it's worth noting that's just from a tiny charge using 21st century tech. engineering charges are probably much higher yield (not to mention bigger) with higher quality space liners and shit. in other words if you put this on the mid section of a marauder, the marauder will probably now become 2-marauder

add ur boi

update the relationship on the 8 gauge slug that took his jaw

sure they will. why are a bunch of farmers in the outer colonies going to give a shit about the fed. separatism doesn't always exist in the form of 'fuck the fed, we kill all federal dogs'

if it wasnt clear, nothing big has happened in this iteration regarding skinnies, unless i seriously missed something. separatists will always have a reason to exist. and i never said bugs WERENT smart. i implied they can still get better. there's plenty of unexplored castes and shit.

you can do loads of shit. the bugs get smarter. there's a new separatist faction on the rise. the skinnies have finally emerged. (nobody to my knowledge has done anything big with skinnies, let alone done them properly.)

yeah but imagine doing that. 'okay kids we finished the big bad campaign and saved earth, now we're gonna WIPE the server.' a timeskip would be better.

maybe, maybe not. regardless, questlines (imo) should be the main form of how the server feels lively, campaigns being the result of questlines and the likes. sw was once doing an operation called 'omnicron' and it was the last time i ever really enjoyed bugs in the server. he'd introduced decoy/worker bugs (memory is failing me here) and the drop was stressful. some of the stuff the MI mentioned in the debrief was even mentioned in the wiki page for the operation, which made the whole experience feel even more rewarding.

the solution to removing this staleness you're talking about is to consolidate the lore and run missions pertaining to it in the form of questlines. people like jester, grimm (edited because the welshie blackmailed me) orwell, and SW have done shit like this in the past and it breathed genuine life into the server. an example would be how orwell once off handedly mentioned to me a strain of bugs that evolved to deal with snow and that was genuinely interesting to me. instead of wiping things because it means you can use source material, you have to write your own and align it with the server. on the other hand, even if you DO reset the lore and so on, stick with the source materials, etc, it'll have the same issue. just because people have to RP everything all over again (learning how the bugs work, etc,) doesn't mean they won't already be mentally used to it. it'll be boring. it's like when you see the old NCO types make new characters, they struggle to play rookies (some of them do, at the least.) in other words, this would only be a temporary measure.

remove my character from your smut page, fiend

the mark 2 is prone to barrel overheating and ammunition weight problems. it's also LONG. it's called rp, people RP around the limitations of it. (save for the breaching bit, nobody ever learned not to breach with big guns 4 sum reasun)

yeah except a DMR has a fuck-off huge scope, obscene barrel length, and is LAME

it's worth noting that script wise the mark5 could literally have the same damage value as the morita, and just be roleplayed as better. it isn't a matter of 'special NCO' gun. it's a matter of having alternatives. the mark 2 isn't the end all be all because it's a heavy LMG. if u have 20 people lugging big fat gun, ur no longer the mobile infantry. edited bc i had a big brain 100000 quantum IQ psychic idea. a while ago i pitched that the marauders use low capacity autocannons designed for armored arachnids. eg, marauders would have 20 rounds to fuck up tigers, elite tigers, tankers, etc. the mi would shoot warriors to cover them. the same concept can be applied here. just like the ASH rifle the FSB uses which is basically a 20 round mag, a low capacity, high damage weapon could give incentive to MI types to become 'elite hunters'. u got a damaging gun but u gotta pick ur targets.

yo where tf the OG at

just on the note of ballistic and 'muh realisms', the morita in chronicles / the RPG is a fuckn gauss rifle that still uses cased brass???. at the end of the day all that matters is the pretty space rifle sounds cool, feels cool, and fits the server's direction

that's good and so is this

could probably do with an easy to access timeline dictating how the fed was founded, pages for each alien race (that are expanded as FFRL work on them), and other lore pages. (eg marauders, psychics, pathfinders, engineers, medics.)

this is incorrect it should say Fraco Sorrentomato

if they're facing awkward directions or spazzing out, open console and type "record fix" then type "stop", it should fix it
