Grappling Hooks For Ghost Company

[Fishy]

Name: Fishy

 

Rank: WO

 

I have been in Ghost Company for almost my entire time on this server and I would not be lying if I said that something was lacking. 2ndAC gets jetpacks and currently our specialization in the battalions is boarding. Shouldn't "the elite" of the 212th Attack battalion also have a way to take out the cruisers from on them other than the 2 options we have currently (that being getting of someone's head that has a jetpack or having a jedi jump or throw us up.) So, I propose that Ghost Company gets access to this grapple hook belt or any grapple hook that the devs see fit. 

 

Lore: All clones had grapple hooks in their belts according to season 3 episode 1 of the clone wars series.

As much as this would be nice, I'd have to say -1 for the following reasons.

We've tried grapple guns before this one not tested but they were abused and buggy.

Were they fun, yes, but I think it would take away server performance unfortunately, and if they could grab players I could also see the issue of abusing it that way.

Good idea, I just don't see them getting another chance... just like plantable/throwable RBC's.

[Fishy]

Yes it was Guac. Kaiser and I talked briefly about it in DM's.

[Fishy]

Buzz, although I can't say anything for the performance because I tested it in single player, I can say that it drops on the ground and every time i dropped it the ability to hook entities was off. You can access it by holding C and right clicking on the entity when its on the ground before being picked up.

-1. grappling hooks have caused problems in the past and if anything should go back to 104th

[Fishy]

Would have to disagree monty. 104th already has priority for ATTE and TX130's. 212th Currently has priority boarding and according to the new boarding docs LAAT's shouldn't be used to board the muni prop ships due to the cannons on the sides shooting down the LAAT. So that leaves jedi throwing us or 2ndAC to take care of it.

-1 Change the boarding rules so that you can be carried up in a LAAT rather than try to grapple from ground level up to a ship up in the sky. Not only are you hurting your own battalion with that rule but you’re hurting SUP server-wide with that. Something like this would be way better suited for ARF server-wide (if there was no performance issues) so they can climb the rocks on the map rather than getting added just for your subunit.

-1. Boarding was LAAT and Jetpack based for years. If you guys decided to change your own rules and hurt your own BoardingRP, i don't think that quite warrants a server suggestion. Just allow LAATs to fly to Munis.

Besides, How is grappling to a ship that should be in our lower atmosphere anymore unrealistic than flying a Low Altitude Assault Transport into low atmosphere to board a ship?

[vCoil]

+1 just because the ghost company class just like any "elite subunit" in any battalion doesn't have anything special going for it besides cool armor

Yeah this basically minus the 104th part because who gives a fuck plus they're stupid. 

-1

Clones did not board ships as they was mostly on the defensive side in the war. Only time I can think of clones boarding capital ships is in the battlefront games where you board during a mission in the older game which a LAAT is used and in the game mode Capital Supremacy where the clones also use a LAAT to board the CIS capital ship so -1

Honestly 104th should be able to have the grappling hooks as well. So i going to be -1 this. 

[Misfit]

+1 not for boarding, use an LAAT and not for only your battalion

but if its controllable and not laggy sure only as a perma weapon

-1, Just use a LAAT to board enemy ships and stuff. That utility alone gives Pilots a role to fly instead of having events where it relies on just dogfighting. 

[Brooklyn]

-1 Reasons basically already stated

[KillJoy]

Just have the grapple hook as a thing in the prema weapon store for about 14 mil +1. Everyone clone had a grapple hook attachment for their weapons 

[Dennis]

-1 nah other things should be developed first 

[Black]

-1 Marvel and Cubby's reasonings convinced me

I do not believe that utility items such as this should be made a permanent weapon, let alone for that much. That would just take something that’s meant to add RP for a battalion, subunit, or specialization that any newer player could acquire and have fun with and lock it behind a paywall that most people would never get close to reaching. There’s already enough on the server for 99% of the “whales” to purchase.
