Pip boy 2000 - a post-apocalyptic cellhpone!

(1/3) > >>

Haraldx:
My idea is to make pip boy a multifunctional cellphone! You can get upgrades for your pip boy to ensure better communication and other stuff. You can craft or buy different pip boy accessories if you have the right stats and materials. It requires 40% repair to put in/take out a part for the pip boy.



Upgrades- you must craft or buy these stuff.
Bluerad
A copy of Bluetooth, used to send files between pip boy 2000 cellphones. When it is active, battery is used up faster.

Camera add-on
A camera... Allows you to take pictures and browse them in your pip-boy! The pictures took with the camera add-on can be sent to other wastelanders using Bluerad. 1 photo takes 3 slots on your memory unit. Using the camera you lose 30 energy per 1 photo.

Text editor
Allows you to edit Holodisks and write your own text and save them on your memory unit. A text document can have a maximum of 200 characters. A text document with 1-100 characters takes 1 slot of your memory unit, but a text document with 101-200 characters takes 2 slots of your memory unit.

Bonus memory unit
Adds 30-50 memory slots. There can only be a total of 2 bonus memory units.

Upgraded battery
Adds 1000 more energy to your pip boy. Acts the same like the stock one.

Upgraded sun charger (Works only at day)
Charges your pip boy faster than the stock version.

Microphone and dialer
Allows you to call to other pip boy 2000's. Eats up your battery faster when talking with someone.



Stock equipment - every pip boy 2000 comes with this.
Flashlight (Works only at evening and night)
Increases the hit % to anything and anyone in the area of flashlight + makes the players light radius bigger. When active, it takes 5 energy every 3 seconds.

Pip boy 2000 serial code
Serial code of your pip boy. Other people need your serial code to send messages to you.

Stock baterry
A simple battery. Holds up to 500 energy. Can be recharged using any sun charger or by using small energy cells for emergencies. If battery goes into a negative - the battery must be recharged using small energy cells. You can also turn off your pip boy, but then you can't even look at your Cooldowns.

Stock sun charger (Works only at day)
Slow, but charges to the max in half hour (game time) if nothing is active.

Message coordinator
Allows you to send short messages (50 characters) to other pip boys. The player can also be offline and he will receive your message when he logs in, even if you aren't. Each message eats energy based on this formula, 50 + (How many characters you wrote) = X.

Haterade:
hell no, this aint somekind of scifi simulator!

Graf:
Hah, nice idea. If someone will ever make it (and put it on public access), I would be grateful.

runboy93:
I just think about message system with other players/friends.
Radio will do same thing, but sometimes you just dont have radio with you :D

So for example:

Information
------------------------------------------------------------------
sender: default (who send. you)
receiver: empty (who receive you message)
ID: random number (don't know is this needed)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Message

...There you can write anything...

Oh, and btw. Radio would still be better than using the pip boy, some reasons:
1. Radio doesn't have battery, while talking on pip boy, you can end up without battery at the middle of a talk.
2. Radio allows you to talk with multiple people at the same time.
3. Radio is much easier to find than to craft the microphone add-on for pip boy.
4. The other guy who you are talking to must have a microphone add-on for his pip boy too, and he can run out of battery too.
