awesome issue

ah, i think i understand your confusion

support weapons are a type of stratagem (you can see other support weapon stratagems here ) unlike normal weapons, such as primary, secondary, or throwable weapons, support weapons are stratagems that are selected before each mission alongside three other stratagems. you can then call them down using their respective stratagem code, and they will arrive in a manner similar to a resupply or like the machine gun support stratagem in the tutorial.

im not sure if you looked inside the warbond, but it does contain a stratagem

it's not a buzzword, it is valuable, but as with many things "safety" is being used as an excuse to push bad legislation (in this case regulatory capture).

for examples of REAL ai safety, i would recommend looking at this YouTube channel

the difference is that, stratagems have been (until this point) been unlocked with requisition slips, not with the super credits. additionally, it might not be a daunting cost to you, but it might for others, always something to keep in mind!

it's a major shift in how warbonds work, for that reason alone it's a big deal. as far as responsibility goes, i'd invite you to find empathy for those who were suddenly impacted by this change. additionally i believe we should be advocates to make more experiences accessible to all people, regardless of financial constraints, time constraints, or other circumstances.

it's unfortunate that they are going down this route. stratagems are one of the main appeals of the game, missing out on primary, secondary, and throwable weapons due to not having a warbond isn't nearly as disappointing IMO.

something i'd like to emphasise for people who think this is no big deal, because you can earn credits by playing: not everyone has the game amount of time to play as you might. those players don't have a choice of grind for it or pay for it, for them it's pay for it or lack the stratagem.

i think it's just humour, i assume it's referring to rust's lifetimes which is a feature (mostly) unique to rust

of course, if it works best for you, it's a good option! for example, im not self-hosting the lemmy instance that i use. however, there are numerous advantages to self-hosting, and if you'd like to learn more i would recommend the selfhosted community on lemmy. world
