I was going to say that by default the
<environments>
<atmosphere type="terrestrial" />
</<environments>
Should be allow terrestrial and vaccum (like laser, plasma, etc)... for only
terrestrial like pistols (I dont think you should be able to use them in
Mars) you put the enviroments tag...
For compound ones like those that can work in terrestrial, vaccum and
maritime (underwater) I propose something like this:
<environments>
<atmosphere type="terrestrial" />
<atmosphere type="vaccum" />
<atmosphere type="underwater" />
</<environments>
And if we need later, we can add modifiers to each one of them.

I agree with Breunor. It is a reasonable suggestion.
In my previous post I just wanted to point out, that there should be no
difference in terms of using weapon on Mars or Earth. Or am I missing
something?
As for all possible comibinations of atmosphere types, we can either go as
Breunor suggested or just have something like that (where atmosphere type
name is optional, but at least one must present):
<atmosphere type>
<vacuum/>
<air/>
</atmosphere type>
Here we can even specify how each atmosphere will effect the weapon, but it
is definitely V1+:
<atmosphere type>
<vacuum range="1000" accuracy="1"/>
<air range="500" accuracy=".5"/>
</atmosphere type>

Mamutas

Regarding the atmosphere type of air/water/vacuum, shouldn't that be put
on most items? If we expand the game later to include the TFTD missions, I
doubt we'd want the player using a pistol or incidiary rounds underwater
for example. But a harpoon gun could be used out of water IMO, so it
wouldn't be a "one or the other" type. Maybe you have 7 types: 1=air,
2=water, 3=vacuum, 4=air+water, 5=air+vacuum, 6=water+vacuum, 7=all. Then
when the player gets to the site, the arming screen would only let you
equip a soldier with items whose type matches the atmosphere. This point
also brings up one of the laboratory ideas of having "weapon load
templates", the member brought it up as using for a sniper vs. heavy
assault type of load, but here you could create an "aqua" load, and have
it switch weapons for you. It would be a hassle to have 24 soldiers loaded
for water and switch to a land loadout, only to switch back for the next
mission. But that is v1+ ideas, the point being that if you include this
atmosphere type of every item, then that functionality would be possible
later on.
