He's the end boss in Fallout 2 but does fall into the same category.

No Go Ideas

5. No real-life people in this mod, or people from movies or similar.


It should apply to Major Nuker then :D

Well, Major Nuker is an alias, not a real-life person.

Well, that makes it easy.

A laserbeam that shoots lasertanks to the enemy.

Or a catapult that throws laserbeams at the enemy.

what about for fei, a massive vehicle that attacks using drone logic? aka, it sends infantry to do its dirty work

Niet, Beng did a similar thing for Rangers to have attack dogs acting as drones, and every time their master ranger was killed, the dogs were "deactivated" (like the falling drones, except those ones don't fall so they don't die and stay there until they're shot)

this could be fixed by giving the "drones" a special deathOCL for when deactivated (guessing it is a different Deathtype), which would spawn a normal one (if one drone does not have too much health, this will not even be noticed)

I've seen a particle cannon tank multiple times before, so I think I'll have to pass. However, a Cold Fusion Tank would sound promising.


Maybe a Gattling particle cannon tank, i have not seen that before. With cold fusoin rods sticking out the sides :P

A gattling particle tank is still basically the same thing, it just has more barrels. Jordan might just take the Cold Fusion tank a different way than you think though, so this could get interesting.

You have a point their. I wonder what Jordan could get out of the name cold fusion. *shivers in antacipation*

A massive armoured vehicle with tons of weapons, but has 2 wheels

and i pulled by 20 minigunners who cannot attack and is piloted by a little guy on top with a whip

At this rate, why not just make it a bit more "insane",and have it styled on an old west Stage Coach?

HHKelevra's Photo HHKelevra 23 Aug 2009

I think he had more of a rickshaw in mind. Seeing as how it's Chinese.
Quote

Sgt. Nuker's Photo Sgt. Nuker 23 Aug 2009

Missed the two wheel business, but if you look hard enough in the old west, you'll find there is a connection between the old west suggestion, and the Chinese (however slight). :P

HHKelevra's Photo HHKelevra 23 Aug 2009

Yeah, I had noticed the similarity as well.

That being said, I do think that it would fit the title of 'crazy' for the Chinese to be using old American equipment.



But onto my own idea:

The "Porcupine" tank.
(-possibly for Overrated General)

Basically, it's a tank covered with so many cannon/machine gun barrels pointing in every direction, that you can't even see the actual tank (apart from maybe the treads) underneath it all.

It moves ridiculously slowly as the driver cannot see through all of the equipment. It's fire would be rapid, powerful, but extremely inaccurate, even against stationary targets. (If possible, it would move in an erratic path whenever tasked somewhere)

As a secondary ability, it becomes stationary, and begins launching shells in every direction, damaging everything (friendly or otherwise) within its radius.

Maybe it could be a Hedgehog tank, covered in missiles sticking out everywhere, and it could roll up into a ball for quick escapes, but can't shoot when rolled up.

Both would actually be nice, but I guess whatever's easier on your workload.

Give it a "sonic boom" special attack so that it can move quickly for a short burst (3 or so seconds) a la "Sonic the Hedgehog".

The idea of a Sonic tank is way past cool Jordan :P

My bad, by reading that, associated to Sonic the Hedgehog, I thought you were were talking about Mighty the Armadillo (one of the hundred of secondary characters :P)
