Not to pick on you either, but the first one talking about counter-meassures.. was me. Concept which at this stage should be pretty self-explanatory as well, IMO. I mean, we do not know on whether the missiles go with IR or optical (or with whatever else) guidance equipment..

Anyway, who cares... . We're in here in order to apport good feedback to the devs.

I've opened new threads dicussing on, for example, a passive Hunker ability plus some extra cool moves too. Additionally, the spy cam entity I mentioned here is an interesting addition too. ( use search if you wish... ).

Added some suggestions, ideas seem to be slowing down, don't forget you can add-on-to or give your support to already existing ideas.

Lots of talk about blinding someone in a mech, how about a module that protects you from flash blindness.

for the emp i think it would be neat if you had to rapidly press a button to recover from it.

and as for a fake blip drone...maybe a mirror image of your mech could appear, it would do no damage...but it would trick people to shoot at it/could help uncover people using the invisibility thing (if they put it in the game)

I'd prefer multiple button combinations, as if flipping multiple switches and dials to restart.

That would be an holo-yo!... which sounds cool to me too. Post this idea on the compendium thread. I mean .. do it yourself!

Plasma torch/Cutter boom.

Close range melee weapon modified welding torch. Creates a forward booster lunge while deploying a plasma torch causing moderate to severe localized damage. Use requires all mech energy so mech is left slightly maneuverability vulnerable (with a cooldown timer to recharge) to enemies responding cannon volley.

Cutter boom is a heavy weaponized drilling attachment that extends pneumatically and drills into enemy mech causing localized damage.

These are close range "thrust and parry weapons" where the deployment is visually broadcast animation stance with the consequence of missing being equal to greater damage to your mech from enemy counter attack.

I think it creates a dynamic fighting element where your enemy can't run up to your face and mutual suicidally unload everything into you. It could be used for finishing blows to a paralyzed or limping mech. You would be dancing and dodging a fine line between close and mid range combat.

No, i don't mean arms or sword weapons or really fast fast gundam style attacking. These are Sim industrial mechanized attachments or incorporated into the mech hull and design style with linear thrust attacks, not side sweeping.

I felt the overwhelming urge to sketch out your descriptions Robert

I'M NOT DEAD yet, just busy, I'll update this in a moment, KEEP THE IDEAS COMING!!

[HappyApathy1]

List updated

[legionwolff1]

Wowzers I'm on here twice:) thanks.

[legionwolff1]

Check my idea for the magnet gun if you like.-thanks LW

[HappyApathy1]

Not sure, sounds more like a weapon by the way if operates, albeit a very unusual one.

[legionwolff1]

It's both offensive and defensive in a way. It just depends how you play it.

[pocketdrummer]

Pretty please, no cloak. Ruins every game I've ever played...

[HappyApathy1]

as I said in the intro, anything goes, were just throwing out ideas, if u have criticism please at least make it constructive

p.s I put the gravity gun in the debatable category.

KEEP THE IDEAS COMING

Finally.


1. The basics are already mentioned. I'll review what I think worth a try on the game.

a. Counter measures of flares for missiles.
b. Proximity mines.
c. Gun emplacements and dynamic sentries.

2. New ideas.

a. Events like collapsing buildings or any activity in the stage that affects players.
b. Destructible environments. Partial environment can be destroyed. Others can be perforated by some type of ammo.

c. Spawn points are defined by a ship. You always enter the battle transported by a ship.
Other spawn points could be drop points from a carrier and so on. These spawn points can be controlled depending on the activity in the stage.

d. The use of barrages. Some of them are controlled other are just bombardments or target painting.

3. The game itself.

a. Focus few stages on pure flying or make flying part of the action on some stages. Some stages could be close quarters for combat, other are open for flying. Be diverse in your design.

b. Zero G battles like Shattered Horizon. Bringing six degrees of freedom into battle extends the game with different styles of players.

c. Battle between carriers in a high rise city.

Thanks for the effort keeping this thread alive.

b.

I think they already said they couldn't do destructable environments.
