Requests on new variations?

Post by SecretStamos (Joshuu) » 06 Aug 2016, 16:00

Hi everyone,

I'm adding a handful of new armor sets and masks.

At the moment, we have 4 masks, 1 chestplate, and 2 sets of boots.

I've sprited seven new masks, three new chestplates, and one new set of boots.

Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations of things you'd like to see?


Here's an example.

Thanks!

I would like to request a 'light armour' variant.

For when Preds don't give a shit.

If you've seen the AvP: Extinction game I'd like it if you made some of those armor sets (but darker and gritty) would be great. Spear masters, stalkers, vanguards, blazers, etc... But then that'd imply we're going for a pred-specialization system (???).
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Ohh my! I'm loving the new sprites. Thank you for doing that, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that myself and the rest of the pred base really appreciate it. As for suggestions I agree with Sarah_U, some darker and gritty armour from Extinction would look sick, and be really nice for RP.

Some more tribal/animalistic mask/whatever designs (Like my precious horned mask) would be appreciated

Don't care how, I want it now!

We need some more room allocated for the variations, and maybe options to choose between the current armour or slower, heavier versions. Woohoo!

The one in the bigger image with the visor mask looks kind've out of place, though. Reminds me of Robocop.

Could I request an armour with a shorter, tattered brown cloak, like it's made out of skin? Possibly going around the neck, maybe with a brooch, though it may look better without it.

More Skull/bone made armor maybe?
The..Berzerker I belive it was..mask is pretty much my go to choice,might be interesting seeing simmilar designed armor

And maybe something like the Celtic or "Predator Knight" Sets

Some scratched up, damaged pieces would add a nice aesthetic appeal I feel, in my opinion.

Basic pred armor is light. Low protection, fast movement.

On the topic of the armors, i like them. The variation is one of the reasons why I love cm's spriting. Are they still Elder restricted?

For suggestions, probably like what jones said, more decorations and stuff.

Most likely heavy armor will still be elder restricted, unless we get an equipment slot that lets us get that armor as one of our two choices.

Vanguard armor when? Spend an upgrade slot, unstable black plasma field destroys incoming projectiles you face. Eat ALL the bullets.

Sorry, I won't. I don't consider Extinction fully compatible with our canon. The designs are too far gone from the lore

Well tbh, extinction also considers the entire predator / alien / marine encounter to be a full-blown battle instead of the movies where it's Ripley being sent on a joyful adventure to meet some colonists and make friends.

So I understand why you'd consider the extinction incompatible.

I'd like to see a damaged Helmet, with a scar or noticeable acid damage.

That's what I was saying. I like the idea of a battle scarred equipment.

Wasn't something I considered. But I'll be sure to include an acid-burned and scarred mask if I can do it right.

So heavy armor will become available for non-elders? I'm still somewhat confused about these things still. Perhaps we need one of those equipment guides? ex: viewtopic.php?f=94&t=3126

They are now available as a secondary choice. They function about as you can expect from heavy armor.

There's no way to know other than to try them out, that's what I've been doing anyway.
I'm stressing way too hard about what to put here, so I'm just gonna leave it blank.... or....
