Pod module hacking - atomic1fire - 03-13-2014

The idea is allow people to use a screw driver on individual pod components, and shock/cut/weld them into either SUPERCHARGED modules, or into modules that will probably explode.

(hacking actually removes any safeties the modules have, basically like shorting a product lock or electrocuting a door, so they go faster/do better etc, but greater care must be taken that you don't get killed)

E.g Take the engine out, MAKE IT SOUPED UP, Hope you didn't turn the pod into a bomb.

Alternatively figure out how to turn the pod engine into a bomb, then then turn it on and try to get away before it explodes (or get someone else inside)

I'm 100% behind this if I can supercharge an engine and make it into an improvised SEED. Supercharging should be like injecting the engine with a tank of gas. Using one of those big tanks the scientists start with you can mix your own nitrous or something and using a certain mix makes it charge through windows and then blow up but unlike the real SEED it doesn't eject you from the pod before it blows.

Jesus Christ yes. How about emagging pod parts, and modifying weapons and armor? And jimmying pod locks with crowbars?

You add the Lasergun/Duct Tape assembly to the Modified Laser Array!
You attempt to jimmy the lock with the Crowbar! (this will take roughly 70 seconds, and you need to remain still)
