PUDDING (exotic, ship weapon)
Price: 5/6 creds?
Ammo: 5 cartridges, 2 creds per extra set of 5
Requirements: PSI +1
Description: stands for Particle Uniformisation Device for Demolition and Interception with Nanobot Globules
A launcher for small nanobot globules programmed for a very specific purpose: turning enemies into goo. Literally. When they hit something, the nanobots will alter the molecular structure to an inflammable yellow non-newtonian fluid, gradually spreading through the enemy ship until they run out of power, at which point they will ignite and the affected parts will vaporise in a small flash. (flash might blind enemies, but does not deal notable explosive damage.)
More details:
- Transmutating armor is significantly slower but is possible with sufficient skill.
- Keeps doing damage over turns: every turns it rolls PSI with a gradually raising difficulty modifier, the first turn you fail your roll it stops and ignites the goo.
- Can deal a lot of damage if you have a lot of PSI
- Limited ammo and takes several turns to reach its full potential, making it better fit for larger threats.
- Compared to the nanomorph gun it’s more focused on damage and less on flexibility.
I'll be honest, I just wanted something for that acronym for jokes
But I think it's cool, something that slowly eats parts of enemy ships and does more damage over time the higher your PSI gets.
