Can anyone explain what the Shield stats on armour are trying to convey? 66/33 type 2, etc.

Where can I get "smelly rags"? No option to produce, not on the market. (required for freak recruit manufacture)

also, what is "custom stealthsuit"? I can buy them, but can't equip or research.

The game doesn't make this very clear, but the stealthsuit is for syns. And very useful it is, too.

The vault doors are very tough, so explosives aren't very reliable, plus you have to access each individual vault, up to three of them. I use a heavy chainsaw to cut my way in since it uses no ammo, but it's, well, heavy. Stamina is the stat for this map.

Odd question:
Where is this 'Robber' armor? I can't find it in the current patch.

Thieving outfit. Also oddly useful for Organ Grinder.

It's just internal name weirdness, the codes should still work for getting to the final mission.

Yeah, I figured that out after a while. I don't get why that one code is special-cased, but if it works, it works I guess.

That is the purpose of a pagefile, after all - to be "virtual" memory.

Well yeah. I'm just wondering why the standard solution isn't working for other players.

So I just broke and interrogated a guildmaster and he gave me some Cydonia Codes, but they're marked [Irg.]. I assume this means Irregular and that they're therefore useless. The tech viewer claims the actual codes item is literally an item. Where do I find this?

My toaster has 1GB of memory. While it takes god-damn ages to load, like the thick end of ten minutes, it does run the game fine (although tabbing back in makes things chug again for 2 minutes). The excess just seems to get hauled over into pagefile, judging by the industrious amount of HDD usage.

I cant even figure out what will hurt mercs, as a troll species they have most of the issues covered. Big guns nope.. explosives nope.. plasma shotgun nope.. generally melee is a nope too because they'll shoot you before you get close (and its always gauss and flechette). And thats just for the normal ones - then they get their own power armor dudes out after you. Im lucky in my last 2 playthroughs neither them nor the ethereals have been all that active.

I started off by patiently ambushing them with melee. I started off playing with a melee/pistols approach and it trains Reactions up fast, so if you do have to rush them they won't fire anyway. They respond well to lasers, chem, plasma and cutting, so if I was having to fight them regularly from early on I'd probably use magnum chem and the arena flak launcher.

My first foray against mercs dropped me 5 vibro-axes and a vibrosword so I've mostly ignored guns against them. By the time I had better firearms I didn't really need to fight them any more.

Still can't get the skull to work, and for that matter the Moloch armor doesn't seem to restore Energy like it's supposed to either.

I don't want to fight another heavy freighter army, gawd.

And I didn't know about the zero-TU button, thank you. That helps a lot.

Couple of questions.

-How do Crystal Skulls work? I found one in a bank robbery and I can't get it to work no matter where I place it in inventory, with melee or ranged, or on any target regardless of Mind resist.

-I'm bottlenecked by a tech item called Secure Freight. Is this an actual object or is it a mislabelled tech topic like Academy Hierarchy that I ought to edit?

-Is the existence of weapons with massive explosive radius that have Snap Fire a joke sent by the Demon Gods to test us? I don't dare wear my new suit of Destructor in case she nukes herself or someone else by accident. My first introduction to Baby Nukes was the entire enemy force wiping themselves out in one shot.

-Am I allowed to have this much fun with an early mammoth chain shotgun unlock?
