Keep current machines, more machines types, or classes?

I am probably older… and age does not matter, but how you feel, sir…
I am 50 going on 16. XD

The “Bear” would do first a ram assault, followed up by mauling and “breaking ice” (like polar bear).
Well… I would make it like that, but… XD

Hehe…I won that “age combat” …I’m 53 :wink:
Sounds cool with this ramming attack which could be announced with the bear standing on two feets before attack.

NOOOOOOOOOoooooo…
Cheater…

ROFL

Nice to see other mature children around… lmao.

Stand up: yes, ever seen a bear break ice, sir?


It would be followed up by this attack…
A 1.5 machine squashing you…

EDIT: How about a “rhino” type…
It’s purpose would be ammo delivery to other machines.
It would be extremely tankey, fairly slow, but if it rams you… instant death.
Which would be logical seeing the weight.
But it being slower also means fairly easy to dodge.
The machine would only engage when cornered.
Otherwise, it would retreat, and call for backup…

Thoughts?

I’m personally more towards sneaky surprise melee attacks in this game, since there are no such thing currently and I want the scare back :wink:
I’m a big horror fan you see! And a long time death metal fan as well!
So make the game more scary and intense :slight_smile:
But keep those ideas coming @Xogroroth

I like the idea of a cat like stealth assassin that snipes you out of nowhere, and I agree with you that human machines wouldnt fit gz

I am too, sir.
Hence the cat idea.
Here are one or two other ideas, with a picture even I think: New enemy types - Remade

Enjoy, sir.

As I saw it, sir: it would be a machine that’s weak: low armour, low damage.
It’s speed and agility would by far make up for it.
Add for instance it can shoot on the move…
It would be a true mean machine.
Try to hit a fast machine, that’s additionally agile… would be very hard sir.
So, a well-placed shot… it could kill the Cat instantly…
Approximate idea:

Brilliant that would be so cool

Why thank you, sir.
Mind, this one is a wee too futuristic, I know.
A more… prehistoric version (in comparison) might pull the trick here. :slight_smile:

  • At first glance the cat idea sounded ridiculous, but that is because it is ridiculous, now THAT is a Jaguar/Puma style ,a Big Cat, that is not ridiculous, a transformer like Enemy, with a mounted Railgun sniping you from the Forest, sounds cool.
  • A Humanoid enemy (with no Human skin) smaller than a Hunter that follows you indoor sounds very interesting, my opinion is that it fits the game, anyone that finished the game story can understand it does.
  • I know the Reaper is coming, but i still think we need something…more scary, maybe a Big Spider Machine with the double size of a Harvester, serving as an AA and Artillery mobile Machine guarded instead by squads of runners with a Tank always present.
  • For last, either a Ground or Air Carrier Machine Type that replenishes enemy numbers (Hunters and runners) when enough sirens From seekers are heard.

Well that’s me, sir… wacko… XD

It surely can be done, sir.
I fully agree.
But then it will need to be “barebone”.
Not with skin and whatnot as suggested above, sir.
But… that’s me… :slight_smile:

Simple base ideas from New Machine Types topic, sir.

Nice idea, love it!!!

@Xogroroth @Zesiir This is all very interesting, but how are people going to vote when they have so many comments?
Maybe all the conversation should be moved to a clone topic or for the already existent machines remade?

I’d say that’s up to @Xogroroth how he wants this topic handled. As I see it, you vote and then discuss it.
Not sure if there’s an issue, but I’m sure he’ll poke me or @Aesyle if something comes up. Or, use the flag system.

Missing 2 or 4 extra legs :grinning:
Did you made it?
Not the most cute model (looks like a Star Wars Separatist Model) but the AA and Artillery capabilities and the rest are very practical :+1:
Captures well the idea!

I am at work and sketched it up in less than 5 min lol.

I forgot to add, the top part can spin in half and target two players simultaneously.

Correct, great idea, sir!

I often derail my own topics, I fear…
But you know this, good sir… :wink:
Often derailment can bring great things forth… :smiley:

But not this… futuristic… I guess…
