UI Local MapTimeUi ScaleFuzion Core

Local map in Power armor is Gigantic and very hard to read.



Local map in general is completely useless due to its limited area.Please make it more like Skyrim`s Local Map.It gives you the whole zone with useful information.When moving on an AMD FX 9370 and R9 390.I have found it to be unscale able.You cannot exactlly shrink the map or move it to the side screen as a minimization.You also do not have the current time or In game time.Making it hard to find the time of day or date.Can you please do something more inovative about this?



Fuzion cores are not lore friendly.At the rate of a Fuzion Core draink it is not lore friendly.If you sent off troops to fight in a WAR.You would be breefing them with you have 15 minutes of charge before your Fuzion core needs to be replaced.That is actually in game accurate.You run for about 5 minutes your core is drained.Fuzion cores are suppose to last 180 years.With the description in game.A Fuzion core should last in a power armor for over 8 player days.An over 3 week to a month In game.Depending.Please address this.If not remove the charge complete on Suits please.

Hate to be a Grammar Nazi, but you should really use spaces after ending sentences, as it makes it difficult to read. And its Fusion.. core.



There are plenty of fusion cores available as loot. If they lasted days or weeks in-game then the PA would be overpowered (more than it is already). I'm sure a mod is available to remove the fusion core limitation, and there is also a console to completely remove all difficulty in the game, too :P



The pipboy/PA interface is fine, its not supposed to be all encompassing. I don't know what you are talking in regards to time. The Date and Time (in-game) is displayed on your pipboy in the Map screen.

You're correct, but you have to realize that the Devs had to make game balancing choices. The PA is already potentially OP in some instances, so making the Fusion Cores last longer is pushing it. Besides, there really is plenty of Fusion Cores as long as you're not spamming PA usage.



However, if you want/need a lore explanation for the short lifespan, think of it this way...



Yes, the cores last for 200 years, but are they in peak condition after that time? Probably not. Like normal lithium or alkaline batteries, they don't last forever and will degrade over time, becoming defective. Anything Fusion related in real life degrades over time, it's one reason why people are worried about nuclear power plants and the potential effects they could have if they are not properly maintained or decommissioned.

I wear power armor around 95% of the time, I even build my settlements in power armor. I have never understood the complaint of lack of fusion cores. In my first play through, I had around 70-90 cores, and just stayed in my power armor except to craft things. My second play through, I have been staying around 18 to 30 cores and continue to just wear it, this is without the ammo or scientist perk, though I did get the the bobblehead for 10% more core life. It has been a complete non issue for me, I don't use mods and I play on normal difficulty. I also realized it is like a safety harness for tall builds, early in my first play through, I got about 5 stories up and fell off a ledge to my death, lost all of my work and a quest or two. Just my two cents, but I haven't run in to any issues with the mechanic.

Yeah i disagree.In the beginning title they explain.They took nuclear energy an made it work.So everything lasted longer.There was no need for more of them.They perfected it.In our world we perfected Light builbs.They are LED light bulbs an can last 38 years.We have Fuzion powered cars.



They are heavy machines that can run off the same power source for over 12 years.In this game.Your power core only last for 15 minutes.Its not so much as you can find power cores.It is that they make no sense.You would have a landfill of Fuzion cores.That is how weak they are.No military would consider something like that.useful.The military would sooner use Uranium bullets to kill their targets an civilians before that.

I want to include to the Beta.Can you please give me some info as of WHO I AM TARGETING.I want to make that clear. When i zoom in on someone with my scope.I need it to let me know that is a Raider or Settler in my targetted sights.I cant tell because they are not named.Again.A advantage of Skyrim.I knew who was in my crosshairs.



ALSO! Fix your crosshairs.On your weapons the crosshairs are on the left of the blood splater an your gun is on the right of the blood splaters.So your crosshairs are WAY WAY off.Please fix this issue.

You are missing the point, IT IS A GAME BALANCING ISSUE!!! It has nothing to do with lore and 'realism'. Absolute realism doesn't work in games. Power Armor would be completely unstoppable and since you get it at the beginning of the damn game, the game wouldn't be worth playing. The developers aren't going to change the balancing of the game because of realism.

How is this in any way related to the actual beta?



It's a feature request for some future update. You think it'll get noticed better or somehow get more importance if posted in the forum for feedback on the actual beta? Hm?



[edit]


Nvm. A moderator moved this to general discussion.
