Ammo Crates + Resupply Limpets
- Thread starter DemiserofD
- Start date
Honestly, ammo capacity is already pretty useless for most weapons. Why take 100% more ammo when you can just take 70% more damage instead?
The exception is weapons where it's basically the only good option, like missile racks, but unless you want to be burning through ammo crates like mad(as in multiple times in a single fight; small missile racks with rapid-fire run out of ammo in 20 seconds) they'd still be good in those cases.
All in all, I think they would be fairly balanced, as you would need to give up something else in order to fit them. Whether that be a hull reinforcement, an SCB, or something else.
Oh sure... i guess i was more leaning towards the negative effects in this case... the drawback of corrosive shell is less ammo (per clip and overall)... if ammo modules were a fitting, this debuff becomes a bit of a moot point, and would probably need to have a different nerf applied.
Like small gimballed corrosive multicannon on a layzoors 'Vette.
Honestly, I think there's an issue balancing things because of PvP vs PvE.
If I put ammo stores in the 'Vette for PvE... too much.
PvP... Maybe, swapping stuff for ammo? PvP, Not my thing but, not seeing many complaints from people who are mega PvP.
Sorry, edited for clarity.
This. You could even go further and cancel reloads when you engage FSD and allow us to stock up on torpedoes
I'd really like it if it worked like limpets with the advanced maintenance tab. The question is how far would you go in ammo types? Do we separate every class and sizes? Do different tonnages refill the same amount? Like say a C1 multicannon ton of ammo could fill it to max, but a C4 ton would only fill it to 25%. Bigger weapons means bigger bullets, and bigger ships can easily carry bigger cargo racks.
I knew this ridiculous FPS capability would continue to devolve the game.
Tbh corrosive shell is so obscenely overpowered its 'downside' barely even counts as such.
It's a single experimental that can boost your entire damage output against armor by like 90% in the right circumstances, it's ridiculous.
If its penalty were changed to something else I'd be a-ok with that.
Ammo crates in cargo. That's funny.
Point defense is this tiny thing that can hold ten THOUSAND rounds of small caliber ammunition. Multi-cannons with big ammo drums can only carry a few thousand. What gives?
You answered your own question.
Oh it will be worse I'm sure...
We'll have drones from your ship that deliver ammo to you and your front line friends...
Or magic ammo clips that self regenerate... No doubt with a 2sec fire pause.
We'll have 'smart' bullet rounds that can fly around corners.
And personal shield harmonic boosters with 'mirror surface composite' enhancement.
Incendiary weapons that can incinerate a person instantly.
And 'forced rebound' that will knock someone 40 feet through the vapour thin 'air'.
I'm sure there will be plenty of silliness to come with Odyssey...
I'm in little doubt it will live up to its name.
No I didn't. Because it makes zero sense. You can stack PDT's to the sky and they hold 10k ammo each. Where exactly is all the ammo stored? It doesn't make any logical sense that that situation exists, but multi-cannon ammo and others are so horribly limited.
Also that's not even getting into how you can literally fire off an infinite number of Detail Surface Scanner probes. They seem kinda big. How does that work?
