Steampunk files

[Oneill_SFA]

So, I was looking through the game files and I found this:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ATLAS\ShooterGame\Content\steampunk_pack

In there were assets for steampunky stuff, which I liked, BUT........

Please tell me devs, you're not thinking about putting in airships, are you? That would quite literally destroy the game unless done with the mentality that they couldn't be armed and only used for transports. Even then a heavy crew with oil jars would wreck anything they came across and barely be able to be touched with conventional arms in game atm.

As a counter, or just a general suggestion, do steampunk submarines instead and give us underwater stuff to play with. It's a sea based game. Use it to the utmost you can. Let us build underwater bases, fight sea monsters, PvP seek and destroy, etc. Make it so they have to come up for air and refill tanks periodically so they won't be underwater forever. Make primitive torpedos that can be fired in pairs only. Give it a parascope. Give us a steampunk radar to find them and to navigate underwater.

This would be far better than airships that PvPers would potentially overarm and rain fire down on anything that moves with little to no real chance to counter attack.

Js, my opinion and I'd hope others would feel likewise. Community, comment on what you'd rather have and why.

Ridable Flyers of any kind are terrible imo.

But if... and its a big if.... these could only attack land bases & other steampunk fliers.... maaaybeee?... *he says without much conviction*

lol. if people could use it in a way not intended they will. we all already know that. which is why personally I'm very much against it regardless of how nifty it would be. Don't get me wrong, it'd be cool af, but far too much potential to be game breaking.

They're for the dev kit so you can make your own steam punk world, not gonna be added into the main game.

drops thursday. these folders were most definately part of the core game files as indicated by the path. They *could* be there as examples, but idk why they would go into so much depth for that. there were, what looked like, completed ideas waiting to be instituted. Boilers, pipes, wings, canopy windows, etc. Look through it and you'll se what I'm talking about.

That airship is straight from the Ark devkit too... Ark Steampunk mod uses it.

well the cost to fly it and building would probly be to costly to bebop around the map or it floats normaly in water but takes off but cost of flight is to expensive to fly forever so sail normaly and when get to location take off. i would so want to go Talespin don carnage and iron vulture
