Salvaging armour?

[kharille]

I know, the guy died and it didn't do him much good.  But hey, you can salvage weapons, it only takes a decapitation or one plasma blast penetration to kill.  Wouldn't it give you a reason to grab your dead  buddy before exiting the skyranger?

[Mr. Quiet]

Yeah, I always wondered what happens to those left over armors from our dead when the clean up crew take over.

I would be happy with just getting some of the material back from making it....I dont think you should just be able to put it on the next bloke

[kharille]

Hm...  well, the guns will get blown in a blast.  So do the corpses.  Ok, even salvaging stuff is an improvement but hardware tends to survive if its not blown up.

Otherwise, why bother saving your buddy for the costly funeral?

I had planned on having a alien impregnate corps oneday to spawn there young, on those missions you would want to pick up your dead solders.

[Mr. Quiet]

Oh wow. That's just evil! I want to see it happen!! So a new alien race or the Chryssalids? I wanna see a new alien race. A really ugly one

[luke83]

A new race ( or maybe a recoloured one), it all depends on time and support from a coder...

I already have 2 different Chrysalids in mind,  One with some Psi-ability ( short range , line of sight , Group panic ability) and another one that can Spit Venom ( and maybe the egg- i need to re-read the biopsy/ story on them first).
