Pilot Tools: Cannibalize

<< < (2/4) > >>

Squidslinger Gilder:
Yeah it could be engineer tool too. However, it could be used for trolling if that happened. Thats the only reason I figured pilot. Sure a pilot could troll with it, but unless they don't care, they'll want to save it for when its needed. Unless there would be an option to resolve this. Also I don't think engineers would take a tool like this if it meant sacrificing something else. Think about it, if they took this over a spray flames could easily overwhelm and no matter how much HP to transfer to hull, you'll fold up in no time.

The airships are already impossible in our world. Realistically putting armor plates over a balloon would take time but there wouldn't be time for that in a battle. Better to just go arcade with it. Ships would need to have a special effect to signify the pilot is using a "oh crap" tool. Enemies could then switch target or just wait it out.

Think in competitive battles would come down to using these and timing of use. Do you engage early when shots start landing, or wait till the last moment and make a foe waste their clip?

Anyways, doubt this would be a real thing. Just posting it since the idea popped in my mind. Might be something for Adventure mode to survive boss fights.

Remember It's steampunk (dieselpunk), not arcade. How can you physically transfer metal from hull to baloon? Because for me this sounds really ridiculous.

The entire game is totally ridiculous, for example: engineers inflate balloons by whacking them with hammers and then running away, all the gunners shouldn't be able to move under the weight of all that ammo, airships themselves have impossibly large gondolas, armor-stripping gatlings (bullets don't work that way), lack of any sort of sights on most guns, ships springing full-formed from thin air in the middle of the map et cetera et cetera.

Just roll with it dude..

Regarding OP, I can already see in my mind's eye goldfish and squid flying around being as tough as junkers (all perma transferred to armor) and terrorizing all the other ships.

Wundsalz:
I like quesos idea better. Let us turn that those powder monkeys getting stuck on pyra-balcony-beacons into a useful entity for the ship!
eating a fellow crew-member could grant a "well fed"-buff  allowing engineers to whack their tools harder and granting gunners the ability to perform leaps to board enemy ships. Awesome!

DJ Tipz N Trix:
there should be a hunger stat so that matches don't take forever.  cannibalize will help stave it off.

Queso:
What have I done...
