That sounds like a really cool idea! I hope you decide to go with that idea.

If anything make it completely human and like the imperial guard, but that's what you're already going for anyway.


Remember they have kasrkin tho... :p.

You can't have great factions without elite units.



Also, for the minigun you might want to have a looping sound instead of a firing sound, it would be less buggy that way.

Can we know if you're going to update it or not?

Personally I like this concept even better than DST.

Alright, DSMK2, maybe you've read the complaints thus far, but I haven't seen your response to some of them, so:

1. Bullets shouldn't loop around Grasslands TWICE. Heck, they shouldn't even loop around ONCE. If you fire it at a slightly upward angle on Grasslands and it passes back over your head, it's going too far. Tone down the bullet lifetime, please.

2. As noted, some sounds need work. The rifle actually sounds pretty good. It's probably my favorite of these weapons. The MG sounds okay. The heavy MG sounds way too weak and stunted. The firing sound could use a bit more lifetime and decay, like a bit of an echo. A single shot from the minigun sounds like a freaking small cannon, which is terrible when repeated as rapidly as it is. Find a shorter, more concise sound that just sounds like a normal rifle or MG shot. Remember, the point of a minigun isn't powerful shots, it's rapid shots. The individual shots are about the same as what comes out of regular infantry weapons.


And that's all I hafta say.

Bah I feel the minigun sounds right, something like how my DSTech Incinerator sounds differently on my desktop PC then on my laptop...

I'm under the impression that the mini gun sound is a continuous overlapping machine gun sound that's bloody loud. No idea for the heavy MG though.

As I said before, using a looping sound is tons less glitchy than using single firing sound.

Well, if you're talking about real life miniguns then it really depends. Sure, some are only 5.56mm in caliber, but the vehicle or aircraft mounted ones can be up to .50 cal or 30mm. So it's the author's choice to make it powerful or not. Anything's possible in CC.

Though I also think the minigun is overpowered.

Dude, the SMG I last remembered flew around the Grasslands X Wrap frequently.

Just because that happens doesn't mean it should.


I mean i'm pretty sure data doesn't want us to get killed by our own bullets.
