Holyass Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 As the title said there going be an suggestion here that both buffs and nerfs it. 1st the buffs, Make the light have modes, low, mid and high light emitters. Low as it say you barely get any light from it mid standard flashlight. High big as a flare light. and now the nerfs. Make flashlights any of them beside PDA's small light use power form a power cell that be remove with ease, by right clicking and click remove power cell and click on the flashlight with the cell to put it back in, the better the power cell the longer it will last, low is power saver and mid drains not slow or fast and high just drain the power soo fast.

Keilden Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Would it work to make the flashlight only shine at the direction you look at? If its range is longer but only in one direction it would also be a nerf/buff combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regen Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I like these tweaks to the flashlight, gives more reason to actually toggle it rather than keep it on all the time. As for the directional light, the problem with that is that we already see the character and 360 degrees around them, having directional light doesn't make sense with how a lot of SS13 works.

tigercat2000 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 not to mention the fact that it would require a massive change to the lighting system with new calculations, *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renomaki Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Honestly, it would be nice of more light sources had batteries attached to them. Give us reason not just to turn them off when not using them, but also encourage people to build more batteries. Keeping people productive is always fun.

Doukan Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Giving all those power cells lying around a reason to exist that doesn't involve stun batons? Yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbdumn5 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Not a big fan of the power cell idea, mostly due to reliance on engineering and cargo to get more of them, but if you manage to stockpile enough in maintenance or grab some mesons, you don't need to worry.

Tauka Usanake Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I would just drag a burning greytider with me. Or be plasma man with fire resist. A plasmaman with fire resist doesn't die? That's awesome! But they're still a living, walking, growing inferno that shows no mercy, yes? Why do I like all the horrible things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyass Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Or we can have a torch that runs off of plasma :3? @ dumb then what less we are going to do with power cells beside making crossbows out of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevak Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 On the topic of plasmamen. How quickly do they die if their suits come off? Cause if they have a few seconds to swap into an atmos hardsuit, they're basically immune to fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlattestGuitar Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The atmos or CE suit will override that fire with 100% temp resistance. FLAME ON!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevak Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Also, apparently giving plasmamen the heat resist gene will keep them alive indefinitely while on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannhawk Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 i just want to point out that seclites have slightly brighter lights than normal lights. that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyass Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Anyways I think flashlight running off power cell is a great thing to do and i will list the reasons why. 1. It add in a another part of slice of life into the game aka Flashlight don't run on magic. 2. For evil roles it add in a small % that their terget flashlight dies in the dark and then that give us new dark horror parts in our game play :3 3. it give the power cells another use for them.

saywat_the_15th Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I dunno. On one hand it could be pretty neat but on the other hand i imagine it would be a pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyass Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 well if you have the best power cell for them they will last hours on end, you just have to worry if you have a crappy power cell in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saywat_the_15th Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hmm, if sec would start with a better powercells in their seclites then i'll give a +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
