Reworking of the merc system

(1/4) > >>

Ziven:
Multiple tiers of mercs that are available depending on player level:

lvl 1-5 leather jacket mercs with melee/unarmed skill(1k)
lvl 5-10 leather jacket mercs with small gun(5k)/big gun(10k)/ew(7k) skills (each skill is a separate merc)
lvl 10-15 Metal armour mercs with melee/unarmed skill (5k)
lvl 15-21 Metal armour mercs with small gun(10k)/big gun(15k)/ew skills(15k) (each skill is a separate merc)


Mercs come with no weapons just the ability to use a weapon class, you have to equip them yourself. Prices are static but need to be balanced, mine are just an example. An alternative would be to have increased prices that decrease over time like we currently have, but only affected by the player doing the buying.

Expanded ai commands to include "Attack no one" and a "Run to me" hotkey that overrides all other commands.

Mercs that survive while the player dies and have a radio in their inventories set to a channel can be recovered after respawn by sending a message on that radio channel after respawn.

Mercs only equip items they will use in combat (like how metal mercs currently can hold a grenade but will never throw it)

aargh i absolutly don´t like this radio idea.
mercs are hired.
your death means loose everything and all.

vedaras:
i would like such comand like "run to me" but besides that suggestion suck and i find current system much better (not perfect still)

Ziven:
You currently respawn with slaves/mercs anyways and it causes all kinds of problems, as for ved your opinion is worthless.

Michaelh139:
Tbh... This is perfect if you ask me.  It'll make mercs actually worth something to lvl 21 charisma builds because imagine it.  Your not a combat build in the first place and everytime you buy a merc they're the same lowish level that takes forever to get up and even then they are generally no match for a single powerbuild so your fucked.  This would solve such problems and balance out charisma VS powerbuild combat.


So.... agrees 100%.
