Free nukeop gear every round
Plz
If youre going to load every away mission with Hardsuits, C20r's, genetic powers, eshields, double eswords, fucking etc.
At least REQUIRE that the gateway leading out from the mission is behind a majority of the threats/loot.
The Syndie ship with the BSA has the right idea. Dump people aboard with no way out and force them to fight their way through the mission if they want to return to the ship pimped out harder than the average nukeop.
As it is I've seen at least three missions where you can go in, poke around, run out the same way you came in if shit goes south, a few people wander in, toolbox the nearest syndie and within 2 minutes you've got a pimped out Nanotrasen Nukeop Squad with virtually no risk or effort, just walk back out the way you came in and go nuts with your commando gear.
It's very simple, if you're going to get the best combat gear available, require a proportionate amount of effort. The simplest way to do that is move the gateways so that you actually have to make a committed effort if you want to run around on station with your newcop loadout.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
I heard a suggestion to make items like C20s "tagged" the same way away mission antags are exile implanted, I that they're free to use on the away mission, but can't be brought back to the station. I feel that that would probably be an optimal solution.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
Seems like a good idea, let's you balance out a away mission without worrying about giving the crew the power of a high level antagonist.
Can also still allow reward items to be sent through the gateway that are not weapons, or weapons tagged to allow transport.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
Emitter maze is decent because you have to run the gauntlet to get gear and there's only a small amount of neato nukeop gear (and some of it is syndicate firing pinned).Zilenan91 wrote:Pls post this in the "please remove the emitter maze away mission" thread because I've already covered a lot of this.
Its the other new ones where you walk in, there's a syndie like 20 feet from the entrance, so a couple assistants can easily overwhelm it, get his gear, and snowball in a matter of minutes into a mini-nukeop squad.
Exile-implanting the gear is a solution but:
1) It would require tweaking the away missions. I know I would never do any mission more than once (just to explore) if I knew all the cool shit would disappear once I finished.
2) It seems like a really obtuse mechanic compared to just moving the damn gateway. Not having a gateway at the entrance changes the whole feel of a mission. It requires people to show up prepared and not just wander in and get free shit, and it really give you that chill of "oh god what did I step into" when there are a dozen or more syndicate between you and the escape. It just doesn't feel like an away mission when you've got a portal to complete safety right behind you.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
Make a new "exile" firing pin that prevents guns from being fired unless you're at the away mission or replace it.
It'd gate the guns behind having the stuff to remove the pin an replace it.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
There was a pr that made it so they don't drop eswords and all the guns they drop are syndi pinned. I think it got merged.
Oh also Emitter Maze isn't even a gauntlet. You can cheese around the whole thing by just having tools because you can deconstruct the windows leading to the emitters, then getting in and deconstructing the emitters. After that use the machine frames to block lasers as you move your way to the right side, then get in, and keep deconstructing emitters and using their machine frames to block shots as you go down. If you do it right, you get to the end with no challenge and no damage taken. After that just hack open the door, then put a machine frame in front of hte bolted open door so all the mobs with guns in there die to space. Pick up their guns, kill the mob in the right room, get bigger guns, then shoot the eshield mobs to death with your bigger guns and suddenly you have infinite gear.

You can. Also fun fact, Emitter Maze is literally bugged right now so none of the emitters or turretes even fire so it's literally walk in, get free gear, walk out.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
Remember when people said to not have away missions that had lots of loot?
Remember when that got us interesting, non balance shattering missions like WJ's xeno one?
That's why I like the lavaworld one - there's some neat as fuck loot, but it's not just piles of guns and swords, and it requires time and effort to conquer and escape from.
Even space battle is shit, since you can deconstruct walls to safely get back to the gateway, and once you kill one dude you can pretty reliably clear out the entire mission with enough time.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
What I could do is move the Gateway to the very end of the away missions, so if you go in you have to commit to finishing the mission if you want to escape back to the station, instead of going in, killing the first Nuke Op/PMC/Whatever then looting them for free higher end antag gear and then running back to the station.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
In fact why don't we make more toxic away missions?
Right now we have all this away mission equipment, bio gear and survival tools. Yet people know what to expect so they fling themselves in to kill the Ops they find. If we add more missions that are just as much about environmental dangers then at least it makes going into the gateway far more risky, especially if you don't spawn at the gateway.
Suddenly your Op gear run turns to disaster when you plop into the middle of a radiation storm and your not wearing a protective suit.

We should redesign the away missions to be extremely difficult to the point where you would need the entire crew to devote themselves to preparing a expedition and researching/buying/creating the needed tools, weapons and other in order to mount a expedition.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
Space Battle got bad once RCD's became common and easy to fill, and people got better at exploiting mob AI.
The NT Private Security one is the worst though. All the fat loot of the space battle with even less risk since you have the gateway right behind you at mission start. Just pull mobs to gateway, beat them down, get your free double eswords+armor+combat gloves+etc. and then snowball from there until you've got more weapons than the armory. Easily obtained genetics powers too.
Did the gateway time get shortened too? Used to be tolerable when you had like 30 minutes of downtime before the gate opened and everyone got their fat loot, now it seems like its open much sooner.
I could see a place for a mission where you can bring back fat gear after an extreme challenge. I like the idea of player-controlled mission defenders, throw in other enrivonmental hazards, tons of mobs, and no easy escape, and I could see support for letting the survivors leave with some guns or something.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
I would be fine with loot at the end of a very difficult away mission, I just think the early game stuff should not be usable.
For example, if you get a C20r near the start that should not be able to be brought back to the station, but the loot at the end should be.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
Shit lik exile pins are pretty redundant when removing a pin from a gun takes like 5 seconds and the only uncommon thing you need is a plasma cutter, which takes like, 5 seconds of research to get.
Snowdin is good in terms of being somewhat difficult, but it has too much loot.
Need more missions where the gate just spawns you in various different locations (like space battle), and you have to trek through nightmarish shit to try find your way back to the gate.
Good loot should very much be in missions, but it should be an actual achievement to come out alive with your dong blaster 5000, not just a question of who can rush there first.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
Away Missions need to be a cute gimmick map that doesn't lead to the vast majority of the crew dying or being stranded with no way to get back. It's not fun when you're 3/4 of the way through a round and everyone's MIA. The round is about dealing with whatever antag is currently on the station, not going off-site to practice robusting simple mobs.
The only away mission should be the beach.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
This isn't a hard fix. There should be an annoucement when the gateway opens that only specifies that the Gateway is one of three risk-levels:
Class 1 = Minimal risk, either beach-type noncombat missions or missions where the gateway is near the entrance and the threats are all ones you can "walk away" from, all "loot" will be largely cosmetic
Class 2 = Moderate risk, enemies and challenges within, but threats are manageable and a majority of excursion team is expected to survive. However, loot will never be worth more than a few TC (e-daggers, EMP nades, etc.).
Class 3 = High risk, little to no survivors expected most rounds, gateway only present at the end of the mission, extensive threats that will easily murder you but the loot is highly lucrative (nuke op gear, genetics powers, magic tomes, etc.). Ideally will have a player-controlled defender as well.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
Why are we talking about blobs now? Remove the away missions. They're turning into/have been powergamer loot piñatas. Remove them and reevaluate post-haste.
OK, round's over. There is no scenario in which a player should be able to obtain nuke op gear and wizard spells during a normal round, without admin button pushing. Yet this ability is in the game right now. The game is significantly less fun with away missions enabled. They must be removed. Not reevaluated, not rebalanced, just removed.

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
I played the AI last night and got my shit dunked in by a rev with C4, a nuke op hardsuit, an e-sword and wizard spells. The only conscionable solution is to remove away missions and revist the entire concept from the ground up. Freezes and tweaks are not sufficient.PKPenguin321 wrote:or at least frozen until they can be tweakedAtlanta-Ned wrote:OK, round's over.

the idea is freeze away missions, tweak them to remove the C4/hardsuits/eswords, only leave very select and specific loot (read: not roundbreaking), the unfreeze

Re: Free nukeop gear every round
You can't remove syndicate loot from inherently syndicate away missions without removing them as a whole. We really should just do away with Wild West, Space Battle, and Emitter Maze, since at the core they can't be saved conceptually because they were always designed to just be massive loot huts and nothing else.
