Exo2000 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 (edited) Human Armours;Kevlar Jacket (available from start, cheap but not very good, only protects chest)Tac-Arm Mk4 (available from start, more expensive but tougher, covers all of soldier)Prototype M27 Powerarmour (available some while after start, very expensive, very tough, increases Strength, decreases agility/speed)Experimental Jetpack (available shortly after start, expensive, very little armour. Chest protection. Will explode if damaged. Flying capability)Alloyed Personal Armour (Alien Alloys research. Cheap and tough, light too. No head protection)Prototype AT1 Powerarmour (Elerium & AA research, expensive, tough. Slows a little, increases strength a bit)Prototype ATF2 Powerarmour (Elerium, AA & A. Prop. research, expensive, tough, slows a little, increases strength a bit, flying capability) Alien Armours;Hardened Keratin (available from start, slows quite a bit, but very good vs. bullets, crap vs. lasers)Reflective Keratin (available shortly after humans get lasers, slows a bit, v. good vs lasers, crap vs. bullets)Alien Alloy Plating (available some time after start, good vs. lasers and bullets)Elerium Enhanced Armour (available with research, adds strength, reduces speed)Flight-Capable E.E. Armour (available with research. E.E Armour, with flight) Note; Keratin is basically your skin, nails, hair. As aliens don't wear armour, it makes sense that instead they could upgrade their biological "systems". Edited May 27, 2005 by Exo2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exo2000 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) Oh, and how is it being played? Are the players commanders, directing their forces, or are the players actual soldiers? EDIT: Added you to my MSN list, Bass. Edited May 28, 2005 by Exo2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kratos Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) Do you know how to program copybass? Or does this take programming? I don't quite understand what exactly is going on. Edited May 28, 2005 by Kratos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exo2000 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 d20 is a roleplaying system (pen and paper) that can be adapted to just about anything. So basically, Bass is busy adapting the d20 system to work for X-COM. And then making an RPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kratos Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) So he's writing it out first, right? Hmm...I have done that many times and never finished my roleplaying games...That reminds me that I need to finish one of my RPG's.

Exo2000 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 He has the story, he's just adapting the game "engine" to make an X-COM d20 possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kratos Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) Which game engine? The xcom one? Or another rpg engine? EDIT: oh D20, right? Edited May 28, 2005 by Kratos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CopyBass Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 Ok, I found a computer... And I'm glad you asked about the way it'll work online, Exo. I'm going to have that I make 20 people into Commanders (20 first members) and they can be either Aliens or Humans. After that, all new members are lv. 2 Civillian humans living in possible Terror Sites, able to be hired by any Organization owned by a commander, or if they make $500,000 off their 1d4x$1000 a day they may make their own. This makes it that Commanders can have soldiers with REAL personalities that can either choose to take their orders or do whatever they want. If there are no PCs (Player Characters) to hire, however, they may choose to hire a lv. 1 NPC (Non-Player Character) that will follow their orders indefinately. A commander can only have 7 NPCs at a time, and can only hire one if there are no Civillians who are willing to join them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 This sounds like fun! I already have the fan-made Fallout D20, and it is great! If you need the X-Com history, you can find it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
