Mechs are equipment, and should look that way. Hell, I'd love having like just a key or something as ignition. Imagine how badass starting up your fucking mech would be, sliding the key into the ignition while the machine whirrs to life, euphoria only experienced by mostly German crane operators I'd like to golly and gawk all day, but honestly, if push comes to shove leave the crazy-ass swords to the antags. ...wait, what am I talking about? WAAGH! PAINT IT YELLA! IT'Z DA BOOMIEST KOLOR! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- Honestly, if mechs got a startup system, and some sort of cool computer voice/ai thing like they do in Titanfall. I'd fucking kill for it. "You are out-numbered, two to one." "Recommend retreat." "Eject. Eject. Eject."
Aphelion Posted January 6, 2020 Author Posted January 6, 2020 What if... Mech swords are just a traitor item. They have a high-rate of missing when being used on people, but if being used on other mechs or walls/doors they absolutely wreck it. Alternatively, a 'sword' could be an engineering tool, something like a rapid demolition tool that uses hypersonic vibration to make the big ole' blade do alot of damage to doors and walls.

Something that lets you escape the mech instantly, and get teleported randomly somewhere that is hopefully safer!

Mech items are already in the Traitor kit buyables (unless the Jury Rigged Laser was removed, which considering the mech update it might have), so I think something like this would be balanced. Especially if Security tries to meme your mech with their own mech, you can shut that shit down. I don't know how balanced removing one hand in exchange for less damage (IE: What is the obvious idea for a Shield) would be when you already have another hand and shoulder slots for weapons, and at that some powerful weapons. Maybe make it so you can raise it in exchange for being slowed down and also being unable to use offensive tools.
