What is with people missing the fucking point. Sure they still have neurbound weapons, but they cannot USE them if they die without glue. Would you rather this NOT go in and they continue to go around carefree?

If this does go in I don't want it to be a 100% chance to unequip without glue, give it the same failure rate as if running with a normal item without glue.

So, here is what you do.

Gear up with Tech 2 gear and lower, and Gear Glue 2.

Equip a Seer's Underminer.

Warp into a galaxy, most drones and bases will not able to see you.

Kill a slave.

Warp out, re-equip weapon at an AI Base, and start over. As long as there is no radar auged bases or drones in the galaxy, this fix does not fix anything at all.

How about equipping a Seer Neurbound Weapon will require equipped Gear Glue of same tech or higher?

I like the way Jeff is thinking, but it is far from a fix. Needs a bit more of thinking this idea before it goes live in my opinion.

yeh but then u just transfer the GG out once equipped...its a tricky problem.

Then you would not able to undocked, because it will notice that you have no GG equipped that is equal or higher tech than the Neurobound weapon, simple fix.

Its better this way

Its a good change.

I'm not really sure which Seers and what setups you refer to - but afaik for most slaves a T4 AI base weapon (ofc on a T20 Seer ship with maxed Seer skills) is enough. GG4 is pretty cheap - regen time of your ship is probably the limiting factor.

I appreciate the change - any real, honorable Seer won't go out without GG20 anyway; except you for some odd reason forget it.

Simple solution. radar augged bases with a spotty beam. I have one in every gal....don't you?

Simpler solution, make NB weps destroy themselves if you dont have GG, and mission opens again.

In that case mission cost should change to something different.
For example a Gold Bar.

Or make the repeat mission free? So it just costs them time.

Sorry, doesn't seem fair.
Victim loses a TS, Seer loses a few minutes?
Immobilizing a galaxy should cost the Seer more then that.

You don't have to use the NB weapons to kill trade slaves. I have seen that to have optimum efficiency, slaves' shield tend to be below 20k. Most slaves lack resists. I can get 20k DPH from a Reaver Laser. In built items cannot be unequipped.

You argument just got pwnt.

Making the RL be unequippable also gives an epic beef to the Reaver, so yeah, either way the Seer wins. Unequip the RL, beef to Reaver. Make NB weapons unequip or terminate, I still win because the RL is not NB.

I have a way to solve this problem!

Use...HESTIA AUGS!

No, the missions shouldn't be free.

If someone forgets a GG he should have a reasonable way to recover such a weapon or not loose it in first place. But it should not be for free. Those commods are far too hard to get for a repeatable mission so something that has a minimum credit cost (as they don't drop) and is not too rare is fine - ofc it can be something else than a Gold bar (just a simple suggestion).
For cases what most people's concern here is - the one where Seers exploit the neurobound tag - like Engineers were doing a lot with BFDs - it's exactly what fits I think:
It costs more time when to have GG ready and it's more expensive (due to CG) than to have GG ready.

I still hope this won't happen - chances are too high that some (bugged?) way or the other people will end up with more than one weapon on an alt.
