Ultimate Badass B18

[contactdenied]

+1, I plan on playing spec one day, and B18 is probably the thing I'll go for, next to the smartgun. An internal synthesizer of tricord would be great, and injecting it right into your blood stream instead of it popping up in your hand helps a lot too. Possibly, the armor could also have an emergency switch, which would be unusable if the wearer is on their feet and fine, but would have the option to activate if the wearer is in crit. It would inject maybe 5 units of oxycodone for a last stand or to escape. The oxycodone can be synthesized too, but it takes much longer than the tricord synthesizer to recharge, so it makes specs use their emergency switch when absolutely necessary. Anchors also shouldn't be able to block chargers, pounces I'm fine with, but instead when the crusher charges into a anchored B18 spec, the spec is torn out of the ground and makes the anchors unusable for a period of time. The B18 wearer is flung away as a normal marine would, but not as far. The charger that ran into the anchored B18 spec would also be stunned on the ground for a period of time. The armor also lessens the chance of broken bones or banged up organs, but not by that much. Anchoring could take maybe 3 seconds to anchor into the ground, and 3 seconds to unanchor.

OK, we REALLY need this now with the shared inventory. B18 is still super weak and has yet to be fixed for some unknown reason.

Not being able to recharge trico is just adding salt to the wound on how bad the b18 is. These ideas are all pretty great.

It can essentially become a counter to crusher, or at least close with this. Add boots and everyone's happy. We need this more than ever.


Bump.

[Casany]

Come on, anyone who reads this. B18 is super weak for being a strong armor. A few foot slashes or two runners can kill you. So bump!

[Boltersam]

I'd advise against bumping this every fifteen minutes. It is a good suggestion, though.

finally, my armor will actually be better than that other yucky muhreen armor.

[Karmac]

Please

With the B18, the only thing that should be able to easily kill you, is being dragged away from your squad mates and nested.

While you can still die the conventional way, it should be as hard for Xenos to kill a B18 as it is for Marines to kill a Crusher.

[ZDashe]

B18 feet protection needs to be fixed so badly.. enuff said on that, but I would definitely love to see crushers lose more momentum when they hit a B18 spec if possible. B18s should still be knocked and flung out of their path when rammed, but they should probably only get broken bones if the crusher hit them at max momentum.

1+ There should also be a facemask for extra badassery

Gotta keep it on the front page until it's stickied

B18 being something between power armor and a combat exosuit would be kickass, and would give the marines a functional "tank" without the whole mess that is vehicle sprites.

[Arbiter375]

Give B18 armor defensive boots so people do not die over Xenos slashing their feet.

[TheMaskedMan2]

While we are talking about B18.

1. Give boots, please. BOOTS

2. Have the injectors inject directly into bloodstream instead of sticking it in your hand.

3. Have the injection contain some tramadol as well.

4. 3 max injection storage. One regenerates every 15 minutes. Auto injects when you enter crit.

[Swagile]

Shouldn't be 15 mins since thats way too long and you can easily re-vend tricord injectors in a Nanomed in seconds.

[TheDonkified]

3 - 5 minutes sounds good. Regen isn't too quick, but it would be quicker than being at hydro and running all the way back to the DS just to refill injectors.

NanoMeds can be wrenched and brought to any FOB with power, no one bothers to do it though.

I know this is possible, but I'm reluctant to just star unwrenxhung nanomeds because it's so weird looking considering it's a floating sprite. Also, there are definitely shitler POs and MPs that will have tantrums seeing the nanomeds taken from the dropships.

It's the same situation as using bolted glass air locks for cockpit windows I would think.

[Casany]

Bump because B18, even with the GL, is still weak. Literally one mature hunter can take down a B18 with no help from other xenos with the click delay for firing

[Jroinc1]

This would be really nice to have.
