The topic isn't about bombing, its about suicide bombing, and the suicide vest. The difference is not subtle so stop derailing it.
It's a matter of balance, enough of the contrived logic. "people gotta protect themselves" .. oh please.
Think about this from an antagonist perspective. If you're an antagonist and some of the crew are literally explosive, then you're not going to be an antagonist for very long. There is very little counters you can do as an antagonist if people are going to be exploding any time you capture them and they suicide.
I'm absolutely delighted that fell flat on it's face for you, because that is fucking awful. Suicide bombing is literally "hey you're an antagonist, i'm not so I have nothing to lose, lets both be miserable"
You could've ran up to him with a pipebomb in your hand and it would've achieved the same shitty effect.
There's quite a difference, in that if you are stunned you cannot carry out your actions.
THAT SAID.. suicide vests go they could be done with some buffing.
One of the main things is that it should arm when put on you, and while you can take it off, anybody else who tries to strip it from you will cause it to explode. This will prevent scenarios where you're all "give me money or i explode" and you get tazed and harmlessly stripped.
The suicide bomb vest could also do with remote signalers being attached to it, just incase you want to rig an area with TTV's and go all out.
And yes, it should be able to accept the same containers as any beaker bomb.
But the fact it's not working with the suicide command is perfectly intentional

Quote:Pretty straight forward, I had an idea of finding a instantly killing suicide method (I used cuffs) combined with a suicide vest with pipe bomb to kill a wizard.

Quote:Yeah, I think it's perfectly reasonable for a suicide vest to work for suicides. Not much different than finding a russian revolver or eating a half-dozen lasers.
