[UI] Collection designs

Hello,
I want to present an good idea of the German forum from the user †ѕησωѕтσя왆, I like it so much, so I want to share this in the english forum.
I try to translate (and change) it (a little) :
-Hello DO-Players,
Today like every day I fly again over the maps. I noticed that there aren't many different designs. The majority of the players use Bastion/Enforcer, the others an Aegis. It looks a little boring.
In addition to the PvP players and the Galaxy Gate farmers there are the peaceful alien hunters, who shoot relaxed the NPCs and wouldn't hurt a fly.
So I've got the idea for the collection designs, which you can craft, they are for the alien hunters.
The collection designs can be used as a design OR they can be put over a “normal” as Bastion, Enforcer, Veteran etc. The bonuses of the collection designs and the “normal” designs will be combined additively. For example the “Crystal” design can be combined with Enforcer OR Bastion. Both varieties look different. (Sorry, I'm not good in Photoshop, I can't show you an example)
There is a chance (dependent on shield+HP maybe?) for a fragment when destroying an alien. You will get a (NPC)[replace (NPC) by the NPC name which you destroyed] fragment, for example Streuners give “Streuner fragments”, Boss Streuners “Boss Streuner fragments” and Uber Streuners “Uber Streuner Fragments” usw. But the fragmentof the “higher developed NPCs” can be used as a fragment of a lower developed NPC, for example if the recipe 2 Streuner fragments, you can also use 2 Boss Streuner fragments or 2 Uber Streuner fragments. Streuner and StreuneR are not the same.
Besides there is a rare chance for receiving “Helix fragments” from Cargo boxes (maybe dependant on the alien) and from Helix Bonus Boxes.

Besides you damage all opponents target acquisition, so they miss 30% of their Laser salves for 5 seconds.
      • “Plasma decay” (cool down: 8 minutes; duration: 22 seconds):
        • Shots a plasma liquid to the marked target, whose damage are decreased by 2% for each second (cap: at 20 seconds, 40%), after this 20 seconds the targets speed is decreased to 0

I hope, you like this idea and I ask for constructive proposals for improvement or new designs.
If the designs should be too strong or too weak, just tell me this.
Also I hope the descriptions are not too boring/cheesy/just stupid ^^



Retards Despair-

This idea fits with the upcoming crafting system.

My own best regards

Wow... I love this idea bro. i hope to see it in the orbit soon.

We will just have to see what DO thinks of it.

 

What u wrote there is.. just..awesome for this game. It's already dead from my point of view, it would be nice if BP would resurrect it.

 

not a bad idea I like most of the designs and except for the bigboy one but the rest are just awesome I hope DO look into it since the game is mostly dead with this it would resurrect it and more people would play just as old times
you got my vote +1

 

No. Would take up a ton of development time and would likely just break the game. A lot of new, unnecessary mechanics added. That vengeance design? Do you even realize how much -50% absorption is? You may as well just run suicide all the time, a fe noob with moth could ruin you in a few secs.

And the spearhead one is pointless, on spot rep works just fine, second ability and moth again reduce shield absorption to 50% at best. Hell no.

Big boy one is still useless as anything more than a debuffer that couldn't keep up

Overall no to everything but the colored skill designs. These ideas are for the most part unrealistic and not well thought it. It may look nice and shiny now but if you actually think about what these do...? no... To keep it to 3 words....

Oversophisticated, underplanned and nonviable. Whew, big words, yay.

 

Thank you for your positive and negatives replies on his/her idea.

I'm not the original author, but I think that this vengeance design isn't for hunting or destroying NPCs, but for collecting Bonus Boxes, where you must collect and flee, your advantage is only your speed.

Okay, an this fictive Spearhead with ufe equipment will five-shot everyone, I will edit it.

Does the Bigboy Design need buffs? Okay, EDIT

 

would take years... some of them would be really nice tho

 

Note: The thread will be re-opened only if the OP requests for it.

Enjoy the game.
