What do Research players want, is there anything I can do to help convince/motivate/spur-into-action/pressure/manipulate Research players for them to make me flammable chemicals - is there some etiquette I am not doing? I’ve had some luck with asking OT for some of the chemicals if I know it’s in their lab.
Is it just a luck-of-the-draw? It seems everytime I come to Research, I need to roll a D20 and hope for a new Research player who doesn’t know they can say “no” or a Synthetic who has time to waste and they’d rather make me chemicals than hunt for RP.
If I’m not even done setting up hydro and some clown went through their entire reserve of chems in speedrunner fashion and now makes it my problem then I’ll be just a slight, additional provocation away from pulling out the type 73.
Research nowdays it’s nerfed through the ground and it’s nowhere as pleasant as it used to be, but xenos will insist that it’s breaking the game every time a “Godstim” (just NRS1,NST4,TRF7) rolls out to whoop their whiny asses.
Deadass if you want results you either gotta be exceptionally good or you gotta have a full team of skilled researchers.
That’s why researchers lowkey dislike getting requests early on, because they now gotta try their hardest to get anything viable out of research and having that process interrupted in record time is not fun.
Just come past minute 20 and you can feel free to request stuff. Hell if you see me as researcher chances are that by that time I’ll have the turing dispenser pumping out industrial ammounts of Ammonium Nitrate for mass production of ANFO nades.
Researchers are busy folk we got plants to take care of, contracts to do. Simple put if not something that done at ease you are going to be hard pressed to get them to help you. That being said…Just be real patient, ask for what you want and wait. Unless the researcher out right said no they will at some point get to you.
If there’s only ONE researcher and he’s grinding Botany, good luck.
But if there’s more than one and it’s pass the 15 minute mark, I see no reason so long as your polite.
There’s no chance you’ll get it before due to all the chem energy being spent on Botnay.
Hi Combo Napalm is doable but tricky order.
Tell me, how much effect does it have on the battle field?
How do you feel about having HCNaplam bottles made, networked and stored in the chemfridge? How much is really needed?
We should be able to deploy under similar circumstances to the CE (i.e. only when it’s safe/stick to our objectives, not run in guns blazing larping as PVTs) to distribute chems, collect bodies, give marines custom flamer gas and such. We should get our own vendor for armour and perhaps some self defence guns (e.g. pistols). Limit this to maybe 1 researcher deployed. Prohibit deployment if that would leave research lab empty (as in only deploy if more than 1 researcher is up). strictly prevent researchers from just frontlining.
