Flak Jackets and Mag Hars, why they should work.

Post by Yacobpo157 » 10 Sep 2016, 23:48

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): As the magnetic harness is just a strong magnet attached to the back of a modern ballistic vest, I see no reason why this couldn't be adjusted for use with the Flak Jacket. I think this will help us PO's when our bird get's deadlined by a couple of big reds, and we have to show them who's boss.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Improve PO gameplay, balance the lack of blunt/sharp damage protection with the ability to keep a rifle.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Effectively, if I have a pulse rifle and I can't use my mag har, that makes it redundant and makes the flak vest effectively useless, so let's change that. While not improving any other stats, allow the flak vest to allow mag har attachment. So if I drop my pulse rifle after a ravager tries to FIdel Castro my bird, I get to John F Kennedy his arse without having to worry about a marine looting my dropped rifle laying next to my cold corpse. Instead, I get to kill the rav and bleed out mid flight like a TRUE PO!

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): I lack any knowledge of SS13 coding and whatnot, can't help you here it would seem.

Thanks for reading, thanks for considering, hopefully you enjoyed...

AND ENJOY THE GAME!
It's not dying after you shot it a couple of times? I think the real question is, why didn't you keep shooting?

You are not a marine, at least in terms of fighting on the front lines. The marine armors in the lore are very different from other armor.
