Do you have a savegame?

Not particularly? I found it while making a mech using these two as base abilities.

Outside of trying to find the interaction naturally, is there a quick and easy way to show it?

Did you give the mech a main non-melee weapon? If not, then I could definitely see this not working.

This is what I'm using now.

Before I modified these I had Phase Blade in main, Combat Shield in energy and the missile launcher.

Okay -- thanks!

Did I break it or did I find something, I'm so confused ;)

No clue. But it's on the list to look at more, since you can duplicate it. :)

Cool. It's odd since mouse aiming worked the entire time.

Mouse aiming isn't something that happens in a "you caused this" sort of fashion. The mech just looks at the mouse at all times. With the gamepad (or just-keyboard-only, for that matter), when you aim you are firing+aiming. So technically it does not work with either mode, per se.

Fastest mod made by me yet.... Anyway, quickly made a hull with the phase blade as main and combat shield as energy (nothing else changed from white gloss).

Some humor in there for Keith because why not :)

Sounds like I found something then. It is a legit combination of weapons you can find, and would be a horrible surprise for someone on floor 5 ;)

Can't test it right now because my controller and the game have decided to stop speaking to each other, but fyi if you want to test a combination of systems in the normal (un-modded) game context you can put a new xml file in RuntimeData/Configuration/DevScripts/ with contents like:

<root>
  <entity type="PhaseBlade" offset_from_player="50,150" />
  <entity type="CombatShield" offset_from_player="150,150" />
</root>

Then start a run in dev mode, press L to bring up the dev menu, select that script from the dropdown, and click the button execute it (after that you can execute from that filename via Ctrl+F8).

That will spawn the pickups for both of those systems, you can pick them up, and see how it would work if you'd found them normally.

Ok, was able to test it via the keyboard controls.

For 1.013:

* Fixed a bug where gamepad/keyboard aiming of melee primary weapons didn't really work because it wasn't using the mouse version's rule of "always act like it has at least 30 range for angle computations".

* Improved the responsiveness of gamepad/keyboard firing to aim in the direction specified even for the first shot (which previously tended to go towards wherever you were facing before pressing the button).

Thanks :)
