Can I recommend NBC shielding for those who don't have it?

I can't. All I can get is an overpressurized cockpit.

Can I recommend non-friendly fire options for those who don't have them?

Seriously though. Good to have non WMD weapons for when we don't want to inflict collateral damage. Not that NBC sealing isn't great and I wouldn't get it if I could, but...the overpressurized cockpit is only like BC sealing. And not even all that great BC sealing, at that.

Well, I have a laser. But that's no fun. I've got a MMM mech, not a pew-pew mech.

The mid-air abortion thing is good for avoiding collateral damage. The non-Sarin filled rounds will mean I won't have (as much of) a compulsion to see just how much damage a Kinetic Impact Round does to a Small sized mech.

I'm just glad to be groundside so that I can get a kilometer or three straight up to get away from all of the war crimes.

Considering (I'm pretty sure) there's already laws against armaments in space, it's pretty clear treaties like that were dropped a long time ago, simply because they're this obtainable. If we pretended to be the Earthers at any point that's also breaking the rules of war... technically, as mercenaries, we are considered illegal combatants under the geneva convention. We're not even PMCs, which are more legal. So modern laws aren't really a good basis. It's illegal for any of us to fight. At all.

Once again, I'm not too concerned. If you're being gassed by Sarin, the odourless, colourless gas, you'll be somewhat less than dangerous. Not to mention you'd have to step where I was shooting, then turn and shoot me before you either faced incapacitation or I shot you.

If you shoot near me with the machine gun, I will shoot you.

Also my point was that you should try to avoid friendly fire.

Well, I wasn't planning too, but if I do, I know to keep shooting. I'm not intentionally planning to gas you, you know?

The thing is, as your weapons become progressively less discriminate, the probability of friendly fire approaches 1.
