Do people normally run around with modsuits and thermal pistols as opposed to laser guns, or is this just something I'm too MRP to understand?

N... no? They are saying that modsuit and thermal pistols are more unqiue, but sec runs around with lasers and stun batons.RedBaronFlyer wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 2:57 amDo people normally run around with modsuits and thermal pistols as opposed to laser guns, or is this just something I'm too MRP to understand?

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Laser Gun" bullshit that's going on in the tg station server right now. Thermal pistols deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine thermal pistol in Cargonia for 2.000 credits (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid assistant with my thermal pistol.
Cargonian techies spend years working on a thermal pistols box and emitter it up to a million times to produce the finest guns known to mankind.
Thermal pistols are thrice as hot as laser guns and thrice as cold for that matter too. Anything a laser gun can cut through, thermal pistols can cut through better. I'm pretty sure thermal pistols could easily bisect a secoff wearing full riot gear with a simple pair of shots.
Ever wonder why Security never bothered conquering Cargonia? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Quartermasters and their thermal pistols of destruction. Even in World War VI, Nanotrasen soldiers targeted the men with the thermal pistols first because their killing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Thermal pistols are simply the best guns that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the tg station server. Here is the stat block I propose for thermal pistols:
/obj/projectile/energy/inferno
name = "molten nanite bullet"
icon_state = "infernoshot"
damage = 60
damage_type = BURN
armor_flag = ENERGY
armour_penetration = 20
reflectable = NONE
wound_bonus = 10
bare_wound_bonus = 10
impact_effect_type = /obj/effect/temp_visual/impact_effect/red_laser
/obj/projectile/energy/cryo
name = "frozen nanite bullet"
icon_state = "cryoshot"
damage = 60
damage_type = BRUTE
armour_penetration = 20
armor_flag = ENERGY
sharpness = SHARP_POINTY //it's a big ol' shard of ice
reflectable = NONE
wound_bonus = 10
bare_wound_bonus = 10
Now that seems a lot more representative of the killing power of Thermal pistols in real life, don't you think?
tl;dr = Thermal pistols need to do more damage in tg station, see my new stat block.

I am not sure if I've ever seen a laser gun used for anything that isn't blob/xeno in 11 years

What about an energy saw? I got half of the spiriting done (everything but the mob spriting), and almost all of the code done tonight. It's a belt fitting weapon that does 20 damage (too much? I don't think so.) and has a on/off state with a cell like a baton.
20 is probably fine, same as circular saw but it needs to be charged. Should probably get a bit of a wound bonus toovect0r wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 8:12 amWhat about an energy saw?

should have both! Thermal pistols were a step in making more unique variants of laser weaponry and theres a lot more customization available with the premise of sci-fi laser technology than with ballistic guns we have more tangibility to

It seems like this change was done to specifically push lasers over the 25 damage threshold, meaning every laser shot removes all stun damage, assuming you don't have any armor.
