    Projectile types

    *Craftable/Consumable Directed-energy weapon (DEW) and nuclear missiles shot from orbit. Expensive solution to a dicey situation. *any weapon from unreal tournament. *I will always have a soft spot for instagib + hook

    Repeating Mining Location Gradually Increases Difficulty

    Maybe like the pollution mechanic in Factorio? In Factorio each factory produces pollution and when the pollution spreads to the biter nests they become hostile and start attacking the factory. Over long exposure they start to mutate and become much stronger. Could we have something similar in...

    Concearned about monetization

    How about the following convenience item: "No more escort missions" 3.99$/month.

    Concearned about monetization

    Well, yes, resource boosts in some shape or form could be introduced but would that make the game itself fun? My take on it (and a few other people too) is that it perverse the game experience. I can't quite clearly explain it but, would it still be a fun game if you pay for a shortcut? If you...

    Concearned about monetization

    What I propose is just a +10% movement speed bonus that lasts for 5 sec, like the FireFall trailblazer. Instead of glider pads like in FireFall, we just have trailblazer pads in cities that subscribers can use. Whenever a subscriber walks over them, a trailblazer is deployed and is available for...

    Concearned about monetization

    Clearly if players end up being crumb-catcher and bought friends then that is wrong and not what I advocate for. The point is that the a-la-carte subscription options are themselves "cool" but do not disturb the player experience. It should not change the difficulty curve of the game or reduce...

    Concearned about monetization

    Firefall beta player. Let me pitch in. I see people are concerned with big purchases called micro transactions. What I propose is smaller nano-transaction. The game would provide an A-la-carte subscription model. * Access to a members-only bar inside each city. Non-members are stuck behind an...

    Ember name already taken on steam

    Hmmm, Zooming into her ass doesn't reveal any protection gear. Could the devs make a bigger poster with a more hi-rez closeup of her ass and crack for >_> <_< >_> ... research .....

    Ember name already taken on steam

    My opinion: Putting numbers into names as a substitute to a letter is acceptable as a nickname but retarded and cancerous in official names an titles. If Ember is taken then rename it completely and get rid of the EM-8ER. It reeks of the B=>8 substitute from miles away. If the majority of the...

    Avoid Over-Balancing

    Muzzel velocity and drag parameters? Source. Drag: F = 0.5* Density of air * (bullet speed Speed)^2 * Projectile drag coefficient * projectile cross section. Damage would be proportional to F.

    Damage Numbers/Combat Text

    for high RoF you could accumulate all the damage instead of showing 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 .... You get 50 100 150 200 250 ... or 1x50 2x50 3x50 4x50 5x50 ... Split enemy HP bar into 3 section Red for health left, yellow for damage dealt to that enemy and transparent...

    Will we able to pick our MOM?

    How about recording the most neutral sounding voice. Then we implement filters/switches that filter out phrases unbeloning to the category. happy <-> sad empathy <-> apathy calm <-> energetic Lets say we chose happy apathy and calm. All the sad or emphatic or energetic dialogue lines are...

    Keeping the science in sci-fi

    Or you know. Use enemies weapons against them. Use weapons that use the same munition as the enemy and simply kill and loot the enemy.

    How many weapons can we have at once?

    Yes But: * you can use an external weapon as a melee weapon once you run out of ammo. * having a weapon inside your arm compromises the structural integrity of the arm. If you shield a blow with your arm then the gun inside of it is damaged. * firepower. the biggest of guns simply won't fit...
