Title: Boom Box Weapon - Bring the Funk
Post by: Hai Fisch on May 29, 2015, 04:38:43 am
First Post.

So, why is there no giant directional speaker that can be crammed in a gun hardpoint? Pure Psychological weapon, no damage. Toggles on/off. Default ammo links it to crew chat, ammo gives a noise (like a fog horn for lesmok, fire engire siren for heatsink, car alarm = greased...)

Could people just turn of sound? Sure, doesn't matter that much.  What matters is that, not only did you come flying out of the clouds, guns blazing, playing 'Flight of the Concords', The galleon you just snuck up on gets to hear it too!

Congratz on your first post and welcome to the forum

Horns (as non-weapons) has been already suggested many times.

I don't see reason to replace any weapon with horn. If you want to throw your weapon spot out of the window, you can always take the harpoon.

Also, perhaps fluff reasons.

Actually if it could play whatever tune we wanted...I entirely support this change. Just work it through Steam voice but have it broadcast to all. Every time my Squid attacks, the Shinryaku! song would play...pure bliss and pure terror.

Course the sad thing is...this fun would be ruined by trolls and people using it for the wrong reasons and thus it would get removed right away. We can't have nice things because these people exist. So, nice idea, but never going to happen because of people.

Much rather a pilot tool where if equipped your voice chat becomes set to lobby voice chat during match.

That or if you simply press the use button like any tool and hold it. It becomes an all can hear button (even in spectate).

I give you the MEGAPHONE!

If we get to do custom sounds........merc kill=BOOM headshot, squid ambush=Flight of the Valkyries, I can think of so many more.....

I saw this post and I'm like "hey, this sounds like an idea a Bard would have" AND SURE ENOUGH

Obviously I'm all for this idea, and anyone with any basic decency would be as well

This is amazing.

Play songs with heavy bass when goomba stomp

Death metal or something when ramming

This is what I think too... A great idea which would be good but ultimately would be abused by trolls :(

Heh, Noise Marines take the skies!

This could be abused if allowed custom music, I mean, I'd ram myself in a wall if I had to listen to something like Anaconda over and over again. Maybe that's the point...
On the other hand, the idea of sonic weaponry is rather awesome.
Blasting people to Abney Park would be fun.

Does that mean we get to shoot adamantium sacks of power doorknobs as a special ammo?

I imagine having Angry Marines would be something like this:

As we approached the canyons, one of my engineers claimed he heard a noise deeper in the mists. I slowed down on the kerosene and quieted the engines, I hear what sounded like a mix of metal noise and a long yell. Started, I decided to seek an alternative route before a great yellow and red ship bellowed out of the crevice, speakers and tubes over its hull seemingly screaming only one word:

“FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-”

They plowed into our ship, my crew screamed themselves as they saw our inevitable doom, my own vessel being smashed upon he rocks, the war cry so much clearer from our advisory.

“-UUUUUCK YOOOOU!!!!”

Mines flew out around us, the only clear sign of who-or what- was the clear mark of an angry frown painted on said mines, fire and explosives breaking my ship  into the rocks, they uncaring of the carnage as they rammed my ship again and again while shouting:

“STOP HITTING YOURSELF! STOP HITTING YOURSELF!”

There is nothing left.

I was thinking more along the lines of blasting "You Spin Me Round" while locking down the enemy ship with a dual Minotaur broadside.

@ Carn
The Angry Marines are a really popular meme/home brew Space Marine Chapter as Shaded said. If you need a good laugh I'd check out the 1d4chan post on them, it's incredibly vulgar but freakishly hilarious. Its even got unofficial codex to play them if you feel like being angry and screaming. *ahem* ALWAYS ANGRY ALL THE TIME

@ ShadedExalt
Thanks! I might have played an Angry Marine one too many times on the Space Marine multiplayer mode...

On Actual Subject
I imagine if this system was to be used there would be a sound pack, much like the voice packs that could be mixed and made on the workshop. As fun as it would be to blast sounds at each other, we all know it'd be abused pretty badly and some measure of control would have to be in place...or another slot added to the report form...

Female Space Marines?

HERESY

I actually think female SM's would be cool.  Better than the nuns with guns.

As for music... Yakety Sax, derp song, trolololo for 5 flare mobula
Castle of Glass for Pyra, either that or 'Dream of an Absolution', because MUSE CAN'T MAKE UP IT'S DAMN MIND
Sonic theme for Squid ("Runnin' around at the speed of sound~")
Gott Mitt Uns for Galleon
Timber for Blenderfish
Firework for Hwachafish
No clue for Spire.  Ideas?

I am imagining having a Galleon fire a loch merc shot on 'Gott', and then the H.flak firing for 'Mitt' and 'Uns'.  If one can't do it, add another.
