Ablative Armor - Klayboxx - 12-24-2013 This is kinda a thing in the /tg/ build, but I think that with the new changes to stun weaponry, ablative armor would be totally rad. It is armor that either holds charge by itself, or has a battery that can be un-clipped from it. If the armor holds a charge itself, it should have 100 power. Otherwise, it has as much power as the battery you clip on. So say you get hit by a taser once with the ablative armor on, you would loose 50 power and experience no ill effects (a shot from length) or supremely lessened effects (a shot point blank or very close). If you got shot again, you'd loose another 50 power and your armor will then turn off, although it just saved you from two taser shots. Laser weaponry would react similarly. I don't know if there is damage fall off on lasers, but if there is or isn't the armor would work basically the same way, it'd loose 50 power and lessen the burn damage you receive. I think that nuke ops should definitely get some of these in their lockers, and maybe?? some in the armory on the station, and maybe?? a cheap traitor item. The only reason I recommend 100 power is that the standard taser only has four shots in it and if you go at a dude in a fully charged ablative armor you aren't going to be able to stun them all the way even if you land all four shots. Also, with regards to bullet weaponry, this thing should be moderately useless. It should help a small amount but not as much as a regular armor vest.

Meth does the same thing and doesn't take up an armor slot. Give syndicate a meth bottle at round start. Station will never win nuke again. Re: Ablative Armor - david2222121 - 12-24-2013 They have something even better than meth in the shuttle now. Syndi-donks. When I saw this thread, I was ready to jump in and talk about how ablative armor totally wouldnt work for tasers because it's basically C-4 that you use to stop RPG rounds on tanks. Only I found out that Ablative armor is basically the sci fi version of that which protects against lasers and whatnot. I still have no idea how the fuck that's supposed to work. Considering the new taser revamp Cogs did a while ago, I'm not sure this is really necessary. You need to get hit by like, three taser shots to actually get stunned now, compared to Zap-Game over. Re: Ablative Armor - Captain_Bravo - 12-24-2013 Christ, I know people just toss threads out there without searching, but It has the same name, is the same thing, and even has people making the same goddamned pedantic point that ablative armor doesn't actually work that way. It's all just a little bit of history repeating. Re: Ablative Armor - Captain_Bravo - 12-24-2013 Best thing that I just noticed: Klayboxx has already posted in that thread twice.

Nopers, his idea is that regular armor should be ablative. In that thread I got confused and thought you were talking about the sci-fi version (this idea) of it and posted that in the thread. Two totally different ideas my smug friend.

Klayboxx Wrote:On the /tg/ build the ablative armor protects against stunning weaponry, so you have a chance to take a shot from a taser without being stunned. I didn't actually know the ~real~ definition so sorry I guess. One post is from today. One post is from six months ago. Spot the difference! Re: Ablative Armor - Captain_Bravo - 12-24-2013 And yes, before you post, I DO realize that the point of that thread was something different. But I'm saying you brought the exact same idea up six months ago and it went nowhere. Why make a new post now, especially when there's been a movement lately to give people more stun resistance and give officers less stuns? Re: Ablative Armor - Captain_Bravo - 12-24-2013 And, for the coveted T-T-T-TRIPLE POST, I've seen (quite a few times) suggestions of faraday cages, which would basically be this in reverse. atomic1fire Wrote:Faraday Suit. If you'll notice, Cog's response to this post? Adding more ways for the crew to acquire chemical stun resistance.

Re: Ablative Armor - Captain_Bravo - 12-24-2013 It's not just you, I point out every instance of when someone just posts an idea that's been reposted a billion times before. I said it's the opposite because I just posted the most recent suggestion of a Faraday suit. To drive home the point that this idea has been suggested A BILLION TIMES, I was referring to the most common suggestion for faraday suits, which is to attach an empty battery to it and have shocks fill the battery: MyBlueCorners Wrote:I like all of these.The spy-cam is really good and I'm surprised these aren't in the game yet. The transciever + goggles seems like it will make a fun combination. Re: Ablative Armor - Conor12 - 12-26-2013 Deleting some posts and locking because it went from a disagreement to dumb insult-throwing. Make a fresh thread if you want. |
