Alternate Ammo and Active Suit Abilities
It's that Fritz again. Throwing ideas at the wall and hoping that they stick. I was just in the neighborhood
and was wondering how we can transition different ammo types into Dust. I know that in EVE the different
types of weapons do different types of damage which affect the defenses of a ship differently. I had a few
ideas on how we can cross it back over to Dust, make it mesh with a tactical fps, and make it a little more
immersive both in numbers and in the game play. Lets just say for the sake of argument, that all weapons
due the same kind of damage. No bonuses or penalties, just damage. You go against a lot of amarian suits so
you, in game, use your utilities and charge up explosive or kinetic rounds, for greater punch into suit
armor, for a duration. If you're a scout, you can charge up Magnetic rounds and now your weapon disrupts
their radar a bit and they can't use their radar for a short delay. Now you are in duck and cover shootout.
You keep hitting targets but they keep hiding and recharging their shields. Well you switch to incendiary
ammo, and now they take damage over a duration based off your weapons dmg. Someone yell for the logi, I'm
on fire. Next you see a scout suit, and man is he quick. Jumping around, being annoying. You switch to
Neutralizing ammo. Now every shot you hit also deals damage to his suits energy. No more sprinting and
jumping. Disrupter ammo makes the enemies aim sway when you hit them.
Other ideas of ammo types:
Cryo: Slows movement
Tractor: Moves the target closer
Gravity: moves the target backwards
Signal Rounds: reveals enemies on the map
Lock on rounds: Follows designated target. (single target, not duration)
Thermal, Kinetic, Em, Explosive.
The ammo would mesh well as a utility and active ability from my first post, Utilities and Suit
agmentations
Let me know what you think.
Committed suicide....again...

Not enough power in the ps3 or the manpower to do these kinds of neat ideas. At most the team can change the stats of guns and intruduce skins of items,but anything that works directly with the game engine(like that ammo type) is just a shade or two too much for the team.
Ha!You can't kill me! I'm already dead!

I was hoping by ammo types you meant like EvE ammo types where it affects efficiency.
EG
I'll bring infrared crystal to get those people who are just outside 105m... Squad going inside? Switch to gamma crystal to support at close range.
Which should be possible to do. All it does is change efficiency at different ranges (And damage but hmm) .
But for special ability ammo? It'll be taxing on the console cause Dust simply taxes the console. Yknow?
Forever ADS. Best role.

I want factions to have weapons for sale in the factional stores that are named with something that represents is element type and a skin on the weapon that shows its element type... obviously there should be basic adv and proto versions (proto will be a darker version of the element type)
Electricity does more damage to shields and less to armor is a light blue at basic, adv is a basic blue, pro is navy blue with bright blue lights.
Fire does less damage to shields and more to armor and is light red at basic, fire red at adv and, flames at pro with a shark face on the barrel.
Toxin (yes finally the smg is worth it) Light green at basic and does -50% damage to shields and +30% damage to armor , adv is a darker green etc ... (still can't get over smg meaning something I really need one)
Cryo is ice blue and does negated damage to shields but slow down suits when shot at armor, adv pro so on...
Now there's a need for suits that can hold up against these weapons they should also be sold in loyalty store (BTW if you think I've been talking a about bpos all this time you're wrong) I want these to be bpcs so now there's more of a reason to play factional and this would really help the market...
This is my new event please make it grow... |
