* Balance: Removes anti-drop implants for nukies (#78275) ## About The Pull Request Removes anti-drop implants being available in nukie implants. Also rebalances the cybernetic implants bundle to cost 20 TC (value of 24 TC) since anti-drop has been removed from it. ## Why It's Good For The Game This is one of the rare few nerf PRs where I was not the one who got KILLED by the broken OP shit but rather the one using it. I recently played a nukie round (after hearing that anti-drop had been added) where I took modsuit shield, dsword, and anti-drop. I got separated from my team and then proceeded to solo murderbone half the fucking station, resist MULTIPLE disarms that would have otherwise been successful, get the disk alone, and nuke. I only had to stop to heal _once_ and honestly I probably would have been fine if I didn't. Anti-drop dsword is _insanely_ powerful. Shielded dsword nukies were already strong enough but were at least somewhat balanced insofar as there were several ways you could still reliably disarm them and therefore open them up to more attacks. But now (after https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/77330 which added the anti-drop implants to nukie uplink) you can have shielded anti-drop dsword nukies. Add stims and some explosives to deal with any static fortifications the crew might make (like firelock crush relays), and with a semi-robust player you essentially have a murderbone machine who can't be killed by any regularly accessible crew counters short of point blank suicide bombing. We should not have a default nukie loadout that can only be reliably, regularly countered by a fucking bomb. Especially since the crew's main easily accessible ballistic is now being nerfed as well. (https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78235) EDIT: I'd also like to point out that we already don't allow hulks to use dswords for many of the same reasons. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: removed anti-drop implants from the nuclear operative uplink balance: removed anti-drop implant from the nukie implants bundle and changed its cost to 20 TC /🆑 * Balance: Removes anti-drop implants for nukies --------- Co-authored-by: JupiterJaeden <48777952+JupiterJaeden@users.noreply.github.com>
