I will produce and test a "NarkoJet" and "Gel Round" weapon type.

So how's this coming along?

[fallen]

sgtcookie - we are working on them. Some of the art has been completed. Testing out balance to make sure that the GS doesn't suddenly "get it all" when they have non-lethal weapons. I always play a murderous slinger, so I have to amend my style a bit to insure these new weapons are good.

[Slide87]

fallen good ^^ we will stun enemies before they could make a *fart* =) no,really,relating to stunning weapons,u will enable critical shots(yep i know they already exist,i tell criticals linked to "one shot=0 mp"),especially in internal missions/places??

[blackgauntlet]

There should be Head Shots since we're at it. ;D

BTW, would all Megacorps bosses be Psionics, Technomancers and gifted Mutants (the Homo Proximus or Homo Supernus; actual humans in the next evolutionary link instead of those horrible genetic mess)?

'Cos I seriously believe it so, since in Shadowrun, only Dragons are powerful enough to be Corporate bosses in that kinda dog-eat-dog world. As there are no Dragons in CK, the next rung of the ladder automatically goes to these people whom are born and not made.

Which bosses besides Lofwyr are you refering to?

[blackgauntlet]

I'm not sure if Dunkelzahn qualifies... but we do have Hestaby as well.

[fela]

She's no corp boss though. Or not of a corp that counts, anyway.

[blackgauntlet]

Yeah, I guess so. But seriously, in such worlds, not only should one have money to do the works, they should also have the ability to safeguard their money personally, since they most definitely have no one that they could trust. And that ability must be so unique/rare that these people could not be challenged by almost everyone on the streets.

I dispute that. It's pretty much a question of the level of indoctrination you're willing to subject your 'trusted' to.

Works well in china right now and north corea is taking it to extremes.
There's no reason why it shouldn't work even better in a future world where walking outside a dome is death and nutrition can only be obtained from your 'sponsor'.

[blackgauntlet]

Let's say that our world is now inhabited with psionics, technomancers and humans on a higher rung of the evolutionary ladder, would you still dispute that? ;D

Remember, I *did* mention "in such worlds" with the context being that there are people out there who are just not normal and could easily wipe out everything you have ever worked for with a single thought. Now, would you trust such a person to work for a "lesser" being like us and not *against* us?

Assuming those are rare enough, I'd imagine some forms of 'pureblood' corps or organizations would exist.

Also others would probably still employ those and just brainwash them even MORE thoroughly, while at the same time keeping them under some other additional form of control. Cranial bombs spring to mind .

Of course, but that would entail them being discovered in the 1st place. To those that can't keep secrets, it just means that Darwinism is at work to kill off those dumb ones.

It's not called natural selection for nothing!
