Power Armor
« on: May 20, 2012, 10:25:16 pm »

I was thinking of a way to craft PA. (came up with this idea when i saw the kindengarten toys)
First you need armorer 2 .
2. PA BPs : can be bought from BoS for 8k.
3. Synthotic motivatior : also bought from BoS for 5k
4. Power armor parts : found on the third floor of the Lost Hills bunker (they will cost either 10k in caps or all of your faction points)
5.200% reapir
6.supertool kit + tool/s + deans electronics book
and now crafting requirements:
2x Good Metal Parts,2x metal parts,2x electronic parts and PA parts.
Crafted on Advanced Workbench
Before a player could wear 1 he would need power armor training .


Please don't give me a : no way u morun nO0b no PA for u!1!
Just give me your honest opinion .
Thank you,

Well i wanted it to be possible but not too easy for those big factions to farm.

And last but not least every player can only craft 2 power armors.
What? You want not only AltForPA, but AltForPA01, AltForPA02?

Dont you get it ? There are couple of good PA suggestions ALREADY, but if devs dont want them ingame, you better give your attention to something else.

The blue-print is not extremely interesting, nor is this kind of farm.
I think you should really get it for something that does not happen often or does not happen at all.
Let's say it'd be better if this happened in a location (something like Supermutant outpost, or reuse MMB) with a chance to be found after dealing with scaled fight (Fight that always make sure is hard no matter how many buds you bring with you). Perhaps the location could be private if there's a way to balance alt collecting.
Before a player could wear 1 he would need power armor training .
What? Ok not everyone can tie a tie :d, but this just sounds ridiculous.

I think you should only be able craft PA in Navarro, Lost Hills, or San Fran. It's not even so much about the player having a high repair skill; it's about having the industrial base and being able to hire specialists who can do the machine tooling, the miniature nuclear reactor creation, the special alloying--it requires an assembly line backed by resources and financing.

Now for servicing a damaged suit of PA, an individual with a high repair skill could probably do this at a wider range of places (any abandoned military base), or perhaps by using a field repair kit.

For parts make it like base construction; you can either "Rush Buy" the PA for some large bottlecap amount or you can just pay for the assembly line and scavenge for motivators / parts from wrecked suits. None of this dismantle crap either, just have parts randomly spawn from PvP corpses, or just have dead soldiers in base quests / random encounters which date from the "civil disturbance" era.

I'm thinking a 25k BIN and 10k for DIY would be reasonable for a piece of basic PA (not Advanced). And to anticipate the argument that one person will farm this or abuse this horrible condition of PA being available, I say to that statement "Take your head out of the sand!" Start thinking of the average user and how PA is a big reason for playing Fallout in the first place. At any given moment I can get killed by a single shot from a medium-tier weapon, but all the things that worked in the original game-balancing like AC + decent DR/DT have been removed or made inaccessible for no logical reason.

Seriously, think how childish it is to play keep away with PA, never mind that the pleasantness or suckiness of any particular game mechanic is an objective truth that will be proven when players decide to stick with, or conversely, turn away from FOnline. Last I checked Power Armor was still appearing on the title screen; and maybe I'm wrong but that tells me PA is an essential part of the Fallout experience, a far cry from being something that is "too much to ask for." This isn't a groundless dissatisfaction, but a core ennui that every player can detect and then list as a black mark against FOnline.

And the point of that was?.....

Also, Power Armor craftable is a good idea, but not everyone will have the caps, only big factions like SoT
or whoever does Town Control because they are the only one with caps.
Unless someone farms and sells spears or pelts but that will take forever.

 But isn't the only way to go in Lost hill bunkers by being a BoS member?
