A new thing to make vehicles even more OPed!

Hence why Everyone needs that chill pill.

On-topic:
Not the polarized hull, the “strengthened bonds” thing. Sounds outlandish enough to go with everything else, and I too prefer that over an energy shield.

What about actually covering the surface of your vehicle with a teleporter screen thats linked to somewhere in other dimension or high in earths atmosphere, so instead of actually colliding with stuff you just portal cut the surfaces that come in “contact” with it. This possibly adheres to the lore and could allow for your interdimensional friends to visit.

No. XD

[quote=“ChristopherWalken, post:24, topic:4499”]I made a remark and he keeps making aggressive posts trying to get a rise out of me because I’m against his kind.
I think it’s worth pointing out because he’s really bad at hiding it.[/quote]

This very much looks like a simple misunderstanding.
“I know what you are.” and “I’m against his kind” are out of line.
Keep a lid on your whatever-hate in this forum.

Given the future scenario in which Cataclysm takes place, I think magnetic shield wouldn’t be far off, maybe give it some trade-offs like costing lots of batteries or just plain heavier.
The portal shield sounds interesting too, basically the shield would active and deactivate thousand times per second, cutting the colliding objects into many thin pieces.

dwarfkoala · 2013-12-16T03:29:07.000Z

And remember, if we have portals then we should have nasties too

GrizzlyAdamz · 2013-12-16T05:05:52.000Z

Heh, that sounded kinda far-fetched, but as a mind exercise:

How much power does a bionic teleporter cost each time it’s used?

Looks like 10 bionic power. Typical bionic power storage is 4; that’s about 8 hunger worth from MI or a few branches.

Thanks for asking; saw something in the code that’ll come in handy.

Actually, I rethought it and it wouldnt be necessary for it to switch between on and off states, you could possibly just drive straight into whatever you want and it would simply get teleported out of the way, It would be just like walking into a portal, with the only difference that you are standing still and the portal is rushing towards you at 88mph!

It would possibly need at least 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to operate reliably though.

I don’t think the portal shield is a good idea unless/until you have an idea of how you could destroy an enemy vehicle that has this system and has enough power/fuel to keep it active whenever it would be useful. Does shooting it with an anti-tank mininuke rocket work? Do you want to play in a world where mininuke rockets don’t wreck things?

Actually a vehicular sonic resonator would be more interesting. Maybe not so you can constantly discharge it to punch through a building, but perhaps a quick burst so you can take out all the trees around you to build up space if you get stuck in a forest. Plus, you could do interesting things like build a vehicle frame around a bunker, then stick a resonator on it to crack the bunker open.

Sounds like (ha! ha ha!) a suggestion for another high science weapon, a sort of analogue to the bionic resonator: a sonic cannon that runs on plutonium or something and can be mounted to a vehicle.

Sonic weapon

Sonic and ultrasonic weapons (USW) are weapons of various types that use sound to injure, incapacitate, or kill an opponent. Some sonic weapons are currently in limited use or in research and development by military and police forces. Some of these weapons have been described as sonic bullets, sonic grenades, sonic mines, or sonic cannons. Some make a focused beam of sound or ultrasound; some make an area field of sound. Extremely high-power sound waves can disrupt or destroy the eardrums of a ...

when can we get metal gears?

Back to the “protect from collision damage”/“repair collision damage” ideas.
For 1), I suggest some sort of protective foam applied on top of the boards/whatever (a part which would soak up dmg).
For 2), I suggest a Car Repair CBM.

Cherry · 2014-01-31T17:33:09.000Z

Nanobot base installed onto the vehicle, activate when car is running for repairs!

Yay.

No, because no one got around to actually coding it.

How about an excavator part that could be found in construction sites or subway tunnels ((Attached to a TBM that might spawn there)) or constructed with sufficient skill?

You can’t place anything else where you put it ((Like Spikes/Blades)) and it’s massively damaging/durable.
