These aren't exactly mod requests since they're all pretty complicated to do (and I wouldn't expect someone to do them just for me
) Anyways, these are leftover suggestions I gave to a certain someone who basically said there was too much Lua involved for him* to do it, so I decided to throw these up in the air and see if anyone wants to give them a shot.*hurrr that rules out Duh102

4 - Taser: This might be a bit of a bigger project. I've never seen a properly done Taser before- Darkstorm had one that fired out little tiny prongs which immobilized enemies about 15 seconds, but I'd love to see a one-shot Taser that sticks to enemies and gives them a good paralyzing shock. Here's an extra feature that I'd like to see, though: the prong stays on the enemies, and by holding down fire at any time after the initial shock, you can deliver more shocks to further cause your victim to flop like a fish. And while this might be going over the top, it would be cool to set a key that causes the Taser to overload and set the enemy on fire with all of the electricity, killing them very quickly. (For Lua references: The Grapple Gun made here stuck to enemies the way I mean, and the current Darkstorm EMP grenades immobilize enemies for a short time.)
5 - Psychic Wave Gun: More Lua goodness! This weapon would fire an invisible particle that doesn't affect terrain but causes an AHuman's or ACrab's head to explode when they're hit by it. The basic concept behind it is telepathic mental waves that overload a clone/robot/crab's brain and cause it to go BOOM. The waves should be able to go through terrain, doors, and actors but they should also have a limited range.
7 - Ghost: This is also probably one of the bigger projects. The Ghost would basically be an invisible actor that can pass through walls/terrain/doors/actors like they're not even there and it also can't be harmed by anything. By hovering next to an actor and hitting Fire, you can mentally hijack/possess them- useful if you hijack some kind of giant enemy actor and use it to slaughter all of their teammates without putting yourself in harm's way. When the possessed actor dies, the Ghost exists the body and looks for a new host. The only way the Ghost can die is if it goes offmap or if it is returned into orbit by a craft. Also, the Ghost should be able to voluntarily exist a body before it dies (and kill the body in the process)
8 - Psychic Wave Bomb: As you could probably guess from my earlier suggestion, this is a device that releases a large amount of Psychic Waves in all directions when detonated, slaughtering all who are nearby.
9 - Quantum Disruptor: Probably impossible to do (or it would take a crapton of Lua code) but this would basically be a rifle that fires a special round which, when it hits an actor, kills the actor by splitting it into pixel-size pieces. Basically, it melts actors. I don't know how hacky this would have to be to work, whether it's relatively simple or what, but eh.

Any takers? (And to the moderation team: If this is in the wrong place, my bad. I just felt it didn't really fit into "Requests" and that Discussion would be a better place for the thread.)
NOTE: If you do decide to make one of these suggestions and release it as a public mod, I'm fine with it as long as I'm credited for the concept. No permission needed etc.
