Uber Skates

Weapon Details

Hand-held Weapon or Suit Upgrade?:Suit upgrade

What does it look like?:Metalic like Skate(adjustable to Users size) with small blue dots going along the back heels. Two small(like your Index Finger) curved and jaged spikes on the front(yet they curve up then forward. Like this 7), and metallic wheels that pop out when button on the sides of the skates are pressed. Small black balls on the backs of the heels also.

What does it do?:Gives the User more speed and versitility. Can ride up walls by using the two spikes on the front of the Skates. It also has a small unseen motor for added speed. Can use a Anti-Gravitational lift when heels are clicked together, and the balls detach from heels and place themself on either side of the middle, giving the user a floating like ability.

Strengths:More Speed, Ride up walls, Spikes at the end for feet attack, Anti-Gravitational floating.

Weaknesses:Heavy, semi-hard to get used to(Like regular skates would be), Makes noise when used, Anti0Gravitational floating only lasts for Two-Minutes, then has to recharge for Five.

What is your weapon distribution dependant on?:100-Points

These seem kinda lame for a 100 pt weapon, maybe if they had antigravity abilites, or some sort of kinetic amplifier built in them or something they would be better.

I thought about adding the Anti-Gravity one, but felt it would be too much.

I'm not quite understanding how the spikes help it to ride up walls... it seems to me like they would just drag along or something. Maybe you should have the spikes come out of the wheels, like cleats or something? If you did a burn out on something, you'd fuck it up so hard... lol

Also, is the motor controlled with your mind? Or what? How does it know when to give you juice?

The spikes are actually meant to be on the sides of the tip, so they'd spin rapidly as he acends. The motor acts the same way as the suit does. Focus on it and it'll activate.

Well, I still think the spikes would be better coming out of the wheels, personally (which I would change if I ever ended up using this in my own project), but your explanation makes sense, so I'm satisfied with that part. I would also probably charge suit % for making the suit activate (aka Rage Mode), but that could definitely be worth it in the right circumstances. If any other mod chose to use these, though, I can't guarantee what they'd decide to do with the specs. I'm going to go ahead and accept this, but I'd like for you to reply in this thread just so I know you've read this. You won't be able to view this thread once I accept it.

The only real problem with this weapon is finding someone that would really benefit from them Got any agressive skaters planned in the near future? lol

As far as the spikes go, you could just have them fixed to the toes so that you could dig them into a surface and effectively run up a wall. With the 7 shape, there probably wouldn't be any problem with them scraping the ground during movement. They would also add a little damage to any round kicks or swing kicks. That was pretty much the picture I had in my head when I first read the post, thought that was what you were going for.

[KßзŁŁ]

See, when I read your thing, the spikes on the toes were what I thought of at first, too. It just doesn't seem like a logical way to go about wallclimbing, tho, imo. I pictured like a 6 inch drill on the front of the skate, and it seems to me like tons of spikes on the wheels would be a much better way to go about finding grip, since they can also roll over enemies and stuff. If these end up getting used, I think they would be really awesome if they had spikes on the wheels, personally.

[XenoD]

Oh well, its' fixed.
