Cans of whoop-ass. 5. I should imagine that role specific suits for HAZMAT usage would, yes. Could that mean we'll have suits specifically for being underwater? Well, that's not something that I could possibly comment on, like I said previously, it would depend on where game direction is going and that's something that isn't my job. I do however love to swim, and being Gallente, I am renowned across the Federation for my rather flamboyant breaststroke technique.

Goric Rumis Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 173	Posted - 2013.06.16 17:47:00 - [34] - Quote BL4CKST4R wrote: But wouldn't it be boring as hell to fight in a vacuum, since sound doesn't travel in a vacuum , a plasma planet (assuming atmosphere) would cause significant damage to our suit and other electronics, specially shields. Actually that could be really cool and kinda creepy. The only sounds you'd hear would be coming from your suit, so you'd hear the rebreather and the sounds of shots fired and the sounds of being hit, but only as passed through your suit. It would require a whole rework of the sound design specifically for that environment--but then again, it would require a rework of physics and everything else, too. No-gravity movement, no drop on the mass driver or plasma cannon, substantially longer ranges for projectiles as well given that there's no friction. You'd have to re-design many elements of the game, and then the players would have to get used to fighting with completely different rules. Could be amazing in terms of variety. As for hazard environments, I like it. I already like having to move from cover to cover and planning out your route to reach a certain point. Having a hazard environment would be another factor to consider. If you're speedy and focus on tanking environment damage you could get to some unusual spots. If you're a heavy, just stay indoors unless it's a very short jog to the next facility. It would make some things less important (like snipers, unless you're one of those clever ones who can get into an unusual spot up in the catwalks of an enormous hangar or something), and some things absolutely critical (like drop uplinks). And if you could drop something like transporter uplinks (i.e., step into a "downlink" and pop up in a corresponding "uplink"), then you have a new role that specifically ensures your team can get from one facility to the next.

Donnerwerk The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 25	Posted - 2013.06.16 19:10:00 - [36] - Quote so you're gallente you say? so you invented some kind of floating armor plates? I think you'd rather drop like a stone and die on the cold dark bottom of the ocean ground

I should imagine that role specific suits for HAZMAT usage would, yes. Sadly this Dev didnt do his home work before posting. The 'Minmatar' medium suits are actually repurposed Sisters of Eve hazard suits, and therefore are hazmat rated.

Try not using your inertial dampener, and you'll find out I recently survived a fall from the MCC :) I had 109 armour left after the fall, but am not sure how much shield/armour I had on the suit to start with. Not sure which map it was either.
