81Denton b6d03a9e84 Adds three new .38 ammo types (#41155)
cl Denton
add: Added three new .38 ammo types. TRAC bullets, which embed a tracking implant inside the target's body. The implant only lasts for five minutes and doesn't work as a teleport beacon. Hot Shot bullets set targets on fire; Iceblox bullets drastically lower the target's body temperature. They are available after researching the Subdermal Implants node (TRAC) or Exotic Ammunition node (Hot Shot/Iceblox).
tweak: Renamed the Technological Shells research node to Exotic Ammunition.
code: The "lifespan_postmortem" var now determines how long tracking implants work after death.
/cl

Flavor aside, the detective's revolver is little more than a weak Stechkin. I figured that some ammo variety might make it more fun to use:

    TRAC: Only deals 10 damage, but implants a tracking implant once it hits someone. Security can then track the perp with a bluespace locator. It will delete itself after 5 minutes and doesn't work as a teleport beacon.
    Hot Shot: 20 damage and hits the target with 6 fire stacks.
    Iceblox: 20 damage, lowers the target's body temp similar to the temp gun.

Let me know if you think that Hot Shot/Iceblox are too strong - they won't be available early during most rounds because they're gated behind the tech shells node and require plasma to print.
