Location damage

Apr 23, 2009 yudraciell link
As the title says implementing damage based on where you hit for instance. if you hit someone in the engine they would either lose manuverablity or lose stability
core: lose energy, lower energy restoration
guns: obviously cant fire them....or chances to fire blanks.
cockpit: aiming / other side effects

along with location damage i believe being able to target more specific parts of the ships

another thing i wouldn't mind seeing is maybe a shield generator for the large slot, makes flying bigger ships actually worth flying

Looks like we have another old Wing Commander player here.... Not bad suggestions, but I can think of a few dozen things I'd like the devs to work on first.

Heh I am kinda puzzled why a "space" craft would even have wings....

For cooleness, of course. VO would be boring if it was all just pods with engines and guns stuck to it (like a marauder)

"guns: obviously cant fire them....or chances to fire blanks.

Do you realize quite how easy you've made it for people to make fun of this proposition?

If someone gives you a well-aimed shot at your gun, you could lose the ability to fire or you might be firing blanks?

If someone gives you a well-aimed shot at your cock(pit), you won't be able to aim or 'other side effects.'

You're just waiting for peytros to come around here, aren't ye...

And no. I don't think that way. I just call 'em as I see 'em.

i think a lot of the older vo'ers have problems with their cock(pit) which is why they spend all time online and not in bed with their wifes. I still can't believe by 4300 or whatever the year is they haven't been able to solve the problem with shooting blanks

This has just been suggested about 400 times before. Use the search feature next time...
not to mention, read these threads:

Plus all the other "READ BEFORE POSTING" threads. Also, any "Request For Comment" threads by Incarnate are also worth a read before posting.

A few of the vets here are very jaded on the forums... and like to troll when people who don't read directions post.

We are supportive when you come up with original (and worthy) ideas though.
