-DoY opened
-Outzone Jail Opened
-Added Epics for Crahn, Twighlight Guardian, Fallen Angels etc.
-Added 'Carn's Island' (heh, bit ambitious there ;))

-Added 2 new Outposts in k_15 and f_02
-Made Regants Legacy into 2 sector mini-city for Regants Faction.
-Added Glass in MC5, to the roof

Total redesign of Research
- It is now possible for research to design entirely new weapons.
- all parts for items have been given real names (instead of just a part number)
- all item parts have a meaning. For example, some itemparts will increase damage and decrease accuracy. Some will decrease range and increase frequency. Etc. and so forth. Quality of itempart will determine the degree of the modifiers.
- the higher the quality of the projected finished design, the higher the research skill it would require to make the blueprint successfully

Total redsign of Mod process for constructors
- A constructor can now modify an item by "opening it" and installing additional parts as well as replacing existing parts with better ones.
- Slotted items will allow constructors to add parts still, but the available mods are instead now the same as the available itemparts. Thus, most modifications will lower an aspect of an item while raising another.
- Unslotted items can still be modified by replacing existing parts with other parts.
- The quality of the parts involved as well as the tech level of the item determine the difficulty of the modification being done and the skill required to accomplish it.
- Partial success could result in a successful installation of the modification at a slightly reduced power.

Drone changes
- Drones can now store a certain amount of items limited by weight
- Drone can now be slotted and modified
- Destroyed drones are not blown up but instead are reduced to 0% condition (not necessarily 0/0 though). This includes Kami drones.
- Drones can be designed from scratch using the new methods described in the research changes
- Possible modifications to drones include Damage method (pulse laser, plasma, rayguncannon, etc.), range, frequency, speed, roaming range, accelleration/decelleration, weight, carryweight
- New drone types include stealth drone, hack drone, emp drone (disables machinary including other drones, vehicles, and turrets)
- Drones can now be made to have multiple tools. For example a drone may have a hack tool and a stealth tool, or perhaps an emp device and a weapon.

Changes to Repair
- Repairers may now either repair by the current method or attempt to open an item up and replace damaged parts individually.
- replacing damaged parts requires the existance of new parts to replace the damaged ones with.
- replacing damaged parts requires more skill than simple repair but can result in repair without permanent condition loss. Replacing the parts in this manner however also costs more money because of cost in parts and because it requires more grease.

Changes to recycling
- Recyclers can now build whole itemparts from junk
- Which parts are available for the junk they have depends on skill
- the resulting quality of the parts is also based on skill
- Recyclers may now also remove parts from full items. This is especially useful because sometimes a broken item may ahve several itemparts which are completely intact. Also, some items which are lower quality may contain several higher quality itemparts which are tough to make and rare to find

Armor creation
- Armor is can now be custom created
- Each piece of armor protects against 3 types of damage. It has a Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary damage protections. The Primary is twice as powerful as the Secondary. The Tertiary is about 90% as effective as the Secondary.
- Effectiveness of the armor is based on the parts used in designing the armor. This is further modified by the type. Chest offers greatest protection, followed by legs, then head, then feet.

Black Market
- Certain rare drugs and non-store purchasable implants can be found in OZ and Pepper Park in random quanities and high prices from various vendors.
- rare drugs are illegal and if a Copbot detects them the person carrying them will be shot
- Second-hand implants are also illegal. Those detected carrying them will be shot
- Some implants are illegal to install. If a deepscan reveals such an implant installed, the person will be shot.

Thanx. It's good to know there are folks who like my ideas.


Seriously though, how cool would it be for this scenario:

You are a recycler, scavanging through miscellaneous boxes and crates deep in the Gaya Mines. You look over your shoulder in hopes there are no Mad CopBots or STORMbots about. While rummaging, you find an old broken plasma pistol, a busted nailgun, and a poor street rifle. You take your loot and hightail it out of there, running for your life (afterall, your fighting skills are horrible since you spent your skillpoints on recycling). Now that you're safely back at your apartment, you carefully open up the first gun, the broken plasma pistol. The parts seem to be for the most part scrap, except your discerning eye spots one part you think might be of use. So you remove it with care so as to not cause further damage. By wiring some old computer junk to it, you manage to salvage a perfect condition Tangent Mark XXI Proton Coil Inducer; a rare part capable of increasing shot frequency and damage at only a tiny cost to range. They are rare to find, and expensive to make. This particular one has lower weight and takes up less space than any you've ever seen. If a constructor were to use this part in making a gun, it would increase slot chances greatly.



I can think a million other cool ass scenarios for each of the tradeskills that would come as a result of changes like those.

What exactly is Carn's Island?


OOOH. Make the volcano area into some thing, like a small town for the arachnids, and make them a faction. (new class?) More skins, like mutant, arachnid, and stuff.

Here's another scenario I would love to be possible:


You are a notable Fallen Angels Researcher sitting in a research complex you purchased for a large sum of money. It increases your research skill half as much as an OP does but it affords you a safe area to conduct research without fear of intrusion. You are notable and rich, not because of your high skill, but because of your ingenius designs. You've designed some of the most popular weapons on the market to date, far surpassing the basic bland designs of Tangent, Archer & Wesson, and any other weapons manufacturer. For days you've been going over some of your previous schematics of various weapons, pouring through pages and pages of itempart lists, trying to design your next great weapon. Suddenly you are hit by inspiration. If you use a Transverse Wave Conductor in place of a Gyroscopic Load Balancer, you might just be able to make your dream of designing a Gatlin Raygun come true! You fire up your research deck and begin piecing together the parts in a simulation. The finished product will be of extremely high difficulty to produce a blueprint of, but here inside your lab, your resources afford you the skillboost you need for just such a task. You watch in glee as the final part is placed in the sim unit and your deck successfully burns the designs onto an empty datacube to form the blueprint successfully. This design might just change the face of warfare as we know it!

-Redone the graphics engine to allow dynamic/triggered events.

"ex City admin recieved a warning that a fusion missile was just launched from Dome of York (warning lights and sirens go off in the city of neocron), 5 mins later you can look up in the sky and see a bright light heading toward plaza 1. A few moments later a huge explosion inside the Plaza 1 medicare happens making it break and collapse in real-time, cracks form in the ground and players screens shake like a earthquake."

-Reintroduced original wasteland ideas where specific armor was required inorder to roam the wastelands do to toxins. Without specific armors, players will die from posion within seconds of leaving the city limits.

-Introduced Oxygen canister for armor.
-Added DoY
-Added Regant Legancy, will open shortly after certain events happen.
-Added More water only zones
-Added water/underwater vehicals
-Increase city zone sizes by 2, to give more of a feeling of being in a megacity instead of being in a township =P
-Added Underwater bases.
-Added New Pistols, rifles and cannons with FACTION specific requirements. Must complete epic also. TLs from 100-150
-Added new skill, Wisdom of Ceres which will allow players to gain more skill points after recoving a certain amount of wisdom of ceres disks.
-Improved netcode to support larger ammounts of players on screen.
-Improved graphics engine, all players should now see noticable fps improvements

All those plus some of whats already been stated would be nice.

you know i cant think of anything, ive gone blank, but i know for sure if what i read about the feature list doesnt impress, oh well time to scout reviews for other games then i guess, i could not go through another 3 months of the same stuff daily we got now

Disturbed021
26-01-04, 23:45
-they release it within the next month or 2 (yes i am dreaming:p ).

-melee weapons cut right through selters/deflectors.

-para is reduced to 25-30% effectiveness.

Ooo, I like the idea of shelters and deflectors having a range on them. Actually, it shouldn't be limited to just melee. It should simply be a range factor. So that if you are close enough, you can use any weapon and it would cut through.

I think i would like to add one more thing

-Added animations for walking and reloading. You can see other players walk and reload now

Clyde
27-01-04, 07:13
you dont see others reload or walk when they are walking, the only time you see them walking is like when theres some clipping action like when theyre going thru the walls or something. I tested this with bonnies computer watching me as i tried to walk, it just look like your running slow. Kinda like when someone is parashocked, when you see them theyre not walking or running they just kinda run for a mil second and skip back a lil and stop. I think that is caused by the lag tho

27-01-04, 07:57
Sort out guard issues
Make buffs cast when you try to cast them
Make it so u can cast spells on hill without calls down the whoel hill to get a miscast.
Sort out "you cant use this item yet"when you blatantly can.
Make clan wars work.
Sort out soul light
Fix tradeskill XP

Sort the normal FRE/Lag/syncs.

Not greatly fussed about new content jsut wish the current content worked.

-LE removed
-ALL safezones removed.
-Hackers can hack into peoples apts (but not cabs) to kill people.
-Hackers can find people locations, so they can find them and kill them
-All store bought weapons get a rare equivilent, gaty pistol, auto pistol, gat cannon, gendade launcher, etc.
-items drop in belts but you dont need hack to get them, loot rights go to the killer
-gain cash from killing other players
-Much more blood and gore during combat, people can be torn apart, ex a terminator hit point blank to someone with very low hp will blow them in half.
-bonuses for raiding HQ's
-More interesting PvM combat... fast monsters that hit hard but have lower hp, so its more like pvp, would make leveling more fun.
-stealth has 10 second recharge time
-more options for resisting poison.
-reseach is fater and more xp for tradeskilling (yes, i have tradeskillers, even I need to get stuff built ressed.... just dont like the pussies who never come out of plaza)
-some stat system showing how many people you have killed vs deaths, and a system to stop people exploiting it.
-Weapons balanced... ex raygun actually get some sort of reasoable drawback, fusion weapons made better, burst weapons hit more often etc.

-the APC building-money-making-thing nerfed to hell
-graphics engine greatly upgraded including Havok physics ect.
-added material arts class type
-PPUs greatly nerfed
-Enourmous amount of quests added, and not just bring x item from a to b, like good quests which contributes to the storyline. Best items drop from questspawned mobs that will take 20+ players to kill.
-Tradeskillers completely reworked to include something fun in it.
-Damage upped on all weapons to make 1on1 duels/killing people running past you faster.
-Mobs now have good AI and some will have ability too hack and loot quickbelts.
-MC5 completely reworked to make it fun to be newbie, and fun to be highlvl. Up the droprate on MC5 rareparts but also up the difficulity and remove the exploits and the saferoom.

I'll probably get some more ideas but this was on top of my head.

300/300 mobs to be added, like a GIANT killer DROM, or a GIANT GRIMCHASER that takes like 10 people to kill it.
