First I want to say HI to all of you, I was playing this game for few hours and its one of the best invested money in game for a very long time for me
As title say, I have few suggestion to combat system -lightly inspired by fallout 2/jagged alliance game my idea about system is where you can fight as someone with big gun or sniper rifle or even with melee weapons, where heavy armor protects but restrain movement and light armor gives you more ability
This idea comes to me when around 8 tribals attacked me with nothing but rocks, they come few squares before my sanbag nest vs 3 col.onists with modern weapons (pistol, garand, garand)
In "reality" they would have all holes in their bodies on min 20m distance but in game they killed my whole crew and lost nobody
garand even on few metres shoot slow and its semi automatic rifle, like shooter is fully aiming on max distance and try to fit small dot(target) into his ironsights, but thats not true on short distance
Here are my ideas
-So what I have in mind is, weapons will shoot slowly on long distance but will have lot faster aiming on shorter distance
-No armor will hurt, one or two bullets from rifle can get down even strong man filled with adrenaline
-ammo, maybe you say its micromanagment, but no, it will add strategy to game -you will think twice if you will spend your expensive ammo on some tribals armed with clubs and will also force to train people in hand to hand combat
also ammo will be scarce and will be expensive to create/buy
-variety of damage types
-armor system, not only modern armors but starting armors like padded vest -protecting from clubs, leather armor -protects from cuts, metal armor -can protects from various damages lot better, armors made from scrap metal, iron, steel, nylon, kevlar, twaron, dyneema, futuristic alloys for power armors ..etc
-ability to conserve ammo and set semi-auto fire for automatic weapons
-ofcourse melee weapons, imagine your colonist who spent his life as medieval knights fighting in plate armor with some bandits in scrap armor made from tires with machetes, axes and primite gunpowder weapons, bullets are bouncing from him and he is cutting them down like a pro :-)
Crazy possibilities of this "from medieval to space" on "mad max" like planet are great
-maybe attachments on guns -like bayonets, scopes, etc
-Crafting with quality levels -similar to Gnomoria
there is difference between armor made by somebody who just randomly glued scrap together and master who made lammellar armor form it in his modest workshop
-I had lot more but I forgot them hehe
