However, I didn't stop there with my
Archaeloid. I really wanted to ensure that he was difficult to
escape, so I looked at a few other weapon choices. The primitive bola
seemed an excellent choice—this throwing weapon consists of weights
on the ends of interconnected cords, which can entangle a target and
prevent them from running. Another weapon I selected was the whip. It
doesn't have the range of the Glob Pistol or the bola, but I could
use it to entangle or trip any opponent within two squares. Tripping
them put them in the prone position, which causes them to suffer a -1
penalty against melee attacks and requires them to expend their
movement just to stand up again. All of this is music to the ears of
a dedicated melee fighter. I had decided to make my Archaeloid a
martial artist, so I purchased a pair of spiked gloves and spiked
boots (which both give me armor-piercing for unarmed attacks) and I
selected the Thrust Kick talent so he could seriously kick
some...yeah. But, I also know that being a one-trick pony can really
backfire in Solar Echoes, so I played it safe and bought a couple
long-range weapons: a Phoenix Blaster which fires energy rays, and a
handy revolver, which would not only work well with my Quick Draw
talent, but also added a little flavor for my Archaeloid—he seems
to prefer low-tech fighting methods. Plus, I had fun imagining him
walking around with a 10-gallon hat and a southern accent. Howdy,
y'all!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
