I think he means the plasma lance he's making. You should be able to use it with a synthflesh body and get a syntharm bonus for it.
Also, if you have a synthflesh body, then you don't need to worry about Con, since syntharms give you a +1.

[Pancaek]

Actually, I asked pw and got to exchange the con bonus from the synth arms to uncon when I bought it.

[Parisbre56]

Oh. I thought they already gave you a bonus for melee weapons. Or did you get a bonus for all uncon rolls, including manipulators, like some sort of ultra fast typing hands?

As far as I know, just a bonus to melee uncon. I don't think synth arms give you a melee bonus by default though.

those are both pretty much what i want… but i only have 4 tokens to spend on both gun and scope ><.

unless i forego the handlaser or sandcoat….

who got the sniper conversion kits? i haven't noticed any sniper rifles other than the civilian ones i think were picked up during missions.

Handlaser really doesn't have much firepower, you could probably just forgo that and keep the sandcoat?

Trading it with heph sounds interesting, but I can't really think of anything they've got to trade me for. Of course, if they could reverse engineer it, we could basically start zapping troops straight into UWM positions, so long as we've got line of sight.

Ohhh, that'd be so yummy! It would finally solve the problem with space boarding action - just hopefully it being scalable. And then it would probably be a real intelligence target for the UWM - as long as we manage not to let it fall in their hands, mass boarding our own ships and space installations is a much more difficult and dangerous project...
I am not a Hephaestian, but, were I one and were it allowed by Piecewise to attempt reverse-engineering it, I'd gladly ship off something nice for you in return - or just a Nyartifact coupon, for a straight exchange.
*I believe that researching and reverse-engineering explored Nyartifacts is allowed, or at least was allowed for certain artifacts (like the Beat-All Tek Ultraregen). I think it is exploring (aka figuring out the effects and the purpose) the Nyartifacts that has been strictly forbidden by Piecewise. Anyway, here is hoping it is decided on case-by-case basis and that this artifact is allowed to be researched into.

Using science crews on them is forbidden, not researching them.

Also, am I the only one thinking that that thing could be incredibly useful simply because it appears to conserve energy? That is to say, it didn't change Pan's velocity, only his position. His orbital velocity on the Sword being different than the orbital velocity of whatever bit of junk he aimed at, and, well, "Unfortunately you seem to have a bit of kinetic energy so you immediately knock into the debris and go sailing off the chunk of hall, spiraling out into open space.".

Imagine if the effect can be replicated... and put into use in the shells of massive cannons like the Sword's.

Puffer, I'd be interested to hear your theory. And by simple mathematical principle regarding the shapes, I meant very early elementary/primary school level. What is one of the first things one is taught about numbers, other than simple order?

(Oh, and Nik - I asked for the information as payment for doing space accountancy, which lay uncompleted for a while at the loss of a flash drive with the data on it and now PW just uses the wiki. I can still buy Nyartefacts, though, should I wish. As for it being boring and bleak, I still get to watch you guys fumble about for the answers, and maybe give a prod in the right direction on occasion.)

Yeah, don't waste your money on a Hand Laser. You could borrow tokens from someone, if you're a few short. Hasala's got way more than he needs right now, for example, and he wouldn't mind lending a few to teammates (who aren't Lerman, anyway ).

[yobbo]

I figure the handlaser might be good for utility? In case i need to melt my way out of a snowdrift, or into a safety-deposit box or something. Without a monorazor or kinetic amp i'll have pretty much zilch for miscellaneous obstacle-removal.

I might take you up on borrowing a token, if handlaser-for-utility doesn't sound like a silly idea.

[Beirus]

@Pancaek: Maybe you could do an exchange with Heph and trade the teleport gun for that amp/implant thing Simus got. Nothing could go wrong with sticking untested tech in your head, right?

If that's what you want it for, you could get a Cutting Torch instead. 3 tokens and uses Auxiliary, but you get 10 minutes of cutting time, instead of 50 seconds. Up to you. They're not gonna be spent for a while yet if they stay in Hasala's pocket, since I'm going for a decompensator.

If this thing is scalable (up to, say, boarding pods, ships, or Hammer cannon projectiles) I'd be extremely interested in it as well, and would be fully prepared to back the project as much as needed. Hmm. If Hep has nothing to trade to Pan, then I think I'll buy it off of him with tokens from the pool and ship it off to Hep for analysis. Gonna try to keep pool funded by selling prototypes from it once they're approved.

Indeed, and this was purely from game perspective, to prevent very exotic nyartifacts from being totally explaned by them.

@Sniper rifle: There was the sniper laser rifle http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/wiki/Thomas_Harrison


But it wasn't as good as a gauss sniper rifle, although it has infinite ammo and no recoil.

[Parisbre56]

I see mission 18 is turning into a contest to see who has the biggest laser.

One pair of parentheses is all that's needed to make this into an innuendo.
