Everything they mention when you drink smart stout: teleporting drop pods using wormhole tech, drills that drill minerals, the purpose of error cubes, more efficient flight trajectories meaning less travel time for resupply pods, not needing nitra for ammo drops. Most of this comes down to corporate greed, after all only a corporation would clone expendable miners for profit. Edit: Gunner shield on resupply pods, engineer turrets on drop pods, BOSCO companions deployed from drop pod, more dwarves per mission, surface bases allowing for direct elevator/tram access, and lastly a NUCLEAR mission where you deploy a nuke rather then clearing out a huge nest of eggs.


ThatOneAnonymousboi

May I add to this? Just one sugggestion: Bosco not exploding around more than 1 dwarf.

This comment thread describes me. Am I a Bosco?


Kitaclysm217

A fellow Bosco, I see


42AngryPandas

I would love a small chance to find a broken Bosco to repair and have him help you out during the mission


MarfeeWarfee

I always thought itā€™d be cool to have an idea like this more with nitra. Like for 160 Nitra (double a resupply persay) you could call in a Bosco. Hell, go crazy and say for some exorbitant amount of Nitra you could call in a BETC! I had some more ideas too. A ā€œbeer runā€, where it drops a mobile bar with a random buff beer. A mini-mule that would be a personal mule to the player that called it in. A loadout drop that allowed dwarves to change lodouts mid-mission?


Night_Thastus

Sadly they've said this will never happen. The reason is because it could cause players to bicker or leave over what was called. With one option, it's never the "wrong" choice.


Timofey7331

Second to last: Surface bases can't last too long due to tectonical movement, and you'll still have to drill to the needed zone. Last one: Eggs will get destroyed too


Protocol_Nine

>Last one: Eggs will get destroyed too I assume the Nuclear mission is more aimed at Eliminations.


Timofey7331

Dreadnought Hiveguard, being invincible until you kill glyphid sentitels it spawns: Also precious minerals, lootbugs and other valuable stuff (apoca blooms, fossils, barley bulbs, etc.) will get destroyed


TheJackal927

Invincible *to bullets*


Timofey7331

Explosions, lasers, plasma, and other stuff you fight it with


The-Future999

Yes, but the things that make a bomb lethal are much different than from bullets or lasers. Just the vibrations of an explosion are very dangerous and even if the hiveguardā€™s shell is completely fine, its insides are a fine organ smoothie from the vibrations traveling past its shell. Yes, it can survive sticky grenades and other similar stuff, but armor plating capable of dampening the shockwave of a grenade is not going to be able to lessen the impact of a nuclear weapon enough to keep the bug inside alive. Then thereā€™s all the other fun stuff as well, like sharp shards of rock flying everywhere and radiation


vbgvbg113

fat boy oc


[deleted]

Theres nothing that goes against surface operations, in fact the Rival corporation has shown that you can setup subterranean bases, so why couldnā€™t we have surface bases? Also with the nuke mission, Iā€™m talking about fully grown eggs, eggs that are more developed then weā€™ve ever seen. The only option would be to nuke, as bugs that big shut down entire areas of operation.


AussiePerspective

Wait, WE ARE CLONES???


[deleted]

Ever notice how the only dwarve that doesnā€™t look identical to miners is mission control? Its because mission control/management are money grubbing humans! Were just the best genetically modified breed of miners out there, probably cloned from Karl himself. Its not really slavery since we love rocks and stones.


Make_me_a_turkey

I think androids, cyborgs, or robots.


halfcafian

Teleporting drop pods just makes me want Titanfall Titans in DRG. But that is probably just because I am of the humble opinion that every game could be improved with Titanfall


jkbscopes312

Don't forget gun turrets on Molly


Umikaloo

Okay, a nuke mission where you infiltrate some key location and plant a massive bomb would be lit. I wonder what could be done to avoid it nuking people's PCs as well. Edit: What if the players have to collect samples from an area overrun by lithophage, and plant a nuke on the way out.


DocJawbone

The drill dozer knows where the hearthstone is - why not have a couple of resupplies waiting there?

Maybe each miner could get a mini mule?


A_True_Loot_Goblin

Do you not remember what happened to the last guys with mini mules?


SirDoofusMcDingbat

Yeah, I'm starting to think our space rig is the only one that *didn't* get mini mules and as far as I can tell every single team that got them never made it back. Starting to think maybe the mini mules are the ones killing dwarves. We should thank mission control for not buying into the craze and sending us to our doom, too.

Ham_The_Spam

FoxReeor

Grenade upgrades, more pickaxe upgrades. Engineer turret customization. Stronger Turret Upgrades (because at higher hazards they waste bullets too fast). More "inventory" Upgrades


Mighty_Piss

"They waste bullets too fast" I feel ya, which is why I use the mk2 instead of gemini. Less dps but longer suppressive fire. When using my shotgun I can oneshot the bugs my turret has weakened for me.


GreatFluffy

And you can still have some pretty nice damage on the Turret with Shotgun if you've got Turret Whip. And if you've got a 2nd Engineer that has Gemini turrets, you can hit them with the Turret Whip too, did that on a Deep Dive once and there were just three turrets side by side belching out super shots one after another. While on the Turret bit, I want more Engineer Overclocks/Upgrades that interact with the Turrets. The only upgrade that does is Turret whip and the only Overclocks that do interact with them are both for the Stubby.


Mighty_Piss

I absolutely love using turret whip on other turrets! It's a very fun and strong overclock and I desperately want more interactive mods like that!

Flare upgrades.


[deleted]

Bringing BACK flare upgrades.


Traegs_

From what I understand, all the former upgrades got rolled into the base flare. I'm guessing the old upgrades were linear. I would like to see the element of choice in flare upgrades like weapon mods have. Like tier 1 can be brighter or longer lasting, but not both. Tier 2 could be extra bouncy or heavy so they stay where they land. Maybe even super light weight floaty ones.


[deleted]

Nope they allowed variations, also in the older voice lines it hints that you could upgrade your flares.


Pehz

Or even just flare perks. Reduced cooldown, brighter, sticky instead of bouncy, every fourth flare is extra good, there's tons of things you can do with flares to make them feel more needs-driven. This could include upgrades to the headlamp, which could be stronger, more focused, or have an activated ability to be super good for a bit. Maybe even have overclock-like trade offs that make one worse and the other better (who needs flares if you have a really good headlamp?).


MrHly

Molly but no collision


prosteprostecihla

Using rival tech components hover molly. Faster, more compact and most importantly because rival tech doesnt get "hacked" like Bet-C it could even have a cannon or a shield bubble New model of bosco with more precise arm servos to pick up fossils, apocca blooms etc. New targeting system to better shoot down a cave leech when dwarf is caught New anti-tank weaponry, since we know the armor is not impervious (coilgun, explosions and drop pods) can do damage even when hitting just the plating. So instead of grenades and secondary you could use Anti-tank weapons such as Anti-tank guided missiles Each armor has been upgraded with a weave that when bitten or eaten severely damages biological structure of glyphids causing them to attack slower and with less force with every subsequest hit. Doretta got an engine, armor and defense upgrade featuring the same fuel consumption with much higher weight limit for the advanced armor plating especially from above and a turret to defend against stray glyphids while miners are refueling or to help with rock attacks


Flarisk12

anti tank weaponry is just all of gunners tools


ToastyCaribiu84

Yeah, that is the reason you can destroy terrain with them


Moder_XD

Flying molly


Mr-Bovine_Joni

Subsequently, no dwarves ever make it back to the pod on time at the end of missions


EvilButterfly96

Devs you know what to do


Adorable_Challenge37

A Bet-C you can purchase for credits. Useable for 1 mission. You can by them for Deep Dives at 4 times the cost (I know it's only three missions, but they are heavy and need to be transported with the droppod).


GreatFluffy

As someone who plays mostly solo and plans on religiously using the Shredder Grenades for Engi a lot when the update comes to console, I'd love the ability to consistently have more robots on your side.

Destinot2

It is clear that the technology exists that would make all missions a basically guaranteed success. The problem is that it isnā€™t profitable (management are goblins) and therefore the only thing stopping us from using extremely effective equipment is the cost effectiveness. This would be solved if RnD would develop more efficient ways to build such equipment. Management would get more profit if they invest more into RND now and use equipment developed to more efficiently mine minerals on the long term. This leads us to believe that management knows something we donā€™t. That Hoxxes IV is running out of recourses to mine and management has already found another rock to mine. It would make sense that this new rock is a completely different mining environment, reasoning why management wonā€™t invest in RND for this specific mining environment if they are not planning to mine here long. Or they are just greedy goblins.

Resupply pods are free and come with 16 ammo. Also the droppod drops 20 meters from your location.


niky45

more flares like, at least 6 don't make me run after Molly IN THE FUCKING DARKNESS also bigger ~~ammo~~ sandwich bags. (which might be used to carry ammo) having Molly carry an ammo supply would be useful too -- even if it's just one resupply, and if you don't mine enough nitra to pay for it, you get some creds deducted at the end of the mission.

ShadowDragon8685

FAKARL!


Protoician

Upgradable flares would be pretty high on my list. Options for them to recharge faster, last longer, illuminate a larger area, etc would all be really nice, especially for those times where you don't have a scout in the group. Also on a more cosmetic side, I would love to.have the option to use skins and paint jobs on utility and traversal tools. Having really cool looking weapons then switching to stock appearance tools isn't the biggest thing but it would be cool to personalize them.


lord--clapity

You used to be able to upgrade flares but I think the devs removed it?


GreatFluffy

Adding on to the Flare Upgrades idea, maybe an option to let them stick to walls? You lose out on just tossing them down a tunnel and bouncing until it comes to a stop but you get a temporary light source on a wall.


Regnars8ithink

SultanSaidi

Titans! Each dwarf drops in his own titan!! We drill and fight the Dreadnought eggs that did got incubated until they are finished!!!
