[PR] Replaces the syndicate's Sawfly purchase with the pouch containing three - github_bot - 06-24-2024

About the PR
See title- changes the buylist purchase.
If need be, I'm fine with changing it to be a 1 TC purchase per drone, but thought I'd see what folks think of the pouch idea first.
Why's this needed?
There's been some talk in RP-chat about how sawflies are a little underwhelming for 2 TC, especially since all the other grenades you can purchase are 1 TC and give a whole pouch of them.
When sawflies were first added, 2 TC made sense. They pierced armor, had considerably faster attacks, and had shorter fuze times. I definitely think the changes were merited, but since then, I feel like they've dropped out of the 2 TC price bracket.
The purchase giving a pouch of sawflies instead of one and a remote is more in-line with the other grenades, and should hopefully legitimize their use outside of the "let's make an army in mechlab" niche.

I do think this is a good change since sawflys, especially one by itself really won't do anything really and buying any of the grenade kits would just be a better purchase as you said. The only thing I had to add was what would happen to the cluster sawfly since the only appeal that item had (having a better tc per sawfly ratio then buying them individually) no longer exists.

Definitely a good point. Once (if) this gets merged I'll be sure to update the clusterfly price as well.
