This adds a new weapon, a flechette rifle. The general idea is to balance around inventory space for firepower. A row of ammo in your inventory is roughly enough to take out 6 biter bases. It has a short range. This is an early game weapon and I created it to address the need of something to take out bases without requiring turret creeping. It unlocks with Military 2.

The idea of balancing around inventory space is something I've had for a while, and I went with a flechette rifle because all good scifi should have one. They tend to work terrible in real life, but it's fun to dream, right? "Flechette" refers to long thin needles, and usually lots of them. They work very well under water. Some of my favorite scifi that has featured them is Bungie's Marathon Infinity and Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.

Yes, of course it can be distributed in mod packs

Thank you for allowing me to use this mod:) Its added to the latest version now! looking forward for updates:) and possibly more / better versions of this weapon which cost more? Would be great for difficulty increasing mods like hardcorio or dytech warfare;)!
