I think that drill would be possible, if not just a proof of concept. Air-drop a crab who's turret spawns some kind of digger that goes straight down, digging a hole for approximately 15-20 seconds then becoming useless afterwards.

Maybe an actor with two legs to the sides holding it up over the dig site, and its aim being restricted downward with the tool only spawnable with the actor. It throws down the drill and the drill "bullet" or dropship or something goes downwards constantly emitting high life-time pinned (whatever makes the sprite stay in place) which makes it look like it's attached to the original actor by a wire.

I love this idea Krumbs, and I'd really want to start pursuing something like it.

I picture a special dropship putting it down as I can really imagine a normal dropship dropping that beast.

I also picture there being a dotted line going down to tell you where it's going to drill, because it's only going to drill once, but you get a heck of a lot of money for it. You'll need to defend it well and maybe it could mine oil too or something.

I'll put up a mockup later.

It's such a cool idea, I would be glad to help in any way I can man.

Well, i have way too much art to show you, here's just some of my art.

Those look really nice. I'm just curious, do you do small sprites? I do some photoshop, but I suck at small sprites.

Well, i'm fairly new to CC and I just found out what a sprite even is.

so no, pretty much :p

If I would know the basics of spriting I might be able to try.

O_O
That drill is an EPIC idea!

It'd just be a bunker module rocket, and when you open the doors it starts up, and lowers the drill very slowly.

I love you Krumbs...

Her is the mockup I spoke of. I imagine you place it by having over your mouse the opaque drill with red dots running down then disappearing, down then disappearing. And when you selected a spot, the dropship flew down with the drill which then starts digging.

Giant wall of userbars

not very giant but k







i do userbar requests, i'd happily do it because some peoples userbars just look...bad

here's buttons






i really like bright/glowing things :p you are welcome to make requests

i have moar, will post later

Ah crap, there go all my comments

Very nice Chac.

Looks very nice. Not sure if it would actually work but it looks very authentic

Might be easier with Lua coding, I can't wait a year for it though. This seems like such a cool idea.

thanks krumbs, guess you replies weren't lost
anyway, here's the others (mainly big images, i'm very proud of these :p tell what you think)
