I don't have access to the beta - but there's an example of an overcharged plasma rifle message log in this mortem with the latest public version, .9.8.10:
http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php?topic=1786.0

The message log only has messages for hits, but there it shows 11 hits.  Unless somehow accuracy had a huge penalty for overcharged plasma rifles (29 misses along with the 11 hits), it definitely isn't 40 shots.

It only doubles shots fired and adds +1 damage i think.

On another subject, the new Plasma Rifle has +2 accuracy (says +1 in the wiki).

If that's the case unless you somehow beforehand that you need a semi-strong single attack, then simply firing the plasma rifle twice (taking 2 seconds without finesse), rather than overcharge-fire once, and using another second to switch to a new weapon, is better.

You're right, it's rarely used in actual play. Although if you hear a revenant, usually you can trade a plasma rifle for a revenant corpse, which is a good deal if you don't lose HP.

Under badges, what do "as explorer" or "as conquerer" mean?

And aren't the Nuclear Plasma Rifle and Minigun kind of useless now that Ammochain exists?

You still have to pick Ammochain, it's not a default trait. ;)

I'm assuming 'explorer' means seeing the whole map, and 'conquerer' is killing everything.

Explorer is visit every special level, and conquerer means clear every special level.

Ah. Well, I was close with 'conquerer'.

Medals are different to Badges, just for the record...

Aki, would you mind merging the Firespray/Explosive Pack articles into Firestorm?

(I'd do it myself, but my wiki editing skills are even worse than my singing)
