Question:
Should EMP Stun Marine Power armor Or Bionic Limbs?
Option 1: Yeah! It adds tactical layers into combat!
votes: 0
Option 2: Maybe EMP should only stun Power armor users who wear them instead.
votes: 1
Option 3: I think it should stun people who have Bionic limbs only.
votes: 0
Option 4: No way! It's all fine with Mechanoids, Shield Belts and Turrets. That's too much!

Aloha!
Let's talk about EMP...
Now EMP we have EMP Grenades, IED and Mortar Shells that can explode, releasing harmless Electromagnetic pulses that can disable Mechanoids, Turrets, Mortars and deplete Shield Belt Users but that's all it's good at...
It has less uses and is mostly not worth against Human Opponents and Raiders, is but very good at disabling Mechanoids and Enemy Equipment such as Turrets...
So how about making EMP being able to Disable or Stun Marine Power Armor (https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Marine_armor) and Bionic Parts users?
It would open more strategies and tactics to make EMP Grenades, Traps and Equipment to be actually good against not just to Full Shield Belt Raids but also to Raiders wearing Marine armor and those who have Bionic Limbs and actually turn EMP Grenadiers Raiders into a Threat not to your Turrets but also to your Transhumanists Colonists with Bionic Parts.
They would affect and punish Marine Armor and Bionic Limbs users, not just to the Raiders but also to your own Colonists.
But Not the Marine helmet or Archotech Limbs users... since we could make Bionic Limbs in the Fabrication bench.
Thanks for Reading!
+1 but only for outer bionics - inner bionics stun will be unpleasant...
I am unsure why EMP should work on Bionics.
An EMP destroy/overload integrated circuits. But i don't think bionic parts are made out of these.
Or they would be called robot parts.
Similar to Marine armor, sure that would have integrated circuits, but it is part of a military equipment, and these normaly got a shielding against EMP.
Canute, Sure that could be a bit unpleasant, and a bit bad...
However i would Still want it to stun those who have Bionic Limbs, And Including the Marine Armor... It might have but the EMP-Nades could be a advanced equipment to stun those Power Armor Users if the EMP-Nades was also a part military items to disable not just robots, shield belts or automated defenses, but also for those wearing Powered armor
Vovik, I would only for Outer Bionic Parts too as well, It would seem way too evil to disable someone with Painstopper and then realize that they have too much bullet holes in their torso and might be missing arm or an leg, and then start panicking lying in the ground or instantly die from the EMP...
Yeah i would go for outer bionics for stunning them and leave the inner bionics alone...
Then it should work for all bionics.
Die from bionic heart/liver stoped working.
