So my memory failed me. It seems that almost the only mass attack available to me is EMP grenades.



Speaking of them, by the way. Prevention doesn’t work, or am I just not aware of the limitations?
I don't understand what you're asking, here. Please rephrase?

I was reminded that Aphro Daisies and Ero Gas Grenades work on groups. They do Lust damage, so don't work on everything. In particular, they do Drug damage, and some things that are susceptible to Tease have high Drug resistance. Ero Gas Grenades especially don't help, since you can only buy them once you get to Dhaal, and they're expensive.

Little. I'm more annoyed off by the fact that every random bitch has a shields of above my level (but I have the best shield in the game of the available!).

I can understand the Urbolg shield, because it is a hand-made shield that is too heavy for many. In addition, he is located on he is own territory and could be connected to some kind of power source.

I can understand Dr. Lash, (s)he is of unknown age and experience and is the strongest (technically) character in the game.

But when all sorts of oncoming bandits have 150+ shields and can restore them in one way or another ...

In this light, the use of B.D.S. looks more and more attractive.
I don't remember a lot of enemies who can restore their Shields. Gel Zon (Storm Lancer random encounter) can, Korgonne Male can, if he hits you with one attack. Amara can (10%), Overseer Maike does, 1/fight. Cyber Punk Security can (a melee attack that drains your Shields and Deflector Regen), Slavebreakers can, by draining your Shields. They do seem to be becoming more common...

Vamp Blade is especially good vs enemies that can restore their Shields because you can restore your own off of theirs.

Granted, some are especially annoying. Gel Zon's 'dangerous' technique never backfires or fails in any way.

While I haven't gone and counted, I'm pretty sure enemies often have more HP than you can, as well. (Tech Specialists: 10/Level, Smugglers: 15/Level and Mercenaries: 20/Level).

If you do decide to use the BDS, you might want to get a source of healing. Hirudo Devourer, Field Surgeon's Kit from Bianca or explain Credits to Ula so you can buy Healing Poultices.

IT should, in theory, prevent meetings, but do not work.

I was reminded that Aphro Daisies and Ero Grenades work on groups. They do Lust damage, so don't work on everything.

Non-living opponents are immune to lust from B.D.S., but do we have EMP grenades? I remember about opponents with the reset of lust, but they haven’t come across to me yet.

They do seem to be becoming more common...

I find the Slavebreakers annoying because of the vampirism of my shields and their own score of 300. Gel Zon seems to be not so bad for a techno melee specialist if there is a jetpack. Rat Thieves still restored shields, if I'm not mistaken. I came across Korgonne Male, but I don’t remember the restoration of the shields.

Vamp Blade is especially good vs enemies that can restore their Shields because you can restore your own off of theirs.

It seems that I will need to buy a Vamp Blade despite the fact that in this way I lose my stun and crushing...

P.S. Regarding Dr. Lash, since they started talking about him. The wiki says that he attacks six times per turn, but when I encounter him, he only attacks five. Yes, it is weaker, but oddly enough, it still leaves the question: why doesn’t it shoot from the sixth blaster?

Ah. I'm pretty sure they reduce encounter rate. But maybe they don't work, and it's a bug.

EMP Grenades sold by Anno both on Tarkus, and as a Crewmember. I haven't really used them, so I don't know how effective they actually are. They are supposed to stun robotic enemies for 2 rounds, though. 15 Electric Damage isn't very impressive.
Edit: Tarkus: Sex Bots, Grey Goo Girls, and the LG-BT. Zheng Shi: Mining Robot, Excavator Robot.
Against non-Robots, it does 20-25 damage to shields.

I find the Slavebreakers annoying because of the vampirism of my shields and their own score of 300. Gel Zon seems to be not so bad for a techno melee specialist if there is a jetpack. Rat Thieves still restored shields, if I'm not mistaken. I came across Korgonne Male, but I don’t remember the restoration of the shields.
Personally, I found it funny to hit the Slavebreakers with a Vamp Blade after they drain my Shields. They're also technically optional, but I understand it would be out of character for your Steele to not free the slaves. I thought the Rat Thieves had a Shield restore, but I didn't see it listed. They do have a 1/fight HP restore, though. The Korgonne Male doesn't restore much and is fairly fragile.

It seems that I will need to buy a Vamp Blade despite the fact that in this way I lose my stun and crushing...
FZR is massive overkill anyway. Besides, you have only a 20% chance to inflict Deep Freeze on any enemy with a resistance to Freezing, making it less useful on Uveto. Fortunately, now that Ships are in, we have more storage for situational equipment.

You know, I wasn't counting. Another bug? I doubt anyone would complain if he gets one less attack than advertised.

One strategy for using your Attack Drone vs Groups is letting it finish off an opponent when they get low on HP, while you start attacking a fresh one. This prevents 'wasting' damage by KOing an opponent with your first attack and whiffing with the second.

I used these grenades against drones, Dr. Badger's robots and Excavation Robot , they immobilize quite reliably, I don’t remember the fails.

Edit: They work on Sex Bots, Grey Goo Girls, and the LG-BT.

The first two fairly light opponents, grenades were used several times on Gabilani Vacationers. Then I decided that it would be much cheaper and easier to avoid them.

Personally, I always found it funny to hit them Slavebreakers with a Vamp Blade after they drain my Shields. They're also technically optional, but I understand it would be out of character for your Steele to not free the slaves.

I guess I need this too. Yes, the slaves have already been freed, although this could have been a somewhat hasty decision.

FZR is massive overkill anyway. Besides, you have only a 20% chance to inflict Deep Freeze on any enemy with a resistance to Freezing. Fortunately, now that the Ships are in, we have more storage for situational equipment.

I often miss the frozen opponents with a second attack. I guess I just need to get distracted from the quests and make time for classes in the gym? Yes, I load an earlier save, so I have more physics and reflexes, but less aim and money.

You know, I wasn't counting. Another bug? I doubt anyone would complain if he gets one less attack than advertised.

Doctor Lash.png Doctor Lash_2.png Doctor Lash_3.png

Yes, but in this case, the logic for six attacks. Since he can use almost every hand to attack, then why not all?

P.S. It seems that the system has something against editing my posts. Deleted the message and re-entered. I hope that no more stupid mistakes were made in my writing ...

I don't think the stun can fail against robotic enemies. Of note, the Stun does not work on the final boss of Syri's Quest on Uveto. Nor does it work on Roz's Power Armor.

This, too. Especially since they don't appear near the Stellar Tether. As an aside, the Vacationers, Gel Zon and the Bothrioc (including the Quadomes) were all written by Nonesuch. He seems to love difficult fights for no reward.

You miss often? I don't recall missing much, even with a non-maxed Physique. Having the Custom Shock Gear's Bonus Hit Rate helps, I suppose.

I'm pretty sure he's supposed to. He is described as having a weapon in each hand.
Going through the code, he has a Multiple Attack perk that sets his number of attacks to 5.
Compare with Bonus Attacks, which adds a number of attacks.
Maybe they used the wrong function. Maybe they decided 6 was too many.

Syri's quest once did not pass even once. If I truly remember who Roz is (the Opponent in power armor, we only have one, if we forget about Amara and her Juggernaut?)- then she is quite a simple opponent without stunning.

Bothrioc (including the Quadomes)

I didn’t remember who it was. I looked. Make me unsee it, I don't like spiders ...

What a bizarre person...

Often enough to pay attention to it. Doesn't reflexes affect melee accuracy?

It turns out strange. Whoever is destined to be invincible is intentionally weakened?

PC, Firefox. But I do not think that is the point. When I try to save the changes, I get a message whose meaning is something like "your edit contains spam or an inappropriate data type and cannot be applied." Since this happens only the second time (messages I edited more often) - I'm not sure what caused it, but it is possible that the {spoiler} tag has something to do with it.

If you do decide to use the BDS, you might want to get a source of healing. Hirudo Devourer, Field Surgeon's Kit from Bianca or explain Credits to Ula so you can buy Healing Poultices.

Just now I noticed your message supplement. For me B.D.S. not the main weapon of battle, but rather a spare trick for strong opponents and those who dare to steal / hack my shields.
...

By the way, a couple of times I met a cheater with the hack of my weapons and abilities. Why the hell do they work, what’s there, in physics and reflexes of verification?

I keep trying to reply (with quotes), but my browser keeps crashing. Can you edit your older posts? When was the last time you ran a virus scan? I'd recommend Malware Bytes myself.

I tested the EMP Grenades vs the Dropship because it works against the LGBT, which is techincally piloted. Captain Khorgan is described as wearing something that certainly resembles Power Armor.

I didn’t remember who it was. I looked. Make me unsee it, I don't like spiders ...
Sorry about that. At least we don't have to fight the Quadommes on the way to Taivra's palace. Praise Be to DrunkZombie.

Often enough to pay attention to it. Doesn't reflexes affect melee accuracy?
I'm pretty sure they affect both Melee and Ranged. I'd have to go digging through the code, but I think they add a miss chance depending on your Reflexes vs theirs? In any case, 0.8.062 changed Accuracy and Evasion.

It turns out strange. Whoever is destined to be invincible is intentionally weakened?
I'm hypothesizing. We'd have to ask a developer to be sure.

It still might be a good idea to keep some healing items on hand if you expect your Shields to go down occasionally.

Do you mean the Cyberpunks? They're meant to be Tech Specialist-like. You can get Shield Hack, after all, and I seem to remember Weapon Hack being a possible ability for Tech Specialists at one point. I believe they can't 'hack' your weapons if you aren't using an Energy Weapon in either slot, but once applied, the status doesn't discriminate. I agree the status lasts too long. And you're right, Weapon and Shield Hacking don't make sense.

PS: Did you mean to have a large font size?

Why do you even use IE? I considered using this browser on a regular basis almost a myth ...

Edited my old posts, if I'm not mistaken. It seems that the problem is with tags with missing symbolss which the system adds by itself instead of prohibiting the publication of a message. And then forbids me to edit as it was originally intended. It seems like I need to get used to using the preview before publishing ...

Not so long ago there was a check.


Sorry about that. At least we don't have to fight the Quadommes on the way to Taivra's palace. Praise Be to DrunkZombie.

Everything is in order, it is better to remember this. And be careful in deep caverns ...

Who is the Drunk Zombie and what exactly did (s)he do?


It still might be a good idea to keep some healing items on hand if you expect your Shields to go down occasionally.

Will it help? Bianchi first-aid kits, at their almost absurd price, are somehow weak.
It might make sense to change weapons to that vampire bow, but I have not tried using it yet.

In theory, worked B.D.S. should put an end to almost any ordinary battle, of the opponents you mentioned with the reset of lust while I met only Storm Lancer.

Somehow I did not pay attention to the name both times. For the first time, the use of weapons was cut off for several moves. The second turned off the ability.

At first, I thought that the replacement of the techno specialist’s abilities took place with more useful and relevant ones. But it looks like we have been TAKEN AWAY the potentials that very much facilitate some fights ...

PS: Did you mean to have a large font size?

Nothing, it happened by accident/quirk of system. Copying the tag {QUOTE} I accidentally missed the opening bracket at the beginning and end of one of the quotes. An attempt to edit the message was denied. I created a new message with the ban text, then copied the text from the old message and removing it, inserted the copied text into a new one with the ban text. The message turned out to be in bold in addition, but I noticed and removed it.

And then I put the ban text in a quote, it was different from the one that looked without a quote, but I was (again) banned from editing the message...

Who is the Drunk Zombie and what exactly did (s)he do?
DrunkZombie is a volunteer coder who has done a lot of work on the game.
Of note:
1. Prevented the Bothrioc Quadommes* from apprearing on their squares until the quest they're involved in is started.
2. Created the item storage in Steele's apartment on Tavros.
3. Recently (0.8.063) coded a quest and area for Uveto that had been sitting in the general To Code list for 4 years.
*If you don't remember, Quadommes are level 9, start their encounter with a Physique check to avoid being caught in their web (if you failed, you'd have to keep trying to escape before you could do anything else) and spammed high-damage Lust attacks. If you lost too many times, you would auto-lose forever after. They appeared on fixed squares in the Deep Caves, and you had to go through at least one of those squares to progress the story on Myrellion. I, and many others, hated them as the Gripes thread will attest.

Will it help? Bianchi first-aid kits, at their almost absurd price, are somehow weak.
Bianca moves planets every 7 days. Her items are expensive at first, but later planets are easier to make money on. You get 3 uses out of Field Surgeon's Kits. If your Shields are breaking frequently, buying some might be a good idea, unless you want to Rest for 4 or more hours every so often. Healing Poultices from Korg'ii Hold on Uveto are better (and much cheaper, oddly), but you have to get to Uveto, first (obviously).

At first, I thought that the replacement of the techno specialist’s abilities took place with more useful and relevant ones. But it looks like we have been TAKEN AWAY the potentials that very much facilitate some fights ...
We traded Volley for Charge Weapon. I'm pretty sure Charge Weapon is better. I'm not sure Hack Weapon would be as useful as you might think:
1. Enemy has to have an Energy Weapon.
2. Smuggler's Disarming Shot doesn't work on certain enemies it would render harmless (Corona Lord Flamer, for instance), because it would render them harmless. I'm pretty sure the same would be true for Hack Weapon.

Why do you even use IE? I considered using this browser on a regular basis almost a myth …
I'm too lazy to change, but it's looking like I'll have to eventually.

Not so long ago there was a check.
I advise downloading/installing a second virus-checker, if you haven't already. Your default program likely won't catch everything, no matter how good. And if something did slip through, it doesn't seem likely the program would catch it later.

Edit: The new Uveto Quest has a bonus for Attack Drone Tech Specialists:
After fighting the damaged AI, you can salvage the Laser Turrets for Laser Drone for Burning damage.

Praise to the Drunk Zombie!

2. Created the item storage in Steele's apartment on Tavros.

In the nursery? Interestingly, in the palace of Queen Tairva, too, he added? At the expense of the nursery, I do not remember, but in the apartments of Tairva there was initially no storage, as I recall.

3. Recently (0.8.063) coded a quest and area for Uveto that had been sitting in the general To Code list for 4 years.

Are you talking about fishing and a long-existing fishing rod? In one of the topics I saw something about this, but did not pay attention to the name of the author.

They appeared on fixed squares in the Deep Caves, and you had to go through at least one of those squares to progress the story on Myrellion. I, and many others, hated them as the Gripes thread will attest.

I did not encounter them (Apart from version 0.6.58, I was on Myrellion only in version 0.6.40, which seems to have only Bothrioc Pidemme. At least Ara Kei is absent in this version), but I already read it on the wiki. It seems like https://wiki.smutosaur.us/TiTS/Tanis's_Bow +Concussive Shot is highly recommended in a fight with them? By the way, you don’t know what damage this ability has? It looks at first glance better than the similar ability of a tech specialist.

Bianca moves planets every 7 days. Her items are expensive at first, but later planets are easier to make money on. You get 3 uses out of Field Surgeon's Kits. If your Shields are breaking frequently, buying some might be a good idea, unless you want to Rest for 4 or more hours every so often. Healing Poultices from Korg'ii Hold on Uveto are better (and much cheaper, oddly), but you have to get to Uveto, first (obviously).

I was very few at Uveto, have not yet gotten used to it, and I do not know the whole map. As for Bianca, her first-aid kits are somehow weak. And do not work in battle.

And in any case, I often have to rest to restore energy, because I often spend more on problem fights than restore in them by ability.

We traded Volley for Charge Weapon. I'm pretty sure Charge Weapon is better. I'm not sure Hack Weapon would be as useful as you might think:
1. Enemy has to have an Energy Weapon.
2. Smuggler's Disarming Shot doesn't work on certain enemies it would render harmless (Corona Lord Flamer, for instance), because it would render them harmless. I'm pretty sure the same would be true for Hack Weapon.

1. At least somehow it would help, unlike a shield blinding twice during a battle. But...
2. Probably here you are still right. This is given to enemies with abilities with a close to 100% chance of tripping and often unlimited use. And for us (the players) there are only limitations. After all, it is "not interesting" / "harms the balance". Therefore, such abilities would act exclusively on those whom it is easy to defeat without it...

By the way, about annoying abilities. Slyveren Slavebreaker also turns out to be able to disable weapons and abilities. The idea is saving rolls on intelligence + will, but I do not remember successful ones.

And Snake Grapple of some damn thing is never removed from the first Static Burst ... Yes, with an outfit from Shizuya I can remove all 300 health + 300 shields with one (double) attack on a frozen enemy. But these damn her abilities form just an unfair bunch, which she can defeat simply without a chance of resistance ...

No, I definitely need to buy B.D.S. and replace it with something else only for certain opponents ...

I advise downloading/installing a second virus-checker, if you haven't already. Your default program likely won't catch everything, no matter how good. And if something did slip through, it doesn't seem likely the program would catch it later.

If you mean Windows Defender by default program, then I don’t rely on it, I have an antivirus.

Edit: The new Uveto Quest has a bonus for Attack Drone Tech Specialists

Nice.

P.S. Only I have these Bored Jumper cause associations with https://wiki.smutosaur.us/CoC/Loppe?

It seems that the Gray Prime battle became much harder, since she has no body preferences for teasing and so without focusing on libido lust damage is abysmally small and rare, turning the once easily teasable encounter into a slog. I'm assuming this was intentional?

Never defeating her through lust.

I also do not know how to respond to a change in the seduction system. It is also somewhat surprising that a stripped character gets a plus to libido. Yes, in undressed state the enemy can see better, but this change in this way LIBIDO is still strange.

UPDATE. In thought, https://wiki.smutosaur.us/TiTS/Crystal_Goo_Incubator became an unpleasant adversary, once successfully and easily teased, if necessary. Now lust + 0. Thus, the forceful invasion of Queen Tairwa’s palace became harder ...

Remember that higher Libido increases your Tease success rate.
Just tested.
1: 3 Libdio: Easy (Ice Cold + Atma Armor)
2: 26 Libido: Easy
3: 16 Libido: Really hard.

In the nursery? Interestingly, in the palace of Queen Tairva, too, he added?
It's in the nursery apartment on the second floor. The same space as the Shower and Maternity Wait. And yes, you can access it in Queen Taivra's Palace if you marry her and become a Nyrean Royal.

I was very few at Uveto, have not yet gotten used to it, and I do not know the whole map. As for Bianca, her first-aid kits are somehow weak. And do not work in battle.
First, you must enter a cave (any cave). There is a chance a 'Cold Korgonne' will be there. If she's not, either go to a different cave, or leave and re-enter. Give the Korgonne a Heat Belt, Arctic Warfare Belt or Insulated Coat. She will tell you how to enter Korg'ii Hold. It's to the West and North of the Maxcorp Probe. It's a light blue square with a star on it. Visit the Korgonne you helped on the top floor (South of where you are automatically escorted to when entering the Hold). Talk and Explain Credits. It will take a day or so, but after that the Korgonne shops will accept Credits. Healing Poultices are H.P. in Nenne's menu. She's the North shop in the South Tunnel (on the floor with the Entrance/Exit to Korg'ii Hold).

And in any case, I often have to rest to restore energy, because I often spend more on problem fights than restore in them by ability.
I find it helpful to use Deflector Regen even in easy fights if I'm missing Energy.

Tech Specialists probably have the hardest time with Energy Management. Zil Honey would be great, if you could buy it. Gold Myr Nectar restores 55 Energy, and is pretty cheap. Honey Wine is more expensive, but can be used to increase your Maximum Energy by 30 (Wiki says 50 if used twice, doesn't work?) for 48 hours. Does not stack in inventory, 2nd drink does not refresh duration.
If you're not adverse to lactating, if you have a certain amount of milk, Hand Milking will restore Energy. Mega Milk guarantees you always have 40% of your maximum Milk capacity. If you get the right numbers, you can restore all (-5) of your Energy via Hand Milk at any time. ~3200 mLs is enough, maybe less. If you have Energizing Libido or Amazonian Needs, you don't lose any energy at all.

It seems like https://wiki.smutosaur.us/TiTS/Tanis's_Bow +Concussive Shot is highly recommended in a fight with them?
Concussive Shot forces an Aim vs Physique check or Stun and adds 15(?) Burning damage. 25 Energy. Works only with Bows.
Overcharge is an Intelligence vs Physique check and doubles your damage. 20 Energy. Works with any Energy weapon.
Bothrioc Pidemmes and Quadommes both have 18 Physique.
In general, the check for status inflicting attacks seems to be:
(Attacker Attribute / 2) + (random number between 0 and 20) + 1 vs (Target Attribute / 2) + 10
If Attacker has the higher number, the status is inflicted.
Oddly, Concussive Shot is implemented with Attacker and Target reversed. If I'm reading the math right, that results in the target having a slightly higher chance of resisting.

Yes, but when the effectiveness of seduction depends ONLY on the libido (and perk, which can be obtained only when creating a character) - this is somehow not the case. I would understand if libido would give a plus to seduction, but replace the skill with pure sexuality/cold-bloodedness ...

And yes, you can access it in Queen Taivra's Palace if you marry her and become a Nyrean Royal.

It seems that I expressed myself insufficiently accurately. To rephrase: did he also make a vault in the apartments of Queen Tairva or someone else?

[Korgii Hold

Thank you.

This is when they are easy. But when Corona Flamer or Slyveren Slavebreaker meets five times in a row ... This (Slyveren Slavebreaker) nasty abilities in disabling weapon and abilities are just enraging. I would think about turning into a “Cum cow” (for the sake of +20 intelligence / increased saving rolls), but I have already finished my work on Zheng Shi. By the way, it’s funny that the probe cannot be taken even with a hijacked ship, but the children born are taken from there.

Gold Myr Nectar restores 55 Energy, and is pretty cheap. Honey Wine is more expensive, but can be used to increase your Maximum Energy by 30

Oh, exactly, it was in version 0.6.40! But I just forgot about it, as well as about Tanis and his training in bow. Speaking of which. Does memory fail me, or did this bow once have 14 damage?

Opposed Check Math

Hmm, does this mean that the probability of freezing by a fire suppression system also depends on my aim?

Yes, but when the effectiveness of seduction depends ONLY on the libido (and perk, which can be obtained only when creating a character) - this is somehow not the case. I would understand if libido would give a plus to seduction, but replace the skill with pure sexuality/cold-bloodedness ...
I've been meaning to test the interaction between +Sexiness equipment and Ice Cold. Because +Sexiness now adds to Libido, but Ice Cold makes low Libido more effective for Teasing, does +Sexiness give a net gain or loss in effectiveness?
All of my characters so far have been lo Libido. I don't think passive Lust gain has been changed for high Libido, but I do plan on testing that. If it hasn't I hope it's looked at when they remove the minimum Lust requirement for sex scenes.
An easy way to raise Libido is to use the Savicite Dildo (Trade 3 Savicite Chunks to Kiona). If you go over your target, just use Chill Pills.

It seems that I expressed myself insufficiently accurately. To rephrase: did he also make a vault in the apartments of Queen Tairva or someone else?
He did, yes. You have to marry Queen Taivra to access it, though. It's the same storage as the Tavros apartment.

Thank you.
You're welcome. I'm glad my descriptions were clear.

Once you've gotten to the Forge (past the Elevator), there's little reason to hang around the Mines. Especially after the Robot Blackjack Dealer's Custom Bet means you can have effectively unlimited money, so you don't have to fight Mining Robots for gems. I know this doesn't help now, but if you want to release the slaves with the minimum of trouble, you can come back and release them after you've done everything else you need to do. The control is still there. The Flamer is annoying, yes.
You do take the Probe with you if you hijack the Sidewinder, you just can't sell it. Check Storage, you should see a Cargohold button.

Oh, exactly, it was in version 0.6.40! But I just forgot about it, as well as about Tanis and his training in bow. Speaking of which. Does memory fail me, or did this bow once have 14 damage?
I'm unaware of any changes to Tanis' Bow. That doesn't mean there weren't any.

Hmm, does this mean that the probability of freezing by a fire suppression system also depends on my aim?
No, the chance of Deep Freeze depends only on if the target has Freezing Resistance (50% if they don't, 20% if they do). Likewise, Stun Chance weapons have a 1/5 chance to Stun on each hit regardless of your stats (or the target's stats).

They're essentially invulnerable against most anything else, though. Especially if they have a Stun weapon. 40 Shields/Stun is extremely powerful. How often do you use Second Wind? I find myself hardly ever using Deflector Regen. Or even Charge Weapon. I can reliably defeat the Shock Hopper* with 3 Physique, The Custom Shock Gear, Reaper MK 1 Shield and Augment-Weave and Attack Drone (i.e. I potentially could have 165 more Shields, +50 Shield Aug Bracers, +10 Modded Yellow Clothes) and no Deflector Regen or Shield Boosters. Just the regen from Stuns. Granted, that character canFly so the auto damage is avoided. I might try without it sometime.
*Immune to Electric damage.

If random Stuns aren't working, there's also Paralyzing Shock. Or Overcharge.

Even before 10, Tech Specialists are extremely durable. Deflector Regen (and Power Surge, but who takes Power Surge?) scales with Level, Intelligence and Maximum Shields.

Aww I'm just teasing. I'm well aware of the inherent strengths of the shield tech though imo they are way too dependent on specific gear which planet-locks optimal shield tech builds.

They're actually not. If anything, I think they're the least gear-dependent class. They're also mono-stat. Especially if they went Melee. There's also the difference between 'optimal' and 'viable'.

Charge Weapon means your base weapon damage (or Physique) doesn't matter for the most part. You can concentrate on flags or Accuracy or whatever. I don't think there are any early game enemies that have any significant resistance to Electric (and many that are vulnerable), and by the time there are (Zheng-Shi), you can have the CSG/Rat Rod/Lighting Rod for Stuns. Even then, Charge Weapn still does enormous damage to enemy Shields, even if it won't do much HP damage.

I went Attack Drone (effectively means you only get 2 Shields/level if you actually want Tam-Wolf/Siegwulfe/the new Laser Drone), and I was rather durable. Which leads me to believe that someone that actually took Shield Booster wouldn't care that much about their Shields (+10/level), and so could concentrate on Resistances. In my testing (at level 8), I struggled against the Janeria (I had 25 Physique). A Shield Tech could have brought the Ozone Aegis and had 150 Shields (170 at level 10), and 20% Resistance to Electric. I was using the Reaper, so I only had 131 Shields and a 25% weakness. They wouldn't have had the extra damage from the Laser Drone, though.

My upgrade path goes:
Dress Clothes->Atma Armor->Augment-Weave (I'm not sure how nessesary it actually is. If I go back to the Mines, I switch back to the Atma, to avoid the Bored Jumpers Lust attack).
Knife->Vanae Spear/Electrified Shock Blade->Vamp Blade->Custom Shock Gear (which I don't see changing unless/until there's another Stun+Crushing+Bonus Hit Rate)
Decent JoyCo->'Hammer'->Reaper MK 1 (I could get the Pirate Prototype, but I've been able to do everything without it).

Smugglers want Evasion, which takes awhile to get going. They're great once they have > 50%. Until then, Stealth Field Generator will have to do, but it needs to be reactivated every few turns, which also cuts into Blinding with Flash Grenades and capitalizing on the Blind/actually doing damage.
I find they also really benefit from a Stun weapon, which limits Ranged Smugglers to the Shock Bow. Melee Smugglers have more and better choices.

You now start on Mhen'ga, remember? You'd have to go back for it. You'd also need 5300 Credits to buy one from Vhan. Even the new Pampered won't cover it (2500 Credits). And I don't need the Steele Tech Uniform is the point.

Beth's Busty Broads. Not sure why anyone cares about the passage of time. It will never mean anything save for a a few selective quests.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of starting on Mhenga at all. I won't even finish Mhenga until I have Ramis on board and/or Lifetime pass at Ten Ton Gym.

You and your whoring. Here I am trying to make the point that Tech Specialists are very gear independent, and you're trying to get me to buy more gear. I'm on to you! Well, it won't work, I tell you.

Also, working at Beth's Busty Broads isn't suitable for all characters.

Supposedly, they're going to rework how you get credits on Mhen'ga. You really don't need all that much money to start with anyway. All the good upgrades are free. ZK Rifle, Electrified Shock Blade/Vanae Spear and Atma Armor. Decent JoyCo (maybe) isn't as necessary anymore since the Basic now has 14 Shields. Even if it still is, it's affordable even with 250 from Austere, let alone any other upbringing.

No, the recently-implemented Deepsea Biolab Quest. The fishing stuff was written by Savin, and he only completed and submitted it recently.

No, Couch wrote it. It's been finished for over four years and it was floating in the backlog.

I've been meaning to test the interaction between +Sexiness equipment and Ice Cold. Because +Sexiness now adds to Libido, but Ice Cold makes low Libido more effective for Teasing, does +Sexiness give a net gain or loss in effectiveness?

This is an interesting question. So the plus to sexuality from items still works? According to the description of the patch, it seemed to me that no. But it seems that I just read it inattentively.

Update. I checked the combination of sexual equipment (Allure + Whip + Underbust corset + thong) with cold-bloodedness. By the effectiveness of seduction Kerokoras is very likely to increase. But I’m definitely not sure that further experiments are needed.

An easy way to raise Libido is to use the Savicite Dildo (Trade 3 Savicite Chunks to Kiona).

Thanks, though I prefer a relatively “pure” path without being a sexy monster therefore I want to keep my libido to a minimum and sleeping only with those I like.

Speaking of legibility. Several times without any of the opponents not sleeping inexplicably received STD. When I got tired of meeting with Corona Lord Flamer, I gave up and started having sex with her just so that the next time she was not hostile. It didn't help much, however, usually the next meeting was less than an hour later ... During this time, I got sick only once. HOW does it even work ?!

If you go over your target, just use Chill Pills.

* Sigh * I had no doubt that I had forgotten something, but this ... I immediately recall the Corruption of the Champions, where I learned about the presence of https://wiki.smutosaur.us/CoC/Numb_Rocks after defeating the Demonic Queen...

However, in any case, I went through most of the battles without the help of these pills. And where they may help, it was precisely MAY, the enemy gave out too much damage by lust per turn, If my memory serves me..

Once you've gotten to the Forge (past the Elevator), there's little reason to hang around the Mines. Especially after the Robot Blackjack Dealer's Custom Bet means you can have effectively unlimited money, so you don't have to fight Mining Robots for gems.

In this case, I was not looking for money. I reached the tenth level and was going to spend some time in the gym raising stats to 50. Augment-Weave Armor looked useful in this matter. It took me ten days to search, then it was received in two battles in a row. I chose not to sell the second, but to give Reaha. How would she react if she knew that this armor costs a dozen times more than the remain of her debt?

You do take the Probe with you if you hijack the Sidewinder, you just can't sell it. Check Storage, you should see a Cargohold button.

I mean the same. They do not take it despite the fact that they only need to unload this probe from the ship. I already really have nothing to spend this money on (However, Paige needs REALLY a lot to restore vision), but the fact itself is surprising.

Likewise, Stun Chance weapons have a 1/5 chance to Stun on each hit regardless of your stats (or the target's stats).

So our physics doesn’t give stun save rolls too? This is bad...

Granted, that character canFly so the auto damage is avoided.

But we still don’t have the ability to avoid melee damage while flying?

*Immune to Electric damage.

Does this mean that Eitan is not a particularly serious adversary? Speaking of whom, I am very surprised that according to the wiki he is Karma Houdini: in case of defeat, no one will spare Captain Steel, but here in the case of victory we spare him and can even, for some reason, take him to the team.

Although, speaking of murders, with the exception of thugs, did Captain Steele kill anyone? I can only remember Amara killed by Kara (Yes, not even we killed her!) And the opportunity to leave Dr.Teyaal to die after a third victory over her.

My upgrade path goes:
Dress Clothes->Atma Armor->Augment-Weave (I'm not sure how nessesary it actually is. If I go back to the Mines, I switch back to the Atma, to avoid the Bored Jumpers Lust attack).
Knife->Vanae Spear/Electrified Shock Blade->Vamp Blade->Custom Shock Gear (which I don't see changing unless/until there's another Stun+Crushing+Bonus Hit Rate)
Decent JoyCo->'Hammer'->Reaper MK 1 (I could get the Pirate Prototype, but I've been able to do everything without it).

Vamp blade is better for you Lightning Rod? It seems that I, too, should have changed weapons after arriving at Myrellion ...

Might want to change the starter path to Steele Tech uniform, since they're now available at any level on Tavros and Uveto

This is strange, in the past this armor could be bought from Anno for 3850. Now for 5830. And for 5300 from Vahn. Madam Logic, where are you, I don’t see you ?! Why did the seller available later increase the price?

You now start on Mhen'ga, remember? You'd have to go back for it. You'd also need 5300 Credits to buy one from Vhan. Even the new Pampered won't cover it (2500 Credits). And I don't need the Steele Tech Uniform is the point.

At first, I thought that it was me who, flipping through the prologue, automatically went flying.

At first, buying this armor really lacks money. But after returning from the Mhen'ga ... At the same time, it will be possible to buy out the Reaha contract and visit Aina and Fyn.

Not sure why anyone cares about the passage of time.

Aesthetic / roleplay motifs?

Yeah, I'm not a fan of starting on Mhenga at all.

Similarly. You can, for example, spend money on https://wiki.smutosaur.us/TiTS/Allure and sexy lingerie. Delay, but small and pays for itself. If we recall the already mentioned Aina and Fyn ...

Supposedly, they're going to rework how you get credits on Mhen'ga.

Which way, to reduce or increase? Now, after completing my affairs on the planet, I now had about 10K+, which was enough for armor and Reaha.

You really don't need all that much money to start with anyway. All the good upgrades are free.

But useful purchases are still possible. In addition, Tavros has not only merchants ...

When I said recently, I was referring to the fishing stuff. Sorry for the ambiguity.

Probably because Anno is a normal vendor and thus has a sell markup greater than 1 (hence the increased price), while Vahn and Synphia are ship part vendors and thus have a sell markup of 1. As for previously being cheaper, that's probably because its base price was lower back then (currently 5300, looks like it used to be 3500).
Although, speaking of murders, with the exception of thugs, did Captain Steele kill anyone? I can only remember Amara killed by Kara (Yes, not even we killed her!) And the opportunity to leave Dr.Teyaal to die after a third victory over her.
Steele has the option to kill Taivra if they beat her in combat; same with the Frostwyrm. During Bess/Ben's final event, they will automatically kill one of the kidnappers if they have either: a high enough aim and a non-lust ranged weapon, or a high enough physique and no ranged weapon; they can also choose to destroy the kidnappers' ship immediately afterwards, killing those onboard. The Black Void Juggernaut in KQ2 also dies when beaten, even if he's beaten by lust, though it's not explicitly stated whether Steele or Kara killed him (I guess the assumption is "whoever last dealt health damage to him"). There's also the options to destroy Tarkus and/or Myrellion. Aside from those (and leaving Teyaal, as you mentioned), there are no other instances I know of where Steele's actions cause confirmed sapient deaths.
Also, Amara doesn't die at the end of KQ2. Under the correct circumstances, Shade's first-time Uveto meeting can reveal that she was merely hospitalised.

I don't know if I'd take the effectiveness of Teasing on early game enemies as proof it will work later.

If it was Sneezing Tits, it's because they sneezed on you. Maybe. Did you Wait? You do know that Dr. Lash can make you immune, right?

She probably knows you're rich. She just doesn't want to remain in debt.

I'm sure they'll get around to writing it eventually, although it seems like an easy thing to write...

So our physics doesn’t give stun save rolls too? This is bad...
I'm pretty sure no enemies have Stun weapons, and all enemy abilities do allow a save, factoring in Steele's stats.

But we still don’t have the ability to avoid melee damage while flying?
Because it would be overpowered. More specifically, it would be effectively mandatory if you want to be 'optimized'. Or they'd have to design the game around it. No enemy could be without a Ranged attack.

Does this mean that Eitan is not a particularly serious adversary?
I never noticed him having 90% Electric Resistance. By that time, I think I already had the Custom Shock Gear.

Speaking of whom, I am very surprised that according to the wiki he is Karma Houdini: in case of defeat, no one will spare Captain Steel, but here in the case of victory we spare him and can even, for some reason, take him to the team.
Because he's hot. Hot guys can always be reformed. Don't you watch TV/Movies/read Romance novels?
Ugly guys can't, obviously.
Also, unless you intervene, he doesn't get released early.
You actually can lose to most encounters and continue the game. It's mostly bosses that give a Bad End if lost to. And most of those result in Steele being taken prisoner, not killed.

Vamp blade is better for you Lightning Rod? It seems that I, too, should have changed weapons after arriving at Myrellion …
I wasn't using the FZR at that point. I really don't worry too much about being 'optimized'. I just care about 'viable'. I went Attack Drone in part because conventional wisdom said it was inferior to Shield Booster, and I wanted to see just how bad it was. Result: It's perfectly viable. In fact, I find it to be so sturdy, I suspect Shield Booster is overkill.

Aesthetic / roleplay motifs?
Or it's easier to just get Mhen'ga done with and move on to actually profitable planets. Tarkus alone is a huge jump in income. Wander around the Stellar Tether area and fight Sex Bots for Hammer Shields, collect Grey Goo samples (>=20 Intelligence) and Slutshrooms/Motherhusks/Spunkshrooms. Best if you recruit Anno, but why would you not recruit Anno? Best merchant in the game.
That said, you can get a guaranteed 17K on Mhen'ga. 10K from the Probe, 5K for the Oxonium Deposit in the South Jungle, 2K for returning the Satellite Hard Drive. I recently learned Kase doesn't start his leaving timer until you talk to him in Burt's.
Another 2K if you feel like kidnapping and enabling a Soulless Corporation's Sapient Experimentation.

Similarly. You can, for example, spend money on https://wiki.smutosaur.us/TiTS/Allure and sexy lingerie. Delay, but small and pays for itself. If we recall the already mentioned Aina and Fyn …
Yes, you can, but I find Naleen are already easily Teased at level 1, as long as you have tits (and a fantastic way to get XP for levels 2 and 3). If you really want to make money on Mhen'ga buy the Jungle Lure to increase Encounter Rate. Either go North and search for Zil (and their Honey/Rations) or South for Vanae Spears and Strange Eggs (sell the Strange Eggs to V-Ko for 750. Don't take them off planet). Unfortunately, you can't sell Vanae Spears for anything near what they're worth on Mhen'ga, so keep them to sell to Anno after recruiting her. They're worth as much as 'Hammer' Shields.

Which way, to reduce or increase? Now, after completing my affairs on the planet, I now had about 10K+, which was enough for armor and Reaha.
Given the context, I'd guess increase. It was fine when there wasn't anything to buy anyway, but we're long past that point.
