Adds more cool new mech melee weapons!
Weapons are as follows:

Maul: high damage, throws people away, bonus wounding, bonks structures, slow
FLAMING CHAINSWORD: lower damage than standard sword but burns and ignites targets hit, no deflection bonus
Katana: faster and lower damage sword with no cleave, wounds more, slightly better AP
Spear: +1 range, high AP, penetrates mechs to hit the pilot, slower, can be used (poorly) as a hand-held poke stick in a pinch
Stun Baton: works like a stun baton but can't NOT harmbaton because you're being smacked in the chest by a mech, deals 80 instead of 70 stamina damage and shoves people away
Rapier: Stabs twice, good AP, faster, low damage per stab, syndicate-only (dark gygax), mech steps forward to attack

TO DO:

  • Finish rapier
  • Fix the rapier lmao
  • Test all the weapons
  • Add a can stab check thing holy shit this was a wild ride
  • Add research stuff
  • Make/find sprites for all the weapons
  • Test everything again
  • Convince people this is a good idea
  • Testmerge (?) and do some thunderdome balance testing

Spriting

suggestion: make the stunbaton deal 100 stun damage as its exepctionally hard to melee with a mech anyways and also its supposedly a giant stunbaton, it should deal more stam damage

another suggestion, Stun sword, make the stun baton into a sword with swing

Shouldn't the exosuit be able to 'tap' a target with the stun baton, doing zero damage? I mean, excavators today, in real life, (we're supposdly 500 years behind Nanotrasen tech) can pick up eggs without breaking them, why can't a robotic vehicle in the future?

1: I'm not giving mechs a one-tap weapon to instantly down people
2: Stun sword would be cool, I'll think about it but balancing it to where it would be useful but not outright better than other options would be a pain

Fair point, I'll work on making the precise attack just do stamina damage.
