Mounting Crushers as a marine

Post by spheretech » 14 Feb 2016, 23:45

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): I just wanna post this because it sounds awesome but I doubt it will fit in. Imagine hopping onto a crusher's back and riding it, while it tries to shake you off you stab or shoot the back of it's head until it dies.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Badassery/10

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
I'm thinking if a crusher gets stunned, if you're quick, you can hop onto it and ride it wherever it goes. Then the crusher may be able to shake you off SOMEHOW. This is a very rough idea but if others can fill in we may work something out.

inb4 Marine hops on a Crusher and proceeds to defect to the Xeno side, gunning down his former buddies as he rides his Crusher mount to glory.

If by some godly marvel of coding this could have the sliver of a chance of being added in, then I'd be all for it.

If we can ride Rhinos in real life, why not? But I will just kill marines bcuz the crusher sends the rider plasma and it gives the rider the power to kill his marines. Also we should be able to do this with aliens. Imagine a damn carrier just shooting huggers nonstop.

I can only imagine that scene from starship troopers when I read this.

All the crusher has to do is roll over and the marine is nothing more than a red paste on the ground.

I like the idea, if only because it could work as a sort of critical hit system. Just fire down at the weak connecting point that is the neck once you're on it's back, watch as the bullets just saw that dome off. Profit.

Neutral

I think this has the makings of something really good, it really does, but I'm not sure how well it could be implemented, or if it can be at all. I'm no coder, I don't know the basics of SS13 code (though I do hope to one day) so I can't claim that it will or won't work, so I'd like to hear a staff member or developer's opinion on this one before casting my vote.

WE RIDE

Would ride a crusher as we slowly form a personal connection, bond over hardship and tragedy, ultimately save the galaxy with the power of friendship. And then I would shoot it to death.

It would actually be pretty damn cool if shooting them while riding them dealt more damage.

And the marine would probably die from the acidic bloody spray.

This kind of mindset is what I hate about you guys.

Fuck it. It's not gonna be added, and if it is, it'll be drowned in Crusher player's complaints because they keep getting killed over and over and can't be tanks anymore because the marines keep climbing on them instead of shooting the crest.

Grudging +1, I don't even know why at this point.
