The mutants are coming!

*sam* Posted Nov 19, 2009, 3:15 pm |
I'm just implementing mutants, who will turn up occasionally as player characters as well as in specific NPC mutant gangs.
These guys will generally have high strength and speed, often have low dex, and will always age considerably faster than 'norms'. They will be more adept at picking up psionics (which I'm working on next). A big thank you to goat for the great work making skins for these!

Jety Posted Nov 19, 2009, 4:06 pm |
Would it be reasonable to more generally say they have two good stats and one crappy one? What about the evil lizard mutants, they should have high dex and speed with crummy strength. Or the knuckle-men of Firelight valley, they should have high strength and dex, but low speed. | ||||
|
*sam* Posted Nov 19, 2009, 4:10 pm |
Sounds good Jety, yeah. | ||||

I am shocked there aren't goat-headed mutants.
Giant electro-pat-on-the-back, goat. These are super cool. |

These are all terrible goat: get back to work!

Bah, He's a little puppy dog really. well, except for the cute bit... cos he sure ain't cute.... |
||||

*Grograt* gary.r.horder@gmail.com Posted Nov 19, 2009, 11:26 pm |
I dunno he might be a ten pinter 
|

*Ninesticks* Posted Nov 19, 2009, 11:52 pm |
So what you are actually saying is that Goat is a right puppy dog s***e?
That aside, really nice work Goat. |

aw shucks guys!

Joel Autobaun Posted Nov 20, 2009, 1:46 am |
these are "in" I can possibly recruit right now?
And will the recruiter spec help (that would be nice for that spec to have some use). |
||||
|
*sam* Posted Nov 20, 2009, 8:13 am |
I'm patching them in right now. Recruiter doesn't help; they're arguably not more desirable than 'norms'; plus there will be ramifications to having 'muties' in your gang later, when I have implemented per-faction reputation.
BTW I wouldn't recommend repeated hiring-and-firing to get one of these; you'll get frustrated. Maybe only negative rep. gangs should be able to get them?? |
||||
|
Lord Foul Posted Nov 20, 2009, 8:32 am |
Let all gangs recruit normally, but allow "recruiter" spec to work if neg rep. gang? |
||||
|
4saken Posted Nov 20, 2009, 8:55 am |
This sounds like a winner. Mutants? Per-faction rep? Psionics? Sam is on a roll! |
||||
|
*sam* Posted Nov 20, 2009, 8:59 am |
LOL, thanks 4saken
these are all features that have been planned for years too
BTW: something not previously mentioned that I decided at the last minute is that muties are more prone to developing drug addictions and more strongly affected by 46 Y-s. |
||||
|
*goat starer* Posted Nov 20, 2009, 9:55 am |
Mmmmmmmmm! Sam.. on a roll... with mustard... |
||||
|
*Grograt* gary.r.horder@gmail.com Posted Nov 20, 2009, 11:05 am |
Per faction rep !!! i like the sound of this | ||||
|
*sam* Posted Nov 20, 2009, 12:37 pm |
I just checked the database and our first mutant now exists! He belongs to a brand-new gang however so the owner might never realise or use him...

23 years old and weakening? We wont ever have time to get mutant gangers to +100 stats then.

*Rezeak* reecestensel@hotmail.co.uk Posted Nov 21, 2009, 12:06 am |
wahaay, after five attempts i got a mutie in Badlands
|
||||
|
Lord Foul Posted Nov 21, 2009, 12:28 am |
Awesome stats Rezeak,
These muties are the " burn out" instead of "Fade away" type of characters. They come in swinging hard and fast, but don't last long. |
||||
|
*Rezeak* reecestensel@hotmail.co.uk Posted Nov 21, 2009, 12:33 am |
well all my gangers are "burn out" cause i treat them soo bad, the muties are gonna "spontaniously combust"

Are you sure she is strong enough to carry a shotgun ?

No need for rapid reload with that speed....too bad started a mech

*sam* Posted Nov 23, 2009, 12:34 pm |
FYI a gang can now have no more than 10% of its members as mutants, unless its leader is a mutant.
When per-faction reputations are implemented, this 10% figure will be higher or lower depending on your reputation with the mutant faction(s). |
||||
|
*sam* Posted Nov 24, 2009, 4:55 pm |
More mutants coming soon! A little coding work will be needed before I can add the second guy, to deal with his mutated hands which resemble bear claws! (Thanks goat )

bless her little cotton socks... strength now only 6! |

Zephyr Posted Jan 6, 2010, 12:09 am |
I recently recruited two mutants in a row.  Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. (FYI, recruited both in SS)
Yvette Perez Age 20 Health: Good STR: 154 DEX: 33 SPD: 62 LD: 30 COU: 62 Skill: Driving 21 I reckon I'll nickname her "She-Hulk" if she ever gets enough skill. Or, if Sam introduces body armor, I'll get her all armored up and call her the "Terminatrix." Too bad you can't use hammers on cars. I have yet to see how far she can throw a grenade, but I figure her range may be similar to a CGL. I have noticed that she is quite resistant to damage. She was driving in an arena combat recently and her vehicle caught on fire. Her gunner was receiving moderate concussion hits every turn from the fire, but she was just fine. It would also be fun to have her running around in combats flipping over cars. I figure, if you can turn a turtled car back on to its wheels, why not flip over a currently upright one?
Here's my other mutant character: Xavier Hornsby Age: 20 Health: Weakening (!!!) STR: 107 DEX 31 SPD 125 LD 31 COU 66 Skill: Trucker 20 Alcohol User Zerk Light User A mutant named Xavier? He just HAS to have psychic potential. How do I check, or develop this? His Psi skill is currently 0. |

|
Nekojin Posted Jan 6, 2010, 12:12 am |
High STR will do that.
|
||||
|
*goat starer* Posted Jan 6, 2010, 12:13 am |
well at least your weakening one starts with a high strength...
poor old sally is now a mere 21 years old worn down with a strength of 1 
|
||||
|
*Longo* Posted Jan 6, 2010, 12:56 am |
Maybe first ever to die a natural death? |
||||
|
*Lugal* Posted Jan 6, 2010, 1:11 am |
"Doctor, what's wrong with her?" "I dunno... never seen anything like it. She ain't bleeding, ain't radiation, ain't bug poison... I... I just don't know." |

|
*goat starer* Posted Jan 9, 2010, 7:57 pm |
Strength is now 0... but shes hanging in there

Er.. she probably shouldn't be. I don't think I coded in death due to drug-related attribute decline yet, I only did it for age-related. | ||||
|
FireFly Posted Jan 9, 2010, 9:27 pm |
So, we finally have our first natural death? | ||||
|
*sam* Posted Jan 9, 2010, 9:28 pm |
Well.. not quite sure how natural it is to kill yourself with 46Y-s, but heh.. | ||||
|
FireFly Posted Jan 9, 2010, 9:34 pm |
Okay then, first "Death by Drugs"
|
||||
|
*goat starer* Posted Jan 10, 2010, 4:10 am |
sam.. i have been waiting for her to die to find out whether we get told when a ganger dies or whether they just disappear? | ||||
|
Zephyr Posted Jan 10, 2010, 6:54 am |
Perhaps we should have some kind of log describing certain things of importance that occurred while we were offline. Things like, gangers dying due to "natural" causes, gangers leaving / becoming sick due to lack of food, items for sale in marketplaces selling... things like that.
Or maybe I should just post this under "suggestions"
|

*goat starer* Posted Jan 19, 2010, 7:59 pm |
Sally has died
:-( |

*Lugal* Posted Jan 19, 2010, 8:34 pm |
Luna Sea is there for you during your time of mourning.
Later, we'll be shooting at you again. But now? There for you. |

|
*goat starer* Posted Jan 19, 2010, 8:35 pm |
yeah well thats rich coming from mr 'kill goats best handgunner and blow the leg off his second best!'
LOL
|
||||
|
*Lugal* Posted Jan 19, 2010, 9:24 pm |
Hey now, I never blew the leg off of anyone... er... in that race. I fired twice, cleanly killing both targets.
One guy took an ATG round to the heart, the other took a round to the face. One handgunner was down by the time I got there, and the fourth jumped into a hazard van. Besides, hazards aren't people

*goat starer* Posted Jan 19, 2010, 11:35 pm |
'Beaver' Brook Staton was a person...
she survived 4 zombie battles, and 2 faster pussycat races.... and you killed her with an anti tank gun... THAT SHE PAID FOR!!!!
|

|
*Lugal* Posted Jan 20, 2010, 2:58 am |
And boy did she pay for it!!
