Not sure if this is a bug or not, but when I was reviewing one of Raze's mission logs for the Wabbit Hunt, I noticed something odd to me.

At 2:04, Raze hits BunBot.003 with his Fusion Cannon, a "No recharge" weapon. Then the next action is him at 2:09 punching Choo Choo. Now, I may be wrong/have forgotten the weapons recharge mechanics, but if the Fusion Cannon doesn't have a recharge, shouldn't Raze have been able to use it for both actions?

Like I said, not sure if there actually is anything wrong, just something I thought was interesting.

CAVEAT: I'm not entirely sure what the current code does with recharge times and it's always been a little flaky. What follows is supposition. But that said...

Recharge times are a bit odd: if the current code still looks like it did when I last saw it, it's a bit of a mix between real-time (seconds) and rounds (each time a character acts). The Fusion Cannon (and a number of other older weapons) actually has a recharge rate of 1, not zero as you might expect - the display code in the weapon shop treats 0-1 as "No recharge". I think the intent was that it's used on round X and is ready to fire again on round X+1. BUT... I think it's possible for two consecutive "weapon" attacks to hit an off-by-one error when the recharge rate is 1, and do what you saw in the log. Interesting quirk!

"Moooooooommmmm, the War Room's being weird again!"
Currently having an issue where I'll select 6 bots to activate and submit the page, and then it'll load with 3 bots activated, 3 bots in the inactive section but still checked, and 3 error messages telling me I can only have 6 active bots. My gut feeling is it's something to do with the active_order flag since it looks like there's been another change there - my inactive bots are seemingly back to being ordered by ascending character_id.

Just encountered this error again.

Edit: Attempted to simply press the Activate button again, and it only activated two of the three inactive selected - along with a single error line for the 6 bots thing.
