What it says in the title. I prefer ranged and I find the Trench shotgun my personal favorite(though steele must be using some crazy space age ammo if she's got 23-25 accuracy with a shotgun)
Do you prefer melee or ranged combat and whats your favorite weapon?

Ranged, looking forward to the Tachyon Cannon but currently use the Salamander Rifle. I actually like the kinetic weapons better but I chose Techie so...
I heard through the grapevine that the Tachyon Cannon is a remnant of an abandoned power armour project- left on the wiki to serve as a reminder. So you might be waiting on that weapon forever.
But how big are the butts? Are they soft or muscle-y? WE MUST KNOW!
Whenever I miss someone with the Secure MP I feel like they did the matrix. Like ive got 30 aim and im using a MP how in the world did I miss?
Tachyon Laser Beam is in the wiki because it's in the game files. It was used to test the (then) new system of weapons dealing multiple types of damage, and was obtainable through the debug room for a while.
I prefer ranged for smugglers and techies, because walking up to big space bogeys and hitting them with a stick sounds a bit weird. Mercenaries can be great at either, so I use both (with different characters). Secure MP is cool enough that I don't mind it being the best ranged weapon, and lava sword is stupid enough to be cool.
Also, the description of the Salamander Pistol just makes me think of the Duck Hunt gun (as it's presumably meant to).
I dunno much about save editing, but since the weapon exists, I imagine it should be. No guarantee it won't break your current or future saves, though.
The names are a bit funky (by which I mean misspelled):
this.shortName = "Tach. Beam";
this.longName = "tacyhon beam laser";
this.description = "a tacyhon beam laser gun";

Not that surprising, since the item in question is two combat overhauls out of date (and was never intended for use in the actual game anyway).
I'm pretty bummed though since the main type of energy weapon I like are the Heavy Beam Cannon types as opposed to the typical laser blasters.
Melee, because I've made a kui-tan Smuggler and couldn't resist specing into Spess Ninja.
Tavria's Spear is an awesome trophy and Vamp Blade wrecks high-tech enemies, so it's a tie between these two.

Charm, when possible. As tech, I prefer to fight smarter, not harder, and my regenerating heavy shields can provide abyss of time to tease. When it comes to battle - burning-based energy gun (Emmy's Best Rifle now) as main weapon and electric-based blade (Vamp Blade now) as side-arm. And Gravidic Disruptor as ace in a hole in case of isolated and insulated enemy.
Less on the charm for me as I try to end battles quickly but otherwise same for me, Range first with Emmy's supped up rifle and vamp blade.
Melee, whenever we get to fighting a giant space metal gear I want to take it down the most low tech way possible. Like when my Mercenary destroyed the machine in the fungal caves by headbutting it.
For now, I prefer Ranged weaponry just because there's more variety. Melee is only so interesting when the majority of your options are varying sizes of blades on sticks.
The Salamander Rifle is my go-to blaster of choice, though I still hold out hope that the Fantasia Foundry Jim submitted will be added eventually.

Predominantly? Seduction. I'd prefer my bedmates to be willing without beating seven kinds of crap out of them beforehand (and that WOULD take some doing, as up until now, I've only discovered six kinds of crap).
For the few fights I can't manslut my way out of, I'll simply grab the nearest blunt object and apply it directly to their forehead for as many times as is necessary for them to stop trying to murder the fuck out of me.

I have no problem teasing my way out of things since all my tease skills are maxed by the first planet, combined with pheromone cloud, a total of 11 sexiness from my items, and 8 mimbranes. I need at most 4 teases to get through any encounter. I just have to actually shoot at bots lol.
Alas, I have been discovered. I was secretly Jim all along.

Lies! Jim was always you! You just got tired of pretending to be Jim, hence why he disappeared for a "vacation". (No but seriously, I'm also still rooting for you and the Fantasia Foundry, great piece of writing that needs to be in already)
