Attachments and dispensers overhaul
Summary: transfer all combat 'shooting' attachments into armory from RO
Benefits&Details: marines will be able to use different weapons and 'replenish' ammo freely instead of sticking to in-built grenade launchers, also preventing gLaucher's looting from spare rifles and boosting the queue at RO as well. Additional /-/barrel attachments will still be available in RO but w\o combat ones thus helping marines not too waste their common limit on underbarrel attachment changing if they simply want shotgun or flamethrower instead
Also It might be a good idea to transfer bayonets and flashlights (attachment version) as well because its totally common things for absolutely every soldier of every era.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): simply remove things from RO vendomate (but with possibility to order more via crates) and add specified attachments into armory's dispensers.

Re: Attachments and dispensers overhaul
Lolwut? SLs and specs the only one who can get chargers which in limited quantity btw and standard marines cant get'em, while free granade lauchers from spare rifles still may be acquired and theres no whine about that way of FF from grenade spam. Anyway how my idea about shooting attachments affect anything else? Please learn to read before comment.MauroVega wrote:Balance,full Marines with mag straps,chargers,more FF

Bayos still popular because they help to remove resin crap fast and usually the only thing to get for lately joined players while already screwdrived flashlights can speed up preparations due to the fact the only screwdriver available for standart mehrins lie only at briefing and usually some lazy ass taking it with himself or dropping in far halls.Yung wrote:>people still line up at RO for bayonets and flashlights

Re: Attachments and dispensers overhaul
I could get behind this. Making your own bayonets can be a pain in the ass. But why are people still using flashlight attachments when we have an armor light?

Re: Attachments and dispensers overhaul
Basically theres 2 reasons 1) in-built flashlight has shorter range then standart one (if this not changed in last updates), 2) if RO out of dots and maghars its the best optionDesolane900 wrote:I could get behind this.

Flashlight attachments add nothing statwise though. There's literally no point to putting it on your gun.qDan wrote:Basically theres 2 reasons 1) in-built flashlight has shorter range then standart one (if this not changed in last updates), 2) if RO out of dots and maghars its the best option

Re: Attachments and dispensers overhaul
There's always throwing your gun when you run out of ammo to have it illuminate the area.
If you want to automate vendors, I'd rather have it use the money mechanic already present in the code. Basically: A marine starts with enough money on his bank account to buy two attachments and a laptop. SLs and Specs get one more. Attachment vendors take a sum of money when you swipe your ID.

Re: Attachments and dispensers overhaul
I was thinking about suggesting making attachments have a price. We have EFTPOS device for some reason, isn't it?Derpislav wrote:There's always throwing your gun when you run out of ammo to have it illuminate the area.

Re: Attachments and dispensers overhaul
-1 from me
The RO line (besides RP of getting equipment issued from a Quartermaster), serves an invisible balance purpose. It gives the aliens some preparation time to set up the battlefield, and the commander time to set up briefing.
On top of this, giving marines unrestricted access to attachments trivializes them a bit.
