Matt1713 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) OK so I was thinking of some weapons that would look good for a western style NV and an old show somehow came to mind. The show was a cartoon called Pumpkin Scissors where the main character used to belong to some secret anti-tank unit where they held these absolutely massive revolvers that fired a single ENORMOUS bullet at a time that would actually be able to penetrate the tank's armor and kill it's passengers. The catch was that they could only penetrate the tank's armor if they got right up to the tank and fired the gun right on it, hence the appropriate name Tank Knocker. The gun was reloaded by splitting it in half so the single bullet slot was exposed and fitting the bullet into it (there's probably a better explanation or an actual term for this method of reloading but I don't know how else to say it. If anything else, simply watch the series and find a scene of the character using/reloading the pistol). I figured that would be a very fitting addition into New Vegas. If you want a pic of the pistol, a simple google image search of "Pumpkin Scissors Tank Knocker" will bring up a few good pics of the gun.

Matt1713 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) There will be, if I have my way. OH MY GOD!!!, PLEEEASE PM me if you make that mod. I always thought that there should be working vehicles in all the Fallout series, I mean seriously?! Not ONE vehicle has survived or can still run or be salvaged in the entire wasteland?! A crazed group of tribals finding a hidden underground bunker with preserved tanks sounds more than possible and you would have a quest to recruit a whole team of allies with their own specialties (some they can teach you) and you and (for example) the NCR go to take them down and salvage as many tanks as possible. And as a reward, you get your very own personal tank that you can call into battle for a couple of game hours before it has to refuel and reload. So I think it would act like ARCMIDES (sorry if it's misspelled) and be available once a day. With that said, you think you could add that revolver in with that mod, or make the revolver mod first? If you add it in with the tank mod, a nice idea would be that you would have it act like in the show and you would have to shoot at the tank up-close and in just the right places to take out the people inside. Oh and you're personal tank would be cusomizable with upgrades that could be purchased or given to you, like better tracks for better and faster mobility, increased firepower, decals/camo, etc. Edited September 17, 2011 by Matt1713 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperScooperMKII Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Personal tank? No, Hawaii imperialists.Still a long way off, but if/when I get around to the main area, tanks are top priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this means anything, but I'm a Computer Scientist (graduated with a BS degree) and am taking a Master's in IT. I have experience in basic C and Java and a little (key word - little) experience in Python coding. Let me know if I could help you develop such a mod.

drakeelvin Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 You should do Battle Cattle first, then tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1713 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 You should do Battle Cattle first, then tanks. Do you mean actual brahmin enemies/companions like they have "think helmet" with wired connections into two mounted miniguns on their sides where they would fire with pure thought. Oh, OH, and customizable/upgradable armor for them as well. Or did you mean something completely different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen custom tools in other game/modding communities, but I have no idea what such a tool would do in NV.It's all GECK right now, with a bit of Sketchup frivolity.
