Anybody got any spare CON weapons I could borrow? Just in case I need to leave Gilgamesh?

Black market prototypes! Hoo yeah.

It might be good to have player names on the list as well as character names, to make PMing easier.
Yeah, I think that would be good to happen everywhere on the wiki. I had the player names next to the character names in the Mission 14 page before someone edited it because I sometimes forgot how the character was named.

That was probably me. I prefer links to the character page rather than the player name, since the character page has the player name. We can fix that, at least for the player market and for sign-up lists. I'd prefer to leave the Mission pages clean.
Heck, if I wanted to be clever, I could probably add a contact column to the market that would link to a PM on the forum.
I believe it is better for the wiki to be useful than clean. It is meant to be used, not to look good.

And considering I sometimes forget the player names, I find it more useful to have player names besides character names in mission lists, so that if you want to check who is who, what equipment and bonuses they have, etc. or if you want to know if the guy talking is on your team, you can do it with a quick glance, without having to go through links or searching.

Because yes, if you know the character name, you can learn the player name with a click. But if you know the player name, you have to search the player name (or go to the character index page) find the correct character and then click on it. And that takes a lot more than simply clicking a name.

Besides, I don't think having the player name in parenthesis near the character name in mission lists like I had it looks that bad.

Fair enough. Feel free to modify it for in progress missions. I'll probably still clean it out after the missions are over, when it is less relevant.

@People talking on the main ER thread: if you have anything else to add, it'd probably be better if you did so here.

What, you mean besides the prototypes being given out for free with the sole requirement of a performance report?

So, any of you fleshtechy type of people want a medical droid? Only 4 tokens and brand new! I'll update the player market when I have access to my computer.

I thought those would be given to newbies or someone who is likely to use them and is more likely to need them. I was thinking more of an emergency sidearm like the one they give to Fighter Pilots. A civilian gauss rifle or pistol, something for emergencies. Or a laser or gauss rifle, if somebody has a higher quality weapon.

You can borrow my laser rifle, can't take it on the spec-ops mission anyways.

We have more prototypes than needy newbies, it seems. So far I've seen maybe two claimed. Out of nine.

It may just be a lack of newbies with CON specialization.

If nobody wants them, then I'll grab a small advanced laser rifle, if only because it can be used non-lethaly to blind people or cause pain with microwaves. If nobody grabs one of the big ones, then I'll take one of them too, to replace my mining laser for the mission.

Otherwise, I'll just borrow renegadelobster's laser rifle.

If one of you techies wanna modify a mithril needle into a punchy-glove you know who would appreciate that? I would! Hahaha, could be fun punching a heavily-armored enemy. Over and over again.

((OOC thread, please.))
Wait, so what's "Einsteinian Roulette" for? I see the mission thread, and the on-ship thread.. So what's that one for?
