About the PR

Why / Balance

Inspired by https://discord.com/channels/968983104247185448/1511526035089526794
Disablers slowly killing borgs
EMP KILLING borgs instead of just draining battery
It just seems oppressive and was made to punish IPCs which are gone

Technical details

remove siliconemp component from baseborg
remove ion damage from disabler projectiles
edit: remove ion damage profile, electrical damage group, damage variable in emp call functions, siliconemp component and systems

Pretty sure coscult weapons still deal ion damage along with asphyx, which was the sole reason why I added ion damage in the first place. Do with that what you will.

It's fucking impossible to Ctrl F search ion in the IDE because every instance of "solution" and "administration" "extension" etc comes up
Either way CR seems to want the whole damage type gone anyways so this would need more changes

I think that + coscult stuff is all the cases of ion damage existing. Might have added it to more than just coscult weapons trhough, I think using glyphs also deals ion? Maybe astral nova too.

Might as well delete the damage type and group too. If I were CR I'd probably still keep it for coscult weapons specifically, because they're absolutely awful against borgs without it (they deal equeal parts of slash/pierce + asphyx + cold, and borgs ignore the latter two, so the strongest melee weapon in the game gets downgraded to a crowbar effectively).
