Rouny's Marine Corps 14

New update: Mortars and sentries

Added 2024-09-09 10:30:28 +0000 UTC

Mortars

You can buy them at Requisitions, starting with one for free.
The two types of shells available at launch are the high explosive mortar shell and the flare/camera shell.
The mortar can be used by anyone with an engineering skill of 1 (the pamphlet for it has been added as well), and they are aimed to a coordinate obtained with the rangefinder, then dialed to account for the random offset, being able to shoot very far away.
This update also makes mortar explosions deal much more damage to structures than grenades. Mortars will be able to destroy Solaris walls with just two HE shells.
Mortars are more inaccurate the further away they fire and need to be dialed to account for this each time their target is adjusted.
The mortar backpack and belt will also be available to carry mortar shells. More shells will come in a future update.

Combat Technician's sentry and mini sentry

Each combat technician gets one from their vendor for free, and they can optionally buy the upgrade kit for 15 points.
The base sentry has more health and damage but shoots and deploys slower than the mini-sentry. The mini-sentry also doesn't block movement.
More sentry upgrades and combat technician defensive devices will arrive in a future update. As a preview, Verm has already made two more sentry types for the next update: The Sniper and Omni sentries! There's a video attached at the bottom of this post showcasing them.

Hypospray vials

Contributed by Verm

Hyposprays now have vials, which can be tactically reloaded using a hypo on one, or you can swap them in with a vial in hand.
Hyposprays can now have their transfer amount adjusted.
Hospital Corpsmen can buy vial pouches as a pouch option, which comes with 6 vials.

Crusher AOE passive, Crusher/Lurker slow on hit

Contributed by Verm

The Crusher has had its missing AOE on attack passive added.
The Crusher and Lurker have had their missing slow on hit added, with the Lurker's slow only applying to knocked-out marines.
