Modern neuroscience has come a long way. Data himself occasionally posts on the dev log about modern scientific breakthroughs that seem to be moving towards a possibly similar future. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some degree of remote brain operation within our lifetimes. Perhaps it wouldn't be a disembodied brain in a jar, but it's only really a matter of time. And I think we can assume that CC takes place far enough into the future to where enough time has passed. In the face of all that, the rest of the things seem pretty reasonable as well. So saying "CC is basically unrealistic why do you care in your mod" is a completely empty argument.
And really, what realism in my mod is stifling your fun, anyway? ZOMG HIS RIFLE IS DESCRIBED AS FIRING 5.56MM BULLETS THIS ISN'T FUN ANYMORE. Seriously, shut up. And if you don't like it, just leave, because it isn't changing. i'm sorry, but realism is dull and boring, we play video games to escape. it's never about the realism, the realism is a facade, it's always about the fun factor. do whatever you want, i really don't care cause i can mod your mod

Plus the fact that if we did it in IRL we would die or be imprisoned. Realism in a mod doesn't change the fact that you can still blow the brains... meat out of their heads.

You could even just land it on the ground that way, but it'd still be a dropship, not a rocket.

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 5/31/09
the flamer flames look un-flamey. also, with the wormhole dropship, maybe make it more compact, almost higo sized, and more platey. i still much prefer it to its predecessor. loving the fact that it has gibs

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 5/31/09
no, i arent. feels more like disintergrating molten dust bunnies than jet fuel. the AMSR feels a lot better, but you might want to tweak it a little more the shakerange is waaaay too high. i shot myself in the face while jumping over another clone. make other means of screwing up your aim whilst moving, like make the aiming reticle jump about when
- the user is moving (this one is a sort of subtle sliding around of the reticle, rather than a jump)
- the user fires the weapon (if the user is moving, the amount of "recoil" should be rather large, especially if in the air)
it would be a much better take on unreliability when moving than the bullet coming out at almost literally 180degrees to the barrel. the particles could also stand to come out at a lower speed on impact, because sometimes they phase into terrain.[list] i love the huge kick of mass based particles though, really makes a hit feel like it hurt.

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 5/31/09
I think the flamethrower looks fine. Fire has always been a hard thing to emulate on a computer. Plus, the low particle count helps those with less than stellar computers. Anyways, for reference (liquid): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgYpRpiZmf0Different kind of flamethrower (gas): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dmE-emr ... re=related

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 5/31/09
I wish dropships had legs so that you actually could land them on the ground, at which point their engines would turn off until you pressed up again. You can't give them legs but if you just add some non-moving landing gear attachments to the body you can probably get someone to lua it to stop the engines when you are on the ground (or if that fails, when you press a button)

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 5/31/09
I think I remember someone saying there's a "CanLand = 1" variable for dropships, but it sounds kinda odd. Edit: Found it: Geti wrote: there is a drop-ship variable "CanLand = 0/1" which allows them to touch down. if you made it so the legs were just parts of the main sprite, they would still interact with the terrain, but not bend like normal legs.. if you want legs you need to use an ACRocket, but you cant have doors. i think the drop-ship will work better in this case..
