Aisha Ctarl The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 303	Posted - 2013.06.21 16:38:00 - [1] - Quote This is something that has been in my mind for awhile and I'd just like to share it with everyone and get some feedback and thoughts on the idea. WEATHER Types - Snow, Rain, Storm, Sand Storm (Haboobs), Wind Storms My thought as far as weather is that weather will have an influence on players and their weapons. Snow - Weapons take longer to overheat Rain - Weapons take longer to overheat Storm - Weapons take longer to overheat/shield regen takes longer due to EM interference from lightning Sand Storm - Projectile weapons occasionally jam due to grit getting in the mechanics/reduced visibility for all players/decreased scan profile bonus for all players Wind Storm - Slight movement penalty for all players/Vehicles are buffeted by wind ......................................................................................................................................................................................................... PLANET TYPE Types - Temperate, Plasma/Storm, Lava, Water, Ice, Desert My thought as far as planet types is that they too will have and influence on players and their weapons. Temperate - Weather varies so the only influence will be from the weather at the current time Plasma/Storm - EM interference causes false radar signatures/longer shield regen times/smaller scan profiles Lava - Weapons overheat quickly/armor regens slowly with repairers Water - Weapons take longer to overheat due to high humidity/perhaps some condensation on the players' "visors" Ice - Weapons take longer to overheat/cloaking mods more efficient/perhaps projectile weapons have a shorter range due to higher air density Desert - Weapons overheat quickly/projectile weapons occasionally jam from dust and sand .........................................................................................................................................................................................................

I'd suggest that to differentiate snow from rain is snow makes overheating take longer than rain, and if they messed with scanners a bit, but less so than a Sand Storm. Also, I don't think a Storm effect should really make laser weapons take longer to overheat. (unless there is a rain+storm effect) I imagine a storm being more of just an Ion Storm, or Thunder Storm, etc that would blitz sensors. Also Wind Storm wouldn't just provide a move penalty, it would also provide a move buff, depending on the speed you are going. Also, you can modify it so Every planet has a slightly different gravity. (Although for temperate it would probably only modify by +/- 1 m/s at most. How about in sand storms all laser weapons have slightly less accuracy due to the particulates in the air dispersing their beams?

Feel free to add your comments, concerns, questions, or suggestions. I Like the Idea, Just that Every Type of Weather Shouldn't cause you Weapon to take longer to Overheat. Maybe The Rain Could Have Two Types, Water, and Acid. The Acid Rain Burns trough Exposed Armor, and the like. Good Post Though, +1 See, I don't want the environment to directly damage the player, just interfere with. For example on the lava world, the intense heat would put strain on armor plates thus making their repair rate slower, not a constant damage effect. I don't think players will be too enthused if they are killed by the environment - for example lets say I eat through your shields and get you down to 20 armor, but the "acid rain" eats through your exposed unshielded armor and kills your before your shields can regen.

Quite funny I made a post on the same topic 1 week ago wich you only added some aspect but the Idea is the same in every way. When you use other people Idea have enough respect to say it. My bad if it comes across as "idea stealing," but I have never been in the feedback section of the forums....I've had the idea for quite awhile now and posted it in general discussions but was advised to post it here as well.

Yeah I said wind should buffet vehicles and players, but snow and rain should make vehicles have less traction, while perhaps the sand storms can give them a slight movement penalty.
