Techie/Engineer

[rensseli]

I haven't played Fallout 3 for a while now, simply haven't had the time (real life intervention). I've mostly played Teamfortress 2, since I'm able to play a little while and then abandon it. I also tried out Alien Swarm, since it's free 'n all.

 

Now I'm starting to get an itch to play Fallout again and relating to the prior mentioned games I had an idea: the engineer in TF2 is pretty useless unless he's behind his monstrous sentrygun and in Alien Swarm it's just nice to have that reassuring beep/click of the sentry behind you, knowing nothings coming through that way alive until the gun runs out of ammo - I want this in Fallout.

 

 

1. Building your personal sentrygun - You can sleep soundly in Old Olney, knowing those pesky Death Claws won't get near

The model should be something like in Aliens, but add-ons should be applied and the appearance should be altered to reflect this (as seen in Weapon Mod Kits)

1.1 Addons

Rockets, sniper, cannon, sensors (added range), turning speed upgrades, ammo load-out, wheels - added mobility with an impact on range and accuracy.

 

2 Surveillance (cams) - is it even possible?

kind of the same idea as with the sentry, albeit ammo is changed to information. Get some raiders really pissed and then run and hide in a cave, watching the little monitor on your Pipboy as your sentrygun slaughters them at the cave mouth ;)

 

3.Upgrading gear

Basically Weapon Mod Kits did to weapons what I'd like to be done to all gear; armor, mines, Pipboy... how about a mechanised armor suit with integrated sentrygun (yes, there it is again) that runs on Flamer Fuel (in order to limit awsomeness)?

 

4.Robots are crap, but I've got a mechanical legs to run faster!

Robotic limbs for added speed/strength, Borg-style integrated nightvision...

 

5. Gear

combine vanilla gear to create better gear, basically extended crafting blueprints for this charclass only. Explosive overload: Combine a clock with a mininuke (and run) or slap some EMP and HE mines on a reprogrammed RoboBrain and watch the fireworks when it takes out an Enclave listening post.

 

I have many more ideas on the matter and all those displayed are still a bit raw, but I have to go to work now. I hope to see some smokin' ideas and pleas from modders for a chance to make this when I get back ;)

I hope my ranting is readable!
