Theres a thread thats been going for ages now with NPC designs

Would any body like to see any of these designs?

Would you prefer to see more trade vehicles, more pirate vehicles, a new deathracer or combat car. Some have talked about varying armour types. Do you have anything else to say on it?

What I would love to see is for each common and semi rare body types that have random weapon types that appear.

If a vehicle has allocation for say 60 points... might get a mmg set, perhaps a single car cannon or atg... maybe a napalm gun and a mmg...

Because you never quite know what you get...


But other than that... sure love to see the designs....

As well as adding new designs, can I suggest the removal of some designs from certain events. CoE III events with Sporty Vans and Semi Tractors often turn into frustrating experiences, largely due to the inability of such vehicles to reach difficult gates.

Maybe if some new racer types are created, these could be used to replace such duffers.

Necro's idea for a random element would be good, providing it can be coded to generate sensible alternatives, rather than more useless designs like the Da Vinci. Not knowing whether your opponent is mounting an MG or a HMG would introduce a much-needed sense of trepidation.

Give the Davinci a Napalm Gun instead of a Paintgun

"Salamander"

Make a Napalm version of the Maelstrom

"Pyroclasm"

Never look down on the davinci, it might not be the same these days but back in the old days a da-vinci or other vehicle with PG's was the ONLY think that would scare even veterans in fire engines if they got close.

Now that I think of it, veterans in fire engines even more :)

Yes

Sam should let players submit designs and pick the best ones to use - I'd definitely like to see designs that incorporate the NG and maybe even the FG, or trader vehicles with dropped weapons that they know how to use (ie repeat fire) ;)

Yeah, before paint got nerfed, DaVinci's were a NPC build you had to worry about.
But back then PG's were worth MONEY too....
If you were a newb and looted one, your gang was gonna have a serious financial windfall if you put it up in the market.

I laugh when I see DaVinci's now....harder when it's 6 turns into the loot process and the PG is still sitting there!

Ah, the good old days.....

To be honest, I miss the ability to run REAL megas more than the PG's :)

Do Ps's or PG's do anything other than turn your car pink. I ran some in a deathrace, but really didn't see an effect.

I still find paint scary. Just a few turns of innacurate shooting down south can be fatal.

They do.  Each time they are painted it lowers their to-hit.  I have had a Sniper3 miss at near point blank range for 3 turns after getting painted 3 times in a row.  And it takes a few turns to clear too.

Almost lost a twin tankgun FE to this once, crewed by my best people no less! It was struck by about 5 or 6 PG strikes at the very least and it couldn't hit jackall for the next 10 turns at least.

Certainly not useless, simply sub-optimal for PvP, just like a lot of weapons.

yeah, paint still scary imo


Anyways, would seem this is a fairly popular thing, might have to run one past sam and see what he says. Although, I do believe he stated recently that he is old and senile and cannot remember the code anymore. Theres an element of a fine political leader.

I am surprised there are not VW beetles. That is a car I kind of associated with the apocalypse. Almost as many of them as real beetles.

I would love to see more variety in the wilderness builds and death-racers particularly of the common chassis that only have a few variants.

The death-races where the vehicles have rear and side weapons are far more interesting as it avoids the standard tactic of hanging to the back and waiting till the NPC kill themselves and then mopping up.
