Firing pins for mech weapons

Post by CPTANT » #100875

Why does a hand disabler require a firing pin but a heavy mech laser doesn't? RnD currently just floods the entire station with mechs if there is even 1 dedicated scientist working on it. Having mech weapons require firing pins would tone it a BIT down.

Because you can make infinite gygaxes by throwing light tubes or micromanipulators into a crusher.

1-2 emp's can fuck the battery permanently, which kills the mech unless they can fix it and replace the battery.

Instead of nerfing mechs, why don't you take care of the actual problem. The crusher.
I play Trevor Glomps/Tire Justice.

What he said. Mechs worked forever without firing pins, but Goof's crusher didn't.

No, science already has to get firing pins for RnD, they don't need them for robotics to.

i always figured there were no pins on mech guns because mech guns require a mech in the first place
that being said, with research having been solved and the crusher obsoleting mining on everything but uranium, getting mechs is pretty easy now
i play Lauser McMauligan. clown name is Cold-Ass Honkey
i have three other top secret characters as well.
tell the best admin how good he is

Why is the crusher shooting out all these materials anyways, the only things that should be coming out of that thing is metal,glass and maybe the occasional gold and silver.

Part of some dumb push to make all machines upgradeable, balance concerns be damned.
(goof used all the shitty balance errors he deliberately put in his PR to flesh out the issue count so he could get PR #10,000)

There is one great outcome from this: I rised up the blood pressure of some of you shitheads and lowered your lifespan. I'm honestly tempted to do this more often just to see you screech and writhe more, but that wouldn't be cool of me. So come on haters, show me some more of your high blood pressure please. 🖕🖕🖕

I've had a crusher nerf up for a pretty long time, not sure why it hasn't been merged yet.
