I recall asking the same question months ago.

if it's a napalm thrower wouldn't the oxygen in the atmosphere let in by the hole cause it to ignite rapidly and release intense amounts of energy (ie: explode)?

You need to reduce the rate of fire on the rocket turrets. The AI wastes a lot of ammo because it won't stop shooting. Also, is there a way to limit it's turning, so it doesn't blow its self up?

The sprites for the railgun and rocket launcher look a tad bit flat, the railgun especially. And the smaller minigun isn't really needed anymore.

Other than that everything is great, I love the new shock mortar.

Make a real sniper.

the kitsune could be fox-helmeted tengus armed with smoke and hologram crap. thats not that ambitious, and id buy DL it.
ahahah agreed. it doesnt have to be a terrain raping lightsabre launcher, but the DMG doesnt quite cut it on some occasions. i suppose it is sneaky enough but still, it doesnt have the unexpected headshot followed by a WTH from the player and a lot of ! from the AI, you know?..

Meh. Then I might as well just hand stuff to the regular infantry units. No, it'd be some kind of four-legged robot probably. Unfortunately, an ACrab only allows a single weapon. This makes things difficult.

As for a sniper, I've been thinking heavily on the issue recently. I plan to release a nice anti-armor sniper rifle with the next release. I think I'll try to figure out how to do something to this effect:

Should be equally devastating against both armor and flesh.

What about the recall device I suggested? Would there be any application for that in this mod?

Alright guys, so I actually want to make a full-blown jetpack for the Shogun armor. But... I have no idea what it should look like! It needs to look fairly powerful, but also be designed in such a manner that an ammo pack for the various heavy weapons can also be placed squarely on its back. This probably means that the parts that actually shoot out the air or fire or whatever need to be sticking out away from the body. I've messed with some variations, but haven't really come up with anything great looking.

Anybody have any ideas? Maybe something they saw somewhere?

Just for conversation: the chaff grenade will be five kinds of awesome, I can guarantee it . Just imagine a cloud of small, harmless, but constantly gibbing mosrotatings and/or actors. Any actor in or near it will just freak out, and potentially start firing everywhere. The great thing is that it'd work even in PvP, as it'll freak out any actor the player isn't currently using. I can't wait to make it. It'll finally launch my mod in the direction I've always wanted it to go: stealthy and tricky.

Also, I need to figure out how to make actual silent weapons. Firing MOPixels tends to attract attention. Firing MOSRotatings does not, but that doesn't really make for great regular bullets. Not sure about MOSParticles...

Edit: actually, now that I test it, actors seem to notice when you fire anything nearby. pity...

what about orientstovel tdexplosives? just make them "explode" a mopixel when they gib. it just makes them kinda useless against craft.. ><

make the jet not that huge, and placed at the base of the back, with a small tank near the neck and pipes joining them. whatever badly worded. i might make fox troopers anyway

For the boosters to look decent you should probably just make a "universal ammo cannister" as part of the jetpack sprite and make the weapons that are automatically added to the Shogun separate from those that can be bought, and missing the fuel/ammo can on the back. I mean, it is a modular power armor system, so it'd only make sense that one weapon would get built into the armor upon purchase. Make the boosters themselves look like small hatches opening in the armor and nozzles popping out, kinda like you did for the Shinobi clone wing-pack.

Another fun idea: hologram grenade! I used to have decoy grenades for my old Desert Punk mod which would spawn very easily killable "balloon decoys" like in the actual show and they drove even the old AI crazy.

Great. You pretty much said everything I was already going to do, in a way. Every shogun with a different heavy weapon will have a different ammo pack to go with it, not a universal pack. They'll all be about the same size though.

My problem is just how the jetpack itself will look design wise. I suppose I could just expand off of the Shinobi design, but I feel like I need to expand a bit more than that.

If you've ever seen the Vernier thrusters on Gundams, maybe something like that? Doesn't have to be a huge wing-like shape but sort of elongated thruster attached to the back?

I think the reload on the shotgun is a little too long. Then again, maybe I just reload too much.

Wow. I come back, after a long time, and the first thing I see is this topic. And 68 ♥♥♥♥ PAGES.
I look at the content to see what's new and I'm like "wow, insta dl."

I have to say, bravo. Bravo for taking this mod so far.

low profile. they arent going to be zooming around too much are they? also allows room for a pack and doesnt singe the tengu's arms
