@Zekai

Well, not unless you are talking from your ghost half. Then, it MIGHT just be considered dead... kind of... maybe?

Hey, Youmu's physiology/anatomy is confusing, so don't blame me. :p


@Kristia

Check my last post.

Also, how did the date go? Everything go well? :)

Just gonna silently bump this.

I also took a look at it. It looks good so far. I guess I should probably add to it to make my weapons buildable. Most of them are circumstantial weapons, but the "Radiation shotgun" can be made with the parts system.

Ok, im now fully back (checked everything in home first)

I love the surgical weapon, but instead of only reloading/recharging it, why not adding overheatibg, since it is raw energy, it would tend to heath

I don't know about the radiation shotgun since you are dealing with nuclear energy, that can agfect the user's health

The date went nice, enjoyed the chilly weather with cofee while walking on the park and sightseeing the city lights

Seeing you talk about having a date reminds me that I'm single and lonely alot.

Sounds nice. :)

Anyways, as for the "Radiation Shotgun", it only becomes radioactive when fired, and the radiation only affects everything in front of the user like a normal shotgun. The radiation quickly dissapates, but not before causing a lot of damage. The nuclear reaction occurs when the trigger is pulled, and thanks to t he dense metals of the gun, the radiation does not leak out of the gun and harm the user. If course, it probably wouldn't harm the user anyway, due to them wearing RIG suits, or at least the Engineering-class suits would protect against radiation.


As for the laser, it should be fine for however long you hold it. After all, you will run out of ammo long before it has a chance of overheating. I would say that a continuous 8 second stream would burn through the entire "clip", forcing you to reload. It's kind of like a Flamethrower in that regard. You can increase its capacity for extra ammo, but firing the weapon for so long is bad for your ammo consumption. I would say that it's a higher tier than the Flamethrower in terms of damage, but nowhere near as powerful as the Contact Beam. It's like the sniper version of the Flamethrower. Hmm... Maybe it will use gas as its ammo, kind of like the gas-based lasers of today. In the end, it doesn't need overheating as a balance, it's ammo consumption is its balancing factor, much like the Flamethrower.

Also, how should we treat inventories? How will we keep track of them?

that is a good question

I suggest taking what each person can take to be reasonable with what they could carry

I was thinking more of having a weight system, like how every inventory should be :^)

exactly Wriggle

@Kristia and Wriggle

I was simply thinking of ripping Dead Space's inventory system. We would each have a maximum of 25 slots for ammo, health, and supllies, then we could either follow DS 1&2's 4 weapon slots, or DS3's 2 hybrid weapons. Not unless we allow a person to carry either 4 DS1&2 style weapons, 2 DS3 style weapons, or 1 DS3 style weapon and 2 DS1&2 style weapons.

Back to the slots, I think you first start out with 5 or 10 slots, right? I think it might be 10...

What do you guys think about the DS game inventory system?
