I have noticed that i have 13 plasma pistols in my vaults, but they don't show up when i go to equip my ship. Is this a bug?

[Dioxine]

You wished it was a bug. Ever heard of being unable to use weapons without researching them? And no, Assault Rifle isn't the same as Plasma Pistol.

[Foxhound634]

With the sniper rifle i get that it gets a power bonus based on the shooter's firing accuracy, but i just researched the Python HSR, and it has "Power bonus: Firing (AP)". What does the AP stand for?

[Dioxine]

It actually says "POWER Bonus (AP): FIRING*0.3". Now, what are the three ammo types available for this weapon?

EDIT:
@Niculinux: Ye wanted yer Ruger, son, well you may have it. Better be grateful.

Hey Dioxine, instead of cramming everything into one entry, would the _FAUX string trick work to hold the melee information?

STR_S_CARBINE: "Scoped Carbine"
STR_S_CARBINE_FAUX: "Scoped Carbine - Melee" ?

[Dioxine]

Yeah but is this really neccesary? Everything neatly fits into a single line.

Absolutely! Loeve Dioxine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It may be buyable? And the scope would be an upgrade? Thanks Your Highness!!!!!

Yeah i thought about that, but does it mean that the extra power bonus only applies when using the armor piercing ammo, or that the extra damage is of the piercing damage type?

[Arthanor]

It only applies to the AP ammo, I think. I guess saying:

AP Ammo: Power Bonus = FIRING*0.3

might be the clearest if that's indeed the case.

[niculinux]

[...]And the scope would be an upgrade? Thanks Your Highness!!!!!

with the due research, the scoped version may be an upgrade, like occours with the hunting rifle...?

[Dioxine]

No.

[niculinux]

No.

Roger, Cap'n! 

[Foxhound634]

If i'm not mistaken, the next version is not that far away (any estimate?), and i just wanted to know if the saves between versions are compatible, so i do not have to restart when the new version arrives

There's rarely game breaking changes. New missions are the closest it comes to, really. It's likely you'll just discover new research projects that should have been researched a long time ago or some such, and then also have the wealth of new stuff Dioxine added to the mod. It's worth upgrading.
