This thread is an expansion of my original Holodeck posting, back in 2012, during the Chromosome build. The concept was before its time, but with CCP's roadmap that includes Merc Warbarges and Corporation Warbarges, I believe the discussion of a Warbarge Holodeck/ Holodeck module, with Dust players and CCP would be relevant at this time. PLEASE refer to the previous posts, some of which have been locked:
My original HOLODECK concept: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=448540#post448540 CCO Rattati Warbarge designs: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=187533 CCP Rattati Roadmap 2015: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=185772
My original Holodeck concept had seven features: 1. Training grounds. 2. Training maps. 3. Weapons Testing. 4. Training drones. 5. Squad training. 6. Vehicle Testing. 7. Passive SP accrued.
I would like to add three more features, 8. Statistical Database, 9. NPC Combating, and 10. CCP Concept Testing.
8. Statistical Database. This is for all of the HARDCORE players that like to record themselves holding their guns! Let's say that this feature allows you to record, at your choosing, the last battle that you just ran, from your point of view. You go to the Holodeck, hit "Replay Last Battle", then voil+á, you are in your last battle, watching yourself and all of the things that affected (read: shot/ killed) you. Things that you missed, didn't see, etc., you can analyse all of that! In addition, you could show ALL of the statistical data of the environment and mercs involved: the speed of your attacker moving, the type of weapons/ armors, which corner they came from and surprised you, the range/ distance of the attack, who was that fool that was shooting at you, where did that Dropship blaster come from, "How did he do that?!," ALL that good stuff, with the stats/ data directly connected to the object/ merc, etc! In addition, you could play it (fast) forward, (fast) backward, replay, AND SLO-MO! And if we choose, allow for us to save the recorded battle to our PS3 Harddrives, to replay! I use to do this with Armored Core 2/3 on the PS2, so I know SOMETHING could be arranged for my 500GB HD for the PS3?!!! Heck, Gran Turismo does that ALSO!! All that data that CCP puts out could also be applied for us to view, without having to go to Dropsuits/ Vehicles. This way, stats could be viewed, compared, etc. and applied to #3, 4, 5, & 6. Have a squad training in the holodeck, record, playback, study, analyse, rinse, repeat, until we're satisfied!
9. NPC Combating. Throw in some Non Player Characters to test our mettle! Choose from DESIGNING your own NPC to combat, with choice of weapons, armor, etc., then set levels (Meta-level or Mil/ Std/ Adv/ Proto) then go for it. Get your training on, record, then refer to #8.
10. CCP Concept Testing. ATTENTION CCP: This if for YOU! THIS would be the PERFECT opportunity to test out NEW maps, find bugs, seek out glitches, whatever! Put out the map in the Holodeck, let us run the hell out of it for about 1-2 months, find out the bugs/ glitches, likes/ dislikes, then when it is ready for primetime, THEN give it out to the public maps. SAME thing for vehicles/ weapon/ armor, etc. Let us test it out there, with you able to record stats on those session in the Holodeck, sounds like a win-win! Also, let us have access to ALL OF THE MAPS, PAST AND PRESENT, to train and vote on! CCP, this is your chance to go, "Attention all mercs. New map, called Acme Sausage Ridge, now available for testing and voting. Enjoy!"
Being that there are 6+ modules still available on the Warbarge, creating a "Holodeck Module", with multi-leveled features (the higher the level, the more features added), would blow the hull off of ANY other design/ concept modules, to date and afterwards! My original posting still holds true with things still needed in DUST, and currently, I don't see it ANYWHERE on CCP's Warbarge OR roadmap. I would like everyone to chime in on this, good, bad, add to it, etc. to see if we could make this happen. I've already put in a request on the Trello Dust board, and it links back to this thread. My current feelings on the situation, as follow:
"Got me ALL locked up in my quarters, looking at the same damn channel, with a Holo-girl named Jara that likes my ISK...... WTH?!!! CCP, You better let me out, 'bout to blow my own warbarge up, seeee! I can haz fun plz sir?!"
Thanking you in advance, for all input , appreciated.
