armor at spawn

balab · 2003-02-21, 10:14 AM

just curious, do you spawn with any armor and weapon on? this could make the assault of the spawn tubes quite interesting.

Tolvy · 2003-02-21, 10:20 AM

I think you spawn with standard armor, but no weapon.

Kalam · 2003-02-21, 10:20 AM

You do.

If your base is hacked and the Terminals shut down you will still respawn with you full choosen equipment.

Serbitar · 2003-02-21, 10:23 AM

I have to disagree. It was mentioned in the DEV shoutcast that if your espawn and there is no equipment terminal active you will have to run arround in your standard armor with just a pistol.

Kalam · 2003-02-21, 10:32 AM

Ok, I see, got some older information.

Only standart Armor is better anyway I think.
Would be too hard to capture a Base otherway.

you had best hope you have a locker

my only question is if you can store a tank in your locker, can you store a galaxy in it? I doubt it, but could you see a base getting hit, then 4-5 Galaxys and air cover just show up?

I dont think that you will be able to store a tank at all in your locker in the end though, that would be goofy, and let you have galaxys/huge tanks anywhere, jsut get them at the sanct and use them after you drop pod over somewhere that you cant build them from....

If you can deconstruct a vehicle and place it in your inv then theres prolly nothing stopping it going in a locker

SilentCacophony · 2003-02-21, 11:36 AM

I was always under the impression you had to go to a vehicle terminal and it appeared there. Never heard of it appearing in your pocket, cause that's just rediculous, and putting a tank in your locker would be absurd. After all, lockers are inside, and from what I've seen of the narrow indoor corridors, you're not driving a tank out of there.

Sputty · 2003-02-21, 11:51 AM

Good point. Lockers are inside but a garage might be a good idea too add in a patch or something.

Marsman · 2003-02-21, 11:51 AM

You can no longer de-construct a vehicle. That idea was abandoned. Only weapons and ammo can be stored in a locker.

Hamma · 2003-02-21, 12:50 PM

From the interview transcript:

there is no equipment terminal there. So the only thing you�re going to have when you go back to a tower is your default configuration, which is like standard armor and a suppressor with some bullets and a REK

So now there's no way to save captured vehicles from other factions?

Saint · 2003-02-21, 04:53 PM

You can lock them up so no one can use them and hide it somewhere, but if you log out, it becomes unlocked I believe and if no one interfaces with it, it dissappears, so if you log out for a half hour it might still be there, but I don't really know.

i think i remember reading something that said u could select a sort of quick start that would auto supply ur guy with ur prefered inventory. but even if thats true im sure it only works at places like ur sanctuary and other secured bases.

Duritz · 2003-02-22, 09:52 AM

The favorite setups probably are used when you walk up to a terminal. That way they keep people from spawning with stuff when they're not supposed to, e.g. when the terminal has been destroyed.

Another possibility would be only allowing the respawn favs when a nearby terminal is online; however, this seems like excessive coding and little time gained to me.
