Fire extinguisher

You are here: Stellar Forces > New Features > Fire extinguisher

• I would like to see the fire extinguisher included in the Capture the Flag CC Only mission. One of my favourite missions, unsure why it isn't included. Would add an extra dynamic to the game.
  
  In fact I'd like to see the fire extinguisher have some close combat value, maybe 5. Being hit with it or sprayed in the face is going hurt a bit. :D

• Good point. It looks like I'd categorised it as a gun, so it was blocked from all lCC-only missions. I've now changed that, and changed it's CC value to 20, the same as a knife. It weights a bit more though, but I imagine it can do some harm when applied to the head with force. :)

• Nice one Steve. Looks like the fire extinguisher will get a bigger role in the game from now on.
  
  General question though, do guns cause any CC damage above an unarmed attack. In other words do they have any CC value? I've never been sure.

• The guns have various CC damage ratings from 6-14. You can download the spreadsheet of weapon stats at http://www.stellarforces.com/serverdata/equipment.ods (or http://www.stellarforces.com/serverdata/equipment.csv if you don't have OpenOffice).

• Just viewed the CSV file online. See there was a plasma cannon at one time!

• To be honest I have no memory of that weapon!

• I could re-enable it (so we can rediscover why I disabled it in the first place :) ). It looks like a slightly different version of the Autocannon.

• I suppose it was a laser version of the autocannon. Seeing there was already a heavy laser you chose the name plasma cannon. Just a hunch. :)

• Can't use fire extinguisher. It is in the game but no facility to fire it to put out fire.

• Ah. because it's no longer a gun (so it could be used on the CC-only missions) it can't be fired. D'oh! I'll have to make it a gun again, and explicitly allow it in the CC missions.

• I've just tweaked it all again. Could you have another try? There's a chance it won't work for existing games, and I'll have to tweak the data.

• Working fine now Steve, thanks again.
