I'm not so sure on that idea Sundance; it makes artifacts not only more complicated code-wise, it also gives martians (which are already strong as fuck) another potentially game-winning bomb or similar. Maybe the martian key could be something that has to be bought with Biomass?
Anyway here's a few ideas for Martian things, please note I've not read much of this thread at all so most of these are probably already suggested.
BIOMASS SHIT:
Pistol
It's basically a revolver resprited with (4?) shots, which does burn damage instead of brute + bleed. Classed as laser, not stopped by armour, doesn't cause bleed. All martians start with this.
Rifle
Essentially the same as the above, but with an extended ammo hold, maybe about 15 shots? I dunno. Shooots a bigger looking beam, does maybe a bit more damage.
Mounted Cannon
The equivalent of an Emitter that doesn't need to be wrenched and shit; take it out of your bag (martians should have something that's not a bag like a nasty martian pouch or something) and slap it on the floor, then click it again to activate it like you would a meteor shield generator.
Martian Biopods
With pods now being A Thing, the martians should be able to get one; fly it over to the station, pile out and shoot dudes, chuck dead dudes inside, teleport home. Job done gg.
The Claw
Martian melee weapon, works like the Chef's butcher knife without the thrown damage function or bleed; if you gib someone with it, however, it auto-converts them to biomass. Not as much as if you'd tossed them in the pool, though.
Martian Corpsebot
Works like a deployable guardbuddy; take it out of your bag and activate it, and if a human body is near, it drags them back to wherever the martians have set it to go. (definitely 100% not stolen from that Corpsebot suggestion thread)
