Geosynchronous Orbital Destroyer

Geosynchronous Orbital Destroyer (G.O.D.)

imagine, calling in directed energy strikes from space. how's that for the Fist of GOD artillery?

a SAT tech perks allow you to establish communications with one of those military satellites in space. chant the pass phrase like a mage and lo! a huge muthalovin' laser cannon orbiting in space. but you gotta move to safety distance before you call the strike. cool huh? (oops. is that like, Fallout Fantasy? Apostasy!)

A cool weapon idea would be the ability to fire two guns at once :2gunfire:
Like any two pistols or sub machine guns. It could be like in Diablo 2 some guns would be one handed (pistols, knives, submachine guns) and other would be two handed (shotguns, rifles, machineguns). it would be cool to john woo some Desert Eagles or M1911A1's.

A Giant Mech suit made by none other than the brotherhood of steel! it could have 2 miniguns that are controled by ur hands and rocket launchers over ur sholders. For melee it would have giant blades on ur fight and u kick the guy in the chest. The only problem is that it would weigh like 75 pounds!

Build it yourself pipe bombs.
Of course there is the chance of blowing your arm off, but that's a risk you will need to take.

Let's see here... Science skill will probably be important. Due to the Chemistry involved. Pipes are probably plentiful. Maybe find some ball-bearings. Of course if your traps skill is too low you might blow your brains out while tinkering with the fuses. I hope you get the point.

It would be cool to have a silencer. Then i can sneak around with my stealth boi and shoot guys, of course i probably would have to kill em in one turn or everyone else would be alerted. Also if any of my enemies allies saw their bud's dead body, it should be harder to sneak, since they will be on hightened alert.

i really think that some of these fallout ideas are drifting toward games like MGS2, or other FPS's, or fantasy RPGS... *keep in mind the 'purity' of fallout*

I think you should be able to use the scenery around you. Say you were in a bar and a mutant started to fight you. First you pickup a pool-cue and stab him in the eye with it, then smash a stool over his head and then pour whiskey on him and throw a match. BOOM.


theyre also should be more hand to hand moves. like throw someone out of a window, or do a 3 punch combo. Also mabye different fighting styles, like mabye kung-fu, boxing or school-boy (like kicking sand in their face and stuff)

Also more people should use melee weapons and pistols that are weakish in the beginning. I liked to just walk round in my leather jacket for ages with just a revolver and a combat knife.


Mabye some kind of taser weapon?

And mabye build weapons (like mabye put some nails in a stick, make a coil-gun or mabye hairspray and a lighter)

and make use of the throwing skill.

also, big guns and energy weapons hould be rare, un-less its in an army base. Also mabye you have to fix some guns because they have sand in the barrel or they snapped.

I think the hex range of a fired gun should be


ap to fire gunx10 share by 2.

so a pistol fires...20 hexes...a minigun fires....30 hexes...and so on.

might need a little tweaking.

That is a damn good idea!

The longer the range, the more APs it will cost you.

Perhaps there should be a "shoot fast" option where you could sacrifice some range and a small amount of accuracy and be able to fire a few more shots. Obviously best for close combat where the number of shots you fire can mean more that accuracy.

I like the idea of an aiming option, where you can spend extra AP's to get an accuracy bonus.
I'm not insane, I'm just misunderstood. Unless I misunderstood the meaning of "insane".
