Title: Backup lasers on an operator
Post by: Kalkkis on October 12, 2016, 03:22:24 AM
After getting it's datajack blown off, an operator got backup lasers as replacement. Though technically correct (mechanics replace lost weapons with backup lasers) maybe this shouldn't happen? Or if it does, should the operator be able to attack with it? Also it got two lasers for some reason. Somehow related to how it didn't get a blown off hover unit replaced?

Hehe, that's a good one! Yeah I agree they should probably be ignored by Mechanics out and about performing repairs. Operators aren't meant to engage in combat--the Mechanic is just finding any nearby allies that lost all their "weapons," and technically the Datajack is considered a weapon. Will need some more selective checks on that, thanks.

And getting two weapons is normal--combat robots get two backups per part type. (But the Mechanic can run out of supplies and need to get more from the Repair Station, so bots also may not always be fully repaired.)
