Very simple. I want to rapell from a galaxy or phantasm in PS2. Likewise towers/base walls, cliff walls, whatnot.
limitations within reason don't bother me. I just think it would be awesome to do. Last edited by p0intman; 2011-07-18 at 11:44 PM. |

Would it completely replace hot dropping though? I've actually been thinking about this that the modern player might frown for dropping a couple of hundred feet with no aid and not taking damage or anything.
A fast rapelling speed and, although a bit unrealistic, you would rapell with a rope from any height, even max height (long ass rope ![]() Although, this would mean that the thing would have to be stationary... which makes it a very dangerous thing to attempt.. |

I was actually thinking let the rope move with the gal, or the phantasm. anyone on it moves with them. That would be fun and potentially a way to pass the boredom when/if it comes up. might even inspire teamwork and trust in a gal pilot. |

Since hotdropping from a Gal isn't broken, I don't think it needs to be "fixed" with rapelling. However, when the devs talk about more vertical gameplay, specifically like scaffolding along a cliff wall, something like rapelling becomes alot more useful. Maybe this is going to be part of the role of jetpacks, but I like the idea of rapelling down a cliff to get to a vantage point, or rapelling from a roof down to a seldom used access point for a sneak attack.

Kind of defeats the purpose of kinetic dampeners when you can just repel out of an aircraft. On one hand repelling out of an aircraft is very cinematic and cool looking, but it seems like it would only slow down hot drops. Maybe if certain vehicles were restricted from hotdropping it would make sense.
On the other hand seeing a huge dropship fly over and dropping off a ton of people glowing blue on top of me often instigates a sudden bowel movement in my pants. Basically, hot dropping is fine as it is now but it could possibly be a skill gained further in the skill tree for vehicles that are restricted for hot drops...Even though that's stupid and doesn't make any sense. |

I think you've hit the nail on the head.
One thing that's being ignored here is the possibility of going UP a rope (or monofilament line). Grapple guns, sky hooks from a gal. Similar to the airlift in Batman Begins, your troops stand near one another and pop their skyhook tethers. The Gal pilot flys into/below them, and you're all carried off with the Galaxy. |
