New CBM Disscussion

system · 2013-06-19T03:13:06.000Z

Liquid Nitrogen Pump: filters nitrogen out of the air and liquifies it, while spraying down upon whatever poor sap you happen to hit. Freezing them solid.

concur

also maybe we could split up integrated toolset a bit. right now its far and away one of the best CBMs. like put the welder on a different CBM, like either its own (CBM welder arm) or put it on the laser finger CBM.[/quote]

Yeah, and create even more tool-creep. Hey, if I wanted nerf I’d go buy a foam-rubber thingamabob. Leave Integrated Toolset alone. >-(

what do you mean by tool-creep?

also above someone mentioned implanted firearms and implanted grenade launchers…

what about CBM: Weapons Pod that lets you install any weapon for hands-free use? like uhhh…

except you could put in whatever gun you wanted?

Implanted Wet Bar. Like Water Resevoir, but for booze.

oh, oh! what about Internal Still, which could make potatos into vodka, corn into whiskey, bread into beer, fruit into wine, honey into mead (wait, do we have all these alcohols in the game??), an make tequila out of uhhhh plant marrow?

anyway, it’s a CBM that makes alcohol.

Then we use our ethanol burners to get plastered and make power! I think I like this idea.

TaigaR · 2013-06-19T07:04:33.000Z

Make ethanol burner and internal furnace stationery items, not inside bionics.
And make charging from cars and stationery generators.

this one is plausible as fire extinguishers can freeze and kill liquid enemies if you spray them a few times with it.

Car Jack - A jump lead cable connected to your internal batteries. Allows you to drain power from car engines at the cost of breaking the engine. Gain more or less energy based on the damage of the engine & type of engine. So undamaged engines give more energy than damaged engines. and 1 cylinder engines give less energy overall than other types of engine. Engines must be installed in a car to draw power for balancing.

Full body Flashbang - Causes small panels on your skin to use your energy to create a high powered flash of light that stuns enemies nearby.

Gene analyser - When powered analyses your genes and if you are about to mutate tells you which mutation you will gain and might allow you to cancel the mutation entirely at a higher power cost. Gives you the option to power it after drinking a mutagen/ eating a foetus etc

Clairvoyance System - While powered give you the abilities of a Clairvoyance artefact.

Full body flashbang = Solar flare

CBM: Scouting Drone?

Stevensonz · 2013-06-26T07:12:34.000Z

Chain lightning,Flash-bang and other neat new CBM’s have been added to the nightly version by ejseto

I’m kinda wondering if there should be a way to balance CBMs, like say, encumberance. Each CBM you install to a limb and it adds .5 or .25 encumberance or something, storage batteries might be free or even they cost points.

I do like the idea of CBMs and becoming godlike and stuff like the tremendously huge cars, but I’m sure there are some who would appreciate a more strategic method.

CBMs could be removed just about the same way they got put in… knives. Could take survival as a skill instead of medicine for success rate.

Assuming that the science-fiction technology that allow self-installation of cybernetic implants in non-sterile conditions are at least as medically competent in other aspects of their design as current, real-life prosthetic technology, there would be little to no difference in weight, volume, or encumberance between an artificial limb and a natural one.

I’d assume the other cybernetics would be equally balanced. No one would ever mass-market a cybernetic implant that makes you functionally worse off after you install it. (I’m looking at you CBM: Fusion Blaster!)

Tee · 2013-06-26T20:20:00.000Z

I’m pretty much sure it’s probably already in the game, but maybe a gas mask CBM.

Lung Filters, blocks out any poison, smoke, or other harmful gasses

vultures · 2013-06-26T20:46:35.000Z

@Tee - yes, there is a way to breathe pure air, even under water.

Scent Decoy. As above, but scent only.

Also in game, some kind of Obliterator.

there is an air filtration cbm but it doesnt really work very well

Yeah, the air filter only kicks in if you’re wearing less than a Filter Mask, and only really brings you up to that standard. Mine exploration is Gas Mask, no exceptions.

Stevensonz · 2013-06-26T23:15:02.000Z

perhaps making it rarer,harder to install and use more power to bring it to gas mask level could be made if devs agree on it.

CBM: Modulating Melee Attachment

This cybernetic enhancement replaces one of the users arms up to the forearm with a series of hidden weapons in a realistic prosthetic replacement. Activate to cycle through the available weapons.

Activating this module would cycle through a built-in sword, baton and some kind of short spear. Would be a really good swiss-army any situation enhancement. The weapons wouldn’t be the best around but they would certainly be better than your typical impromptu weapon you find laying around.

CBM: Punishment
Your blood is the holy water for zombies. Every hostile contact with your body flushes some blood out of your system, with heavier blows showering the undead with your bodily fluid which burns them like a deadly acid. Install [Y/N]?
