About The Pull Request

Changes the Odysseus and Gygax to be manufactured by Cybersun. Finally, the company that specializes in robotics and cybernetics actually has a presence in the exosuit market.

  • Gygax is now the 500 Series, represented by the 501p (Gygax) and 515 EX (Dark Gygax).
  • Odysseus is now the 200 Series, represented by the 202r, and potentially more in the future.
  • 515 EX has better power efficiency when running in overcharge mode. The armor is still the same as the 501p, but you can run around like 30% more without zapping your batteries to dust.

Originally, this was going to be packaged with a resprite/redesign of the exosuits in question and some tweaks to their performance, but that will have to wait until later because spriting exosuits is hell on earth.

....I'll change the wide variety of paths associated with them Later(tm)

Why It's Good For The Game

cybersun actually gets a presence in the exosuit market and we can finally clean up some of the old outdated scraps of lore that were still hanging around in relation to these two exosuits

Changelog

🆑
code: Renamed the Gygax and Odysseus and updated their lore
add: Dark Gygax (now 515 EX) has better efficiency when overloading its legs.

ehh.. having names for them is better than a number identifier, this is less cool

i'm specifically going for BMW or Tesla style model names here because it fits with Cybersun's corporate personality and is extremely distinctive compared to most of the existing content (particularly exosuits), which do indeed tend to have "cool" names (usually askance references to media or myth/fantasy names). I'm trying to make them stand out and make it hard to confuse them for something more generic (read: built by nanotrasen).

in-universe, cybersun isn't trying to sound cool, it's trying to sound elite. the product doesn't need a pithy nickname, it speaks for itself- or so the marketers want you to think anyway.
