Flare Fun:

(1/2) > >>

The Mann:
In the greenlight of the bring back the flare protest, I have a proposition.

Different Ammos have different effects right, how bout this,

Standard = green

Incen = red

Loch = Rainbow "its experimental"

Burst = Its current color, black? (maybe a possible cloak weapon) or Normal?

Charged = White

Heatsink = light blue

Lesmok = yellow

Greased = Normal Green

Heavy = Normal Green

The different colours are the different shades made in clouds :D

Your thoughts on this?

Daft Loon:
This has my vote.

Some thoughts:
Burst - increased illumination radius

One of them, charged maybe providing glare instead of spotting, making the cloud less transparent

Loch - if rainbow is a bit much maybe having it give a shorter, much more intense burst of light, bigger than burst even

Novel effects for novel guns - currently the way it works is that ammo has the same effect on every gun (excluding effects that themselves have no effect), i think as would be needed for this there should be an exception for unusual guns, the harpoon certainly and maybe the minotaur, flamer or mines (although mines allready get an interesting variety of effect)

I completely agree with you Daft Loon, I could understand that normal guns, Gatling and Mortars for example should stay with the same effects but unusual guns such as Flares, Harpoons and Flamers could possibly have different affects such as different colours or with the case of the Harpoon, a different type of rope perhaps?.

We already know that the Mine Launch has a few effects such as the Lochnagar shot, it makes the Mine literally spawn in your face.

With other guns, too, placing a loch in a gatling makes cool blue bullets show up which then inevitably break the gun

Byron Cavendish:
I really don't see Eric agreeing to this, great idea though.

Frostbound:
Colours didn't really seem like a good idea, but having the ammo type affect the flare's lighting is really intriguing.

I agree with Daft Loon here, something like that would give some tactical depth to the flare as well.
