I was thinking of the range issues ppl talk about with weapons and how without ammo swapping, it doesnt quite feel right to me. So here is my idea.
Make weapons accept the same small ammo types as all the other weapon systems in Eve, Hybrid, crystals, missiles, projectile, etc. Being able to swap ammo will be able to allow you to change your ranges and damage mid match. When you make a loadout, you can choose what ammo type is loaded by default. To take other ammo with you, and to make it something to buy, you can have an Ammo Pack item. Various types can have varied swap times and storage capacities. It would take up an equipment slot and just select it and up would pop your ammo choices you have loaded. Select the one you want and it loads into your gun.
Dont want to use an equip slot? Just load one type at default and use it. The first tier ammo pack might hold one type while advanced would hold 3 and proto 5. Since ammo is refilled with nano hives, the packs would just offer the different types of ammo and it is refilled in your weapon. If you die, you lose the ammo vouchers of sorts you had in your pack, like a sub item for the ammo packs.

Arc-08 wrote:one question though, if you had an ammo pack for hybrid ammo, and an ammo pack for say railgun ammo, then would you get a full clip of each ammo. so say it's an SMG would you get 480 of raingun and 480 of hybrid, or would it be split somhow so you only get 480 total ammo still.
But good idea, i like it!!!
Thats why the higher tier packs support more rounds, so u can carry for more weapons. |

If new players were given a hard enough time because of this the DUST 514 won't do so well. Never balance over idiots. I never said balance over idiots. I'm just saying consider the possibility of it being overused too much. And who are you calling idiots?
He was saying do not cater to the weak links. You cannot base a game mechanic on if it will not be understood by some. As far as overused? How? Changing ammo is a regular mechanic in Eve. It would be a much needed tool in Dust I believe. |
