Proposal: Synchronization gear #350

Closed JayCubby-enwiki closed 3 weeks ago

JayCubby-enwiki commented 3 weeks ago

Inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization_gear

Link movement speed to fire-rate, or perhaps damage to fire rate (or vice versa).

JayCubby-enwiki commented 3 weeks ago

Oh, and Higgs mechanism could lock velocity only for the duration of firing (and resume the pre-firing velocity). That'd be neat

landgreen commented 3 weeks ago

I've looked into this mechanic, but I've avoided linking fire rate to movement speed, because you learn to jump to increase your velocity.

kgurchiek commented 3 weeks ago

What if it's only based on horizontal velocity?

landgreen commented 3 weeks ago

yeah I considered this, I'd have to adjust the 3 current SPEED tech to be horizontal as well, and I just have more interesting things to work on.
