Name: nuclear dampener projector

Description: ok gregorousT and an old 1970's rpg inspired this idea also this is not hard science there is going to be a lot of hand waving you have been warned. it is a new tool like the mining laser for mining and averting nuclear disaster the way it works is it projects a special energy field that can increase or decrease the nuclear stability of matter subject to the field. heres the boiled down for lazy folk

mining mode: a focus dampener projection causing a small amount of matter(like pin head to grapefruit size depending on duration of exposure) to destabilize and explode
containment mode: a wide focus projection that attempts to increase the nuclear stability in matter

[mining mode]+[block]+[time]=[an explosion dependent on the type of block and how long you were holding the trigger]near infinite sizes of explosion for all you mining needs
[containment mode]+[nuke/tnt]+[time]=[a delay of a nuke/tnt's detonation the point that it is eventually neutralized] thwart the griefer with science!
[containment mode]+[reactor]+[tine]=[a reduction in heat and eu/t while still preserving efficiency and cooling]useful for a generating more power at the cost of Steves attention or as an attempt to prevent a meltdown

now containment mode is relatively self explanatory but i need to explain how mining mode works in more depth this isn't the crazy nuke beam it sounds like (if you want a real nuke beam suggest a particle accelerator) simply put some blocks will have an upper limit to how big a boom they can make this corresponds with how valuable it is for example cobble would barely equal a ghast fireball or less while uranium ore or diamond ore if you spent a whole lappack on them could almost be 1/4 as powerful as a nuke. the beam can also shut down portal blocks and has no effect on "tech" blocks like cf or reinforced stone.

recipe:???

this was born out of a joke and it turned in to a more sensible attempt at a suggestion but i will understand if it is rejected

Quote from GregoriusT

Ahhh!, you suggest EE-Transmutation-Mechanics for an IC²-Tool!!!

No!, we don't need an Universal-Tool, its just too Overpowered for IC² (like QSuit/Lappack/Jetpack-combination), and if the Toolbox would work (in a way that is more intelligent) then we are all able to use that instead of an Metamorphic-Super-Universal-Tool.

What comes next: Nuke+Mininglaser???

dude i wasn't saying that is how it would work i was saying it would fit with ic's higher technology you have to remember EE(which is not cheating ) is a 100% efficient 1for1 exchange of matter and energy this is not it would be like a mass fab on a stick spitting out disposable toolheads the energy you put in would not equal the energy you get out. maybe we don't need a universal tool but only a nerf happy masochist wouldn't want one on the inside. so i say if people want universal tools that don't help them kill things i say do it but make them pay for it(possibly through the nose they will be happy either way)

as for the mining-nuke-LAZOR! i have this to say "TO THE SUGGESTION SUB-FORUM! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!"*smashes face into the door on the way out*

since it is structurally superior it should break the lily pads it runs in to

+1
we have the technology to turn energy into matter and to take matter apart and put it back together so why not?

+1 love more uses for carbon fiber

You came here because i said that it happened or?

Oh and now he is in the Void. (banned)

after you mentioned it you probably heard a distant voice shouting "to the support forum!" *car door slam* "SCREEAAACH!VROOOOOM!!!"

when is the update for mc 1.2.5 coming out ?

the highest noob crimes of the ic forums
1. not reading all the stickies before your first post
2. asking for a release date as a result of not following rule 1
3. suggesting lightning rods be added as a result of not following rule 1
4. suggesting most other previously denied suggsetions as a result of not following rule 1
are you beginning to see the pattern here?

Quote from CiderCraft

Agree on changing title, something as simple as "Suggestion: Cider brewing" will grab attention and instantly get the point across.

Possible option, use forestry apple juice, unless it's not installed (or not wanted) then use macerated apples. Also, true cider is nothing but apple juice, water (max 10%) and yeasties. No sugar unless the apples didn't generate enough that year.

apple juice was originally planed as a new beverage i believe cider made it to the todo list cause forestry already had apple juice

Quote from Telperion

It shoul be OP? Is that a fact? Why? Sounds more like an opinion. An opinion without a valid explanation.

i wasn't directing that comment at you the other guy was floating around the forum shouting "QSUIT OP!" i was simply countering his claims

Quote from Telperion

My suggestion wasn´t about buffing or nerfing the armor. I don't like simple upgrades, i wanted to suggest a choice, something different.
This was no simple "make it better" or "make it weaker" or "make it realistic" suggestion, it was a "give me a choice"-suggestion (both of them).

perhaps i didn't give your suggestion enough thought so you basically want a configurable suit? like how vanilla armor is configurable with enchantments?

note: the views expressed do not necessarily represent the veiws of the devs or other people who matter
[begin rant]
we don't have rules about repeat suggestions for you to ignore them delete your post and put it in an active tread of the same subject or risk being flamed, chewed out, thread locked, or banned. one of the worst crimes of the suggestion forum is starting threads on the same subject to what is already on the first page i don't care if you know its already there.

as for config I personally don't think its worth the devs time that they could be spending adding content ic2 is not a pvp mod the suits are meant to give you total protection from the dangers of minecraft. the devs are already working on something to appease pvp users so sit down before you hurt yourself.
[end rant]

+1 though it might be on the todo already
also don't forget to add [suggestion] to your forum title

the compedium is err... out dated. if you actually read it you would have read that you MUST run a search before posting
also it doesn't matter how many times its been rejected a rejection is a rejection this will not happen

some people have a prefer mice over key boards so if this was used for a "clicky" way to send a message i thing it could find a foot hold

Quote from Shalashalska

Exactly. Qsuit needs to be made WAAAY more expensive. It's too cheap ATM. And too OP, once you get one and fully charge it, you are invincible forever.

and OP is the way it should be. whats the number people have been throwing around for a qsuit speed run 20 hours? if you ask me if it takes you less than a week to play that much minecraft you deserve to be tortured by the guilt of what ever exploits and plot holes you discover along the way.

and another thing there is no law that says every thing must be balanced this isn't a game of checkers this is a tech mod in an open ended sand box some time technology is developed that is just plain overwhelmingly superior (inter-planetary warships, mobile suits, gundams, nukes, repeating firearms)

and finally don't get your hopes up that qsuits will get nerfed ever the devs plan to make an addon for pvp that adds weapons that make qsuits easier to kill and thats it. no cost increase, no shortend battery life, no reduction in protection so just deal with it :evil:

so to recap
1. any squad of monkeys with nano sabers is capable of killing a q-suit/nano-suit user and steal his suit
2. suits NEED at least a mfe or mfsu to charge so if you evolve beyond monkey level tactics you can starve q-suits and nano-suits by removing/heavily guarding all advance power storage blocks
3. best way to clear out mfe's and mfsu's is to use nukes. pvp is war don't sugar coat it if you can't handle your life's work getting cratered by a cheep noob with a nuke and a lever cause you were to cheep and lazy to make your base out of reinforced stone you shouldn't be playing pvp and as a result not complaining about suits doing what they are intended for.
4. q-suits are god mode that is intentional don't be mad you can't take them out with stupid brute force use your brain, lay traps, lag out the server, fight dirty, or get a suit yourself
5. or hand out nano suit kits to every one to level the playing field

EDIT: it doesn't matter if its expensive or not. if it is its balanced vs. its awesome power. if its not then the playing field is level and your users just suck at minecraft(no offence)

nukes already push the limit of lag IMO

correct me if i'm wrong but can't you just disable the q-suit entirely with some fancy server plugin? personally i think good tactics can allow a lesser faction to beat qsuit users. simply put destroy every thing more advanced than a batbox your foe maybe explosion proof but not his infrastructure so nuke him and remove all mfe+ from your bases for when he raids you for power eventually the suits will drain and will be useless. also realize ic isn't meant for pvp alblaka is working on an addon to add more serious weapons to balance against qsuits

EDIT:the computercraft turtle makes a good nuke delivery system by the way
EDIT: OH! and foam bombing! just spray them with cf foam. the qsuit and nano armor don't protect from block suffocation

Quote from GregoriusT

Hmmm... Power from Mobs? Nice, but Steve can already use manned Power for his Base (Watermills).

thats different watermills are eu at the cost of Steve's time, attention, and sanity this would basically be a food powered generator with Steve or a mob doing the converting especially pet dogs we could power the world with their hyperness.

Quote from GregoriusT

Do you think Steve is too fat?

no he's just a skinny weakling that can't lift himself over a 2m high wall with out a stack of phone books.

-1 for wall-o-text i had difficulty sifting through this to find the actual suggestions
solars are the way they are for balance reasons and are not likely to change in any way that makes them more powerful if you need power go nuclear
