Title: Paintball Gun- crazy idea? I think not
Post by: SSC-ADMRL on August 03, 2002, 03:22:10 pm
Dont you think that a paintball gun would be a good tactical weapon in this game? Since paint has no high energy it could go through shields.  where the real tactics come in is that it can blind your enemies if you hit them in the cockpit, or partially blind them in a part of the cockpt.  IT would also look cool at the designs you could make on cap ships and crazy stuff like that
just an idea

Wouldn't there be problems with changing maps in game too?

Still, it would be funny. I think it would go well with the racing maze thing they're talking about somewhere around here. :D

Once you get damage decals on ships working this would be a really cute little feature - ala Goldeneye on the N64...

That would be cool for a little training mission. The first one to "Tag" the other ships with a paintball wins. Then a Shivan cruiser or something warps in, and you're screwed.

Hehe, just like "A game of TAG", ahhh.
Hmmm... Goldeneye, great game, only ever played against my Dad, and he's crap at it.

speaking of training missions, is there any such sexp as something like has-locked   you know, with an aspect missile. That's what the military does, it would be kind of cool.

Ummmmm...wouldn't the paint inside the paintball gun freeze in space?

More to the point how the hell would you propel it? (Without sploding it all over the firing chamber!)

Maybe a paint missile that explodes and sprays paint everywhere when it gets to the enemy ship? :D

you take a dumbfire missile and swap out its warhead with a bag of paint and a small detonator to spread it all over the place.

It could be a directed paint explosion, and write "0wnagE" in 50 meter high letters on the enemy capship. :D

Shouldn't this be more source-code oriented?
