I've been messing around with my Sshock2 folder in many different ways that I am prepared to do a fresh uninstall/reinstall soon. But before I do that, I wanna figure out how something happened. Lately I've been trying out Ponterbee Station v2 mod (without ModManager) although I installed it correctly, I'm not sure that I uninstalled it correctly when going back because I still see hi-res art and some ground arrows. And there's junk on the map. But it didn't bother me.
Then I discovered something called SS2Tool 2.4 and SS2ModManager. I installed SS2Tool 2.4 (everything ticked/checked) and SS2ModManager. And I checked out SHTUP and Rebirth mod. And there was something I noticed about the Cyborg Assassins
They move backwards more slowly now. Normally the Cyborg Assassins can backpedal at a ridiculous speed, making melee engagement difficult. Now they hardly move backwards at all when they backpedal. They seem so much easier to kill now. It stayed that way even after deactivating SHTUP and Rebirth; no surprise. Was that a bug or an unofficial "fix" where somebody thought the assassin's fast backpedal speed was a bug?

I think that was just a random behaviour you witnessed.

1. They look more like wierd looking robots than ninja things. That falls out-of-character with their shurikens and frankly looks foolish. but that is a matter of personal opinion, so that is not so important for now.
That's the new Rebirth model of the cyborg assassin. Check out the other new models, and if you find yourself liking the old models more, uninstall Rebirth.

No. They do it all the time now. They used to run backwards fast, now they do it so slowly.

The rebirth assassins don't fit in with how they attack. If that model is going to work, then they should cut you with the wrist blades, instead of backpedaling.

I like rebirth mod, too. Except for the overly revamped cyborg assassins. But whatev...

Just delete them from the mod (if you haven't already).

I prefer the new design over the "trashcan with swimsuit" one as well.

I prefer the original model because it's based off the enemy design from System Shock 1. It was nice (?) seeing a familiar face again.
The old days of "OH JESUS MY SCREEN IS GOING RED WHAT IS KILLING ME I CANT HEAR ANYTHING" all over again

I was hoping for an updated Psionic Reaver brain enemy, but I'm patient and I can wait for that to be included in the mod :)
The Rebirth mod hasn't been officially updated since like 2003, not counting the unofficial Complement version.
