GLOBAL fils'de RAGE Consolidated Dust 90	Posted - 2014.12.20 05:23:00 - [1] - Quote Got this idea from IWS's implying that the HMG was more of a GAU than a minigun. The differences are rate of fire, range, caliber. A GAU is found on aircraft, have 20-30mm depleted uranium shells, and burst 40-60 rps. they are devestating weapons, but can use all on board ammo in seconds. Fix the HMG by making it difficult to support. During WWII the MG42 required a team of 6 to support 1 HMG-so make the DUST HMG a support issue. 2 logis running ammo for every 4 seconds of trigger time. BUT, everything in front of the HMG up to 300 meters should die-everything, tanks, derpships, turrets armies, and in PC&FW friendlies.
Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 5883	Posted - 2014.12.20 08:51:00 - [2] - Quote This is not a solution that adds to fun gameplay. It creates a chore. Further modern machinegun teams are three man due to a variety of reasons, not the least of which is a soldier would be very hard pressed to carry the weight of four hundred rounds plus the gun. These factors are negated by power armor. Making the huge ass gun unwieldy in CQC would be the better solution. EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.
Thaddeus Reynolds Facepunch Security 134	Posted - 2014.12.20 10:33:00 - [3] - Quote I would rather it have a set-up time to attain its full firepower...like the heavy bolter in space marine, and when setup the sentinel suit would be stationary and devastating to things in front of it, but it would need to take longer for the suit to rotate around Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper. I believe all these roles are support for front line soldiers.
Mad Syringe ReDust Inc. 424	Posted - 2014.12.20 11:05:00 - [4] - Quote I said it before, this is how a heavy should work like: Proxycon At 1.20 all hell breaks loose with this heavy entering the arena... And it also shows his slowness and immobility of the suit as it should be. At 2,40 you see somtething similar to a breach forgegun in action. The heavy should have even more HP, but it should be immobile while shooting, and only be able to rotate 90-¦ while he's shooting his gun. This initial rotation should be fast as it's now, but it would be very slow when turning more than 90-¦ (+/- 45-¦) since he would have to move his feet doing that, and no shooting while moving his feet. Range of the gun needs to be way higher, since this would make a heavy barely feasable in cqc without infantry support to cover his back. btw, when do we get friggin boarding on eve ships...

And that's why Star Citizen becomes more and more interesting... There are very good reasons for this. But if we get a strong EVE link then infantry assaults to capture /disable/destroy installations might become a thing. But ships? EVE players are REQUIRED to pay a subscription. DUST can be used to enhance and add to EVE, but it cannot be used to sh*t all over them. They absolutely require our cooperation to bombard planets. They cannot simply blast us at random. This means we cannot simply crap all over their game experience either. Anyone who fails to comprehend this needs a head check.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 20435	Posted - 2014.12.20 12:53:00 - [8] - Quote I am glad even CCP is not so incompetent at game balance to even consider this for a millisecond. Sometimes, one just has an overwhelming urge to throw a potato at someone.

Never is a long time. Why would ship boarding be out of the question, if individual Eve pilots had to opt in, making themselves vulnerable to ship boarding in exchange for some benefit? The idea that this is impossible, or even permanently impractical, to implement or balance... seems excessively cynical. The Dust/Eve Isk Exchange Thread

CELESTA AUNGM Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 377	Posted - 2014.12.21 04:02:00 - [17] - Quote ... This looks like an HMG thread that's close to being derailed into chat about ship-boarding and deck-fighting combat. My opinion about the original subject? HMGs aren't in any bad state where they need changing beyond a few finishing tweaks. They aren't a problem; as usual, cultivating team-up solutions in Dust is a problem. The HMG, like several "blocker" devices in this game, is intentionally meant to require easy but quick teamwork to defeat. An HMG carrier (carriers, since now we're seeing them operate in gangs more and more) has such unconcealable weaknesses to exploit, that when I am killed by one, I know right away it was because I was operating on my own, willing to accept the risk that getting HMG'ed is right around the next corner. Even when six blues in a pack or squad get killed going up against an HMG, it's most likely (MOST, not always) because the six were really acting like six loose individuals who just happened to be near each other when the HMG started firing. It's rare to find a group of players (cohesive squad or spontaneous teamworkers) who act like they have a pre-discussed or pre-practiced plan when encountering an HMG. I do see some earnest counter-HMG actions take place sometimes, but it's rare. As for the ship-boarding request, Breakin has the right attitude. We have loads of fun in Dust, and Eve players often envy the ground-scrambling action we have in our game that they can't have in theirs,... but make no mistake, that's as far across the tracks as the envy goes. Capsuleers will NEVER want players actively crawling around their vessels causing mayhem to their ownership. Dust mercs have to fight for a 500K ISK item----EVE player spaceships are in the BILLION-ISK arena. CCP knows (and we do too) how absurdly unfair it would be to an Eve player if she had to gamble her months-to-finally-own expensive ship on the actions of a group of players who sometimes can't guarantee even simple cohesive squad movements. It would foul their game rather than enhance it. Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne... No story can have life without writers and publishers.
GLOBAL fils'de RAGE Consolidated Dust 97	Posted - 2014.12.21 04:19:00 - [18] - Quote I mused the boarding a week ago or so. This is a digest: An EVE player wanting "more" could opt in. A small multi decked ship is needed, and CCP would need Drone AI. The game is RTS vs 6 humans. The EVE player has a budget on turrets and AI, but a huge advantage in knowing interior ship design. Can't lag AI--lol i have more, but CCP already has their hands full.

It should be on trigger pull, because the gyros would be at full rpm. Movement speed for you and the weapon would become slow, but very smooth- slaving the weapon would cause it to want to continue in that direction. gun with ammo would weight 500lbs at least. The type of weapon that i started this post with would need this limitation, in RL and science fiction.

Sentinels feel squishier than Devs. Then again, maybe I'm so used to IH/FNP loadouts lasting so long, and the much faster HP regen, that Sentinels just seem squishier but aren't. In Space Marine, I tended to get behind the enemy and brace with Expertise, then rip them several new ones while the rest of the team over in. Also quick set up in the face of ASM; boot to the head, bolt to the gut. Purifier. First Class.

The type of weapon that i started this post with would need this limitation, in RL and science fiction. "The Military Grade Clone, the core of every dropsuit, is constructed out of high quality biomass laced with nanites. The clone design itself is complete with many military decisions incorporated; such as redundancy to prevent body failure and shock, enhanced skeletal and muscular strength, improved endurance, efficient metabolism, dulled pain senses and a nanite organ support system gives unrivaled advantages over the traditional clones normally offered at many medical facilities. Encasing the innards of the clone is a bio-engineered titanium-ion based skeleton to keep the clone lightweight and strong. Throughout the body is a special artery system able to support and supply the body with nanites which enhance many bodily functions from repair, bleed prevention, and interfacing with the suit. Despite all the liberties taken in designing these nearly two and a half meter tall biological weapons, have still have to accommodate a very human physiology." Not including any mechanical enhancements a dropsuit could provide like powered exoskeletons, steroids, etc I am sure a clone could carry such and under-slung weapon. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.

Power Armour's artificial muscles and internal servos, especially those on the Sentinel suits, should be able to compensate for wielding a HMG to the point where it's not overly unwieldly/impossible to use.

One of my concerns of braced Sentinels is camping, which oddly doesn't happen much in Space Marine (but then again, what good is camping a corner when there's the Plasma Cannon, Lascannon, broken OP Vengeance Launcher or Jump Pack equipped CQC monsters who can get around it?) but we get them now so no big deal, I guess?
