Base has been put out of commission, Task Force Event

[dapper harbor]

If your base gets too much trolled let admins spawn a shuttle with 5 ghost roles, for TSF its the already existing MARSOC, for PDV its DCOM.

Currently working on a PDV Special Forces named that I named DCOM standing for Dynasty Commandos.

When they are merged (if at all) we can start working on the shuttles and then finally a system to implement their spawn into the game.

(Overall pretty much basically a small full cloak shuttle that has 5 ghost roles and some extra ammo and gear inside itself that admins can spawn in)

[dapper harbor]

current progress on this

yes i will fix the medic to get a medhud and they will have Anacondas instead of EG-4s

and will give them proper ID cards

[dapper harbor]

progress update

this is a short video comparing DCOM and MARSOC with each other

[indigo coral]

They probably should have a emergency survival kit so you don't have to spawn their essentials
(Mini crowbar emergency oxygen tank and the emergency pens)
Somewhere else on their person

[dapper harbor]

Overall, no other ghost role i know of uses emergency survival boxes

but they still got emergency pens in their medkits, oxygen tanks and their crowbars, yeah

the only thing they are really missing out are flares and MREs

which we can give to them in their ships

My main idea is that DCOM and MARSOC Special Forces will have special stealth shuttles.

They will feature :

• A gunnery server with very minimal processing power; Current power limit is 12/15/18 in mind.
• A shield generator that is only one third of an MS-100 strong and has no outline on the radar, so a shield, but weak and doesn't give off a radar outline, outing you.
• An overall thermal signature profile of about 300 meters while also having a cloak system.

The main idea is that these guys will be able to reliably board any ship and have the ability to reactivate their bases.

For the armanent of their dropships will likely be limited to PD and EMP weaponry to incentize boarding over ship-to-ship combat while fleeing from enemies that have been alerted by their presence owing to their low thermal signature and cloak.

While this is strong on paper, these are meant to punish you for punily disabling the enemy faction from the game for the remaining hours of the round.

Bump and any more ideasguy injection into this post would be cool thanks

[indigo coral]

A cool item for them to get would be like a better grappling hook reaches way further
And also pulls you in way faster

[dapper harbor]

that sounds like just a reskin + minor yml tweaks

or so i hope

main thing that makes grappling hooks hard to use is

their IMMENSE waiting time when you first equip them

and you will always have a mass scanner in second hand

so you always gotta wait that 2-3 seconds after you swap hands

we could just give the commando helmets that inbuilt mass scanner view

so they dont have to lose that swap hands shoot delay

and a hook that is about 3 to 5 times better

i will do that shit in my next yaml session

[upper cloak]

massive QoL

not even in anything else that isnt a borg

[dapper harbor]

yeah using grappling without a built in helmet scanner is buns

too hard

you need to calculate the flight speed if the ship you're trying to board

cause that thing is not standing still for you

your hook range, projectile travel time, the swap hands delay

[upper cloak]

give it to MARSOC too, and maybe later create a mass scanner function for the late tier faction suits

[dapper harbor]

i could make the SF grappling hook like

what they got in star wars

ok thats too much work

but ill keep that option in mind

where they have the hooks underbarreled

for now ill stick to an uberbuffed and reskinned grappling hook that travels VERY QUICKLY

[dapper harbor]

pretty close to

publishing the PR

final bump

Technician will be recieving a self ammo replicating HE Burner to match the TSFMC MARSOC Marksman's 45% AP Sniper Rifle

other than that

every MARSOC and SC Suit now comes with a built in mass scanner and their handheld mass scanners in their loadouts are swapped with grappling hooks

Marsoc specific helmet variants for the M86

40% opaque helmet plating so some of your face is shown

instead of NVGs both teams get permanent toggleable thermals

that act as nvg + thermals

NVG colors, 1 is marsoc, second is SC medic third of SC

ik we dont do colored NVGs anymore but if you want the fragmaster role buckle up for the ride

new role icons for Autorifleman and Technician

showcase of what you can do with built in mass scanner + your loadout grappling hook

Taking name suggestions for the Technician's Special Burner

[upper cloak]

the horror

and i thought having an AP-incin regenrating version for my company would be scary enough

[dapper harbor]

user is having a happy time trying to sprite for that

i lowkey want to keep this fire sound effect

@upper cloak also thought of making a specific grappling hook caliber that can fit into rifles but has no magazine version

but stracthed that

because i was too lazy

who was gonna carry grappling hook cartridges anyway

and no way to despawn them after you fire them cause Z key bolts your rifle not despawns your hook
