yeah, so the "deuterium poisoning" :o is there to stay, i guess.
or maybe it was an attempt to add some humor to the game.

if we were taking into account all the health concerns none of those soldiers would want to fire the plasma gun without the radiation suit... thats if they could survive the heat being emitted
Captain Bipto:
@ Sophis: Good idea on the tech branch off of research kerrblades for new ammo types. Of the management features in the game, I love the reasearch and equipment screens. I think shotguns could shine with new ammo types. A very versatile weapon because it can load all sorts of different rounds specialized for a job. I also think shotguns should get gas shells, which has been mentioned before.
1.) Upgraded Sabot/Armour Piercing slug
2.) Upgraded Flechettes
3.) Gas Shells, possibly lethal ones though I don't know if lethal gas is planned or not.
In game it can be justified that the shotgun is focused on because just the invasion of laser weapons pretty much shows projectile weapons are being phased out against the alien threat (ok not all). Have the description wax poetic over the shotgun's ongoing useful etc etc.
Love this site.

i have sometimes wondered what a plasma weapon would really be about (sorry if that is not latest real-world weaponry).
tried wiki but didn't get any clue about what those weapons could be like.
do you have a link or something that would explain plasma weaponry a bit?
i was thinking of suggesting reactive armor that would specifically protect against plasma.
it would be covered with tiny explosive charges that would blow the plasma away from the soldier.
but, as i thought about it, i figured out that i have no idea of how a plasma projectile would respond to such tiny explosions or anything.
Darkpriest667:
plasma will melt just about anything.... the radiation output alone would kill you within minutes...
there is no armor to protect you against plasma.. or if there was we'd build probes out of it and send them into the sun..
