They're probbably uncon if you try to Ullapool Caber with 'em

"Join ARM, we smack the UWM in the face with grenades"

I can see that working out well on a recruitment poster.

Has anybody else every been bothered by the fact that kinamps are dependent on the measuring unit, or is it just me?

Cuz like, a kinamp that converts newtons to square newtons would convert dynes to 10^10 square dynes. Bigger multiplier by using a smaller unit.

[NJW2000]

you sure they don't just use dynes²?

I think this is in Piecewise Measurement Units.
Also I thought it doubled or something, not squared.  1^2 is still 1.

Mostly when you go punchy with the kin amp, it goes super duper punchy instead. This is my understanding of it.

We should really get PW to go on record on how 'nades work. Because it would suck to have a character with really good dex suddenly throw a grenade at his own feet because he had to roll uncon.

If they're the kind that you pull a pin and throw, it's str to cover the distance, dex for aim.

If it comes out of a launcher, it's Con.

If you're using them as an explosive, thats uncon

If you're making a trap with them, thats uncon and handi.

What do you mean, "if you're using them as an explosive"? What else do you use them as, a paperweight?

Set it like you would set a pack of C4.

Hmm, what if you developed a smart 'nade? With sensors and stuff, and possibly limited steering? If you had to set the parameters before throwing/launching, would it be aux?

"If you're using them as an explosive" == if you're using them for demolition, I would assume.

sounds like either the Hand Cannon or a pocket missile to me

How often does the on ship thread get updated?

[TheBiggerFish]

Is the KinAmp safe under No Space Magic conditions?
Not the Kinetic Shunt.

How often does the on ship thread get updated?

Randomly. I try to do it a few times a week and it will get done more often now that there are few people.  But I've got school so I sometimes get busy.

[Egan_BW]

Didn't I ask on IRC and you said nades were uncon? Or am I just going crazy.

[SkyMarshal]

Until stated otherwise, I'd assume all space magic that was not developed from artifacts of previous missions to be derived from "Origin" :/
