How about customizing vehicles

Geist · 2004-02-15, 11:53 AM

I've read fan fiction where they customize vehicles. Why cant we actually do it.
What do you think?

Yea ive always wanted modual weapon systems for stuff. For example you could switch out the 100mm s on a prowler for quad 75s. Or make the reaver not carry any rockets, just dual 35mm. Every weapon should take up X amount of space. The default set up completly fills the weapon locker on the tank. A bigger weapon takes up more of the ammo trunk room, thus depriving you of ammo. (there are two trunks. one that stores the acctual weapon and another that carries the ammo, using weapons bigger than the origonal cuts back on your ammo trunk AND your weapon trunk)

Why can�t we do that? Well this was already brought up before. Someone wanted to implement something like the Mechwarrior sorta of Inventory layout for Vehicles. This would not work at all; an example would be a Harasser with a 100mm gun on it or a Reaver with a flux cannon�.To sum this all up the Vehicles have the payload they have now for a reason and if we change that then it will screw up everything

You cant put that kind of weaponry on the harasser with my system.
You may beable to mount a 20mm with half the ammo capasity with mine.

Yeh it wud never be done! cause too many problems! Plus its just sumthing rpg to worry bout! It's a fps fun warfare dont wanna hav to worry bout skills etc

Yea i would agree we arnt ready for it yet, but it would still be cool no?

dscytherulez · 2004-02-15, 12:16 PM

Yeah, I think it would be cool, but the system would need to be really tweaked so nothing became overpowered.

I long for a thing like MW4's hardpoint system, with wait limits too of course, how sweet would it be to mount two Sparrow luanchers on a reaver, or divebombs, in addition to the rockets

Geist · 2004-02-15, 01:03 PM

size and weight would be a good way to make sure anything doesnt get overpowered.

dscytherulez · 2004-02-15, 01:05 PM

Yeah, I'd love to see something like this implemented. Don't get your hopes up though...

Rbstr · 2004-02-15, 01:11 PM

if we all beg and whine long enought they will do anything they possibly can, Like they did with the deci, and the rexo and the other things that get fixed

dscytherulez · 2004-02-15, 01:14 PM

Adding more armor to the REXO is nothing compared to what they would have to do to implement this. This would be a major change, and if they didn't ABSOLUTELY want this in, they wouldn't put it in.

Rbstr · 2004-02-15, 01:25 PM

All i'm saying is that if everyone begs long enough and hard enough they will do anything for paying customers, because they are nice people

Geist · 2004-02-15, 05:06 PM

exactly

I think they should make vehicle inventory look like armor inventory. There would be the main space to keep ammo, and a few boxes on the side where you could place weapons like the box you would put any weapon in to equip it on armor. Each vehicle would have a certian number of slots. The slots and weapons could come in two or three different sizes, so a bassilisk couldn't equip a vanguard cannon. Wouldn't that be sweet.
