Heh, petions seem to have some effect, so i have a proposial to make.

Fireworks:
Mine like weapons, very cheap, very very weak.
Launcher -- 100c
ammo -- 50c
carries 50 'works
Drops like mines
Make the normal mine explosion blueish with a shockwave like thing (think starwars deathstar boom)
Damage: 1

With these we could have pretty mine shows!

Heh heh.

Oh, the repeat rate should be .25 seconds or something. :P

They'd make great trader defenses too, since the shockwave would definitely throw off a pirate's aim. :P

with such little damage the push would be almost nil, but would be annoying

petitions have an effect?

/me points to his own successful "Small-Slot Gatling" petition and tells FM "Yes".

NOOOO!!!! Not another PETITION!!!!!

ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

*Paedric runs screaming from the Suggestions forum, never to return*

Why not just keep the idea about the firework stuff bumped in the forum for a couple of months or so? :P

Anyway, /me wants firework! :P

How's about different colours btw?
You could buy 'blue' firework, 'red' firework, 'yellow' firework..etc.

I'd like to point out that the petition for a 'small slot gatling' is more recent than the suggestion for a 'flechette cannon'.

yeah!

Now that would be interesting (multiple ammo) out of a game standpoint as well.. How would that be dealt with in the interface?

How 'bout this: the mines are free, have no damage, no time limit (unlike regular mines), but to avoid FPS mutilating, the mines disappear whenever the person warps out? I think that's a good idea.

yes I like this it will let me make free firework shows and cheap shows without going bankrupt
so where do i sign?



-Experiment 626 A.K.A Stitch (fireworks person)

lol 1 damage

Could be a nice test - just WHAT happens when 1845 mines go off in a sector, with 40 players watching?

/G

The server melts down and we have to buy the devs a new one. ;)

what would happen if i made like a string of 10000 of these fireworks and they blew up in a show?

Maybe there could be a limit on how many fireworks could be placed at one time?
Hmm?

hehe..
What if the mines spontaneously blow up (first out...) after a certain amount of mines have appeared in the sector??

I can just imagine the havoc.. ;)
