Topic: Spark Teleport while beeing on Terrain

After a newbie question yesterday in help chat, i came up with this idea:

why not enabling spark teleport while beeing deployed?
- when you do that, your robot will remain as inactive npc, destructible by any1 but PVP flagging on beta/gamma.
- Accumulator set to zero or max instantly
- vanishing without explosion like a fieldcontainer after 15min
- not possible with "in combat" flag
- warning message when doing so
- masking debuff for 1 minute on the reaming deadrobot

Err. Why would anyone do that? I only see even more soft exploits with Arkhes.

I like this option, if you want to self destruct, should be able to. Arkhe shouldn't emit AoE damage. I agree with the plate AoE bonus, it plainly illogical , make more sense on AP.

This is now a " We need to buff arkhe with plates NOW" post.

Move along.

Robot you've left unpiloted should be lootable then, with all it's fit and cargo.

i have excluded that one since it seems to be a major problem with the game engine to remove visible equip like weapons while on terrain.

Pretty easy tweak - you press "Teleport" button and a loot container appears instead of your bot, consisting everything you had.

Re: Spark Teleport while beeing on Terrain

That would actually create exploitable situations in pvp, but i dont know anything about pvp fits, so its useless to mention that perhaps someone somewhere on the server goes roaming without any means to repair himself and would benefit from dropping all his stuff into a fieldcontainer so his squadmates could bring his equip back home with a much lower chance if they meet something on the way home...

Re: Spark Teleport while beeing on Terrain

What we really need are bots within bots. 

And so it would be called botception!!!

Any kind of possible exploits in pvp can be avoided by adding timers or pvp flag restrictions. But I can hardly imagine how leaving all your stuff to enemies can be exploited - well ok, your enemy will not get his nicey shiney record on perp-kill - but who cares! Reward is still more than usual pvp loot and +2,53mm to e-peen.

What's for bring your loot back by friends - they needd to survive first, and then need to have free cargo space - fit is ok but robot by itself needs sequer at least.

Then you can say - ok friends can have sequer with them etc. - but hey, if you and some of your friends will teleport hoping others will bring them back, that will reduce your team strength so enemies will be able to destroy your forces more easily and then just chase that sequer or whateer you'll bring.
