PhoenixFlame Presents: Eclipse Phase

[Krylo]

Hey krooooogo, just a few little suggestions.

Firstly: Tough. It is better than all three of your current positive traits. You should have it.

Secondly: Speed stat is probably the most important combat stat, really.

Thirdly: You are a combat wombat. Get real armor.

[Overcast]

Move over universe the toughest motherfucker to ever grace you has appeared.

Note, the multiple modifications to the body armor can be removed if it is excessive(and it is) but I felt like trying it out anyway.

First: Herm, I don't know why I missed that one.

Second: The only speed boost thing I noticed was the Reflex so I had +1 to speed.

Third: What would you recommend me doing to protect from vacuum to go with good armour?

[Krylo]

On 2: There's others. I don't wanna build your character for you, though.

On 3: Vacuum sealing + Oxygen reserve.

*Cough* Keris is tougher. On a more serious note though, you look a cut above the rest, and more what I was aiming towards having. A few notes...

1.) You can stack second skin and smart skin with armors, but not with each other. Think of your 'slots' being skin, skintight, and armor. So natural, underlayer, and overlayer. Only the outermost layer benefits from modifications. You can have one coating. (Chameleon reflective armor = ?!??!) Otherwise you have people with chameleon lotus-coating reflective glazed fireproofed smart skin under their reflective chameleonic lotus-coated fireproof heavy battle armor.

And nothing smaller than a Naval Gauss can hurt you. Which means your enemies start using those.

2.) Sniper rifles are grossly overpowered compared to basically every other weapon in the entire game, including high explosive armor-piericng missiles.

Because of this, and I apologise for not mentioning it earlier, I've decided to remove their burst and autofire functions to bring them more in line with their function (sniping) and allowing the AR and Machine Guns a place in the world of weapontry. Also, the plasma rifle.

If I didn't, the rail sniper rifle remains the anti-starship DOOM MACHINE that you don't want to be on the other side of.

Edit: Neurachem level 2 and no combat drugs. Kids these days and their expensive toys...

Ok, so I could wear a Smart Vac Clothing, with an Armor vest and finish that off with a a chameleon coating? Cool.

OH BOY, I SURE AM GLAD I BASED THE ENTIRETY OF MY CHARACTER'S COMBAT ABILITY ON THE SNIPER RIFLE. AREN'T YOU GLAD, BILLY?
*Billy nods*
YEP, BILLY'S GLAD TOO. GUESS WE'RE ALL HAPPY, THEN. WELP LOOK AT THE TIME. PLEASE EXCUSE ME, I NEED TO GO REDESIGN MY CHARACTER.

Right O, the armor has been reduced down to having the surface modified to shock folks, the fabric insulated with shock resistance, and a hive to keep it from being reduced to rags...or when it is to eventually bring it back to regular armor.

Still holding onto the sniper rifle because it just feels better than most other primary ranged weapon choices(aesthetic choice once more).

Also yeah...he might have the willpower to be basically immune to becoming an addict but I still don't much like having long term side effects to my speed increase. Just short term ones.

@Krogo: I believe Smart Vac Clothing and the vest fill the same slot. So you don't get to have both on at once.

[krogothwolf]

Alright, Taken Krylo's suggestions and Upped Armour and Got tough lvl 3 and removed fast learner. Changed a few skills to get the CP and extra moola to give myself the Oxygen Reserves, Enhanced Resporation and Vacuum Sealing. Plus Neurochem for speed. But other then that I can't find any other speed modifier besides a morph. Either I'm blinded or I read to much and I'm going crazy!

@Overcast: Where you talking to Gem? As I never mentioned that. But it does say Vest can be worn with other armour clothing without penalty

[Overcast]

I did mean gem, apologies I am currently suffering from a glasses related headache, but yes you are right. I was thinking about body armor. Also a neurachem level 2 and a reflex booster should give everyone the max speed of 4.

[PhoenixFlame]

Yeah, the SR is still an amazingly good weapon, even with it being semi automatic.

I mean, you can still snipe two people a round with it for just under the damage of a full auto burst at point blank.

Edit: Neurachem level 2 + Reflex booster is only 2 [EXPENSIVE] items with a hugely debilitating side-effect. If I were a street thug, I'd just use MRDR and Kick, and knock myself out with Neruachem level 1. It's about an eighth of the cost for the same effect and more, with less side effects.

Why you would need speed 4 is beyond me, though. You can be a perfectly capable death machine with 2.
