What is the duct tape for? I assume its to repair stuff with the Repair skill, but I don't think I have seen anything broken other than heaps of space junk.

Robot fixing.

[quinnr]

Is there a floppy disk to give me a description of what equipment actually does? I know how identifies work, but I was thinking something more along the lines of greater ID from TOME, and all I have to go on is what I write down in a note as I play meaning it's pretty subjective.

Disk of Diagnostics does I think.

[Huey]

I just found an optimized Diagnostics, and it allows me to see my status effects. I think I found a master keycard or something, I bought two from the store, and used the wrong one by accident, but it opened a different color door! I have used it on all the locked doors I have found so far, so i think my guess is correct. Oh, and stormtrooper gear is worth quite a bit to sell

I also found a bionic implant behind a locked door called a yellow fish, I will hazard a guess that it is a Babel Fish lol.

New question, does anyone have tips for managing their inventory? i keep getting up to strained, and then going and selling stuff, but its going to suck if I get ambushed by something fast if I am crawling around under the weight of all my stuff. I guess old habits in these games die hard, I have always been a packrat lol.

Ah well, back to it. Neo is going to make it!

EDIT: How many implants can i install at one time? I am not making the mistake of installing unknown buggy ones, as the last time I did that, it was something called a narcoleptor, and I kept falling asleep at inopportune times

[Phantom]

I assume one implant for each lobe of your brain.

OH CRAP I JUST FOUND ROBOT CITY!
SHOPS! SHOPS EVERYWHERE!

[GlyphGryph]

You can sell stuff!?

You mean I didn't need to leave those stormtrooper armor's I kept finding strewn across the floors!?

HOW!!!?

[Phantom]

Drop stuff in shops.

And: STUPID BLOODY GAMMA CAVES!

[Huey]

Yup, dropping stuff in stores asks to sell it. So I just made it to Robot City as well, and decided to try something sneaky. I restrained the guardbot on the way in, and he promptly started following me around. Problem was, when I entered the first shop, he decided that the clerkbot was hostile, and started shooting with his Silver Cannon. Thinking this was an ok turn of events, I start picking up floppies from the floor, intending to pay for them. Unfortunately, it kept telling me that I had already paid the toll (which i did because my previous character who made it this far said no, and was quickly slaughtered).

And so ends the adventures of Neo, Web Designer. Quite sad too, as i found a radiation-proof jumpsuit and radiation processor implant, among other nice goodies.

Next time I will be a little more careful. However, I have learned quite a bit on this trip, now i need to figure out what a good weapon set is. The pea-shooter works well for the beginning, but i can see it becoming underpowered deeper in.

[Phantom]

Find a pulse rifle. Quickly.

And the Gamma Caves shall be the game level I hate the most.

Next to fighting the true evil in the Doom Roguelike

[GlyphGryph]

So, weapons... which of these is better:

A mop
A club
a Bat'leth
A probe
A cattle prod

And how big a difference does the bonus make (my mop was +3)

And man, I just lost an awesome character to some damn sewer turtles.
I had an optmized disk of identify which pretty much gives me infinite identify (it lasts forever, and occasionally lets you identify several items in a go)

[Huey]

Out of those choices, the Bat'leth is the good one. I found a buggy energy sword, so I ended up selling my bat'leth, it is worth 500 bucks! So 1000 to buy in a store. You can only sell probes for 5, clubs can't be sold, and I haven't seen a mop or cattle prod yet. Although tazering stuff could be good times.

Too bad i need a computer to use disks, otherwise i would probably have lots of good stuff. Also, it seems like Stormtrooper gear is acid-proof, at least it has resisted it every time so far for me.

[Pandarsenic]

How do you load ammo into guns or know if something takes energy or boolits?

[Huey]

As far as I have been able to determine, guns simply use the proper ammo if you have any in your backpack. I think the pea-shooter and pulse rifle are ammoless, blasters and laser rifles use energy cells, and regular guns like pistols, shotguns and railguns use bullets or shells.

Keep in mind i'm no expert, but I have a decent page of notes going now

[Tilla]

Glad to see it's still active, thanks for the update Cyrus. Can hardly wait for that Windows version - feel free to contact me if you need a tester, I'm currently on a Win 7 64-bit system

[Pandarsenic]

What does nano cola do?

[Huey]

Nano cola gives you a temporary boost to your charisma, if I have been keeping track properly. I think that is important for mutant powers, or Psions, but I haven't tried that class yet, and I am not brave enough to chug from vats of toxic waste in the hopes of gaining a freak mutant ability

EDIT: also, does anyone know what a floppy disk of hacking does? I found one with a character who can't use them, but I haven't seen one since.
