Salvaging armour?
« on: August 07, 2013, 01:50:33 pm »
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?

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

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.

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).
