Hello forums, this is one liter of vodka speaking.

 

I was playing fractured space with the evanescent Amidatelion earlier tonight, and there's a particular ship that I really enjoy. It's called the equalizer. It's a comparably dinky ship, but it goes fast so I like it.

 

It also has an ability to go extra fast, like a raider - except not. It's not really an ability. It puts down a "gate" that allows it as well as its team to just go really fast in the direction you were heading. You know, like those arrow looking things on the floor of roads in silly racing games.

 

Yeah. That should be an item. You don't get to turn, you just get a couple tries per life of going real fast for a period of time.

 

Do the thing, Reloaded.

i cant wait to have someone chase me around a corner to go flying in the opposite direction almost immediately,

YES. THE THING SHOULD WORK ON ENEMIES. LIKE MINES, EXCEPT SUDDENLY YOU'RE SOMEWHERE ELSE. YES.

just wait till you see the blitzing raider go flying backward, it probably should add slight elevation to prevent any drag on the ground, like a super horizontal jump pad,

yes but that word isn't the right word dummy.

(Sorry, beautiful - I associated the word with "luminous".)

Sounds cool, but I don't think it really fits into the game.

Can you place them on diagonal surfaces to launch yourself into the air?
Can you make a circle out of them and gain more and more speed, possibly colliding with another and unlock the secrets of universe?

[WillyW]

How about we turn this suggestion on its head? Instead of arrows that boost you forward, they are arrows designed as traps that make your mech spin around slowly and uncontrollably; you can still shoot and move the mouse to aim, but you are in no control of movement.


Kind of like this:



Isn't that music awesome?

Hello forums, this is one liter of vodka speaking.

 

we need "Vodka Item" in ha?ken. when you have vodka, you can do anything.
possible, also need "Vodka thrusters" and "Vodka camouflage" to get moar effect. Maybe, "drink Vodka taunt".

p.s. This post is not an advertisement of vodka. This post is vodka.

Team Deathmatch: A mode where you and up to 5 teammates battle it out against another team of players.

 

Win by either getting to 40 kills, having a higher number of kills compared to the other team before the 10 minute mark, or creating a black hole.

[Hecatoncheires]

Wonder what would happen if you dropped two facing each other and jumped in.

 

 

A different kind of idea: what if it was rotational instead of being linear? You would drop a pin on the ground and that pin would emit magnetic waves that would pull nearby mechs toward it for a few seconds. If you happen to boost by it, you would orbit. If you boosted onto it, you would be stuck for a moment. Of course, this removes the original concept of acceleration.

 

Or maybe an item that causes all mechs near yours to be repelled from you for a brief period? You would temporarily gain the ability to push mechs away.

 

I'm liking this whole magnetic idea. Though, as I stated before, it deviates from your initial purpose.

[Coboxite]

So what you're proposing is basically a banana peel for mechs to slip on.

 

I like it.

literally the opposite, but thank you

I kinda like the banana peel idea. When a mech hits a banana peel mine it maintains its vector for 2 seconds or until it hits a wall.

[Trigary]

So the banana peel is basically a device, which can only hack the mech if it steps on it, and it makes the mech's legs maintain the last command. I like it more like this :P

Did you intentionally use the word vector or were you looking for the word "velocity"?

You know, I like this even more. RL pls

[dorobo]

I would like to have a cargo drone that I would call by a wistle and he'd come and pick me up and take me to the skies above the battlefield and land me right behind that ss.

just pay one million babaji-credits, and buy your personal Caryall unit

 

it can also automatically transported your Brawler back to the base, after you have collected 250 EU. Brawler too slow to walking on their own :D

Vector describes velocity and direction in only two syllables. 

 

I think it would be funny if the mech animation still tried to walk in the direction the player commands, but slides on anyway.

Where is the "Don't-like-button".

[ticklemyiguana]

Still more ambiguous! Also velocity includes direction, fool. (Speed doesn't.)

Uh, no it doesn't. Velocity merely means a direction is involved. Vector specifies that direction.

[ticklemyiguana]

Well, thank you editor, for making a whole new post.

[crockrocket]

Velocity is an example of a vector

[ticklemyiguana]

Uh, no it doesn't. Velocity merely means a direction is involved. Vector specifies that direction.

At first I misread this post to mean that velocity doesn't have anything to do with direction.

 

I made a big deal of saying how wrong you were.

 

Even still, you're wrong.

 

Vector and velocity are not interchangeable. Velocity is a vector quantity. A vector is simply a mathematical term that implies magnitude and direction - that's all. My poking at Hyginos was to state that vector doesn't imply any more movement than 2+2 does.

 

Velocity specifies that there's a rate of change in position involved, as well as a direction. Neither stating that "this is a vector" or "this is velocity" actually state the direction - you'd need to specify that direction in either case.

 

Since "vector" can only imply movement by context, it is certainly more ambiguous than velocity.

 

That being said, my prod at Hyginos was mainly to semi-humorously tout the superiority of using physics based terms in a physical application, rather than a purely mathematical term.

 

(Speed would merely mean that a direction is involved.)

 

Actually, you know what, dammit, YOU WERE EXACTLY AS WRONG AS I THOUGHT YOU WERE.

Both items are genius  ( Boost strip and bananas) and Mario Kart classics.

[nepacaka]

I know which item can be best ever. i call it "UDW-3000"
when you drop udw-3000 on ground, this item start follow you. When you doing something wrong in fight, this item ascertains the fact that "you're doing it wrong!", and continue repeat this phrase every time, when you doing something wrong. that's all.
:D

That's a better item name.

God I hope at some point this game gets to the point where private servers can have their own game tweaks and mods.
