About The Pull Request
removes the lathe recipe for the telescopic shield, which effectively removes it from play. in its place is a pair of printable gauntlets with a more modest block chance, for people who want to make a melee build more viable without lugging a shield around. a simple check on hit ensures that there isn't another shield in our hands, in which case this gauntlet provides no block chance.
Why It's Good For The Game
as is the telescopic is flatly better than every other accessible shield and also kind of a requirement to make security melee roles work at all. since we have everything round start printable, it means that other shields never really get used at all and telescopic is the clear meta pick. the gauntlets by contrast are a much different thing than the other shields, with a specific niche they fill for "i want a shield but i want my inventory space too" without displacing every other shield you can get.
Testing Evidence
i dutifully spawned some dummies and hit them a bunch and admittedly its hard to tell if the block chance reduction works due to the nature of rng but it sure seems to work yay
