REMOTE DETONATED MASS DRIVERS- The round doesn't explode until you press the fire button a second time.
PROS:
Can cause mass driver splash damage without requiring projectile impact.
CONS:
No damage is done at all unless the trigger is pressed a second time after the grenade has been launched. Direct hits are just duds, causing no to very little damage, like 30pts or less.
That would really encourage precise timing and interesting aiming, basically adding a new dynamic to an old weapon without making it op. (Would also add to the anti air a.v. game)
Thoughts?
Is that all you brought? How disappointing. I was hoping for a challenge.

My thoughts are this. It would be used about as much as the Breach MD.

What would happen to the round then? If I didn't detonate it?
I was thinking of it being more like those bombs Ethan hunt uses at the beginning of MI3, the magnetic ones. Basically, I was thinking this would be a remote explosive launcher. You fire a slower round that stayes in place when I hits a surface and then you detonate it with l1

Sounds like a tf2 sticky bomb launcher.

Sounds like the Vengeance Launcher from Space Marine. No thanks, I'd rather not deal with that hell again.

Also, why not just make the BMD, do tons of damage to vehicles by making fire an AV grenade, instead of normal MD grenade? would make so much more sense and would be a true AV support weapon.

Honestly, this seems more like a weak RE than anything. Even if you assign R1 to fire nades and L1 to detonate them, you're basically just making a RE trap that also takes up a weapon slot.
A clever and original idea, I like the out-of-the-box thinking, but this idea in practice wouldn't really be so useful.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

Flux MD would be great on a gal mando to do some Caldari hunting. Low armor damage to make it hard against armor but still easy against cal. Would need a new sound effect though, a flux sound effect.

It would if you either increase the splash damage OR increase the splash radius.

yeah.
how weak can you get?
remote damage that you don't even have to walk up to deploy.
zero risk.
let's see. I'd just go jumpy, lay down these little bombs, then hide like a beyatch
such good game play
