#Make more (mainly weapons) borg modules

We got off topic in another thread, so this is mainly to throw out ideas

Borgs! They’re kinda lacking! Borgs are a nice thing to have, and have their uses, but they lack a lot in certain departments.

Imo one of these departments is weapons. The common mercenary has easy access to the merc module, they might get a syndicate one if they’re lucky. Factions each have 3 more, one overlapping, and ADM has a weapon module

That’s a total of 7 guns (8 if you count the martyr module). Which is lackluster at best! And, variety in gameplay is good!

i made a advanced mercenary weapon module at one point, it was a ratel and tintreach that launched you

#

which was half a joke but there arent many 'advanced' mercenary weapons

wet harbor
#

There’s a ton of advanced mercenary weapons

#

That’s

#

That’s what the second weapons research is

There is @vital jacinth (sorry for pinging ya) pr for a merc borg and modules which just needs to be Updated and my way to Old Mercenary Borg Branch whiches memory was sadly corrupted…🥀

wet harbor
#

Probably one of advanced ballistic module (AK and tintreach maybe?) and advanced radbearer/energy module (X-ray cannon and axium)

sleek plinth
#

wait thats fucking great

wet harbor
#

And a basic energy weapons modules, with a laser rifle and like a combat knife

sleek plinth
#

oh yeah i also sprited a galloglach borg for no real reason

wet harbor
#

Mayyybbeee a basic ballistics, with a just whatever ballistic, for more reason to do research

sleek plinth
#

basic ballistics? thats called the normal merc module!

wet harbor
#

Mhm

#

It’s slightly better than that

But not by much

#

Knight module, with a shield and a claymore

sleek plinth
#

but yea the advanced mercenary guns research only have fuckin two weapons
ratel and the 4 gauge

#

and a 4 gauge module certainly sounds like something

wet harbor
#

Also, a module with a pulse rifle or energy shotgun or something that can only be found in NT crates

sleek plinth
#

hell yeah

#

pulse carbine and navy sabre

wet harbor
#

Only issue is that miiight overlap with the advanced TSF module

sleek plinth
#

nah they have the pulse rifle
very different

wet harbor
#

UI module, with the UI rifle (who would’ve guessed) and a hardlight shield

sleek plinth
#

what about the ui plasma sword thingy too

frail parcel
#

yeah

#

fits UI better than the shield does

wet harbor
#

TRUUEEE

sleek plinth
#

hardlight shield and tintreach module

#

The yamls and icons are still in my og merc borg pr feel free to copy paste and put them onto the monolith borg module file

#

The merc borg module sprite is also already done up and merged so just change the sprite directory for the weapon modules themselves and a couple other things

#

I would have done it myself by now but my PC finally went up in smoke, but the new one should arrive around the 11th

#

I wonder if an Incendiary anti-chimera module would be interesting.

vital jacinth
polar ember
#

True, I think that it would be more interesting if there were more specialist modules, like shotgun or sniper variants.

#

Anything is better than what we have now.

wet harbor
#

Even the xray cannon does heat (only 10, but still)

polar ember
#

Huh, I remember chimera being laser resistant.
