Do you ever wonder why people are still posting to the Features and Ideas Discussion thread?

Because i have possible Features and Ideas that I'd like to Discuss.

Figures, I try to state my point about basic suits and immediately get attacked.

Give me a consistently valid reason as to how a basic suit brings ANY SORT of balance to this game. I dare you to not pull **** out of your ass.

It wasn't so much you stating it, more the zorish attitude you took towards stating it that got you attacked.

And you were wrong.

Basic suits have a place.

Hell I would venture to say that they are more versitile then their specialized counterparts.

With that being said, a basic suit used as an assault vs assault suit (assuming equal skill and neither has the jump) assault will win.

Hands down.

One thing you can not do is come in state your opinion say you are right with no proof other than a one or two time thing and assume that everyone will agree with you.

So, next time, gather data, compare yourself to others, look at how user friendly it is (teach someone to use it, and see how quick they catch on).

Then formulate your argument, and finally subit it for review.

That is how these things work.

P.S. your corp name sucks fix it. And if you need to know why it sucks you didn't watch the movie close enough, because I caught it the first time I watched it.

Interesting conversation here:

Thad's proposing a less binary EWAR system. One where scanned returns are not constant, but rather blip onscreen at calculated intervals. The interval would be derived from measuring the difference between scanner's precision and scannee's profile. For Zor's sake, an illustration with sounds and no numbers:

Triple damped Gal Scout gets scanned:
...............

'The hell?'
*scans again*
..........
'Must be broken.'
*gets shotgunned*
'Ohhhhhhhh... that explains it.'

Assault gets scanned:
Blip .. blip .. blip .. blip

Heavy gets scanned:
Blip blip blip blip blip

Dampened Heavy gets scanned:
Blip .. blip .. blip .. blip

And so on ...

I understand that Thad's is not an entirely novel suggestion, but I think you'll all agree that it is good to see old ideas coming from new places.

That was the point, much like Vader (Vader's-Fist) lost his hand. So has Kylo Ren.

Before we get too, froggy, bear in mind the only thing differentiating suit classes to begin with is speed and HP count as far as "behind the helmet" look/feel.

Once you break away from the extraneous crap, they all pretty much play the same way at the core level, with very little variation, and not much, if anything, to differentiate significantly between classes as far as actual functionality go.

My opinion of course.

Your Mileage may vary.

Did he? Really? Look closer, he still has his hand at the end of the fight.

As I said you need to look closer at the scene ;)

The jedi just knocks it out of his hand, the jedi does not cut it off.

Anakins arms got burned off in the battle against Obi Wan in the lava pits, which brought about the suit for Vader. Which is why Darth Vader can't use force light ing, no real hands.

Kylo Ren, still had his hands, or else he would be screaming like ****.

Why does force lightning have to come from finger tips? Surely any number of body parts could do. Nose, knees, ears.

Sounds like Vader wasn't very creative.

Which considering they Dark Side can only ever conceive Death Star variations, may actually make sense.

The reason why Vader never used force lightning was because his armor was weak to it. His armor had built in life support and lightning would destroy it and kill him if he ever used it.

No, he literally could not do it. He had no real hands. Don't come in here trying to say **** when you don't know ****. Yes, he was weak to lightning. BUT he literally could not produce force lightning, not because he was weak to it.

That is like saying I can't shoot a gun because i am weak to ******* bullets.

We got a kick out of that as well. You'd think Empire's Corp of Engineers would've developed by now a clever alternative to x-wing-sized maintenance tunnels. Fool me once ... lol.

Onto other things that boggle the mind, what's the thinking behind the little jets on the sides of that bad guy's light saber? Darth Maul's variation I can appreciate, but tiny little side jets?

Anyone can edit a wikia, anyone.

Your argument has now been rendered invalid.

It's not just a wiki, it's a forum of that wiki.

Again, I respect you Breakin, but the core level of play does not matter so much.

Whatever you say bub, your argument still has become invalid

How so?

Core level design dictates the details of play. Unless the suits are distinct at a core, play level, then the ballance of the game is dictated on a slider variation and nothing more.

None of the dropsuits offer any features distinct and unique to that suit, instead relying on a nebulous stat variation that can be OP or UP based solely on slot layout.

So yes, core play absolutely matters.

It affects literally everything you do in the game.
