Makeshift weapons

[atomic1fire]

all the crew's real options either are ineffectual or are so destructive to property you can literally get banned for usage of them

Which is why I want craftable weapons that go somewhere inbetween.

Craftable Bows wouldn't replace tazers and lasers, and they certainly wouldn't prove always useful against shotguns and rpgs, but they could open up some fun assistant shenanigans like people trying to shoot fruit off people's heads and offer a decent one shot weapon that doesn't kill you on use. It could also have wear and tear so that overusing it would mean needing to keep extra cable coil on hand to replace the string. The bleed risk that comes with being stabbed with an arrow would also open up people being able to track victims or slow down rampagers by causing them to either visit medbay or pass out from bloodloss. More importantly arrows by themselves wouldn't cause collateral damage unless someone is a really bad aim. Also Backpacks could make a fun ghetto quiver.

Craftable nets would offer a good nonlethal method to mildly stun someone, and could maybe even apply to hostile mobs.

Spears would probably be extremely noticeable to beepsky, but could be used for funny gimmicks like spear surgery if that one patch is added. (Hold up, I can't fit spears in my backpack so I gotta grab my bonesaw spear)


The contraband system in place already means that someone without captain access can't really tell beepsky that their flamethrower is a good flamethrower and beepsky is a indiscriminate little guy. Just set lethal craftables as an arrestable thing and you've already taken care of most of the obvious threats other then running around with a fire extinguisher or throwing clf3 drinking glasses at people.
