Mechalung III doesn't work as advertised

[grävling]

The promise was toxic resistance and +1 body. I'm not seeing +1 body.

Now to walk around town and see if I don't care, or don't care as much, when the roof leaks.

[blackgauntlet]

The +1 body probably only works as a save bonus when toxic stuff goes through your resistance. ;D

[grävling]

Ah, I didn't think of that. I saved all my pennies wanting +1 in the body _stat_ What is the intent here, Cory?

[grävling]

Aha, now I see that it did indeed give me 1 body: the attribute, like str or dex.. It's my fault for expecting 1 physical instead.

I wonder if these lungs give me better toxic resistance than the mechalungs I and II ?
I haven't owned the others. This only seems to reduce the damage you take, so that
a little spill knocks you to 6, and a toxic allergic knocks you to 3. If all of the lungs do
that then I find this set very overpriced, 90K seems a lot for a body point, when mechalung Is
sell for 20K.

I suppose if it were taking me scores of missions to be able to go up a point I'd consider it a bargain, but not at this stage of my game. I suspect I would get bored long before that point and just start a new character, in any case.

Rating III provides absolute 100% protection from the damage.

The other ones provide 30% and 60%.

They also have additional bonuses that are not show.

CyberLung gives you an Endurance bonus, which will help in long fights.

Humanoids (not dogs or drones) suffer from an Init penalty in combat.

CL gives you extra turns with no penalty. CL-3 gives you 3 extra turns

[grävling]

My rating 3 was not giving me 100% protection, then. It is hard for me to report if it was giving me *any* protection, and alas the character that could afford this was the one whose game is now hosed due to the infinite exp points bug. It will take me a while to earn that much cash again.

next patch will fix all -- your character DB, the lungs, etc
