[Approved] Misc. New Equipment

[Athena]

If you give it to Shekka, it could be part of her crew inventory. Stuff she put together with access to better tech than what she had on Tarkus.

I'm going to try that. Heck, I'll see if I can throw in a two versions, though one might only work in silly mode. I already roughed out one, though it needs a name before I refine it...I need to learn to do that first before I start designing the features...

EDIT: Now I've got them both down, but they still need names...

 

[Theron]

The bat-themed one could easily be a Halloween item.

The Jewelled Outfit has -10% Freezing Resistance because it has Lucinite in it, which decreases Freezing Resistance while in your inventory. I don't know that this new armor needs it.

Steele Guardian?

"I am the nudist that flaps in the night!"

That's a good point, plus I was just thinking it'd get pretty cold if you wore it, but I guess the barrier would work both ways, and act as insulation.

...Steele Guardian Armor is a good direction, but it doesn't quite sum it up...

 

[Theron]

Colder than going around naked? Plus you've probably got some heat from the power generators.

Oh yeah. fair enough.

Also, damnit, it got too late again. I'm going to have to sleep on it. Hopefully I figure out some names tomorrow. And a line for the Pasties. I'm almost done here, dangit...

You've got some good fluff for the Medi-Cane, but this just came to me:

Have you ever wanted to relive your glory days? Do you want to teach those ungrateful brats to respect their Elders? Now you can!
The Medi-Cane will, on contact with a sufficiently energetic youth, sap their energy and give it to you!
The miscreant will learn what it feels like to have creaking joints and chills!

Order yours today!

(If the Hirudo can heal you by feeding on a distant target, I don't see why the Medi-cane needs much explanation.)

The Hirudo scares and confuses me.

I mean, I was scared that maybe I was writing too much. It doesn't need it, but I'm a huge nerd who wants to know everything I can about every technical gadget I can find. If all that explanation does little to improve it, and people would prefer a joke explanation that just raises more questions, I guess I could give it a shot...

Actually, your suggestion is probably better than anything I could come up with. I'm terrible at comedy. I mean, here I was giggling to myself about about how you have to rapidly thrust samples into a large cylindrical freezer using quick in-and-out motions in order to spray yourself with life-giving liquid. I think I'll just admit I'm weird and move on.

 

[Theron]

That is pretty funny when you put it that way, it's just more obscured.

Really, it comes down to personal taste. I was thinking mine was a little more appropriate to Silly Mode.

I guess it could always be a silly mode weapon. I copied what I wrote before onto another doc, if Fen has a problem with your suggestion, at least I have something to fall back on. I remember the tooltips for ship stuff being so long when they first came out that they'd get cut off at the top, so I'm wary of going with something too wordy.

Anyways, I went through everything to try and do all the edits I could muster. The only thing left is to sort out the names of the mech arms at the top (the names I went with are terrible when you try to say them in a sentence) and the armors on the bottom.

 

[TheShepard256]

You don't have to make the weapon silly mode exclusive; you could just give it a different description for silly mode.

 

[Athena]

You don't have to make the weapon silly mode exclusive; you could just give it a different description for silly mode.

But I finally settled on a name for it: Shekka's Ultimate Custom Combat Suit - aka the SUCC Suit!

...Yeah, I think I'll just make it a silly mode description. I honestly didn't know I could do that, I figured the parser only applied to scenes.

I gave up trying to find a better name for those arms. I'll leave it up for another day or two to see if anyone else has any feedback, but this is pretty much done as far as I can tell.

Why not Backstabbers?

 

[Athena]

Why not Backstabbers?

I died. XD

I don't think that would work for both, but I guess this shows that I need to think outside the box. I'll see what I can come up with.

EDIT: I decided to call the melee version the "Razorback Combat Arms" and the ranged version "TwinStar Combat Arms". What do you guys think?

 

[Ooh Woo]

Sound good to me. I really hope this gets approved, it's probably the closest those of us who play insectoid characters can come to having 4 arms.

Tell me about it. I may have been looking at Kirila's extra arms with jealously when I came up with those...

Anyways, I really want to submit this tonight, but my gut is telling me I should wait until the end of the day tomorrow in case I get some more feedback.

 

[Theron]

I came up with Fencer's Arms, but Razorback is at least as good. Backstabbers is great for the pun.

 

[Athena]

Backstabbers is great for the pun.

I was originally going to work in a line about how your arms can't get hacked, so you don't have to worry about "losing your head" when up against a tech specialist, but it just never came up, and the scene had already gotten too long. If I had left it in, "Backstabbers" would've been hilarious.

 

[Theron]

They can't be hacked to play porn, but the Disarmed applied by the Cyberpunk Weapon Hack applies. As an Energy weapon, the TwinStar can be disabled natively, but if you're using an Energy ranged weapon, they can also disable the Razorback. The Disarmed status doesn't discriminate.

Oh yeah, I was thinking more from when I was going to make them actual drones, I think there's a drone hack ability, but I forgot that makes the drones display porn. Which wouldn't have made sense here, now that I think about it. I was more worried about someone hacking these robotic arms strapped to your back and attacking you with them. Sounds like something out of a horror movie...

 

[Athena]

I submitted this the other day, btw. I don't actually know how to change the title status, though.

[Athena]

Thanks, I didn't even see that section.

"Once activated, a secondary light-bending layer of shield energy can be seen forming around your exposed body parts in a hex-like pattern, which can rapidly dissipate heat and deflect incoming laser fire from vital regions"

I love it

 

[HeavyMetalLoser]

Does the game have any kind of Set Bonus system? Because I think the pasties and maebari should give an extra point or two of sexiness if worn together.

 

[Athena]

No. No it does not.

 

[Zavos]

There isn't any infrastructure to support a set system.

 

[Crablord]

now that its accepted, any word on when it'll be in?

 

[Athena]

I was informed that, due to document consisting primarily of items for existing vendors, which also need to go through proper balancing, they're a low priority, and I shouldn't expect to see them any time soon. Honestly, I'm just glad they were accepted. Making items really wasn't my thing.

 

[waterpanther7]

is this still accepted?

 

[TheShepard256]

My own submission, which is similar in nature to this one, got lost in the JS conversion until it got mentioned in the Discord and donkey investigated. It's still low priority, though. @lowercase_donkey did this also get lost?
