New Armour

Sirus

<div class="IPBDescription">...</div> i say make a whole new armor, flamethrower armor, like firebats, this way u can justify being fire-proof and u could balance the game by making the wpn and armor expensive, a flamethrower would be great, especially as a counter against fades. i would then say to balance the hmg more so that the marines wouldnt be too strong with the new flamethrower gear.

Sirus

this should kinda be in the suggestion forum..oops...

Soulja-Rags

Yeah, unless its a Mreq, then it belongs here.

Well a flamethrower sure is possible with the particle system.
And it would fit nicely in the game.

Give it a lot of damage, but make the player vulnerable when using it, eg: give him a big tank on his back, and if it's hit, he blows up and does massive damage to any units nearby.

Sentinel1

YE start speaking to the NS team about having this wepon for onos + fade counter attack wepon + armor set =E

Soulja-Rags

A flamethrower would be great.

Your Avatar seems to disagree <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. Yea, a flamthrower would be sweet. Easier to fight fades and onos' with it.

Except since not every alien has a projectile attack, the marines would just coat the floors and walls in flame and sit back while raping the aliens with no recourse.

ZeroSaber

I'm sure it wouldn't really hurt a skulk Leaping from a full-speed charge, straight at the marine, and mid-leap, detonating himself, which detonates the marine's flame tank, killing not only everyone around him, but several base structures as well.

Cool.

Sirus

there are flamethrowers in Team fortress so a Flamethrower in NS is very possible. just make them slow or something or have low hp. i dunno, there should always be some class/unit that will trump another, and then something else that will trump that, thats what real a RTS is like, so dont think its imbalanced if something that took like 150 resources to get and 30 min + can kill a skulk easily. u can have skulks as soon as the game starts.

ZZZ

i think i would be nice
how bout it being able to lay temporary walls or something like you could do in the thing? i dunno if that would be fair though

BiTMAP

Instead if anything maybe 1 attack for humans to get farther away units or something... but other then taht it's balanced.

Private_Coleman

Desert Crisis-style would be a lot better than tfc-style, maybe a bit more spread?

BiTMAP

how bout a plasma sprayer, it could be an alien weapon that is an advanced type chamber? I mean c'mon that would be kneet <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> (tis would be a blue flame thrower basicly).
