| + | These are the areas of research that just plain aren't going to get anywhere. Most of these are for game design purposes, or restrictions in the lasertag software that make them impractical. This list may well expand over time so please check back every time you have an idea just to be on the safe side. | ||

| + | * Any new chemical or drug that is addictive. The game team will be playing around with addiction as a theme but we intend to be very careful with it and sensitive of the possible impact on players. Characters will be able to replicate most drugs they find at an event including anything addictive, but we do not want players introducing new substances whose primary focus is addiction. | ||

| + | =====What The Lasertag Kit Can Do===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Primarily presented to help players decide what projects might be feasible as far as combat upgrades go.\\ | ||
| + | The kit has the following stats programmed in; | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Rate of fire | ||
| + | * Clip size | ||
| + | * Length of time your gun is disabled when you are shot | ||
| + | * Length of time you are invulnerable after being shot | ||
| + | * amount of hit points/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The software also tracks how many clips of ammo you are carrying, but that hasn't really been something that's been an issue for players and is probably not worth modifying. If there ever seems to be a need, the game team will make that modification anyway, regardless of research.\\ | ||
| + | The software will also allow you to regenerate in two different ways, either back to full when partially damaged, or back up and functioning from zero health. Both have a time period that elapses before regeneration starts. | ||
