Last night I was thinking about a design for a new vehicle that would 'fit in' in UT2004 ONS gameplay.
I'm hopeless at model-making and skinning, in fact, I'm not even sure how to, lol.
Forgive me if this idea have already been thought up...
-The Quad Manta, or Manqa ('q' instead of 't' meaning quad, while the 't' means two, or two wings).
This machine is the ultimate frag factory. Instead of just two crushers or wings in the front, this vehicle has four, with another two added at the back. Instead of being an 'open' fan like they are now, the wings are covered by a black plating, so that when teammates jumps on the wings, they aren't forced backwards (this really annoys me
).
Since this machine is obviously more powerful than the Manta, I was thinking the speed at which it moves should be about 25% [your opinions on this]slower than the Manta.
Another thing that can be cut down is the height it can jump. Again, maybe a 25% decrease from the Manta.
The plasma cannon damage stays the same, possibly more damage for a slightly lower rate of fire or vice versa.
This vehicle is designed for the larger ONS maps for long distant taxi services
(such as Adara Canyon or something like that); in Torlan it may be a bit overpowering, but its definitely worth a try! (Especially when the vehicle replaces the Manta in Torlan powercore, lol
)
What do ya think?
