5-sec reset could make the energy weapons that have highly limited shots and/or heat problems get more bang for their buck. Just fire and reset.

((We...could "volunteer" to test out some new weapons/systems for more !!FUN!! Be a quick and easy way to see if stuff is unbalanced in a (un)controlled setting.))

((I like that idea. Maybe a couple of us could be given a few items and shipped off to a random UWM world for some good old-fashioned terrorism.))

((Reroute us as part of the mission. We want to do enough stuff to justify getting paid.

Also +1 for terrorism. We didn't bring a 10 kiloton nuke for nothing afterall.))

There'd be an interesting Limbo diversion or alternate mission thread; split into small teams of "random ARM trooper" mode, where you're set on a planet with a predetermined gear list and a temporary character, given a vague objective, and told to go nuts.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

...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?

I'm keeping those, and resolving the 'item approval' matters OOCly, until I'm officially relieved of the position and someone else is assigned to it and I have briefed them on the matter.

But the 'white-hot club' might not be so bad compared to other ideas. We still don't know "how hot" is that 'white-hot' (maybe it's... THE LEVEL OF IGNORANCE as preached by Steve? Now that would be a twist! :P), and what good does it do, and how expensive it is (it might be just 1-2 tokens, and then it might actually have its uses even if it's as low-tech as it sounds).

5-sec reset could make the energy weapons that have highly limited shots and/or heat problems get more bang for their buck. Just fire and reset.

Not if the price of a single reset is higher than the price of any ammo. (And on that matter, HEP doesn't even have any ammo! So resetting it, whatever the cost, is economically unfeasible when you could just let it "cool off".)



Also, Halloween Special is upon us! Hide in your rooms, get off the ship, save your souls, people!

I think that each of the uncon weapons has many potential uses and I'm excited for all of them.  Having a constant source of heat under all conditions, for example, would work great for infinitely recharging batteries.  Or safer metalworking without space magic.

Quote from: from doc
5 Second Reset: A machine that, when activated, reverts you and everything you’re carrying to the state you were in 5 seconds ago. Battery powered, overuse causes stat damage.

Reminds me of an episode of Futurama.

Also, that mask thing sounds hella creepy.

Ehhh
Does the addition of Haber Implant means all the changes to amp-use that were promised (threatened) to us? Or is it (the description hints at it) a much lighter version that does not require that much of a game-change?

They were added in suggestion mode, so if you're in view mode you won't see them. The green button in the top-right corner.

Along with the haebi stuff, I'm pretty interested in the Id manifestor and the white mask. The white mask seems like a really cool "even in death I serve" kind of thing. I'm not really clear on the Id manifestor though, do you get to choose the manifestation, and does it get less likely to attack you the higher your skill?

Well, amps and manips are changing in general so I don't expect the UWM to use them much anymore, so it's not that much of a problem.
