Explosives

[Saul Retav]

I haven't seen much on this and haven't heard if it's planned, so here it is:

I think combat should include explosive elements like mines, bombs, and grenades. Blast radius weapons that aren't just point and shoot. The potential overpoweredness of it could be tamed with appropriate defenses such as shields, radar, fancy footwork, and active protection systems (point defense, countermeasures, laser missile defense, etc.). I think it would add a lot of richness and tactical diversity to the combat dynamic.

 

Thoughts? ? ? ?

Afaik explosives will be part of DU at some point.

You forgot Nukes, for drops or mounted on a rocket/missile. We should definitely have those

explosive shells with anti aircraft fuses may be nice

[Takao]

Anti aircraft fuse???

You mean proximity fuse?

As the combat is stat based those fuses would mean, that you still do fragmentation (and possible explosion, depending on how much you "missed") damage if you didn't hit the target "directly".

If explosives weren't planned for this game then I don't think I would have fronted 500 for it.

 

Very interested in how anti-air weapons develop.

Hmmmmmm how does this sound  "Quantum Singularity Bomb". A Black hole in a vial

something about not wanting weapons of mass destruction. Although, knowing gamers, we'll find a way. You hear me, NQ? WE'LL FIND A WAY! *mad laughter*
