Hey guys! So I was thinking there could be magnets in starbound that enemies could carry, to suck your guns away from you, they can be used to attract iron/steel items to you, or you can go online and annoy the heck out of your friend. Just a thought.
I believe if I understand it correctly as you described, people would be able to steal others super rare guns with just a puny magnet. No I don't believe that would be such a good idea. Though I would really like to have a magnet block of some sorts, think of it like a trap. If someone with iron like armor or such walks over the block, they get stuck or slowed down! Or when a monster dies close to it, it attracts the iron/steel items to it. To have a a magnet as an item though, don't know really. I can think of some situations it would be cool (think about sticking yourself to another player with iron/steel armor and just let them carry you over the lands) and some situations it would be... bad...
Don't mind my none sense. I should have provided a more detailed critique in the first place. I like your idea, but I do not like the idea of weapons being pulled off of characters. I think you should develop it a bit more, think about what scenarios it would make fun or challenging. Don't doubt yourself, if you feel like you have something to contribute, by all means chime in! That's what this forum is for, right?
I really don't like the idea of weapons being pulled away either. Magnets could be a trap so if you get stuck it zaps you or something and the only way to be unstuck is to take off your armor temporarily or find the magnet and mine it out.
easy if you are wearing iron/steel type armor, the more magnet blocks in range the slower you will go as if there was more gravity and if you want you can take of the armor to move more freely and better yet they could be electric magnets so you can turn them on and off
