In Firefall you could arcfold to a POI making tower defense really easy, but the transit dropships were not always in a position to make travel faster for you in those time sensitive events. In most cases trying to use the transit dropship would of result in the tower being lost, it would be...

I think it would be better to have a wide range of weapon types, but rather then moving up to a more specialized one in the class that is otherwise visually identical we should be able to mod it to be more specialized. In doing so altering the visual of the weapon. We can have a sniper rifle...

Caster (Fate/Extra, Fate/Extella, Fate/Grand Order) and Saber

If the bases are on platforms then that necessitates having dropships to go between them. Since we wont have a ground option. Also, it would not be available right from day 1, unless your day 1 is really far behind everyone else. Since the bases would not be built yet otherwise. It would be just...

I am almost of the opinion that one of the later options should include sarcastic, hostile, and split personality AIs for our suits. -pilot on low health- AI: Operator would you please- Split personality: STOP GETTING SHOT YOU DUMBASS -exploring alien ruins- AI: Hostile Bioforms detected...

The issue (I think) was that the AI server, and player connectivity, tanked during invasions. Leading to a higher amount of lag and the AI server breaking and requiring a restart when everyone online went to the invasion spot to defend. People loved the mechanic, the technical side to make the...

I would think that part of preparation for an excursion into the toxic atmosphere beyond the bubble would also involve putting on an environmental suit if you were going to have to leave your mech. The mech should still have a self contained atmosphere to "preserve time" for excursions outside...

The reason why there was risk of the NPCs forgetting to reload was that the AI server that controlled them would start breaking the more NPCs it had to spawn and control. This is part of why the player counts for a particular shard were hardcapped rather low compared to other MMOs. It used to...

Well that is good to hear. Oh it did. That is why I spent real money to get the helmet I liked and never took it off.

The lore friendly excuse in the case of players that would be the baseline energy shields the suits had (was really obvious given the effect that the players suit used whenever you exited combat on higher graphics settings) which when they failed that is also when you were downed. With large...

On the topic itself, we will have a habitation bubble. Its kinda a inverse melding. Instead of us fighting the "Chosen" to push the wall back we are the "Chosen" pushing the big energy wall forward and driving the locals into smaller and smaller pockets while we mercilessly kill them in order to...

So checking reality at the door is a perfect excuse for ignoring basic common sense? That visuals and gameplay should not go hand in hand? Sounds like a recipe for disaster honestly. Complete destruction of the suspension of disbelief. The omniframe does not fit a merc's needs, it does not fit...

Umm... in case you did not know (well last that I knew) Grummz wants player built bases which is what helps expand the bubble. Which means there will be large portions of land "wasted" on premade settlements that players invest into. Which that will necessitate a large map in the first place...

Did you ever do the quests in Firefall where you dressed up as a NPC bandit and used their weapons? Those bandits have clip sizes of ~9000 rounds on their rifles. They are just hard coded to force reload after firing a certain amount of rounds, even though they did not need to. This is because...

I fail to see how a NPC driven transit dropship flying from a central base to an outlying base kills exploration. In fact, it just means that people can head to the frontier a bit quicker and more direct. It also allows for the map to be bigger, a lot bigger. Honestly I would say it aids...

Wait for the next indiegogo fundraiser to get announced by Grummz. He plans to do multiple small milestone fundraisers. I believe the next planned fundraising goal is to get the THMPR into Unreal 4 and given basic animation.

Well, if the transit dropships were anything like the ones in Firefall's Coral Forest at any time you could just jump out of the dropship and glide down to a dynamic event. The transit dropship would simply give you a means of ignoring it without getting shot at on your way to another...

The reason why they are all closed is because its required for a intentional frontline combat vehicle. You have to protect the most important component of any combat vehicle: the people driving it. You can replace a vehicle, you can replace the weapons, but you cannot replace a skilled pilot who...

Then the entire thing depends completely on there being an existing power structure at a planet that is not even being colonized yet. It still has to go through terraforming first before proper colonization comes in. So we wont have access to a dyson sphere. Further, with how many omniframes...

You expect the omniframe, which already has to divert power to: A energy shield which is the only defense you have against the both environment and hostiles attacking you. A integrity field that is core to the frame keeping itself together and from crushing the pilot due to its lack of central...
