New alien/human idea? Come in here!

[Man of Tacos]

Hello I thought because I see a lot of people making forums of their NEW idea. Why not just have them posted here. So feel free to just give us anything. Even if its just a giant Dog that shoots lasers out of his butt. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

[Man of Tacos]

My idea is for a new alien class. Don't have got a name for it though... Anyway how about a alien that becomes invisible. It will be as big as granger and low health. Maybe 75 hp. It won't be able to attack while invisible. its completely invisible when still. When moves It will show a distortion.

I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE NUDE MONSTERS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE FUNNY LOLOLMAOROFL!!!!

how bout some sort of... actual sheild the humans can hold to block adv dragoon snipes and the adv granger projectiles.

[Winnie the Pooh]

Stop and think of the consequences of a shield.

Two words: Shield Spam.

People would run around wherever they pleased holding down the shield button at the nearest sign of trouble.

Think of it from the alien's point of view. Wouldn't it be irritating to be a tyrant trying to scratch at some noob human who is shield-spamming?

DODGING. TRY IT.

It's not that hard. Hey, if you look at the controls, you'll see that you have ACTUAL STRAFING BUTTONS! IT'S REVOLUTIONARY! IT'S AMAZING! IT'S COMPLETELY REDUNDANT!

So please, dodge their attacks. If you are not attentive enough to notice that your base is being sniped out by a goon and/or are too slow/clumsy to chase it away, you more than likely deserve what's coming to you.

[Man of Tacos]

I don't but the shield can work. What if the player with the shield can't or shoot while its up. Plus on top of that it could be a energy shield that uses power like ammo.

[Winnie the Pooh]

What were you planning on giving the aliens to counter it?

The mods aren't active any more.

... erm make it out of wood? so that snipes disolve it and they can maybe bite through it. also if your bitten from behind or grabbed by a basi i think you should drop the sheild.

[Baconizer]

Grangers should fly, obviously. 

On a serious note, perhaps a better barricade. Something more like a traditional RTS drag-for-a-while wall.

Perhaps the barricade would have little HP (maybe 20) by itself, and have more for each additional barricade that was added to a wall.

Of course, it would have to be a lot cheaper than it is now.

... erm make it out of wood? so that snipes disolve it and they can maybe bite through it.

So, you want a shield to block low-damage Advanced Granger projectiles and Advanced Dragoon projectiles.

You also want the Advanced Dragoon to dissolve it with their projectiles.

And it's a wooden shield. In the future, along with pulse rifles.

You're brilliant! Some one give this man a medal, quickly!

[your face]

[bacon665]

if you was to take the apocolyptic future stance and they made it out of scrap metal it would have holes and such so it would lessen the damage of projectiles. and maybe it should have like 20 hp so the aliens can break it... that was my point of it being wood was the aliens could bit at it till it broke.

[Vert90]

The Shield should have HP, Like 50 on stage1 75 on stage 2 and 100 on stage 3

Also,there should be weak points ex: bite out human brain
shoot out granger heart etc.

eggs & telenodes should be free until you build 5 of them.
Overmind & Reactor should hav less HP.

Also,
SUPER GRANGER!!!

He can not only climb walls, but he can fly(2 evos)

And...HUMAN SUCTION PADS! you can wallwalk with them! (150 creds)

TY for reading

ohhhhhhhhh dear.

Also, @human weakpoints, that's called a headshot.


Try bookmarking this thread and not looking at it until three years later if you want some laughs.

[bacon665]

LOL.
but no seriously a stage three flying gassing adv basi would be kinda cool.
Reminds me of that song about the purple cannibal bird

I hope you guys realise that the idea of a flying alien has been suggested so many times but never actually been implemented

I hope you guys realise that the idea of a flying alien has been suggested so many times but never actually been implemented

Look at Risujin's balance mod with Redsky's vandal.

I thought that project never really finished I seem to be behind the times 

[Vert90]

Fine,no super Grangers..

im using it (Slightly modded up) for NomX, so you'll see it there when im done with it....



also this is another "what if" thread....


and new forums arent created for ideas, they are created for well thought out projects with a purpose and developers to actually finish them and implement the (usually) great idea into tremulous


and most tremulous ideas that come from people are " i want a weapon that does some cool eeffect (or quotes videeo game weapon etc...)
frankly, what sthe point in that? the weapons in trem are what make trem.



so NomX was created because we wanted to add onto the gameplay with healing units/weapons and then add a extra weapon on top of the tech, turning a regular trem game into a all out faced-paced battle. it isnt being made because " i l1ke AU,to shotgunnn, l ets p ut it in trem!!1!!1111one"




so try to create a whole concept that makes sense and isnt so four out that it cant be done and maybe you can get somewhere with it.


hope this helps you out,

man of tacos: maybe a small energy based shield + the ability to lay flat on the ground = win
down side of this: make the shield explode if zapped, and make getting back up from the ground take a second.

[Vert90]

And there should be an invisibility that costs 700 for humans and 3 evos for aliens.

[bacon665]

Invisibility has been added on a couple servers already.
Problem is you still show up on the alien radar and human structures can still fire at aliens
(watch your turret aim and fire the luci lol)

Do you have an idea of wich servs?I would like to try that 

[bacon665]

server A.
Type !rtd and you can win invisibility temporarily among many other things.
also theres an arcade mod with tokens i dont know which server had it but i do beleive it also has invisi

[Vert90]

Ty Bacon,

oh and humans should have like a way to poison their bullets that would be helpful, cuz goons are always running away and it could kill them if they noobing with low HP.

[bacon665]

Your welcome.

I noticed when the OM is down even though the acid tubes dont pump acid they still slow you down. Is it supposed to be like that?

[Vert90]

And humans should be taller so they dont go under steps where they're unreachable by anything but dretch.

Actually not a bad idea... perhaps an item{POISON SACK ANYONE?!?!) that can be purchased to work along side mechanical weapons (like the battery pack and energy weapons).
Then again there's balance issues. I spose poison could hit like 1hp once every 1.9 seconds for say 15 seconds just to stop aliens healing?
