ArrowHate wrote: The problem with some of these items is that it will change the fundamentals of the game. If zombies become some kind of uber worker alternative... AND we get to make them, then they will become an more important in the game long term then they realy should be. This stuff should be fun... But it shouldn't be long-term balance effecting additions. Re: The Zombies... Make them useful and non-buildable or useless and buildable. Both useful and buildable is asking for trouble in the long-term. This is a very good point that I think should be considered when suggesting holiday item ideas. I personally am not looking for items that will significantly alter the flow of the game, just some fun items to throw in that are 'bonuses' for people that play during the holiday. I might have gone overboard with the Zombies, but, they will merely be a worker alternative. I cannot make them super worker substitutes. We will have special Halloween station kits. I personally am thinking a weakness to heat and transference, but resistances to other damage types. If I can make stationkits with higher starting space, the Halloween kits will have it. I like the idea of the Jack o' Lantern Thorax as well, and I feel it should be a building project, so perhaps you will see that when we add the droplist. It will be one of the harder to get items, and will require you to really go after other Halloween drops (similar to the Damned Spirit ship). Finally, I am thinking about adding a special Halloween combat drone. If any of the "#1 Drone Master Fans" have suggestions, it would be appreciated. Currently, I am looking at something around Level 10 that will be a nice perk if people who use drones can get a full set. Caelestis |

uses ak47 for the job wrote: Death Killed Over- same as DWO but different name =p What about if it was slightly smaller, like maybe 60 size instead of 85...? As for drones... I've got a couple ideas... Code: NAME: "Witch Way Drone" DRONE TYPE: Stationary Drone TECH: 13 SIZE: 113 WEIGHT: ~113,000 LIFESPAN: 13 minutes ELEC COST: 3113 SHIELD: ~Dead/Undead 'stop' RESISTS: 13% to everything, cept 90% to radiation WEAPON: Witch's Curse Witch's Curse Damage Type: Laser, Etherial Damage: 130 (100 dps) Recoil: 1.3 seconds Range: 313 Special: Short Random Tweak (some positive, some negative, affecting things like speed, weight, tracking, range, agility, thrust... sometimes gives forced thrust, sometimes forced turn, sometimes -100% thrust or turning, but each only for 0.5-1.5 seconds...) AQUISITION: Random Drop AND/OR Blueprint, Requires: -----1 Soul Magic Drone -----1 Cursed Rod (Weapon, Random Uncommon AI Drop) -----5,000 Metals -----10,000,000 Initial & Periodic Credits SUMMARY: A neat drone with very random results. The DPS isn't great compared to alot of weapons and drones out there, but the random tweaks could be a great asset in combat. I wasn't sure if this one would need a BP or not, so I put it in there anyways... Code: NAME: Pumpkin Pie Launcher DRONE TYPE: Mobile Drone, DM ONLY TECH: 10 SIZE: 40 WEIGHT: ~80,000 LIFESPAN: 11 minutes SHIELD: Strong shield, zombiestop? RESISTS: 50% Heat WEAPON: Pumpkin Pie Pumpkin Pie Damage Type: Heat, Thorax(orange) Damage: 210 (300 dps) Recoil: 0.7 seconds Range: 275-325 Tracking: Regular Thorax Special: Very short grem effect, forced turn no thrust AQUISITION: Blueprint, Requires -----1 Pumpkin Thorax -----1 Pie Crust (Commod - Common) -----1 Pie Filling (Commod - Common) -----1 Hellfire Remain -----1,000 metals -----1,000,000 initial and periodic credits SUMMARY: Thorax weapons and drones wouldn't generally mix... I gave it good range so that when the projectiles get launched out (due to being a mobile drone) there isa good chance they'll be able to make it back to hit an enemy. A full deploy of these drones have the potential for very high DPS, but will likely always have trouble maintaining solid DPS even with the DM tracking bonus on the weapon. I think it should be a BP drone, but should also use commods only attainable during the Halloween season... Also, the very slight grem effect (and I mean it should be no more than a twitch) might help very slightly with those pesky pulse guns, while not having a huge effect in PvP or PvE... Code: NAME: UNICEF Box Drone DRONE TYPE: Stationary Drone, DM ONLY TECH: 19 QUOTE: "Save a penny, feed a shield." SIZE: 400 WEIGHT: ~420,000 LIFESPAN: 2 Minutes ELEC: 34,000 SHIELD: Ghoulstop (or similar, very high bank, no regen) RESISTS: 100% Transference, -400% Everything Else SPECIAL: Built in Aura(325 radius) --- +25% Shield Bank, +25 Shield Regen(amount), -40% Speed(EVERYTHING) WEAPON: Pennysaver Pennysaver Damage Type: Transference (Use the 'coins' as the graphic with very fast movment and very high tracking... Assuming its possible for a projectile bases transference weapon) Damage: -30 (-150 dps) Recoil: 0.2 seconds (DM20 would max out firing rate making it almost like a stream) Range: 50 AQUISITION: Difficult 1 time only mission... I can think up the actual mission if you think you might use it... SUMMARY: Basically, this drone would be very expencive to get, and a very powerful asset to and droner's arsenal. In combat it would be very difficult to use, and also would be easily killed due to the high weaknesses to all damage types... Its tech 19, so it uses a good number of drone slots and needs tech 20 gear glue to protect it. Ubers may well 1 shot the drone, so using it is at your own risk, and the exceptionally high elec cost means you might need to sacrifice alot of regen or use a different aug to be able to place it... |

Imagine 90-180 fire cannon bullets shooting something... Instead 0.001 fps... |

But the Fire Cannon idea owns.
I mean, cmon... Plus, if they do this, just make it so it doesnt shoot it with Particles. But little Mini Pumpkins, so like every bullet looks like a pumpkin. _________________ Back on the Block, so we can rock with the SR&B... |

A Pumpkin Thorax drone might work, I will make a test thorax drone and see how well they function, and if all goes well, you should see a special drone master Pumpkin Thorax drone on the Halloween Droplist.

Caelestis Sweet =D Remember... the range is necessary for the 'mobile' drones to counteract the fact that their projectile will be flying out during the 'warmup' period... |
