Midaychi Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Simple as the title. Ability to load prepared single tank bombs into pneumatic cannons, launch them, and have them activate when they either hit something or come to a rest (or during flight I guess). That way, toxins can experiment with various single tank mixes. You can make an explosive round(boom mix), a crowd control round(N2O mix), a fire fighting round (Cold N2 mix), a fuck you round (super freezing CO2+N2O mix), or an incendiary round (Burning Plasma and/or oxygen mix). To top it all off, due to the silly way damage mechanics work, you also have a chance of lodging it into someone's wound. Kikikikiki.. Edit: I guess you could also make air replenishment rounds! (Oxygen or nitrogen+oxygen mixes!) Save people from suffocating, or abuse it to cause people to slip n slide around due to air pressure!

mkenner Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 That really is horrifying. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/1413-horrifying-idea-single-tank-bombs-pcannon/#findComment-7318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midaychi Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Needs a special grenade launcher-y sound when you do it, too, so people know you mean business.

Midaychi Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Fun fact: If the pneumatic cannon could ignite cigarettes launched out of it, you could abuse dipping cigarettes in cryostasis beakers to make reactant chemical rounds. Cigarettes don't react their reagents unless lit, and you can use cryostasis beakers to put reagents into cigarettes without reacting them via dipping. Only 15 units of storage, but plenty for a small smoke or foam bomb, or an explosive waterpotassium or nitro bomb. Shame you can't use cigars for the same thing, but with bigger storage capacity.

Midaychi Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 You know what we also don't need? Bola rounds, fire it at someone and if it succeeds, it wraps around their legs and knocks them over, acts as legcuffs. Also Net rounds, capture people in nets! Would need a chance to fail and miss or would be crazy op. They'd need to be constructed ghetto style with stuff around the station. Bonus points if you could also attach a rope to them, so that when you fired the cannon, a rope end appeared in your other hand (or on the ground if other hand is full), which you could use to drag the victim around by.

Fj45 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Wouldn't mind seeing the ERT get a proper nade launcher with a few of the rounds you mentioned and some more offensive ones. Possibly modelled after this classic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkor_MGL Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/1413-horrifying-idea-single-tank-bombs-pcannon/#findComment-7341 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midaychi Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Yeah. Ghetto launcher for the scientists and crafty atmospheric technicians, real launcher for the ERT. Totally cool with that.
