Size of Equipment: Pistol, Backpack

(1/3) > >>

HaJo:
I think it is strange that the backpack can hold a rocket-launcher, but
is too small to fit 2 pistols. Also, a pistol-clip is bigger than a grenade. 8)

I suggest to resize the 9mm-pistols to 2x2, and pistol-clips to 1x1.

Bandobras:
The pistol is just _huge_. Desert Eagle, or something. Almost the size of an SMG. I suggest, for simplicity, both visual and game-play, keep all holster weapons of the same size (and all other weapons of another fixed size).

It is too big (Pistol+Ammo : 3x2 + 1x2) for its tiny firepower.
A Smg needs the same storage space, but is much more useful,
i.e. one secondary blast with  20 TU usually kills an alien.

So, to justify carrying a pistol, it has to offer some advantage,
e.g. using less space. I don't consider money an issue here...

inzenir:

2 pistols, each in one hand an my soldier becomes wanabee gangsta :D but u need to be realy close to kil something, but feeling is realy good :D

I can get the clip to 1x1 size...

... but leaves you in need to reload and with one clip less. Also, akimbo pistols are almost as powerful, as inzenir points out...

I does --- it is one-handed, so you can carry a grenade, knife, irgoggles, etc. in you other hand. Though with so cheap wielding from holster this is not a big advantage, indeed... Or is it? Ideas for other advantages of one-handed weapons, or just of the pistol are welcome.

How is it important? If it is, perhaps I can make all pistols 2x2...

Sure.
