Phil Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Name: 501st Executive Officer Dogma | Phil Suggestion: Make Ammo Buyable Only From The Armory Implementation: Removing It from the F4 Menu and making it buyable only from the Armory Lore: N/A, No Lore, but making it so you can buy it from the Armory would be more RP friendly, because currently people can just constantly buy it in combat and have infinite ammo, It would also force people to go buy ammo from the armory before events and going out on patrols. Workshop content if applicable: IDK make it so you press E on an ammo crate in the Armory and it opens up a menu (If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development") And to everyone -1 this, please put an actual reason, and not just "It wont work" "It's a terrible Idea", Give feedback to posts and why they wouldn't work, don't just jump on a bandwagon and -1 without an actual reason. If you give a great example it could give others ideas on how to improve them and add newer stuff. Edited March 1, 2019 by Phil "And to everyone -1 this..." 1 Report Link to comment

Bbstine Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Let me tell you why this is a terrible idea. 1. The fake armory feels like fort knox trying to get past CG, imagine what it's like with real ammo. 2. Let us say you are out in the middle of the jungle on the main server and you need ammo, what now then? Pull back that advantage point you've got just to fetch some ammo? I think the fuck not. 3. The MRP crate system was ass, period. -1, why would you even try this. 5 2 Report Link to comment
GM-3022 Havok Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Now, before I +1 or -1 I have a few questions: Will there be an ammo crate only in armory? Will there be an inventory system so you can buy ammo crates and load them into your gun whenever you need ammo? Will there be multiple crates spread across the map? (like in MRP?) Can you buy more than just pulse ammo? (I wanna load 100 rockets into my launcher maaaan.) Edited February 28, 2019 by GM-3022 Havok Link to comment

Let us say you are out in the middle of the jungle on the main server and you need ammo, what now then? Pull back that advantage point you've got just to fetch some ammo? I think the fuck not. That's how military and logistics work. When you head out on a Patrol and If you know you're going to be out there for too long you're going to bring extra ammunition and supplies. And adding to getting ammo in the field. It would be neat if they could make it so you could get ammo from LAATs, so they would actually be used more than just transporting people. But it would be difficult with them being banned when there's 100+ people on. If you don't do that when going out then that's a you problem chief for being lazy.

But that would encourage people to actually do it. The first time they go out they might forget and get themselves killed and they would say to themselves "alright next time we go out we're going to stop by the armory and gear up." And because a "few" individuals refuse to get ammo before going out because "they don't agree with this system" then the whole server shouldn't be punished. I agree that some people won't agree with this because "too much effort" (honestly it's not, you're just going to the armory and opening a menu to buy ammo) but I do believe it would give others more to do before going out.

Management Marvel Posted February 28, 2019 Management Management Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Yikes. Imagine complaining about running when majority of the day most of you are running around in circles in courtyard or in the base because you got nothing to do omegalul. This will add some much needed immersion. Also yes I believe that we should then rework a class so that they can give Ammo sorta like the GM Support Trooper can give armor. Maybe Battalion Heavies and/or ENGs should be able to deploy Ammo crates during battle, and in my opinion they should also be able to give extra armor.

Pythin Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Bruh this is wack. Do you realize, in all realism, that to get to armory you need to pass ST everytime. It would be like that scene in Lion king when he gets ran over by a stampede. Either the ST would give up getting sick en tired of waving everyone to go in, or he’ll start whacking his stick at all ya. either way buying it as a buyable to players is soo much easier, and they are already a part of some trainings. Trust me it won’t work. Just be better to by via the store -1 Former: Liaison Link to comment

GM-3022 Havok Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Unless we add an inventory system where you can buy and store cases of ammo and use them on demand, its a fat -1 from me. Because think about it: People die constantly during events, and you lose any and all ammo you gain upon death. So if there's an invasion in the courtyard, and everyone is constantly dying and losing their ammo they spent 3000+ on, Armory will be constantly crowded with people trying to load up on ammo from one ammo vendor and run back to the front lines. (I literally got out of an event server event where there was an ammo dispenser, and people were crowding around it trying to get as much ammo as possible. It was cancer.) Not only that, but you cant bring ammo with you from the main server to the event server, so people would be begging the gamemaster to spawn ammo for them so they aren't useless during the event. And if you run outta ammo during the event, you are completely outta luck and may as well pull out your fists and beat droids to death. (Which is exactly what the GMs did one time but that's besides the point.) The only way this would work is if you didn't lose all of your gained ammo on death, or if an inventory system that I just mentioned is implemented where you can store as much ammo as you need and use it on demand. I have seen other servers do this, so it is definitely possible. This would also save people a ton of credits because instead of spending credits on ammo spawning, they can just load their gun with as much ammo as they need, and still have ammo in reserve to use for no additional cost. Also, as mentioned before, you should make it so you can buy rockets and flamethrower fuel from the armory. Otherwise, -1 Edited March 1, 2019 by GM-3022 Havok Link to comment

Hayley Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I like the idea and your reasoning behind it. But in my opinion it makes things difficult especially when doing events/trials, etc... I like the idea of buying it in the shop. It makes it cost money. Unless maybe if you either raise the price of ammo, or if this does get implemented maybe having multiple places in the base, and outside the base to get ammo. This will allow getting ammo more efficient during events/trials, etc... Ex. Putting buyable ammo in CIT, CSR, CQC area. There are armories in Bravo and Alpha. So I am -1 for now, unless there will be tons of places where ammo can be bought. 1 Report Link to comment
