yeah i know its a nitpicking but, can name of magazines be changed from "clip" to... wait for it... magazine/mag/mags? I would love to see that dust (im arma player so i have this fetish  ), a game that puts so much emphasis in details, is using correct terminology, well at least when it comes to assault rifles cuz i play with them, and from where im standing im reloading mags not using clips to reload magazines... |

This is nit picky..... I am not disputing it just stating the obvious.
As far as storing the ammunition in Magazines. I am assuming that is to stop the frequent Tactical reload(reloading your gun every time there is a lull in the fight so you are fighting with a full gun.) What would happen to the left over ammunition in the magazine you just replaced? If you say you lose it that kills any realistic intent you had with putting the ammo in the magazines. In my experience if you pull a half spent mag to put in a fresh one the 1/2 goes in a pocket. Hence the next question would you then start cycling half spent magazines when the full ones run out? What about Ammo consolidation would that then be a feature you would expect? Or would you require running the gun dry in order to reload(Combat reload) which would then happen in the middle of a fight which is also not true to real life. Not wanting to start a fight I just want to understand the request.
Respectfully,
TimmyTron

There is already a thread dedicated to this idea and it can A) be waived away by nanites, B) does not add fun to the game, even if it potentially adds immersion, and C) it adds unnecessary server/processor load to track every magazine individually. I can't support it. |

Hmmm my point is to just change "clip/s" to mag/magazines/mags
nothing more, just to make dust more professional/correct, just sugesting to change one word cuz...

From what I understand the spent magazines are reholstered to be refilled on demand from onboard supply in eve based world is highly possible and technically feasible for it to happen. Just the problem with the plank bubble is that it doesnt work so well under high amounts of stress so it cannot be locally stored on the weapon itself. Also its more things on the gun that could break.
The 'pool' is stored in a plank bubble of sorts thus increasing your knowledge of how the bubble works with materials allows storage of more munitions safely. Supply nanos from nanohives would resupply bullets by manufacturing htem inside the storage area of the suit.
Finally not every 'ammo' is a solid peice of something, some of these things are coolant, batteries, energycels, bullets, spring jars, ect ect and not everything can be reloaded as a 'magazine' typically can some are like the shotgun one shell at a time some are box only that you cannot reload a half empty magazine or shouldnt. be able to.
What they need to add though imo is holstered weapons on the character model. and possibly hosltered magazines.
Magazine or Clip arent also universal to all weapons in dust 514 likely, there would be probably different storage devices to each thing. A box of rockets, a belt of ammo, a clip of antimatter charges, a magazine of tungeten darts an array of batteries.
At least eve can get away calling each round a 'charge' just what to universally call the container for charges is up in the air still.
Mind you this is a - post space based apocalsype w/ dark ages x3, earth is a myth, universe, alot of things have been forgotten and there are things that are simply not named the same. Blame amarrians for preserving the metric system though. |
