Idea: Empire specific imp.

[Spider]

I was on the throne letting out what's left of a taco when it came to me...!

...How nice would a implant based on your empire be? well kinda nice if someone would elaborate something lol.

Maybe not implants but they act as imps...


Let take for example VS: armor mounted grapling hook. ya know a small hook mounted on the arm of an armor shoots and grabs on to a ledge permitiing you to zip up there thus giving you more mobility wich is the moto for Vanu :D


For the rest I have no freaking Idea :ugh:

[Kaltagesta]

i thoguht you meant like a small gnome thing....

[ua6oxa]

MAX abilities are like empire-specific implants. Except none for infantry.

[Spider]

Like I didnt know that!

But I dunno everything as a empire specific version :p why not the real implants

:love: hehe

[Tieom]

I like the idea, but the problem with empire-specific anything is the whiners.

Another problem is, it's hard to apply the empire 'philosophies' of TR = more shots, NC = more powerful shots, VS = versatility to empires other than the VS without going into the forbidden land of directly increasing the damage/accuracy/RoF of a gun.

Anyways, some ideas for implants. These could be just given to any empire or made common pool:
Radar-transparency/sensor jammer, which would make you not show up on radar and not get shot by automated anything unless a motion sensor detected you. Medium stamina usage.

REK Implant (Obvious)

Ammunition replicators which manufacture ammo for your current (or last) weapon when activated. It would take about 200 stamina to make one box of ammo, and it would only fill up partially used boxes, not make new ones. Stamina drain low, about 1.5/second, so it takes quite a while to make more ammo.

A IMP!


anyway i guess


VS: Surge but takes away 1/4 of the stamina of surge

NC: Shotgun range increaser

TR: no idea how to balance this one ther alread over powered

[FearTheAtlas]

VS: Grappling Hook thingy
NC: Maybe a thing you can attach to the end of their weapons to make it shoot faster?
TR: Same thing as NC, but it fires at a higher volicety?

I like what this guy is getting at, he is trying to make the factions more diffrent. (bad grammer) And I on some level agree. The factions rightnow are essentialy the same thing except on a few basic points. Its like trying to play an RTS online with both players using the same side except they have 5 diffrent units everything else is the same. That is my only beef with the entire game (oh except for the fact that with these new two aircraft and the new AA buggy i will not beable to have almost all the certs once all chars are at BR20! I still stick by my idea that the AA Buggy should go along with the heavy buggy cert and the reaver ert brings along the liberator too!

Edit: MAke Wraith and the Basilik one cert too!

How is that obvious? Do you mean hacking without it?

[Sentrosi]

No, you don't need to carry a REK, it's implanted in your arm or something....

Eh, last time I checked, you only had 100 Stamina max. But eh, what do I know.:D

yes, but stamina builds back up over time, even as you are using it. 200 stamina points is discribing more the length of time it would take, and if you did run out of stamina it would stop.

[Tieom]

Ham is right. It would drain stamina at an extremely slow rate, so that unless you were using other implants you'd still be regenerating stamina, just slower. In the end, it would consume 200 stamina for a clip, but it wouldn't be really noticable most of the time since it would just slow down how fast you get stamina back.

The REK implant is an REK that instead of being in your inventory is in an implant slot.

[TheRegurgitator]

1 bullet = 2 stamina

[BUGGER]

and you just lay your ass on the cc and let that hack the facility, yea that would be a kool implant.:D


But if empire spacific imp.

Vanu-more mobility (Graple hook i guess)
NC-Longer range (Longer barrel added to the end of whatever weapon you got increasing the range of the weapon)
TR-Faster fire (Arms lock making the gun more stable and gun fire rate increases)


Now thats empire spacific, but then most empire spacifics should be able to be jacked or stolen. If your in a enemy base, like lets say your TR and you in a NC bio lab, if you hack the inplant term you get access to all implants besides your mpire spacific implant, and that reason is because the NC implant is right there. So if you got 3 implant spots open, you could load yourself with a TR, NC, and Vanu implants. But unfortunatly, if you have all those implants slots full of the empire imps., the only 1 which you could switch between normal and empire would be your empir 1, since if you switch the other empire 1, you'll have to hax another enemy owned implant term.

k this all just poped into my head, flame away.:)

Vanu - thongs
Terran - weird vision goggles that make em look stupid

so, is that for the gnomes?

[TheRegurgitator]

i dont know

[r3d]

Vanu: Watch laser, (beamer)

NC: Shotgun sight, if it sees an enemy, it turns around and teamkills somebody for you.

TR: Shoots chainsaws, homing 1 hit kill anti air/anti armor/ap/normal/instant/plasmaburn/jammer/mine sweeper/shotgun blast with 99999 bullets/goes through walls/team friendly/BR and CR rank goes down if hit/infinte range/causes game to crash if hit/ steal your account/takes over all hostile facitlies on the continent used/ unlocks closed warpgates/heals teamates/ gives BR and CR to teamates/infinte ammo/causes TR to win for the days stats/one kill counts as 1000

thats not fair! least we get the Manly dicks

[Streamline]

Yeah.... but you really shouldn't put them in your mouth.

[Spider]

sorry was away playing some games for too long hehe but some of you have came up with great ideas keep it up since i'm non-imaginative

and patty stfu

One idea I had for an implant, which could be common pool, or for the Vanu would be a cloaking implant.

This would work for all armors except a max, it would have a fast rate of stamina consumption so even if you were crouching it wouldnt last long. Effectively it would be a temporary infil suit, if you move you become visible, and darklight reveals you just like an infil suit, but it runs out when you run out of stamina, it could also be based on armor size like surge. This could add a lot of versatility to reinforced or agile armor for base assault, if you spot a group of enemies you can't take on then just cloak. If your out in the wilderness and you see a vehicle you can't take on then cloak and hope it passes by before it runs out. This would also make darklight more usefull because you would have more to watch for than just a few infils. It could also have the added possibility of being used in conjuction with an infil suit to make a more advanced cloak, so that when you moved you would be less visible, or not visible at all. This would make infils have a lot more options because they could move even when there are lots of enemies around as long as no one has darklight, or they could close with a base quickly without a chance of being spotted. This wouldnt really be overpowered because darklight can still spot everything, but it would make people watch out for cloakers more. This would be a great counter to good base defenses, if a lot of turrets are put up then just cloak and try to move through them, you will be temporarily invisible from people guarding the base as you make your way through the defenses. The key issue in balancing this is the stamina consumption, it shouldn't allow a reinforced to slowly infiltrate a base and get to the cc cloaked all the time, but it should allow someone to get through a particularly hostile area such as a battle, base entrance, or just a group of enemies you stumble on.

I think that this would fit in best with the Vanu because they are all about alternative tactics and advanced technology, but it would work fine as a common pool implant as well.

I laughed at this for some reason. :doh:

I think he was implying the NC implant made you unload your clip faster, while the TR made your bullets travel at a higher speed.
