"Over half our barter reserve?"  The reserve is 38,347 credits.  Half of that is 19,173 credits.  The purchases would total 17,940 credits.  17,940 is less than 19,173.

[Naturegirl1999]

It is still a good idea to compare the armors and weapons

[King Zultan]

Getting an idea of what these items are capable of is a good idea no matter what they cost.

[ZBridges]

I do think it's a good idea to get information on these items before making a purchase, but stating that 17,940 credits is more than half of our barter reserve is a clear misrepresentation.

[Superdorf]

((Guh, shouldn't have eyeballed the math  ))

...that it is. Almost half our reserve, then-- pardon my muddlings.

[ZBridges]

I support getting a quick summary of the descriptions of the items on the list, unless doing so would be too time-consuming.

Let me know if anything seems weird or out of place!
Also I hate you. So much fluff. ;-;

Spoiler: Level 2 Two-stage Automatic Las-Rifles w/various modifications (click to show/hide)

A las-gun is a weapon that uses pulsed beams of light emitted by a reactor. Energy stored within a high-efficiency battery is forced through this reactor, and an emitter, and focused through a lens. The resulting energy, when it impacts a surface, causes rapid heating of the atoms within. In flesh, this causes a steam explosion that ruptures outward with painful results. This las-rifle is designed for automatic, burst, and single fire modes, but the trigger is designed with two stages to increase accuracy and reduce accidents.

Weight: [8 lbs or 3.62874 kg]
Length: [35inches or 88.9mm]
Modifications: Aim-assist jacks, kinetic-charged flashlight, vacuum-safe
Empyreal Tech Level: 2
Battery: High Capacity Storage Cell/Standard Las-Rifle Magazine 500/250 shots per charge
Manufacturer: Hyperion Arms LTD.

Spoiler: Level 2 Carapace Armor (click to show/hide)

A complex system of plates, artificial muscle, and a reinforced undersuit. This armor is a step-in style model, allowing it to accommodate a range of baseline human operators. The armor plating is a composite of various superalloys, bioplastics and weaved fabrics atop a system of artificial muscles, overlaying an undersuit. While these plates provide an incredible amount of protection against small arms fire and fragmentation, they can be shattered and compromised by laser-pulse based weapons and high-velocity slugs. However, each plate section is designed to at least take two full impact high energy impacts before being compromised. A minor AI provides operational and health support, the former through a complicated sensor package and the latter through various auto-injectors and medical apparatuses.

Weight: [150lbs or 68.0389kg]
Height: [7 feet or 2.1336 meters]
Modifications: Searchlight Health and Operational AI, aim-assist, friend-or-foe system, combat stimulant auto-injectors, auto-tourniquets, medical-drug auto-injectors, atmospheric condition sensor suite, Vacuum-safe, Biological, Chemical, and Radiation safe, 12-hour breathing-mix supply
Empyreal Tech Level: 2
Battery: High-Capacity Suit Battery Level 2 (168 hour operational capacity)
Manufacturer: Hyperion Arms LTD.

Spoiler: Survival (Rail-gun) Rifle (click to show/hide)

A rail-gun uses two parallel electromagnetic rails to rapidly propel ferrous and magnetic rounds to high velocity. This one is designed after a slug bolt rifle, where the next shell is loaded manually from the magazine by operation of a lever. With their higher penetration capabilities, these rifles are primarily used for hunting of wild game. The round can usually be recovered from the target with ease and further repaired and modified. But, as this gun requires two sources of ammunition, an energy cell, and a slug magazine, many militaries find this bulky, heavy weapon unviable in combat.

Weight: [12 lbs or 5.44311kg]
Length: [43.5 in or 1,100 mm]
Modifications: 8x scope
Empyreal Tech Level: 1
Battery: High capacity storage cell/standard las-rifle magazine: 500/250 shots per charge, survival rail-gun magazine: 8 rounds
Manufacturer: Hyperion Arms LTD.

Spoiler: Level 3 Hardlight Emitter Shields (click to show/hide)

A high-powered kinetic charging battery system provides the immense energies needed to emit a hardlight shield. This battery is charged by the kinetic motion of the user, and the shield is projected when the AI within detects anything on a hostile trajectory towards the operator. The battery is high-yield, allowing for ten interceptions on a full charge. A reliable defense platform used the Empyre over by those in dangerous lines of work.

Weight: [20 lbs or 9.07185kg]
Diamet: [8.5 in or 215.9 mm]
Empyreal Tech Level: 3
Battery: Kinetic Battery System: 10 Charges
Manufacturer: Hyperion Arms LTD.

Spoiler: Level 1 Emitter Shields (click to show/hide)

An AI projects a field of energy whenever it detects energy or matter on a trajectory dangerous to the operator. This field provides a high level of protection, but consumes a large amount of power, resulting in only a few uses before the battery needs to be recharged.

Weight: [35 lbs or 15.8757kg]
Diamet: [10 in or 254 mm]
Empyreal Tech Level: 1
Battery: High capacity storage cell/standard las-rifle magazine: 3 Charges
Manufacturer: Hyperion Arms LTD.

Spoiler: Level 1 Cutter Hilts (Hydrogen-oxygen) (click to show/hide)

A adjustable, incredibly thin wire is extended from a hilt-like apparatus to form a variable-length cutting blade. Primarily used as a tool for metal-cutting, survival, or industrial applications. Once a hallmark of Spacers and Pirates, as it eased boarding and cutting through void protective gear, it has grown rapidly in popularity following the Plague's Advent. This style of cutter uses a stoichiometric mix of hydrogen and oxygen projected through a thin superalloy tube to produce temperatures of [2,800 °C or 5,100 °F]. Hot enough to cut through bone and flesh, as well as armor. Calcium chloride has been added in small amounts to produce an orange color to the otherwise colorless flame.

Weight: [4 lbs or 1.81437 kg]
Length: [8inch or 20.32 hilt, 50 inch or 127cm fully extended]
Empyreal Tech Level: 1
Battery: High Capacity Hydrogen-Oxygen Storage Cell: 250 minutes of burn time at the lowest setting
Manufacturer: Hyperion Arms LTD.

Spoiler: Level 5 Cutter Hilts (Cyanogen-Oxygen) (click to show/hide)

A adjustable, incredibly thin wire is extended from a hilt-like apparatus to form a variable-length cutting blade. Primarily used as a tool for metal-cutting, survival, or industrial applications. Once a hallmark of Spacers and Pirates, as it eased boarding and cutting through void protective gear, it has grown rapidly in popularity following the Plague's Advent. This style of cutter uses a stoichiometric mix of cyanogen and oxygen projected through a thin superalloy tube to produce temperatures of [4,525 °C or 8,177 °F]. Hot enough to cut through bone and flesh, as well as armor. However, due to the toxic nature of cyanogen, as it produces cyanide when burned, these are primarily only used within the vacuum of the Void.

Weight: [4 lbs or 1.81437 kg]
Length: [8inch or 20.32 hilt, 50 inch or 127cm fully extended]
Empyreal Tech Level: 5
Battery: High Capacity  Cyanogen-Oxygen Storage Cell: 250 minutes of burn time at the lowest setting
Manufacturer: Hyperion Arms LTD.

Spoiler: Tactical Nuclear Recoilless Gun (click to show/hide)

A tactical nuclear recoilless gun capable of propelling a mininuke warhead [2.5 miles or 4km]. A long, smoothbore rifle mounted on a tripod for stability, ease of aiming and to allow for strategic aiming. These are usually operated by a two-man crew, the spotter, and the triggerman. Built-in jacks allow for an aim-assist lens to be plugged in to help calculate trajectories and safe distances.

Weight: [40lbs or 18.1437kg]
Length: [5.1 feet or 155.448cm]
Empyreal Tech Level: 1
Ammo: Mininuke Warheads, [135mm]

Spoiler: Mininuke Warheads (click to show/hide)

A rocket-propelled nuclear device designed to be fired from a Tactical Nuclear Recoilless Gun. These warheads have a yield of approximately [15 tons], and are used for heavy bombardment and bunker destruction, as they are inaccurate. Primarily, these kill through radiation. The rocket has a built-in oxygen supply, allowing it to be fired in Void.

Weight: [30lbs or 13.6078 kg]
Length: [4 feet or 121.92 cm]
Caliber: [135 mm]

Spoiler: PACKMULE (click to show/hide)

(PACK Material Unit Lift Enhancer) A quadrupedal robotic carrying system, designed to operate over rough terrain or wherever hovercraft and other conventional means of transporting cargo fails. Primarily used by rimworld traders to transport goods to less civilized cultures, these machines can carry immense weight over great distances, requiring only a brief period of solar charging. While technically an Ai, these machines are less than intelligent, but some seem to develop personalities over time. Primarily constructed of artificial muscle, these machines are bulky and loud.

Weight: [1200lbs or 544.3108 kg]
Height: [49.2126 in or 125 cm]
Length: [5 feet or 152.4 cm]
Carrying Capacity: [4000 lbs or 1814.369 kg]
Battery: Platform-based high capacity energy cell: operational for 72 hours before a recharge is required
Manufacturer: Hyperion Transport Solutions LTD.

"The Ai in the carapace is Searchlight Vee eleven oh dot two nine three eight five one. Workhorse. Designed to prioritize the life of the operator. It has some minor battlefield direction ability too -- a compass, a map, squad monitorin'. Y'know. Nothin' fancy. I think in about a hundred years, only one started acting funny, but it got Shattered pretty quickly."

[ZBridges]

"You said that most weapons in your stock, including the shield belt, are free to use, but all of these items have prices.  Why is there a discrepancy?"

[19_EgarAlnis]

"Like I said like three times. Two or three go missin', no one will notice. Five hundred? We need a contract. I don't own any of this -- neither does Murdach. We get a little leeway, since, y'know, Pirates, but all these weapons are held in common trust by the crew. Can't just give it away -- but we can unlawfully let some get lost."

[ZBridges]

"If these items are kept in the common trust, doesn't that mean I am entitled to 55% of all these weapons?  Is that already represented by the barter reserve?"

[19_EgarAlnis]

"Goods are not weapons." The Armorer states after a brief flicker of annoyance. "Our dealing and contracts have already been favorable to you, made in good faith." Then, with an exhale of smoke and a bubble of his collar, he very calmly states, "And if you want to argue the fine print, these weapons belong to individual crew members as trophies who we have to reimburse for their losses."

"In my opinion, you're comin' out on top: walkin' away with a brand new set of armor, tech that you lot can't make in a hundred years, and with allies that can, say, crush the skull of an Ascended without too much hassle." He exhales a cloud of smoke, stubbing out the cigarette. "But that can change, righ'? I've already heard rumors you've started to annoy Murdach. What'll happen if you start claimin' fifty-five percent of our armory too? Somethin' to think about."

[Superdorf]

Also I hate you. So much fluff. ;-;

((apologies  ))

[ZBridges]

"I apologize for that.  I'm just trying to get a full understanding of how our relationship and contract will work.  Murdach is frustrated with me?"

[19_EgarAlnis]

[6] "Rumors and gossip. Ain' much else to do while you're workin'. Considerin' I have to help repair his armor from, what he calls, a sparrin' accident, and we have one of your people in our hospital with a shattered jaw -- it don't look good, does it?"
