It blasted you by 10-- that's enough to send you
literally offscreen. Downed to 5.
Nerfed chemsprayer more. It's now a huge item, w_class 5. Cannot be
backpacked. Cannot be bluespace backpacked. Totally forgot about
defibs. Will mess with later probably.
Stun revolver now fires electrode/high, like all other tasers.
Temperature gun revamped. Utility weapon. Gives people major slowdown
and some burns. Dangerous against civilians, but honestly less than
someone with a laser. Great utility. Intended for xenobio.
Energy crossbow changed to stun in two instead of stun in three. Pretty
powerful now.
Decloner buildable. Does 40 cloneloss, 40 radiation.
Chemsprayer- cranked up research levels required bigtime. Now needs
plasmas to build.
Mech teleporter enabled because why not.
Diamond pickaxe r&d design commented out.
Sprite added for battery-less baton. Adding code is trickier and I'm
too lazy right now, so just the sprite is in.
RIGHT.
Adds in Energy Pistols
Adds in Rifles as a new group of things, with the limitations described.
Adds in sprites for the on_back slots.
Adds the canesword + sprites.
Adds the syndicate masquarade boxes.
Wizard staff is currently a 20-damage laser that can do shrapnels and embeds and does a little knockback. This bumps it up to be on-par with a laser, plus the shrapnel and knockback. It is, of course, and always will be one of the weakest choices a wizard can make. Because you could just teleport into the armoury and steal their laser, or steal the captain's laser instead of wasting a precious spell-slot. But at least it's not a joke now.
Bumps radiation up to 40. Once rads go >100, it stuns them. Soo. Land three to stun, land 5 to kill. Laser is land three to kill. This shoots fast, but its range ensures that it'll be risky / near worthless at range against an armed opponent. It's really only good against someone you can get the drop on. Which I like. Maybe it should be land 4 to stun, land 5 to kill, though. For that, dial irradiate down to 30. Thoughts please.
Bumps laser cannon damage back up to double a laser. Anything between 51-99 basically has the same function anyway, and bigger numbers are just nicer. Pulse still crits in two and can tear through walls, so I don't think it's a problem. And both are outdone by the sniper rifle, because stuns, crits in two, effortlessly orderable from cargo at round-start. I like to think cannons are meant for use against xenos, rogue mechs, wizards, etc and not usually normal humans. -Duck
