Dark lord derpy Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Do spacemen even lift? My suggestion is to add exercise equipment to the dorms, using the equipment causes pain, but gets you gains in the form of minor bonuses. lifting weights for example could increase your endurance or mayby make it so you do like...1 extra point of damage in melee or something. it should be minor but still something. mayby extended time on a treadmill increases speed just a tad. of course, who has time for that stuff when chemistry can make you steroids, steroids give an increase in strength and endurance but can be addictive and give minor toxin damage. Protein shakes can be made with nutriment in addition to the steroid, and have less effect but less damage to you. they also make your spaceman say things like "Do you even lift" Finally "Super Steroids" turn you into hulk but deal toxin damage while your in that form and doesnt last long, however an overdose is permanent hulk....and you continue taking toxin damage until you die.

k0mbine Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The process of getting pumped should take a long time, to prevent people from saying "lemme click on a dumbbell for five minutes so i can beat your ass more easily." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalseIncarnate Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Saw the title, immediately thought of this: WE ARE GOING TO PUMP. *clap and point* YOU UP! Jokes aside, it's an interesting idea to give small bonuses based on doing things like working out. While I'm not sure how balance affecting it might be to increase damage (1 extra point on unarmed attacks doesn't seem like much, but in a fight that can quickly add up) or increase runspeed (even a slight speed advantage can make a big difference in dodging attacks), it does seem like you tried to keep the bonuses minor to avoid abuse. If nothing else, working out could be a faster way to burn off fat from over-eating. Perhaps strength training could make your grabs slightly more difficult to break out of, or increase the chances of successfully resisting from a grab yourself?

veganzombeh Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Maybe have working out produce a small amount of an adrenaline reagent, and make it give minor buffs while it's in the body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedaaaa~ Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Why don't make it that you can buy implants that boost strength and that surgeons must implant it. It costs a lot of your money IC and only applies to one limb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark lord derpy Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 As for IPCs and people with robot limbs, they're excercizes are calibrations, which have similar effects to organic excercize, while they cannot use roids perhaps they could have a way to overclock limbs, which give a nice boost but while overclocked they take damage, for example Sanic the IPC overclocks his legs allowing him to be very fast however each step he takes deals a point or 3 of brute damage, meaning he won't be running long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
