Crouched down

Post by kael224 » 28 Apr 2017, 00:26

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):The idea in general is to make possible to the marines to crouched down so they can't get FF , since is the most annoying thing in this game.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):No more FF with marines.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):The idea is to make a simillar skill like the runners have (The "hide" one) with , of course , a drag back.When we use it we move 50% more slow but we don't get shoot by the other ones who are not crouched down.(maybe let us even aim better while we are like this)

Well, if we made it an ability, we'd either have to make a marine ability tab or fit it into IC/Object tabs, which seem a tad clunky. Could it possibly be worked into walk intent?

I was thinking that.

Same reason why things like fat sprites get shot down on other servers. It would take a overwhelming amount of spriting work to sprite very single clothing combination to make it viable.

Well , just dont make the sprite an job done... Or just move all the icon 10 or 20 pixels down when you enter in the stance.In that way you dont need to make new sprites and is easy to see who is using it and who dosent

I foresee this maybe being a bit too OP. FF is the only thing keeping marines from all being smartgunners, this would essentially allow for massive fucking firing lines that can easily destroy anything coming towards it.

Eh, I'd +1 this if the suggestion were that the crouch position removed the capabillity to move at all whilst in that position. That way when you go crouch you're stationary and have someone standing above you to shoot over your head and we don't end up with a entire ship of Dwarves because they all crouch from presumed FF from the get go. Perhaps even make it so when you crouch:
  • You remain stationary.
  • A fragment better accuracy to your shots.
  • Standing Marines can shoot over your head when crouched.
  • Higher chance of being tackled during this positions activity.
Though that's my opinion anyways.

You can fix the sprite issue by just shadowing out the marine's features. So you are only left with armor
