Seeing how fire and stun are best friends for capturing people,how about a melee that does fire damage and stun damage?

These never go out of fashion!

Who knows maybe the 5-10 damage of the fire can be dangerous on a melee weapon.

[Yankes]

it can be 0-100. Extended can use normal damage roll for fire.

I've only started playing around with direct-attack Fire damage (check out how the updated Combat Shotgun/Incendiary works, now it's actually pretty sweet IMO), but I agree we should explore this avenue more. And I like the basic idea, only need to figure out where to put it on the research tree, how to rationalize it, and how to stat it.

[doctor medic]

It doesnt need to be a sword made of flames,maybe the gals would think so but it could function diffirently.

I think I just broke Draco's record on hospitalization time (was it 95 days?). Heavy Flamer + Guerilla Armor = BAD.

As I was working on the bootypedia, I go to thinking about the dogs, and how it would make sense for some of the factions to have them to (Spartans, Govt, maybe Raiders).  Of course, then I saw that Dioxine added it in the latest version.

That got me thinking, that it might be nice to have a distinction between the two.  i.e. Different Sprites, and images, etc, and maybe some slight variation in stats. 

So I got working over the Christmas holiday, and worked up a complete set of sprites for the Doberman Guard Dog.  I have a sprite sheet, corpse, bigob Corpse, and an Inv/BigOb.    (There is no ruleset at this time, only graphics)

I'll leave these here and Dioxine can use them for Piratez.  Of course they are free game for anyone else to pick up for their own mods.

Thanks ivan! He just i thought (not a suggestion!) i've seen that humanist soldiers come not equipped, at least at the beginning, with the magneto-plasma gun (a technologically advenced version of the MP-40) so hy not to give it to these, to "complete" the humanists arsenal? Maybe in a "raw" form using standard bullets (dam., complementing to the officier's pistol 19). NO humanists soldier come equipped primairly with random weapons, peraphs that mentioned primitive mp-40 (in game named soldier's smg?) may become the main hardware, instructors should get the battle rifles, since they're more valuable? After some research, the mp-40 may become as it is now?

Only random thoughts, not more

Shouldn't really be based on pirate gals' paperdolls, humans should be based on human inventory pics...

Mp-40 would be pointless since there is spraygun already. And do your homework, Instructors are often armed with batte rifles (or hydra lasers), and MPG is researcheable & manufaturable, albeit only in mid-late game. Also I wouldn't call smg + rifle + machine gun combination 'random', but whatever.

Yeah, good point.  That bothered me a bit.  I'm looking forward to re-working it.

Much, much better, but I forgot to mention... She's supposed to have a Church of Sirius eye in the pyramid on her chest, not some red rectangle
