Remote Control Power Armor

[Shadowjinx]

So while playing an Institute themed character I was thinking of what kind of character I would be as I felt like being a scientist I wouldn't go into combat at all.

 

So then it hit me. Power Armor seems pretty good for a scientist character but what if I could remotely control the Power Armor instead of actually climb into it?

 

So this mod idea came about. Maybe using the asset of the Memory Den's sleep pods we could climb into them and then an invisible actor controlled by us would then take control of the Power Armor. Gameplay would function as normal but items picked up would be directly added to the inventory of the Power Armor and once we got out of the Power Armor the player character (who is still inside the pod) would then regain control and would get out of the pod.

 

This would allow a character who lives within the Institute to never have to actually go out into the outside world. If you died while controlling the Armor it would instead just break and become a suit you would have to recover after you get out of the pod, with all the items it collected stored in the suit too. Someone like the person who created Power Armor Autopilot would be a great candidate to make a mod like this!

 

tl;dr Someone should make a mod that allows you to control Power Armor remotely.

Sounds great, I like it.

 

I never knew there was an autopilot mod until now. Thanks!

 

Although I disagree that there's a distinct interdisciplinary link between the two mod concepts. I think the challenge is in not killing the player character when the armor they pilot is destroyed.

I remember there was a Skyrim mod, Undeath. That let you turn into a Lich and once you 'died' you reformed in your tower without actually dying. Don't know if this type of scripting would be possible without the GECK but that could still be taken for inspiration.

Scripts :D Lots of scripts, CK will come out next month and I will bet you, an autopilot (not a buggy one), a remote control one, and an airdrop one (not the relay mod, an airdrop via vertibird) will all be a thing within like 2 weeks at most. But as of now I DEFINITELY don't see it being even remotely possible without the CK unfortunately :l Sounds great though.
