About The Pull Request

Adds unloaded techshells to the outpost market, 7 shells for 175 credits.

Recipe changes

• Scatter Laser: 1 Adv Capacitor, 1 Adv Microlaser -> 1 Capacitor, 3 Microlaser, 1 power cell, 5u lithium
• Pulse Slug: 2 Adv Capacitor, 1 Ultra Microlaser -> 3 Capacitor, 1 Microlaser, 1 power cell, 5u lithium
• Scatter Ion: 1 Ansible Crystal, 1 Ultra Microlaser -> 2 Capacitor, 2 Microlaser, 1 scanning module, 5u iron, 5u uranium
• Dragonsbreath : 5u phosphorous -> 10u phosphorous

Changes the scatter ion desc to reflect the new recipe.

Ammo changes

Scatter laser and ion now fires 8 pellets, instead of 4, variance is 25 from 35
Dragonsbreath now fires 8 pellets instead of 4, deals 8 damage up from 5, variance is 45 from 35.

Why It's Good For The Game

These techshells were pretty underwhelming for what they were, and pretty heavily gated behind RND. For all the effort of researching and printing techshells with scatter lasers for example, you'd get a 60 damage shell on par with an improvised buckshot you made with scrap.

These changes should make them more comparable with standard ammunition and not so reliant on needing RND. I think techshells are pretty interesting and adds a versatile combat option.

personally i think tech shells are lame and would rather see them removed

Personally this is a goated as hell PR and it gives tech shells a proper niche now instead of it being gatekept by RND shenanigans. If only the other RND-gated Roumain guns could follow suit.

Actually this is quite the idea for a PR now that I think about it, time to cook.

I also don't really want to see pulse slugs taking down walls as well as the super turf fires

Pulse shots dont break walls anymore after #2315. The turf fires from the pulse slug is also handled by a proc, so I can tone down it's strength if that's an issue.
