Power down crate

[Ryz]

A friend just mentioned that you had a 'Power shutdown' crate in the old Renegade. It would be cool (and I guess not too hard to create) if this is implemented in the game. Could also help on stalemate levels like field.

Anyone second thoughts about this?

That just makes Renegade even more RNG based and less coordination based. The power down crate was also not originally I'm Renegade, it was added later.

I always thought it functioned well in the old Renegade, but it really was randomly based. The Smoke Grenade at least now does an intentional, tactical, localized version of PowerDown.

True, but the fact is that coördination is difficult sometimes cause players do not want to play together. In these cases (and after a certain amount of time) such a crate would be welcome!

Its good for stalemate games where you need something random like this to get shit moving.

What if certain crates were only possible to obtain after a certain amount of time? Because i do agree with epicelite here, the game sometimes needs an extra stimulant to prevent excessive stalemates. If such crates were introduced after 30-60 minutes, they could have a positive effect on the game. Same goes with spy crates and stuff.

Yeah and ION storms also, would make a game easier to break at 2/3 of it.

I think I started working on something similar this at one point as a mod to toy with, but never actually finished it (never got the "power back up" part done).
