Well, how does cutting throat with a Thermal Lance sound, then? I'd prefer a less physiological name, anyway (coup-de-grace, as I said earlier).
OK, you win...
Technical name: STR_CUT_THROAT
Translation: Coup de grâce
Mechanics:
1. Take live unconscious unit (enemy/neutral/friend) into one hand
2. Take a melee weapon with melee attack (e.g. a blade) into the other hand
3. Click on the unit
4. Select Coup de grâce
- accuracy 999% is just for fun... indicating you cannot miss
- time units are actual TUs from the melee weapon... which will be also used
- if the weapon requires stamina or other cost, it will also be used up as normal
5. The unit will be executed instantly (you cannot miss and you always kill)
6. A message will appear informing you about the fact
- technical name: STR_TARGET_WAS_EXECUTED
- Translation: Target was executed!
See attached screenshots.
EDIT: ranged weapons with melee add-ons don't work (e.g. Bayoneted Rifle)... it has to be a genuine blade... finally those worthless daggers have some use ;-)
