Falken: Jan 26, 2004; Do you feel like a hero yet?

I think what I'd like to see would be a mod that adds some power armor weapons to the game, in the same kind of vein of the crazy boltguns from Warhammer 40k (I know the Imperial Guard use them too, but shut up ok), with the option to make certain big guns Power Armor only, like the minigun and such.

Speaking of the minigun, a mod which dramatically reduces weapon recoil when using power armor would be super. I want to lean on that loving trigger and not let off until there's nothing moving.

Ok, let's see what the latest file are on the nexus!

what :nws:

99% of the modding community needs to get laid for everyone's sake.

My kingdom for a mod that reduces the spread on shotguns to "not loving useless"

I like to think that Capn Beeb cried a little when he realised there was no choke mod for the shotguns.

Because I did, too.

This is also good.

I wish you could convert the minigun to fire .50. poo poo, the three barrel slow spin upgrade is modeled after a .50BMG minigun.

At least then maybe I'd use the loving thing.

Yeah, the only way the miniguns are useful is if they are a good legendary drop. I have one that does 25% extra damage on top.

I want me an AR15 based rifle, what with the modding system in place you'd have more flexibility than the plasma weapons in vanilla game.

I love how spacegun the assault rifle in game looks but with this upgrade system i'd love to see the goons from TFR who did that mod that just adds fucktons of guns from irl to new vegas come back for round 2.

lemme make a pipe minigun that's just a bunch of pipe assault rifles welded into a bike wheel that i crank or some poo poo, god drat. maybe then i'd have a use for .308

Haha, that would be super.

Also, does the .50 sniper needs a huuuge buff or is it just me? A combat rifle chambered in .308 does more damage per shot than the .50, which seems off, despite having less stats on paper.

Why the Armor Piercing % isn't displayed, I don't know. Just give me back my NV ammo types, cunts.

Trying out your overhaul mod now, mainly for the bolt rifles buff and heavy weapons. :getin:

Also, yeah, I'd like to see more pipe weapons, but maybe cleaner made? And with the option of having real reflex sights added.

e: After just having a *huge* firefight near the end of the USS Constitution, questline, I think I know what I want in a difficulty mod.

Not one that makes the enemies into bulletsponges, but just simply adds more. There was a mod for FO3 that did this, by increasing enemy spawns by x2/x3/x4 etc depending on what you wanted. It was quite a thing to see 20 feral ghouls running towards you. The game can handle it for sure, as there's a few areas that are pretty enemy dense like one graveyard I wandered into that was chock full of ghouls.

Random assortment of post-GECK mod ideas/things I badly want:

[list][*]Minuteman Vertibirds for settlements, with limited map range � la artillery.
[*]Send Vertibirds anywhere on the map instead of only to locations.
[*]Better Vertibird controls: hover (holds on target at variable height), patrol (circles target at variable distance).

Yeah, this would be good. I'd love for the Vertibird to do low and slow counter-clockwise orbits of the target area so you can bring the rain. :black101:

I had alot of fun taking a BoS vertibird on a grand tour of several locations in the Glowing Sea by constantly changing the pilots location in the map, would be cool to see this. Also having the BoS fly in and drop off Knights/Paladins to help you out. This would be particularly cool if coupled with an increased spawn mod.

Arcsquad12 posted:

So general/mod question. Since there is not really a level cap for FO4, I'm envisioning a potential problem with the way DR and health is going to work out. Since you gain health every level, and DR can be buffed to significant numbers with the right mods, is the game going to inevitably end up with dozens of bullet sponge enemies in the late game? Because your own damage does not increase each level, you need to buff it with weapon modifications and perks. So you can only max out your damage so much, while health and DR will continue to climb, meaning that your sniper rifle which you use to two shot enemies will eventually only barely chip away at your opponents.

Would a health capping mod and a Damage Threshold system fix this? I believe so.

I think a system that caps the health for both NPCs and yourself (optional) as well as issuing better weapons out to even low level enemies when you pass level thresholds would work.

I'd be a bit more wary of even low level raiders if they were rocking 10mms and combat rifles more often.

Maybe have the raiders in power armor use salvaged bits of T45/T60 etc here and there too.

e: Alternate settlements

Wallpaper and flooring that snaps into place over tiles! But you have to use the non vanilla parts he supplied. Might be worth a look, mind.

e2: I was about to say that my former point was kind of invalid, as I found some raider psychos with hunting rifles, hardened sub machine guns and a minigun(!) when returning to the wreck of the USS riptide, but when I cleared them out, I found a pile of weapons I discarded on the deck, so they must be some old guns I dropped off.

Still, this have given me the idea of planting every spare minigun I find in an area where I know raiders will spawn, so that when they pick it up and I kill them, +500 rounds of 5mm. :getin:

This is what I wanted from robotics expert and it's loving baffling you can't intimidate/hack things in the wild to get them to be guards for settlement or caravan movers. Bethesda's oversight is the mother of mods though.

Yup. Same for me with the Vertibirds being so underutilised. I imagine a mod will come out where you can control the Vertibirds speed and altitude when doorgunning, and a button to force it into a target orbit pattern so you can lay the pain.

Glad I read through the thread- really excited to use the robot guards mod, convenience stores, and a few others

Any idea of there are mods out there that:

-add some items like bunk beds, vaguely un-destroyed kitchen appliances and maybe even bathroom fixtures?

-additional wood/steel walls that have windows/window-holes?

-Ability to add livestock to a settlement?

-have any of the rubble remover/area cleanup mods been developed that don't mess with power armor/chests in the zone?

Basically if I could get those, a handful of ported weapon models from 3/NV (they've made the gauss rifle look like it weighs 50 lbs.) I think I'd be pretty happy.

Alternate Settlements adds in brick and concrete walls with window options, as well as a a "not poo poo" doorway.

Also carpets!

I recommend either stepping up the difficulty slightly or reducing your damage a tad with my Create Your Own Difficulty Rebalance mod.

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/222/

I didn't want to nerf anything too much (though some were handed out) so most of the shittier weapons got a bit of a buff, making things generally more competitive. Not much I can do about two shot being ridiculously overpowered alas. You can read more about it on the mod page.

speaking of which, some kind soul donated money to me for automatron, so I'm getting a start on expanding WBO for that!

surprise in the teaser

Iron Rose, I used your weapon balance overhaul the last time I played. What will happen if I use stuff like the [urlhttp://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11174/?]IF-54 Battle Rifle[/url]? Is it based on the ammo or the weapon? If it's the latter I guess I'll have to modify the file myself to bring it's damage up in line with the modified weapon damage?

I do need to figure out some way to make the gatling laser not a straight upgrade to the minigun though, so folks who use the latter don't feel like they're gimping themselves.

The annoying thing is that the design direction of Fallout games seems to make the minigun, a weapon that should be closer to endgame be an early weapon (It was worse in FO3 though). A minigun should really be just an alternative to a gatling laser, as you can't really argue with over 2000 rounds a minute being fired quite accurately.

One thing I would have liked to see is heavy automatic weapons such as the minigun and gatling laser geing super ineffective at longer ranges... unless you were in power armor, and the exoskeleton absorbs the recoil.
