I know exactly how you feel on the ammo front, I was hoping since all the guns seem to be plasma/laser, the Novakids would craft bullet weapons that would require ammo to sort of fit in with their overall theme. It would also be nice to have some form of ammunition so that you could potentially run out and be stuck without any on a harsh planet or something. Having ammo would also help the balance seeing as the Novakids are going to be the only race that can craft guns.
They craft guns, guns that are balanced personally by the devs, But that means.... That means.... GUNS WILL BECOME VIABLE!!! YES On a less absolutely ecstatic topic, any spoilers as to what special effect novakid armor is planned to have once those are implemented?
In an attempt to inspire you guys to consider even any degree of verticality in Novakid ship progression, I'll just leave these images here.
What Kawa means is they're playable in the Nightly builds, not the current stable builds. As to when they will be available in the stable builds, that is uncertain atm.
Dragonith, thank you. That makes a lot more sense then some answers I've seen and I was wondering why I wasn't seeing them in game yet myself. I haven't been poking the nightly builds, though.
I not sure which thread novakid melee weapons were discussed, so I'm just leaving this here: Any chance we're getting a bullwhip? Something that works as a melee weapon and perhaps a short-range grapple? Space-indy would be sooo sweet...
hmm, that is a good question... While they are plasma gases, and that alone would make then hotter than Kate Upton on a g-string, they are well contained within their own membrane, sealed with their brand. And I can't tell how insular their membrane really is...
