[Brainport] Overdrive weapon mods

[Dribble Joy]

Well, I was bored in Thermo-fluids today and while drawing, this idea just sort of popped into my head.

No idea if it has been sugested before but here goes.
(chirst how do I explain this...)

Basically these mods (Damage/frequency/handling/range) increase thier respective stat in the extreme and allow you to cap said stat without the required skill.
For example, you have a 120% freq CS with a free slot but you can't cap the rof, shove in a freq-overdrive mod (or whatever name fits) and it has the effect of added say... 30 HC worth into freq (and freq alone)
As a result the rate the weapon wears out is massively increased, to something like 1% every two clips (1% every clip for pistols)

A nice option for people, and could help some (shock-horror) put points into other things, like AGL/VEH/whatever, helps with the spectre of speciallisation.

I dunno, probably a crap idea.

PS. I won't be online this weekend, I'm being taught how to shoot an SA80.

PPS. Should I buy Worms3D? The temptation is overbearing.

Sounds a good idea, all 1% every two clips may be too much. Make it every 5 clips.


And on the Worms 3d, Download it first and try it to see if you like it.

All i want are weponmods equal to those damn superior psimods. o_O

But i like your idea too. :)

Edit:
Onoz! The next monk who reads this will start crying for different damage type mods! "I WANT MA HL DO PIOSEN TOO!!!11" :p :p

Well...I haven't voted as there's no... "Yes" option. o_O

But I really like that idea, although I have no idea how easy/hard it would be to code in. I'd love to see something like that though.

Maybe my PE could finally cap the RoF on his 'Easer.

Another idea for how this could work, either the way I described above, or the Mods could simply add 30% into a stat, but can go above 120%, up to 150%? simpler to code perhaps.

Dead animal sex can be the 'Yes' vote if you really actually (god knows why) think it's a good idea.

good idea but be better if when u put ya freq overdrive mod in nothing happerns till u hve fires of a few runds. the energy use in the gun firing puts it in oerdrive and ups its stat dramaticly for a short period
