Even the bikini zone?

...that actually brings up an interesting question. What gender IS Cuthukan anyways?

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Hermaphrodite I think. Four men and two women were absorbed

The minds are 3:1 male:female, and the bodies absorbed were 2:1 male:female. So probably a considerably androgynous big dude, maybe with some hermaphrodite features, not that those are relevant.

I'll be using my 18 tokens to buy the following (already put them in the wiki, just writing it here in case there are objections):
  • And a heavy gauss cannon grav shell round (4 tokens) for use as a bomb, grenade or a last resort suicide weapon against heavily armoured targets.

If I don't end up using the g-shell, it will be used in combination with the Heavy Gauss Cannon (once I buy it) to kill heavily armoured targets.

Now all I need is the tokens to buy a Heavy Gauss Cannon and I'm set. Doing that because I want to have a kinetic weapon, because I'm full of energy/spacemagic weapons right now.
If only you would let us Heph-tinkers give a small word of advice... don't. Really.
We've long been stuck with HGC as far too inefficient piece of deathtube; if one wants straight kinetic/piercing damage, PSL shards are better. As a delivery method for various payloads, the soon-to-be-updated Kugelblitz should be better.
Just save up for a full PSL launcher and do yourself a favor. And if you really want a bomb, either pick a nuke or ask the AM to cook you up something nice - even a bomb identical to the grav-shell yet designed as a bomb would actually be better; at least, it could be remotely detonated or set to timer, if anything. HGC is no Brisant, there was no compatibility or general use in mind with the shells design.
(And yes, upscaled Brisant is one of the things I'd like to play with sometime later. If it still has its own niche by that time, of course.)

...that actually brings up an interesting question. What gender IS Cuthukan anyways?
Why, kre-gendered, of course. Why would you even ask?

Charisma. Because you know you want it shiny and cool.
And yes, apparently, Charisma is a physical attribute nowadays, see: Gestalt Incident.

By that logic, so's intuition. Cthunkan doesn't count, because the entity uses the highest stats and the individual skills.
Actually, I think it is indeed a good reason for Intu being a 'physical stat' of a sort. Piecewise/Steve might tell us humans are not psychic all he wants, but surely we know better.
It's kind of difficult to grok, I agree, but perhaps this should be seen as some sort of perception or even limited precognition. It's not something you 'learn' to do, like shooting deathtubes or bending physics to your will; rather, it's something 'how' you do the basic living, and maybe also small bit grounded in your physical existence - remember, Bluesmokes are just chemical vapors, yet they amplify your intuition somehow (and no, I don't think there's any 'space magic' at work - just plain, ER-ordinary-but-bizarre-to-us physiology at work. Maybe we also have something like that, but write off as luck or superstition.

Now, of course, there is a much better argument that makes me surrender unconditionally. And that is, by the same logic,  Fate being a physical stat. That I cannot explain.  :P

The Kugelblitz will be updated once the council gets back to me with the answer to my question :P. Hey RC, any news on that front?

Is there a gun with a shell that can rip a target apart by gravitic distortions and crush them into a cube of metal? That can destroy an Avatar without a giant nuclear explosion?
Is there have a gun with a giant AP bullet that can smash through walls and armour and then explode?
Is there have a gun with a bullet that can explode in a giant fireball of chemical death or into a giant rain of deadly shrapnel or into a giant nuke?
Is there have a gun that can be used to fire in a straight line like a rifle but also in the air with a parabolic trajectory like a mortar?

If you can bring me a gun that can do all that and that is not a LESHO (because obviously I would like a LESHO but that thing and its rounds are too frigging expensive. Maybe if I do very well next mission...) then I would consider buying that instead of a Gauss Cannon. (Although I admit, my personal opinion is that some of the more mundane Gauss Cannon rounds could stand to become a bit cheaper, so that I'm not limited to buying shells one at a time.)

I value versatility and the Gauss Cannon embodies that in a heavy kinetic weapon, same as the Rainbow Cannon is the ultimate in a versatile heavy energy weapon.

As you wish; I sincerely tried to help you there. Yes, I think Kugelblitz (at least, in the original write-up) would have been more up your valley, especially since its missiles are guided, IIRC, unlike strictly ballistic projectiles of HGC. Really, the only thing HGC would excel at is delivering kin-amp sandwich shells. But yes, at the moment, HGC is the top of the line (reasonably affordable) kinetic weapon/delivery platform for varied shell payloads. And finally, I wouldn't compare it to your Rainbow Cannon: that thing is a piece of art. It's on the level of a frickin' Fission Instigator, if you ask me. :)

Yeah, I understand, I just feel that at least right now, the Gauss cannon or LESHO are my best choices in terms of heavy and versatile kinetic weapons. Because a rocket launcher is more of a long range rocket propelled grenade grenade and less of a kinetic weapon in my view.

I'd still like to make if not the rainbow cannon, then a lesser version of it available to others as something similar in versatility to the Gauss cannon or lesho but for energy weapons. But that would require me to spend at least one mission, if not more, on Hephaestus for something that could possibly not work. And now that things are more active there, I don't see much I could do. Being on missions would be much more fun. Unless me and others are allowed to go in a Hephaestus mission after the research to the rainbow cannon is done, maybe go and salvage that Titan transport.
