Holyass Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 We can make makeshift weapons, so why not armor? It give better stats then having nothing on but it won't be like sec armor but it will be better stats then having nothing on.

Coldflame Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 actual armour is already next-to-cosmetic, makeshift armour wouldn't be worth using Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/8738-makeshift-armor/#findComment-74691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeGuy9283 Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 No. This isn't the Dark Ages, any weapons or tools you're up against would not reasonably be impeded by 'makeshift' armor. I'd be all for rustic/antique armor being loot from gateway expeditions, but buildable armor would not contribute anything to the game. Security has insta-stuns, antags have everything from arm blades to large caliber rifles, and most tiders swing for the head anyhow.

Holyass Posted November 19, 2016 Author Posted November 19, 2016 And a punch vs makeshift armor can help a lot. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/8738-makeshift-armor/#findComment-74712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheatley29 Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 The concept of this is really cool, I could see some good practical uses for this during rounds where nukies declare war and there is not enough armor to provide everyone, so the assistants draw their crowbars and cable coils and make themselves some floor tile armor. Personally I think a good way to balance out the cheap cost of this armor is for a chance for it to fall apart, which can be negated slightly by adding additional cable. Overall its a good suggestion, however its uses a somewhat limited.

Holyass Posted November 20, 2016 Author Posted November 20, 2016 Over all, I think we can have a nice spot for makeshift armor, it don't have to be file tiles it can just be metal sheet to save time and you know the wooden shield we can make, I was thinking of upgrading it with metal to make a metal cover wood shield to stop some hits, It won't be like a riot shield, and making the wooden shield that have no metal cover a % to break up. And with the body armor, I think it can break but not to do so very much, when it dose break i think repairing it just take and some cable.

SomeGuy9283 Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Does anyone else think having wooden shields, improvised weapons, AND makeshift armor may come back to haunt us?

polkjm Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 I want to put a piece of bent metal on my head so toolboxes don't shatter my skull in a few hits. It just makes sense to be able to make makeshift armor Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/8738-makeshift-armor/#findComment-74978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
