Milno stares at the TV. Such idiots. Both sides, that is. He didn't believe in gods because if they really existed, they in their infinite mercy would have performed euthanasia on the human race. And on any alien race like the humankind, for that matter.
Keep watching the idiocy.
The broadcast shows several minutes of footage of what what looks like a forest of extreme highrises, an endless city of blazing neon, chrome, glass, steel and concrete, all beneath the shadow of dozens of hovering spaceships. It cuts to a similar city, though this one much older and heavily damaged; large sections are nothing but glass frosted craters, endless fires, dark piles of flesh and ruin, with the odd skyscraper keeping a silent vigil, a black monolith piercing red skies.
Practice attempting to dodge while wearing each option.
All options seem to increase your capacity to dodge around, though the rockets only let you dodge forward. The braces, with their increased jumping capacity and ability to cushion a fall let you both run and leap backwards with ease, while the boots let you move quickly, but jumping is difficult without very hard ground.
(( Yes, like a double-barreled shotgun. Yes, mostly mutually exclusive - but can't the power output be split, like, e.g. 3 charging circuits for the gauss part, one power generator and whatever the capacitor bank of the charging circuit amounts to for the pulse part? And, judging from what you said before (got revised?), it can be re-configured or just switched to another pre-configured split.
As for reducing the power - is it really needed? I mean, in the pulse rifle generators work parallel and the power output is just enough, isn't it? The question here, however, is how big the 'charging circuit' capacitor banks are if compared to the ones I used on the pulse rifle. Probably smaller, due to the fact charging circuit capacitor bank with the power generator amount to the same 1 token as the pulse rifle capacitor bank stands alone for. ))
Try adding another magazine slot to the gauss part of the chimaera gun, with the possible option of not attaching the magazine and feeding the gun manually by single shots through it. Also add a fire selector to choose which magazine to feed the gun from.
Strip the high energy projector of its power generator and estimate this variant's weight and price. Try using the cutting laser battery to power it.
Sip more tea.
Splendid!
Well, you talked about stripping the capacitors from the laser rifle, which is what lets the system work, by regulating the power and stopping it from overloading the system. You can split the power up sure, you can even switch it around dynamically if you wire it up to do so. I just don't think you said anything about the way you want to split it. I may not be braining it correctly though.
You can create a secondary load slot that accepts both magazines and single rounds, but it's gonna need a oneway door thing, like on a shotgun, to keep the rounds from falling out when you're loading manually. And that might be a bit tricky since such a thing would stop a magazine from loading normally. I guess you can rig up some sort of optional bolt action thing where you leave it open for magazines and then open and close it manually for single rounds, though that will probably be kinda slow. The fire selector would be easy enough though.
The power generator is...I think like 4 -5 torches. It would add a +3 to the weight requirements of a weapon.
The Cutting laser's battery won't really work with the Energy projector as it is, for some reason.
Search through the database for any kind of "soft" armor, like the olden day's Kevlar. select one that seems to be balanced between cost and effectiveness, and replace the synth-flesh layer of the shield with it, increasing that layer to 50mm at the same time.
Ok, heres some "cloth" armor for you.
-Civic Defender's longcoat
-Shade Cloak
-Protectorate Suit
-Shadow walker cloak
-High Guard Armor
-Walking Bastion
-Arbiter Cloak
((Making your search quicker. The flexible armor type comprises those coats, cloaks and shenanigans. Try using their material, they seem to be good at soaking ballistic damage.))
((Just got access again, kinda lost track a bit of what's going on, anyone care to fill me in?))
Replace the synth-flesh layer of the shield with the same soft armor used in the Civic Defender's longcoat, increasing that layer to 50mm at the same time.
Perform the same 3-round test, Cyber-tentacle, gauss rifle, and laser rifle. This time, not resetting between tests, to test how it holds up to repeated abuse.
The cyber-tentacle cuts through a few layers of the 50mm cloth shield, but doesn't make it too far. The Gauss rifle shot causes a few layers to shatter and fall away, but doesn't make it through. The laser, on the other hand, cuts straight through the cloth.
