abborre Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) I like the idea of domestic robots, and I like the look of the Mister Handy, but the iconic thruster sort of ruins it for me. It's frankly silly to have a robot fly around with a passive thruster, and it just feels really out-of-place and hazardous in a domestic environment, I don't want to see a flaming thruster blasting it's way through my crops that I've set the robot to tend to. So if there's anyone with the right skills to create such a thing who agrees with me, I suggest there should be a mod that either replaces the Mister Handy Thruster with some sort of anti-gravity-motor-looking mugguffin, or alternatively a mod that adds such a part as a "leg" modification at the Automatron Robot Workbench, so that anyone can chose to outfit their own robots with that instead of the thruster. I get this is not exactly a small request, since it'd require a new modelled part to be done justice, but hopefully there are other's who feel as I do. I personally still think the gravity-motor ough to stick to the Fallout aesthetic though, I'd prefer it not be some high-sci-fi-looking thing with black finish and a bunch of complex gemoetric nonsense built into the design or inexplicable LED-looking lights, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Edit: Here's a sort of concept art picture I made, partially to give some rough idea of what I'm going for, but also so I feel like less of off a dick requesting someone else make a fancy thing for me. I consider this a way of showing that I care, I just don't think I have what's needed to do the project myself, but I'm not just gonna make a request and lean back.

dragonslayer2k12 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 ^THIS!!!!! Watching videos on youtube of someone using a real life jetpack and the noise it makes is loud enough plus the giant amount of thrust needed to lift one person off the ground should be more than enough reason why the whole idea of jet engine handy would not make any sense at all. When a handy dies it should go flying off uncontrollably too but nope just falls down thats it. The anti grav thing should be there along with the eyebot anti grav ground effects.
