Restocking Underflamers

Post by Dirty Old Harry » 04 Jan 2017, 18:22

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): I like burning things, don't you? The fact that you can't restock the underbarrel flamer after it's had it's four or five shots is a tad disappointing so let's have the ability to refuel it.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): More reason to take the attachment and makes sure the Marines can keep giving the Aliens some sweet Promethium! Also makes it slightly easier to clear hives or weeded areas.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Simply strip the weapon once the fuel is depleted then use it on a fuel tank to refuel it and smack it back on the gun and boom, cooking with gas again!

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Few lines of code or whatever and bingo.

That one old man that USED to run around as Engineer building retarded table forts and developing relationships on a questionable level with sentry turrets. Now I run around as someone equally stupid, doing equally stupid shit as a Medic. Oh and Pookie, that's also me.

but the sprite shows them as lit all the time

You know what happens when you smack a tank with something lit right? +1 for possiblities
James "Car" Irving: You don't need to be the best to be a hero. You don't even need to be smart. Being a hero comes from the heart. That, and a pack full of napthal and hand grenades.
Edward Roth: The promotion and transfer to Military Police was great on paper. The living hell of keeping a ship full of trained killers running smoothly wasn't on that paper.
Mary Adams: She didn't want to be here, but how else could she get to finish medschool? And who the hell else is gonna know the difference between Tricord and Kelotane?
Kimley Greco: Too cool for school, wears cans like a tool.
Xenos killed with a welding tool: 1
Times blown up self or others with grenades: Lost count.

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams... -1.

No, seriously, this could be good for marines, but don't very good for aliens, but since I'm a marine player, I'll go for a +1
"In 100 years more we will be a story.In 200 years an epic period.In 500 years a medieval tale.
In 1,000 years a relic. In 5,000 years archaeological remains. In 10,000 years an ancient mystery.
In 20,000 years a legend like Atlantis. We are nothing. Life is so short and death so long. "

Devs said that a similar suggestion regarding underslung grenade launchers wasn't possible due to how they are currently coded. I assume that this suggestion is similarly not possible currently.
