We need a actual god dang way to kill slimes, as a xenobiologist. Xenobiologists should not be fighting slimes with fire extinguishers, because that is silly. So, obviously, reskin a fire extinguisher, give it a higher amount of water to hold, make it look like something you'd carry around. Because it just LOOKS dumb. You know you want it.

I support this with all 300 assistants I fed to slimes last year.

Oooor, you could ask your local chemists to make you water/cold grenades? Frozen pepper + water + grenade = fatality against slimes. Don't actually quote me on this, I don't know if it works, but I will test it... sometime.

A) thats a limited source, and one, moreover, that requires mutant plants and lots of grenade parts. b) Xenobiologists go through dozens, if not a few hundred slimes in a shift. c) Your a scrub. d) I love you. e) Scrub.

+1 this Nik, doesn't make sense to have such an inefficient way to procure materials from a company who makes their money by being efficient

Nik you scrubberlishus scrubnik. Science can make grenades too. They have the chemical machinery on the outpost. They literally can make an infinite amount of grenades if Xenbio is competent and makes all the materials, because mining is so last year. Also grenades are fairly dam cheap to make, it's easier to make them in science then it is in chemistry.

That would mean dozens of grenades. Grenades, which would kill all the slimes in the pen, meaning you couldn't be selective. Bitch please. Grenades have never been affordable. You need to scrounge to even make a decent amount of them.

Don't you have a temperature gun? From RnD?

You need science around to do so, a xenobiologist shouldnt have to do heavy work in RD to obtain a tool for their own job.
Although I did forget that thing existed.

Why not get a good Atmos Tech to make a freezer for you with them fancy H/E Pipes

I find grenades pretty dam cheap to make. Timers and igniters are infinite and it would be rare to see the autholate run out of them. Couldn't you just use a beaker with the contents of the fire extinguisher placed into it? Better yet, get a Borg to do the dirty work.

But this is all shit thats not part of your actual job.
Thats the point.

The whole point of people being delegated to different areas and having communication devices, is so they can communicate, assist each other, enable each other to be productive and efficient and finally, to get shit done. Researching alien life forms, or other specialties of science is supposed to be dangerous. NT doesn't care for your lives in the long run, they're a business and are good at spreading false hope. They give you the job because its cheap labour and minimum costs, otherwise they're more than capable of creating automated stations/facilities, but that requires them to spend spend spend. They want income and income only.
As crew, if you can't communicate and assist, that's the fault you need to fix. EVERYTHING can become safe as long as you keep communication. Even turning your suit sensors to max is a form of communicating. Nothing is meant to be safe, it's your job to make it safe.
Answer me this. What is the point of having one specialism non-reliant on other areas of its respective department? Things only work if it's a two way system. If you can only give or only take, you fail and crumble.

I think the main point here is that fighting slimes with a fire extinguisher is, frankly, completely stupid. He isn't asking for an easier way to go about killing them, he's asking for an actual tool designed for his job which is literally a reskin of the fire extinguisher. While what Pump said makes sense, I doubt that a company would not have the proper tools to carry out a job, no matter how cheap.

We don't even use pickaxes NOW, damnit.

We need Deadspace style plasma cutters to be in more widespread use. Not the modified versions that can dismember necromorphs, but the normal mining versions. Although it would be pretty awesome to modify them into makeshift weapons.

They really should just swap out to mining cutters, I agree rusty, even if they have the same stats as a pickaxe and we just cosmetically change them. Then add in a way to Emag the cutter so it's a half decent weapon?

I like. It would be more interesting to have some items that are actually emagabble, lying around.
But seriously, reskin the frigging fire extinguisher, name it the "Anti-Xenomorphic Freezing Device" and call it a day.

Hue. Because they're pretty useless against plasma fires anyway.
