-reads document. 5 uncon and one exo thing. Dissapointed-

Though I'll admit, haebi limb sounds cool. Maybe make a haebi body as an alternative to the synthflesh body? That would be neat. I'd probably be down for that, given some more details about how the haebi stuff works. I'm hopeful that more cool exo stuff will get added.

It'd form a great incentive to go out and find artifacts again!

Also, I'll look into further developing the Thing or Heabi stuff once we can post in the Hep thread again.

We should probably start doing that again, yeah.
Or start buying stuff from Nyars Non-Euclidian Emporium.

It'd also fit better thematically and gameplay-wise. Do good and find good artifacts? New cool toys to play with! Screw up and fail? No magics4u! It'd make the stakes seem higher (aka more suspense and such) and choices matter more.

i have a feeling that going down the path exo can lead to you becoming an eldritch horror, uncommon leads you to becoming some space wizard or ninja. Common is common, nuttin' much about it till later on when you become a giant space robot of doom!

That could work...
And with the lurker messing with all those sweet sweet amps, there must be a lot of overloads going on, right?

To be entirely honest, I don't much like the things that seem to 'come out of nowhere' so to speak. I mean, (most) people limited their designs to things that have some reason to exist in ER, such as by being based from gathered artifacts, but now it seems that just about anything is possible by handwaving at it. Makes going out on dangerous missions to find artifacts to reverse-engineer a bit pointless.

While theoretically a whole lot of garbage is there in the R&D department, hence the existence of Nyartifacts that include ones that mysteriously produced no results and were slated for destruction when Nyars appropriated them (and there are more ARM units than just us), I still agree that it's much nicer to have stuff directly based on things we've recovered and tinkered out.

Parasyte-style Haebi limbs. I am all about that. Considering how effectively sharp and quick they make their blades in the anime, it's going to be an awesome medical and anti-medical tool.

I absolutely am going to have to play around with it when I get it, and see what, exactly, I am allowed to do with it.

After, of course, buffing up my DEX so I don't cut my other arm off on accident.

Hey, I'm new to ER, I made a character and posted it on the on-ship thread, could somebody give me a rundown of the current situation and tell me if I did my character right?

can we get a pure CON termite rifle that only has the matter eating and kill switch capabilities?

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.

I, personally, don't mind PW creating stuff.  It's more or less impossible for us to tinker up space magic items without saying anything more than "Recreate the weird effect".

Although, I do hope PW's items still have to be vetted before being added to the armory.  'White hot club'?  Seriously?

...Actually, who do engineering admin duties fall to right now?  Does Nik just continue doing it, despite Maurice being dead or... whatever he is right now?  Or do I do it?  Sean?  Radio?
