Radical. Thank god we had that first discussion.

Also, could this go up there? https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=512777#post512777

I mean I find it unreasonable that every battle to take place in New Eden only has two sides. I feel like it would also intensify battles, because there's twice the enemies, but half of them are trying to kill the other half as well.

Everything sounds great to me except for MCC destruction.

While I think it would be incredible to watch an MCC skid to a halt in front of your face as a match finishes, if you have ever played Final Fantasy VII you will know why I disagree with this small idea as it is now.

In FF7 there is a summon you can use which initiates a cutscene of about five hours showing all of the awesome special effects the PSone could muster. In any battle where this summon was used more than once it became hugely tedious.

My suggestion is to simply have an option somewhere to turn it off for yourself or have it skippable.

So you're saying that while the MCC is crashing we can still get kills? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of a pretty light show? And if the plan is not to allow kills then wouldn't it be just the same as a cutscene?

Personally I felt the destruction of the MCC wiped everyone out at the end of a match anyway as the mercs have done their job and are now disposable.

This all sounds great, and I would love to have this stuff. i just think that as players we ask for a lot. I also feel as though we forget that this is a free game. Not that it shouldn't be as great as the rest. This is not just coming from your post but as I see it everyday there is something new that we want for free. A jetpack, a hoverbike, and so many more. I think we should be satisfied with the fact that it is a great game and it is free. Just my opinion. Don't get me wrong those are great ideas and it would be nice to have them, but I think we need to be happy with what we have. The game is fine the way it is, with the exception of a few tweaks to what already exist, and I am sure it is going to get better.

would need another button right? what would you propose?

also what do you think about leaning around corners? would be cool but again would need more buttons which is fine for KBM but not for controller users unless leaning was a SIXAXIS option (only when stationary)

Merc bio: was already under 'character sheet' along with employment history etc, most character sheet sub menus (including merc bio) were removed until they serve a purpose.

Wobbling HUD: was already in game in builds before precursor, reason for removal unknown.

[Animations]

>> Vehicle entering, seat switching, and exiting animations: Not only would be more immersive, but would make use of vehicles more balanced since those in vehicles won't be able to instantly switch seats to dodge shots.

Reloading animation.

nothing bad about it, but would be nice to have a different reloading mechanic other than drawing a clip from the same magical left side of our Dropsuits. would be awesome to have a few reloading animations where your pull out a clip from a different section of your dropsuit.

PS4 feature maybe?

Visual variety is very important to me, both for keeping my interest, and for immersion as well (we are suppose to be fighting on thousands of planets). Its much easier to create skyboxes then terrain since there aren't any balace issues to worry about, its purely art.
After CCP's art guys showed what they were capable of with the Caldari Prime event, I thought about the things that could be done with skyboxes.

[I would like to see]

Stars and nebulae: Some planets have very low atmospheres and/or low sunlight, which means the stars and nearby nebulae should be very visible. I want to see more skyboxes with visible stars and nebulas. I would also like to see stars and nebulae as well on planets without these conditions during the nighttime. The nebulas and stars we see can be based on which region of New Eden we are in. Click here and here for pretty picture.

Moons: Many planets have moons, 1 or more. I would like to see them in the sky. Click here for pretty picture.

Auroras: The district we are fighting on could be near the magnetic North of the planet, and auroras have been observed in many planets in our solar system. I want to see them on Dust planets as well. Click here for pretty picture.

Thank you for reading.

Right now, our reload is cyclic.

We begin to reload but then do something like throw a grenade, sprint, or jump, and we have to restart the whole thing again.

Progressive reload is based on the progress made during reload. This would allow us to complete certain phases of reload without resetting. So we could take out the mag, sprint, load the new mag, jump, and set the hammer. It seems unreasonable that when I sprint after loading a new mag, I take that magazine out. It's perfectly fine yo! Don't take it out you just put it in!

Being able to destroy a tank, but not some weak civilian truck laying around the map really breaks immersion.

Things like roadblocks (including the concrete ones), boxes, those large truck vehicles on the map, it would be nice if all these things could be destroyed. It would really help make the battlefield feel more believable.

The civilian vehicles can blow up just like battle vehicles and installations, while other less explosive assets can have 3 versions with various levels of damage that they change between as they take more damage.

I would ask for destructible surface infrastructure pieces including the outposts and stuff, but I know that its asking too much for now.

This request is just about immersion.

When we just appear in the merc quarters, war barge, MCC, and CRU, it would really be better for our clones to be waking up instead of just appearing out of thin air. From what I understand, we travel between the merc quarters and the war barge by transferring our consciousness to a clone already there, and then transfer our consciousness back to the MQ after the battle is over (jump clones).

With this in mind it would make more sense to have us waking up in the war barge and MCC in bodies that were already there, hanging on racks of clones (like in this image), and then being released from the rack to walk around instead of just appearing out of nowhere.
With the merc quarters however, instead of showing our characters just materialize, have them wake up from the bed.
Just materializing out of nowhere does make sense for drop uplinks though since they are essentially wormholes.
I would like for us to awaken from inside a CRU as well; it kind of bothers me when I see a merc just materialize next to a CRU instead of coming out of it. The CRU would need doors that open from which to eject players out (in like half a se...
