Meanwhile... in a dark and dusty Room a single Monitor Flickers to life and begins Displaying several lines of text:

If you've got any questions you got on picking items then i'll give you an answer.
Not rolled for two weeks because i've been up to my eyeballs with assignments, but rolls will be more frequent for a good while now.
Also, noting that moonglow has not visited the forums in well over a year, so if after a PM he fails to post within a week or so, then i'll move down the list to the next player. [that's The Chairman]

Are we only allowed to refund items we have bought ourselves, or can we sell looted items as well?
Also, is the Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle a one-shot, long reload type of weapon?

"Thanks for the save, guys. Looks like I owe you one."
Swap the minigun for the linked capacitor PPC and upgrade the medium force barrier to the heavy force barrier.

That should use all eight points. The minigun didn't seem to fare too well against the heavier armour of those bots. Unless we are gonna be dealing with a ton of weak units I don't see a use for it right now.

If the PPC is the same as the one from MechWarrior though, I'm in luck. What kind of damage are we talking about per shot and what kind of damage can the heavy barrier resist? Also, what do the different types of shield resist?

You're only allowed to refund items you bought yourselves, not looted items.
The silver Bullet Gauss rifle has a small magazine and a rather long reload.


The PPCs are high power energy cannons, but suffer damage reduction at close range.
Force Barriers bring up an energy field that conforms to your body that can stop non-psychic attacks of all types, higher rank ones create tougher barriers that also cost less energy% to create. [the medium one could completely negate the impact from a 1-2 ton metal hammer being slammed down on it and only then break]
Static Field Projectors shoot out arcs of energy that intercept incoming non-psychic projectiles, medium and upwards will also shock some approaching hostiles.
Nullifiers stop psychic attacks and anything that is psychic that gets near to them gets ♥♥♥♥ up.

Alright, I've made my decision.

Questions:
-What makes plating better than body armour?
-How much can we carry? Can I buy 10 weapons and just empty one after another and never worry about reloading?
-And lastly, do systems and abilities interfere with each other? Is there a limit on them? Do they draw from a common energy pool? Or can I just buy the cheapest version of all the systems and abilities and become the ultimate Jack-of-all-trades?

1: plating is slightly superior against melee attacks, and also has limited automatic bleed stoppage
2: you could buy a boatload of guns, but then you'd be weighed down and move slower/etc.
3: each item/ability draws from its own energy pool, so yes

Edit:
moonglow2941 has had a week, and hasn't even read my PM, so i'm skipping to The Chairman.

...that seems odd.

In what way is the Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle a "shotgun like weapon"?
