have you ever noticed how the Combat armors Have a Radio on there Helmet? Lets make them work! , giving you a extra hand and Needed backup when wearing one! Lets make this Happen!!
-
Or lets make Combat Armor on Radio station ! Wohooo 8)
-
Oh yeah thats nice all Combat look like armors should have radios built-in
-
That makes a lot of sense. I'd also be for making all kinds of Power Armor radio-capable.
-

Thats news to me. The only thing I can see on the inventory image is a lamp kind of thing.
-
No, I think he's right, we can see the microphone going near the mouth :

Or it's a lamp. Maybe. =D
-
It is a lamp. If it would be a microphone, it's attached too high.

Oh, ok I see. I checked the Vault, it's a lamp.
-
That was a shitty sketch lol, Its a Damn Radio :P
-
idea with CA+radio is nice but got question why just devs dont make "headsets" to radios we have now?
idea is not new so why dont do it as update in craft ? U not need change any anims only description and shit. In that way al u need to use it is set it and put back to inventory.
-
Like a new item : CA with a radio headset ?
-
i was talkin about updates to normal radios but new things to craft like CA+radio or CA+night vision gogles or with both is also sweet idea its like Assault CA or somthing
-
Hell, make all armors higher than the leather jacket have the option to install a radio. They could just be like the radios the police use that are attached to their clothes. And it would give a use to all the radios sitting around the wasteland.
-
It wouldn't really give them a use, but it can improve the way they are used.
-
I doubt the Fallout world has managed to miniaturize radios into headsets, but adding "This one has a pocket to hold a radio in for easy access" to the description of modded armours would be enough.
Is it possible to make radios have a selectable frequency when stored in the backpack?
-
The Reason i Selected Combat armor for this, cause it looks like it has a Headset on it for one, and for two its got a helmet...built in radios are real guys lol, if armor goes below 50% then radio quits working, idk vote what u want i just think a lot of people would like having A Spare hand when solo hunting like i do in my CA.

hehehehehe got question what is more difficoult to make a plasma pistol or simple headset FOR radio? btw look on normal wiki when this kind of thing first apper 8)
wiki say:
"The first-ever headset was invented in 1910, by a Stanford University student named Nathaniel Baldwin. However, Baldwin's design was ahead of his time, as he wasn't able to interest anyone in mass producing this innovative communication tool. Not until during the World War I did the US Army purchase 100 headsets for their pilots. Hence the early usage and markets for headsets were mainly for aviation purposes. In fact, Plantronics was started by two pilots, and their main goals were to develop headsets which are lightweight and comfortable for pilots and subsequently general users"
kinky shit huh?
but adding "This one has a pocket to hold a radio in for easy access" to the description of modded armours would be enough.

jup nice idea just add radio selectin frequency gizmo to armors that all
back to topic "CA+radio" yea i also think CA choice is good as simplest and easiest to make. And Skejwen this is fallout not "Book of Eli" and if u will get one i want one too :P

The Fallout world never developed microchips and stuff like that and since I'm no consumer electronics person, I have no idea what's needed to make a headset. What I know is that a radio which in our times can be made into a matchbox takes up ten times the volume.
It's a game with game logic.
Good idea for radios nonetheless. If the devs find it good.
-
I just hope everyone will vote with common sense, I tough it would be a good idea to share with everyone, and i hope it happens :D
-

BS
Whats with the electronic parts from Vault15?
Plasma, Laser Technologie, Cyperdogs, Star Trek Phasers, Vertibirds, all those computer terminals.
You should play fallout 1+2 some times
-
It's all Fallout 2 crap and we know that Fallout 2 took some things far too far.
-
Can't we have radios in our pip boys? I mean if we even have pip boys.
-
how much longer should i let everyone Vote? hmm
-
2 more days and im going to lock voting, everyone submit soon!
-
Radios are REALLY rare items, we know. So we will must have CAs with headset ...
Or APA with headset ? Hm ?
-
Voting locked, it up to you Dev's !

other thing is with all that macgyver's who can make lasers,plasma and other things with junk, metal parts and wood runing on wasteland its kinda silly thinking that no one invent it yet :P
-
Close this topic and move it to closed suggestion.
Reason: There is no radio in the picture.
-
Shut up Frozen Mind! Your are the worst Master Troll in 2238 irc channel! If Devs are writing that it's not possible then they're right! Don't spam here!
-
well, a radio on a combat armour would be a neat addition, but i guess if it can't be done then it can't be done...

I think that adding radio to CA is impossible because on the picture there is not radio but a lamp. If there will be a radio on picture, then it will be easy to implement it to game engine.
Thats the main problem.
So let some skilled picture artist remove that damn lamp and make new picture with a radio atached to CA, please!
I am not skilled artist but I'd like to show my proposition:

Im sorry guys, but this picture proves that only mutants might have radios.
-
This CA's picture is from Fallout D20 if I'm not mistaking, so it isn't confirmed by canon sources.
-
ever seen a "crystal set" radio? no frequency selection and very queit, background radiation would decay signal, but can be made as basic headset, possibly make as a crude in inventory radio out of junk and mineral, short range, and can only hear, not transmit. but hears all signals at once, balances itself with crackly signal and lots of conflicting signals.
-
NVM
If there is a radiation in Wasteland it is impossible to use a radio in such enviroment. I think that radio is useless! Let remove it from game, because it is not real that we can use radio in radiation environment!
-
or you could quit speaking such shit and let the devs decide whether or not to allow the ca to have a radio, it is fallout, not real life:the game (now with extra nudity)...
-
radiation presents as background fuzz on radio signal, doesn't cut it out, radio transmission would have to be loud in order to get across, also use of word for letter codes "alpha, beta, charlie, delta" sorta stuff would be necessary
-
Unlocked, until its Decided weather to add a radio into the combat armor or not, Make 2238 Happy!
-
Kinda like this? (http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/8092/combatarmor.jpg)
-
C'mon guys lets keep Voteing!
-
Wipe is soon, Let this be implemented before wipe is here! we can do it 2238!
-
I totally agree with such an idea. The radios began to be interesting since the distress call has been made. Let's go ahead and make them even better. Now that we see separate helmets available after the wipe, it's easy to think about radios helmets or customized CA helmets. And of course, we immediately think about night-vision stuff and so on. Many possibilities and diversity for players. Devs liked distress call so much that they developed it really fast. I hope they will follow for this idea too :)
-
Cool. An internal radio that can be 'crafted into' an armor. Not bad.
Now with helmet slot we could have i.e. be able to craft a radio headset from radio and some other parts (simply a radio that could be used on the head slot instead of a hand slot). Then this radio could be attached to certain helmets or 'crafted into them' as an integral part or a removable addition.

Yeah, easy, Amrored profession level N (depends by helm type, I think there will be more than just combat/PA), Combar Armor Helm (or any other helm, that will exist) + Radio + Junk/Metal Parts = the same helm but also working like radio.
-
I ment just crafted into the armor :P , combat armors should have radios, because they have a helmet, pa and apa could too i guess idk im going to go to sleep im drunk, keep voting guys!
-
So what have we decided? Everyone thinks this is a good idea, or at least most of everyone! Helmets will have to be creatable now anyways :P
-
Vote Vote Vote guys! , just think with a radio in your helm *bam* *bam* ur shooting, take cover and request for help :P
-
You sure are impatient, Nightkin ;]
This game would really benefit if it had more not typically combat items, like radio headsets, rad counters, motion scanners etc. Fallout was always jam-packed with tons of non-combat (more, less, or none-at-all useful) items, which was a part of creating the atmosphere too.
Think of how a motion scanner would be useful in caves (as long as you're not able to easily cut through anything and everything that could stand in your way)
-
Yeah, not many players look for non combat shits, yeah in caves it would be nice to have :D
-
So is this going to happen or what? :D
-
lets dooo it Vote vote guys!
-
Imho pipboy should be upgradeable through quests and high science/repair skill so you could have radio within pipboy, same goes for keys (how hard it could be to hide key in some electronic gadget like pipboy?) etc. But I like the idea of armor upgrades too so its definitely YES.
-
Already said but I say again : love that idea.
-
Can this be at least moved to closed ? with a yes or a no please, most of 2238 loves the idea :D
-
I feel like this has a good chance of happening, but not until we get 3d models with separate helmet and armor.
-
Sence Wipe is soon, maybe they will implement this?

Nothing new is going to be implemented before the next update. Don't get your hopes up.
As for the suggestion, I don't really care if it is cannon or not, it seems like a good idea, as radios are a stupid feature that shouldn't take up a whole Slot to use, except for distressing, anyway.
Though, I think that radios themselves need to be re-worked, not just apply any changes to a couple kinds of armor.
-

I love radios :P they are great for RPing... even though it would be good, if they will be reworked...
-
Well, yes, by re-working I'm saying make it so it doesn't give a disadvantage toward people who don't have a outside-of-game chatting program, and the easiest way to do that, I think, is to just make it so you can set the radio without having to make it be in your Active or Secondary item slot.

This. Besides, I've always wondered if IRC and others should be considered cheating... I mean, you kill a guy, he is 24 different pieces, yet he is still able to call in 40 of his fucking PB friends to get revenge because of it....
-
the problem is ca is too expensive and too weak at the same time, just a bit better than ma mk2 and still u can be crit. hit in eyes and killed in a sec, after the wipe please try balance armors as well, if crafting something takes a few hours it supposed to give some protection ... or maybe 3d era with helmets and all that stuff will solve it out ...
i mean u cannot balance weapons without thinking about armors and drugs at the same time, a couple experienced pvp players from each faction could think about balancing everything if u give 'em a tool and cahcne to do it
-
im just saying when you put a radio into your hand, the little box to type in the freq opens up too, it cant be too hard to set it to where a different item "Combat armors" would still show that box?
-
Its not too late to want Radios Built in! -Wipe is soon now.... or atleast we hope.
-
We are in feature-freeze. Nothing new gets added, if it isn't super important.
-
Instead of radio, i think it would be more important to make something REALLY visible useful. As we can all see (check the model yourself if you want, and check The Vault) Combat Armors have backpacks included. Technically they could offer more space to store items, actually increasing carry weight. Even if i must admit that having a build-in radio might be the first step to "armor addons" maybe, just like speed load for revolver and extented magazine.
-

This makes me happy, and also means progress!
-
Success! ;)

Success! ;)
Hurray! :D
Now someone close this thread...
-
I've read whole thread once again and honestly... I lol'd. Especially about "canon reasons" for not implementing it back in 2010.

Headsets are actually canon.
While you are one the oil rig in F2 you can see an enclave soldier saying:"Ok who is chewing gum in the headset again!" or something like that.
-
I suggested radios for LAMKII and they added for CAMKII instead, it would be just fine if only we could actually distress with the helmet.
-
That's a bug. Fill a ticket on the bug tracker and I am sure a scripter will fix it.

I'd rather create a thread in bug section.
Since that's no longer the case I just PM devs in IRC whenever I find bugs.

well, then chances are high, that it gets forgotten.
