FPS Combat in Elite will be like this

[Rat Catcher]

I can hardly wait to get my G5 Resistive with Fast charge Remlock and twin G5 Super Pen Short Range Handguns...
Actually, with around the same enthusiasm as I have knowing the Grim Reaper calling on me is no longer as far away as it was 60 years ago...

Don't forget to grind those space-suit engineers first.

You mean people being bullet sponges? Considering my experiences in CZs, I can see that being true.

Only if you purchase the military sponge armor jacket and underwear, or the prismatic bi-weave suit and tie

And then after trading 6 flannel to 1 cotton at the mat trader, you can engineer your underwear, maybe even slap a thermal vent on them.

I actually want walking on planets to look like the roller coaster tycoon games, just for fun. on the ships, 1st person view to make it simple.

And the ability to drop a heatsink if necessary, I can see a trail of heatsinks on the floor behind me as I run away!

Hope not, if humans can absorb that much ammo then it would probably take one hour of constant shooting to down one Thargoid.

Once we'll get G5 deep folded elephant butt leather vest and G5 fast charge unicorn rainbow personal shield with assorted boosters I can see that becoming the norm XD

And please, please FDev, add a salt amo experimental mod for shotguns. Otherwise combat will prove very stale...

On the plus side, maybe we'll get some fun out of those leatherly eggs ^^

No need for people, it'll all be engineerable telepresence drones.

 

[Enderby]

I hope any fun of ‘legs isnt based on ‘doing up’ yer lil suit like the ‘game’ is currently based on doing yer ship up rather than using it

I don't understand why most games always need to throw countless hordes of enemies at you.

Because as long as some equate "more = better", the mentality will be "more = challenging", too.

It simply saves them the work of being creative enough to come up with something actually challenging- and instead can relegate everything to mindless generic number spamming instead.

Then, we also have the "bigger = better" thing where someone thinks sheer size is intimidating... but when it takes a bullet it just goes down with more thunk.

Alternatively, just fill someone with so much lead they pass their encumbrance limit and can no longer move.

While I want elite feet in ED, I certainly do not want a FPS in ED.

Don't worry. While players will be able to use guns and hurt each other FPS PvP will be rare and meaningful.

It's the easiest way to make a game "more challenging". For the same reason the most use method to make games harder are absurd high "health pools" and multiple shields for boss fights - or special "boss fight mechanics" with predefined sequences of random actions that need to be done at the right time.

Creating NPCs that are difficult because of the way they act and move is apparently too difficult for most (if not all) developers. That's why many players prefer PvP for a real challenge.

Careful with the "Thermal Vent", that could have undesired consequences in tight situations

When space legs come to ED the only thing I ask is please NO 3rd person mode. Why you might ask?. Well just watch this video and you will understand.

Sorry for Spoiler

The link took me to a 3rd Person shooter? Wrong link or Wrong Title?
