We've made a document full of suggestions for AED, this included duties, events, loadout, combatics.

See pictures below, but DM me if you want to view the full document.

thx

silk basin
#

cool

#

except where

#

oh ok

pliant elbow
#

im doing it

silk basin
#

however i think this is useless

faint rose
#

Can you not post the link?

silk basin
#

its a division thats still wip so theres no telling whats in this document that hasnt already been confirmed or denied

faint rose

Fair

#

To be fair, spitballing ideas (even if they are or are not confirmed) is still a good thing to do

pliant elbow
#

Exactly

opal pawn
pliant elbow
#

Same with Chairman

silk basin
#

yes. still not out yet, so its being worked on

opal pawn
#

yes, that's what the suggestions are for

silk basin
#

ok

pliant elbow
#

I think the resource updates are probably the first steps of AED's release

silk basin
#

ayo

Bro seriously wants to he leader of a division lol

#

But yes good idea

terse whale
#

nah but

#

have fun getting it added

#

😩

#

@pliant elbow i also think another good suggestion, AED would have to repair the vent on chairman tower, is raiders open it.

If it isn’t repaired the vent stays open until repaired

pliant elbow
#

I didn't write it down, but it sounds much more logical now

#

I'm guessing it's currently something like a 2 minute timer?

I can't give reactions because you deleted the original message

#

I think an L3 keycard would be appropriate

#

for tower access and easy traversal of the facility

#

L2 is restrictive

#

L4 is a bit overkill unless its a modified L4 (kinda like ARD L4 that's heavily nerfed)

#

L3 seems like the sweetspot

opal pawn
#

agreed

#

no reason for l4, they have no need for tower

broken bone
#

Tower is L3

#

tower isnt required

#

but tower lets them quickly drop to warehouse

#

which is a godsend when youre fighting a raid

pliant elbow
#

And L-2 lets you go tower through engineering

broken bone
#

yeah but it ONLY lets you do that

#

thats why i said its kinda restrictive since it reduces paths

#

and L4 is overkill

#

so L3

pliant elbow
#

I think something like ARD
minus the labs
and change the ARD access to AED access

broken bone
#

Or like

#

make a common card for

#

Scientific and engineering personnel

#

and make the lab equipment run by

#

some other system

#

like grouplocking to ARD + wasteland

pliant elbow
#

I think custom AED keycard is fine

broken bone
#

worls

pliant elbow
broken bone
#

mm

#

I want tower added to it

#

and it changed to say L

#

3

#

because

#

believe it or not

#

3>2

pliant elbow
#

And if AED are doing stuff with reactor, then they should get reactor access

broken bone
#

and therefore its just

#

better

#

reactor will most likely stay with ARD

pliant elbow
#

Yeah, since AED is to do with the site, L3 at least

broken bone
#

but there will be

pliant elbow
broken bone
#

like

#

significant overlap

#

in engg district and reactor areas

#

Labs... not really

#

tbh irl

#

when scientists design an experiment

#

its the engineers who actually build it

#

then let the scientists do their research on it

#

or its a collab

#

scientists rarely go solo

#

like, CERN was designed by some brilliant scientists

pliant elbow
#

I agree, but I don't think AED should/will have duties with experiments

broken bone
#

i dont expect it

#

i was pointing it out but yeah

#

experiments and research should be ARD exclusive

pliant elbow
#

Yep

broken bone
#

thats their thing

pliant elbow
#

AED should just be a custom card with L3 stuff and their needed areas

broken bone
#

mayyyybe we could have a thing where we can assist clearing raiders in labs

#

if they request it

#

but thats it

#

and that can be done by UOC later

#

it doesnt need to be developed it can be added to guidelines

pliant elbow
#

that's more a combative division thing

broken bone
#

SC does it too

#

so like

#

meh

#

idrm either way

pliant elbow
#

SC does duties in labs anyways

broken bone
#

meh

#

L3

#

Tower

#

engg dist

#

oh and

#

I believe

#

volcano was going to be an AED + ARD thing

#

where if they fucked up

#

the map goes kablooie

pliant elbow
#

I agree with the keycard things you just said

broken bone
#

that was the original plan anyway

pliant elbow
#

and I think the volcano needs more attention

broken bone
#

volcano was abandoned bro

#

😢

#

its just sitting there

pliant elbow
#

research or harnessing the power of the volcano could be done

broken bone
#

so much potential

pliant elbow
#

exactly

broken bone
#

yeah the uhm

#

the pipes right

#

so in the lore department

#

we asked about it

#

and the canon lore is

#

that the entire wasteland and border

#

is inside a crater

#

the current volcano is smaller

#

and the rest is solidified

#

ARD and AED installed a cooling system

#

in the volcano

#

to keep it calm

#

and they must maintain it

#

or it might erupt

pliant elbow
#

Volcano management would be very cool for ARD/AED

broken bone
#

mhm

#

if you look at the volcano rn

#

theres pipes going to the overlook

pliant elbow
#

research and experiments involving volcano could be done by ARD

broken bone
#

and going out

#

they were meant for that gameplay

#

but it never happened

pliant elbow
#

you think the volcano should be radiable, as some kind of secondary meltdown?

#

or maybe a regional meltdown

broken bone
#

according to a dev question that was the original intent of the chairman

#

he just never finished implementing it

pliant elbow
#

sad

broken bone
#

and no it was gonna be like

#

a full on

pliant elbow
#

it should be picked up on

broken bone
#

fucking

#

eruption

#

it would actually make blackouts dangerous

#

since

pliant elbow
#

cool, but it should be different to meltdown

broken bone
#

if the cooling system stays powered off

#

for too long

#

😱

pliant elbow
#

sounds good

#

blackouts are just a visual thing

#

i mean, no shield

broken bone
#

for now

#

but yeah this could make them more important

pliant elbow
#

exactly

broken bone
#

AED is also going to get diesel gens iirc

#

where we can do backup power

#

but even then

#

it shouldnt supplement reactor

#

instead

#

it should slow down the eruption until the reactor gets turned back on

pliant elbow
#

in that case, it shouldn't be raidable

#

if raiders want an eruption, they should make the site go into blackout and cut off fedorite supplies until the volcano cooling dies

#

instead of camping volcano coolants or something like that - similar to reactor

broken bone
#

Yea mhm basically blackout until the rumbling gets goin

#

VTOL might factor into that though

#

It makes it relatively easy to get ore now

#

So they’ll prob need to camp inside

broken bone
#

Maybe a “primary loop” that’s always on and “secondary loops” that can be turned on to cool it faster but drain more fuel.

pliant elbow
broken bone
#

And the raiders can camp controls and keep secondary loops off

#

Yeah originally it was gonna be like

#

A half hour long or sumn

#

Proper event

#

Not just pop and back to normal

#

Like meltdown

pliant elbow
#

yeah

#

and i think meltdown should have more effects for the after

#

which is what i wrote in the document

pliant elbow
#

and if volcano eruptions become a thing, it shouldn't be an easy thing or a little thing

#

and it should be worth it, else raiders will just want to meltdown instead

AED Proposals (pinned)

south bane
#

Ya sure add it to the game

#

Good suggestion why not

pliant elbow
opal pawn
#

dang this is pretty cool

#

maybe not the gun attachments

#

because pretty sure scopes have been said they wont be a thing

#

or just gun attachments in general

#

but everything is good

#

thank ya

#

all g :)

#

also I like the sound of the chernoybyl liquidator hazard suit idea

coral sun
#

how would AED patrols be like

pliant elbow
#

If so, an AED would go out into the wasteland to extract resources for the site and come back with them

#

They could organise a team with combative divisions and other AED

broken bone
#

ARD already does this

#

I dont see why it needs to be that different

#

run out

#

get shit

#

run back

#

Interms of patrols

#

They could be organised later

#

The thing is, not even ARD had patrols until like, there was a reason for them to go out regularly (ore runs)

#

If AED has proper wasteland gameplay (maybe something related to the radio tower and stopping the PKSF virus 👀 then yeah patrols.

#

Otherwise, there’s no reason for them to go out. They’ll be kind of like SC with a bit more freedom

pliant elbow
#

PKSF Virus should be ARD thing as in lore they are PKSF crestors

broken bone
#

Yeahhhh

#

Welll then again

#

ARD made dews

#

But AED can still try to modify them

#

ARD made reactor but AED still maintains coolant and stuff

pliant elbow
broken bone
#

Well

#

Interns of resources

pliant elbow
#

Because its likely they would be an AED thing

broken bone
#

That depends on what the chairman think- wait

#

Wait

#

So

#

There was this thing about generators

pliant elbow
broken bone
#

Backup gens that AED runs

#

This was a thing

#

I’m pretty sure chairman was included in that convo as well

#

AED gettin resources to run the gens?

#

Should be a decent reason to head out

pliant elbow
#

Yeah

broken bone
#

And how about

#

If we want some spicy gameplay

pliant elbow
#

AED getting resources to craft armour plates

broken bone
#

AED needs to extract oil from the ground

#

They do it using these

#

Portable wells

#

They drop the well

#

It deploys

pliant elbow
#

Idk if oil is a DoD thing

broken bone
#

Extracts oil

#

And then you need to run back

#

It can be I don’t see why not

#

The lore could be that

pliant elbow
broken bone
#

permanent wells were at risk of getting pillaged

#

So AED and ARD developed portable systems

#

You’ll need to go out

#

Setup the well

#

Guard it while it sucks the oil

#

And then get everything back

pliant elbow
#

I like the sound of that, but I still don't think oil is a DoD thing

broken bone
#

Coal? The issue with coal is

#

Well

pliant elbow
#

I think it became useless when fedorite was found

broken bone
#

Backups are never useless though

#

This oil is specifically to fuel the backup generators

#

Incase the reactor fails

#

OOOOH this could be a meltdown side effect

#

The reactor is out of commission for X minutes or sumn

pliant elbow
#

Yes, but Im sure DoD isn't in an oil rich area

broken bone
#

DoD is a game where you literally mine diamonds at surface level with a pickaxe

#

It’s fine

opal pawn
#

lol

fathom schooner
#

i mean

#

idk the lore but

#

there was a war literally name

#

the recourse war

#

so idk i wouldnt expect oil to be lying around

pliant elbow
fathom schooner
#

its in uk

pliant elbow
#

i dont think uk is full of oil

faint rose
#

It’s probably alright, we can just say the volcano brought it up from deep underground as it seeped back into the ground from mini eruptions, and we have to find those spots, grab that oil, and in case of a meltdown use it to power backup generators

south bane
#

why do we care about the volcanoes bro this is about a new division 💀

faint rose
#

There’s oil in volcanos

south bane
#

ong

faint rose
#

Bro what.

#

Or AED could extract natural gas and use it to heat the facility

opal pawn
#

ur thinking about this too hard

#

why would we need to heat the facility

faint rose
#

It’s funny

pliant elbow
faint rose
#

True

pliant elbow
#

we don't need to heat facility

faint rose
#

We don’t want our guns to jam from the cold

pliant elbow
#

lol

pliant elbow
#

and use its power

#

but i dont think oil in DoD is needed

faint rose
#

A new resource might be a pain to do yeah

coral sun
faint rose
#

^^^

pliant elbow
#

for what could be the inner-workings of AED

#

ranks, ect.

opal pawn
#

thank you corpsii

terse sinew
#

I don't recommend doing a full dive into it just to save time. Nobody really knows the full extent of AED, and for what you do propose it may not even be incorporated. Lots of the ideas are sound, I just don't know to what extent AED will function at. Vague teasers / promises are one thing, execution is another.

opal pawn

noted

terse sinew
#

But otherwise, cool

pliant elbow

thank you
