NS2 Commander Chair

Nomadic

<div class="IPBDescription">Suggestion for Concept</div>Just wondering if anyone here watches Stargate Atlantis? Anyways, I don't know if this has been discussed but I had a suggestion for something that I think could be awesome for the NS2 Commander Chair. The following clip is from the first episode of Stargate Atlantis where the team is studying the chair that controls all of the ancient systems in the base. I was thinking that something similar could be adapted to NS2 and give the Commander Chair more of an empowering technological look. Check it out:

ehh, wtf? I think the simple basic use of the CC right now is good enough, and making it close to any Tv show, even a good one like that, will kill originality of NS

I wouldn't mind seeing a vamp up version of the CC, doesnt <i>need</i> to do anything different, just look like the technology has progressed somewhat.

making it look more futuristic and making it look like the atlantis chair are diffrent... im all for more futuristic, since NS2 takes place some years (X-Y, IDK) they both should look more adapted to each other.

So I suppose since NS 2 takes place some years into the future (which means that a lot of the fan-fictions are never going to have their change at being Canon) I would love to see the future gorgie <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

IT WILL HAS DA HORNS!

=) furture gorgy ftw!

Yes, the UW even said the game takes place, I think a decade, correct if wrong, ahead of NS, even though NS never had a story. Hmm, this makes me want the UW Team to add Map 'History' to every offical map.

We're redesigned the look of command station for NS2. I wouldn't call the new design more futuristic, but it is a lot more awesome and better reflects its importance.

It would be nice if the command chair was more like a model you stepped in, with large screens that would act as the command console... basically the same thing it is now only you would maybe see the location your in and outside things going on around you through transparent parts of the screen or gaps between certain things.

Once you step into the current command chair it makes you feel waaaaaAAAaaaaay too separated from where you really are. And its not immersive at all.

^ partially agree

Making the Command Chair Mobile?

It could move at half the speed of a marine, and the drawback would be that The Commander can't do anything while he is moving within the CC.

ryknow69

no

not that at all

Lol, mobile command chairs, awesome.

I want this in, if only so I can drive around in my brand new pimpmobile as the com.

*slaps forehead* thats not my suggestion, nore do I think it's Wy's idea either.


The CC should be a seat, with the commander exposed. You see normally, but, holographic pictures appear infront of you, the main one is the CC vision(RTS view or overhead of map with marines) The other small one on the right has all the build commands, RT's, TF's, IP's, etc. You can see what's happening around the command chair through the holo panels, but not so clearly, to put full focus on the RTS Screen infront of you.

If you need better clarrification, PM me <.<

No, I want my Mobile Commander Ca... I mean Chair.

It'd equel an Empires Rip-Off
