LOL!

I think my reputation for drooling is exceeding Hetzer's :D

Yes, increased coolness in the audio department will be very much aoppreciated. Now I defiantely want to attatch those 'cat ears' to my headphones.

I just had two brilliant, well I think they're brilliant, ideas for WS. Of course they're probably a pain, but wouldn't it be cool if:

1) you could jump backwards? It'd take the same proportion of time as walking backwards to walking forwards, and require the same conditions for a jump up, so you wouldn't be able to jump backwards off a mountain that you couldn't have jumped up in the first place...well, unless you allow a hover on jump level 0 till the jets wear out and you crash down.

2) Fire extinguishers. Seriously. Replaces a hand, but you can put out forrest fires.

OK, maybe this should have gone in the bizarre suggestions thread. Too late now.

Fire extinguishers? Doesn't sound too useful... No offence...

But IMHO, the jump jet use is quite limited. What about turning
in mid-air? Takes 3s per turn. Could be fun. And what about
jet assisted movement?

I thought you could jump off any mountain, regardless of the
height difference.
Make love, if you want. Just
make sure you have time for
war, too.

It'd be interesting to be able to extinguish fires. Useful, definitely. But shields are for this. Reduce heat fom forest fire.

Jump jets are only limited by your applications of them.

well, on "stuff" you want, how about emergency cooling EQ, simple internal 'sprinkler' system, and liquid oxygene or something....limited number of uses, but could be very useful in a pinch.

well for 1 thing the heating reg system is closed and ammo explosions are more of a quick KABOOM! and done because if they would be flaming it would be pretty obvious pretty quick (heat would rise even with shields on at a steady rate) so an internal sprinkler system would be kinda useless and liquid O2 would probably do more damage than good because it would freeze the metal and i believe we all know what happens when you quickly heat then freeze an object *crack crack shatter*

There is already an emergency cooling system in ToS: Go and jump in a lake!

If you've got a titan that's prone to heating, try to set up ambushes near rivers and lakes, so that you can go into them and cool off more rapidly. I remember back when I used to use Penetrators, that I would regularly have them go wading. It made for a great defense against CC titans, that were understandably loath to follow it into the water.
