More Dynamic Power Armour

[enigma_b17]

Ok was just running around on my tank and came across 3 other tanks in pa aswell woohoo. All the same just looked a bit borin so id like to see Combat Damage Introduced to PowerArmour. Esentially the model would change slightly to reflect the current % Condition of the power armour. There could be 4 or 5 stages such as detailed below :)

1- Minor Damage: Scratches and burn marks, Condition 100%-80%
2- Medium Damage: Dents and Weld Marks (as if had been repaired), Conditoin 79%-60%
3- Heavy Damage: Cracks and exposed Power Armour wiring, Condition 59%-40%
4- Extreme Damge: Parts of the power armour missing, such as a hand pa model missing, showing the runners normal model hand, Condition 39%-0%

Just thought it would be nice to add a little more dynamics to power armour, not just tank pa btw, all pas :)

could a mod please attack a poll with 3 options
1- Sounds good!
2- o dear god no
3- If modified....
thanks :)

what about 120% condition? would it be all shiny and polished? :lol:
i'd vote for that :p I wanna be shiny :)

Now that's just a great idea, but it would involve some progrmming and i don't think they have time for that now.

[Vampire_Reaver]

nah they are prolly busy enuff as it is, but it sure would be nice to have, as a future feature maybe :)

5 stars, i like it.

and just because doy beta is on does not mean that they should dump the rest of nc.

Very nice idea! 5 stars


4- Extreme Damge: Parts of the power armour missing, such as a hand pa model missing, showing the runners normal model hand, Condition 39%-0%

Or the tank face visible? would look funny atleast :D

Yea, like the tank/spy or whatever would have part of the head piece model taken away, eg on the tank take away part of the visor and a bit of the forhead of the helmet :)

Anything that improves on neocron's dynamic can only be good.

5 stars.

You should be able to have your PA on and opt what parts you show, I wanna be able to use my PA with my head visible.

Cool Idea. I like a lot.

Sounds awesome.

As the other said; great idea.
There should also be a model (shiny and polished) for armors in mint condition (over 110% perhaps?) as Vampire_Reaver sugested, for when the big bad tank is invited to a party and would like to dress up.

kewl idea, to enhance on it, armour has two stats, at 120/120 it shines, at 60/120 it looks really battered, and at 1/120 it looks like its falling apart, then as the 2nd stat declines, it starts to get a bit rusty, so at 120/120 it looks good, but its rusty as heck, and at 0/0 it looks like the titanic :D

[Darken]

Sounds Brilliant ^^ but i bet this isnt possible (changing just single parts of the Model) with neocron engine ;)

[Lexxuk]

I dont think they would need to change individual parts, they could have 6 different graphics for dmg levels, and different colouration for rust

Cool idea! *****
