Hey Knowitall66 good to see you around the forums (where ya been/maybe it wuz me).
@Norf: Well spoke, but I guess you were right when you said you were busy and somewhat incommunicado. That's the level of discourse to be found herein (and it somewhat trickles in from the very source which is supposed to preclude it).
Two things:
1) I don't see anywhere where it is specified that the Armoury is a locker of physical weapons. It doesn't open up, you don't step inside, it couldn't possibly hold all of that inside there anyway, etc. No, it is instead, a 3-D printer for producing artifacts on the spot, according to models and plans supplied within. The supply of matter could be some source of raw nanites (coming in thru a pipe in the bottom or sucked in from the air or beamed over from the reactor) which are combined to produce the required item. Remember that we are talking about the year 4025 or something (and that the Marines all look alike which means they're clones or droids or replicants or dopplegangers or alternate reality versions of the same guy). In short, it ain't just a box with guns inside.
2) Overall, if all of these ideas were combined, they might a good Combat-style mod/conversion/add-on pack for more intense battle-action, although of course, the usual "what's wrong with Trem like it is?" and "This will all have to be play-tested for balance" arguments apply. In short, might not be too bad if all rolled into one mod-of-the-mod semi-TC.
Querulous:
the Mod. You realize that we must never speak of it again until you've made it, had it play-tested by volunteers on your own private server, and released a beta.
P.S. Yeah some of them have been mentioned, some are kind of obvious in a "wouldn't it be cool if?" kind of way, and the last thing I will say is here come the people asking "have you thought about how this will affect gameplay/do you mean to introduce some or all of these/do you think we haven't thought of this already?". OK, in and immediately back out while there's still a wave of goodwill and wild creativity left in this thread.
