Equipment/Proposed/Catch-Net

Official Description

If the stunrod doesn't do the trick, this is the weapon of choice for capture of a live alien. The net is deployed by mounting it on a netgun and then firing it at the target. It consists out of vulcanized rubber reinforced with steel wire.

Battle Implications

A soldier equipped with a netgun can immobilize an alien for several turns, depending on the creature type. Strong creatures (ortnok, robot) are able to escape this effect easier than the less muscular ones.
