After Action Report 7.93
Most of this weeks bug fixes work, except the stormbolter, which still cannot get through carnifex armor.  I am relived to see the terminator armor buff has not made it uber.  Client's are not crashing any more, but now the server has started to bomb after a map change.

The heavy bolter is working again but the tracer is not showing in 3rd person view.  The stombolter's tracer IS working.  I must find out what they are doing differently.

Thunderhawk has a couple of model bugs, the broken fence panel at the crash site and the chimera near the generators no clipping properly,

A charged plasmagun can now 1 hit a zoanthrope, i'm not sure I like that.  I may buff the thrope's health and nerf the plasmangun, just a little.

I feel the tarantula is a bit too effective now.  I think I might nerf the damage back a bit.  What do you guys think?

Additionally, the acid floor in ex-hive displays the poison indicator in the HUD (even for tyranids)
