In my, and my friends, case the visuals are important for the gameplay as well because of the omniframe. The omniframe, with its current design, is a big deal breaker because of the exposed pilot. In fact, just looking at the omniframe my friend said "Maybe those Mark Kern detractors were...

would be best to have enclosed omniframes to give the pilots a self contained atmosphere for that. Only way to do it so that the energy shield going down wont kill your pilot from the atmosphere alone.

I was talking with my friend at the time and I brought up the Supreme Commander Aeon Illuminate Experimental Resource Generator Paragon. How it could produce infinite energy and mass to fuel all base operations (and if it was modeled correctly and not restricted by gameplay its explosion on...

No, the reason I never really used the weapons was precisely because of the grenade effect. In enclosed areas you spent as much time blowing yourself up as you did the enemy. It was also a horrid waste of ammo that preyed on any habits built up from using other manufacturer's weapons, which...

Well in Chinese the meaning of the name of Tsihu is "Cry Nothing". Which if that was intentional could be taken as a stab at The9. Basically making them the main enemy of ember.

In Borderlands 2/Pre-Sequel there is a company that makes guns you cannot reload. Instead you throw the gun and it self destructs like a grenade (more damage the more ammo was left in the mag) and a entirely new gun was digistructed into your hand to be used. The design behind that company was...

Nah, there should be transport to just ferry players to another base directly and quickly. Not everything needs to be a mission. Especially since we do an escort mission every single time we thump anyways. Any combat based escort mission should be something that a player initiates. If they just...

I would prefer NPC transit dropships as the "fast" travel option between bases. Me and my friends used them a lot to go around Coral Forest without spending credits on the fast travel teleport.

Well thanks for the clarity grummz.

Don't forget magazine explosions. In Mechwarrior the CASE system was created to prevent such occurrences from instantly obliterating a mech. The CASE system is designed to contain and redirect the explosive force of the munitions outside and away from the mech. Sure the explosion will still...

Well in the omniframe revealed thread there were people talking about how the omniframe design does not work with what sniper players want as far as visuals go. Too big, too bulky, too exposed. I personally cannot see how to make a engineer style gameplay work with the omniframe, its too much...

@Maven @Squid Boss I want to say I was not expecting this idea to be a right now kind of thing. Right off the bat I knew we were going to have 1 frame to work with to save money. I was in the Discord at the time Grummz said that. Later on if we got more funding was there the possibility of...

The foreground character is not flying, they are walking on solid terrain. You can tell because of the hip movement (note no thrusters of any kind on the legs or feet), complete lack of visual effect for any kind of hovering, the fact that the only things that could supply lift are completely...

Maybe I should not have put the spoiler in... Basically I do not like the visual design of the omniframe. I honestly would not be surprised if "put more armor" equates to "change a numeric value, still have to deal with the pilot being exposed". "Strip armor for more speed" equates to "change a...

In the poster its size is also compared to a human not in an omniframe, so about double the size of the person. Then throw in perspective into account (looking up at the THMPR from the ground behind the person).

So we all know about the omniframe, the half mecha half exoskeleton power armor that mark has shown off. Basically what other types of frames/suits would you like to see besides the omniframe? I personally would like to see base 2 alternatives to the omniframe: A full on mecha designed...

Back when I was expecting something along the size of Firefall Battleframes I would be all for player mounted turret hardpoints. However, unless the thing was so massive it makes the Brontodon King look small there is no way that you can have turret systems that are omniframe manned turret...

Then why does our omniframe have fists? Clearly its designed to use handheld weapons since there are no clear mounting locations on the body for weapons. Also technically any weapon can be classified a weapon system because the definition is "A combination of one or more weapons with all...

Last time I saw it talked about in the Discord chat the consensus was 2 weapons with a primary and alt fire. Of course, that was when we thought we were gonna get something like Firefall frames. Though since we are not going full mecha I do not expect us to be able to make MMM systems.
