Glass isn't stopping the lead anymore...

[Dirty Old Harry]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make glass windows and glass panes unable to stop bullets in their tracks.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Remember walking into Medbay on Big Red and seeing the xeno queen standing there behind the glass but you can't engage her BECAUSE THERE'S GLASS IN THE WAY? Well now have bullets pass through glass and still deal damage to the glass and such.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): A glass window, reinforced or not shouldn't be able to stop every bullet in it's tracks. Now xenos that sit behind glass windows and such won't be able to spam the dance emote and instead will now get peppered with gunfire, keep in mind that bullets should still destroy glass in several shots but it shouldn't be able to stop bullets completely.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Some tricky work to be done here unless you can make projectiles ignore certain tiles.

This would be incredibly overpowered in terms of marine defense, I just imagine an FOB surrounded by glass.

It wouldn't help as a defence since a few bullets would shatter it and you would need to get glass from Almayer in order to build it, it would basically be like a hive using membrane for a defence, there's a reason you never see membrane being used in the place of actual walls.

So... the IC logic here is that a handful of bullets pass through the glass before shattering it completely? Kind of like how a window in HL2 breaks?

If so, I'll +1.

Bingo, watch any video on youtube about someone shooting through glass, 9 times out of ten a bullet will pass through the glass and will weaken it and then after a few more shots, the glass crumbles.

Make acid splatter cause 2x more damage in the presence of glass.

I don't even think there are really any non-reinforced windows either.

But are reinforced windows bullet proof? They can already shatter if shot so they aren't bulletproof, so it would make sense if the bullets went through the glass before it shattered completely

A 9mm would be able to pass through, but a window of such size and width would just shatter it completely.

Unless it's safety glass in which it acts more like the glass you see in Half life.

should also suggest Queen screech breaks all glass around her for muh immershun

+1!!

I imagine that reinforced glass would be bullet proof, but idk.

If we are to make this change, we will have to change certain things on both fortified glass and unprotected glass to balance the game for both sides. I support you in this, but I believe it is not necessary for this change to be accomplished. Perhaps, if we added some RNG involving its suggestion, it would be possible and balanced enough for implementation. Even so, I doubt that this will be put into play. Anyway, great idea.

My war on glass in video games can come to a new front.
