category Ideas for Hulls and Overdrives!

[Undying 6]

I have noticed that players do not receive additional experience when paladin's overdrive is active and healing teammates. Under normal circumstances, healing teammates through Isida, nanotech shells, healing emitters, and/or the mechanic drone grants extra experience. Since paladin's overdrive provides healing support to teammates, I believe it should reward experience in the same way.

So basically dict mech isida to now pala isida mech

change hopper overdrive with something else. reason obvious 90% of players who can afford to ahve it maxed uses it to catch golds, basically leaves minimal chance for other hulls. kills all the fun. or atleast disable the overdrives is it hard?

[cwkow 1]

Hello everyone,

I would like to talk about the interaction between the Dictator Overdrive with the Oracle drone.

Whenever you use Dictators Overdrive with the Oracle Drone, you currently get the crit chance, mine and repair. 

My suggestion at the beginning was to get all the boosts the Overdrive gives you, but that would mean that it bypasses the Drone ability making the Dictator OP.
But what if it gave you at least one of the boosts? Or maybe a timer reset?
For example, what if I was using damage boost, and since it's running out soon, I pop my Overdrive to reset the timer and can have it for longer?

I feel like it's kind of unfair that the Dictators Overdrive is being held back by the Oracle Drone in the low ranks.

[Tekken 470]

I have been slowly working on this topic for months, some of the files sits in my computer not used so I decided to upload all my ideas here.

I do know that there is already Thread in this forum dedicated for Overdrives but due to complexity of my suggestion I would like to ask moderators for little leniency and thus request to not merge this topic immediately so more players could see it. Eventually I am fine with merging. Thank you  

 

I do know that devs already stated that they do not intend to change overdrives in future, but by that time they announced that in one of V-Logs I had already finished all my ideas and It would be pity to waste them without presenting. So -  I want to present some potential ideas for new overdrives.

 

How I imagine this new overdrives to work would be similar to augments, each hull with 2 options to chose from, depending on strategy or individual gamestyle. 

 

                                                                                

Each overdrive could be given as a reward for fulfilling some achievements with particular hull. -> Long term content

Either something similar to phoenix augments, for example reaching 500K or 1M points to unlock them. Or simply by completing some challenging and serious missions (Team Contracts) 

                                                                   

                                                                                      Brand New Overdrives for every Hull

I appreciate any feedback, I do know that this is peak no-life from my side, I worked on this for quite some time and I do have very slim hopes that devs will even consider to put any effort into creating new Overdrives. That's why I tried to link new ODs to resemble already existing ODs in-game mechanic so devs have already some foundation they can use. I tried to create each new OD to be somehow similar to old one (exceptions were made ofc)

All this was created just from the passion to the game and big thank you to everyone who read whole topic. 

[NikmanGT 4,688]

I don't know if they might consider an OD rework or not, but I love these updated visuals.

thank you , rather than rework I wish we could have options to choose from, changing ODs like augments, each hull with 2 options. 

 

This could be very good long term content for players,  imagine if they created some new achievement system or set of hard missions to complete and new OD could serve as reward 

[Wry 132]

I respect the effort. 
It is hard to judge the parameters accurately without in-game testing and how each OD will perform and work in different situations, but overall I do think that ODs do need big/new changes other than tweaking and tuning the parameters, specially some ODs like dictator's. I highly doubt they will do big changes to the ODs but your ideas can be a starting point if they do, although I bet some of the visuals will be hard to implement.

Thank you for feedback , yes some new visuals seems like biggest challenge for devs, but if they wants some new end game content or long term content this could be a right step, to unlock additional ODs for each hull.  

I do agree with you that some ODs needs buff/rework, dictator OD is perfect example 

[FailArmy 3]

I actually have to admit that I like this idea so much I'd like to see that in the game. Good job, Tekken! I do hope it gets some attention from dev team.

New Hull Idea: Phantom

 

Overview

 

Phantom is a medium-sized hull designed for tactical and stealth-based gameplay. It allows players to reposition, flank enemies, and escape dangerous situations without being overpowered in direct combat.

 

Hull Class

• Size: Medium

• Armor: Medium

• Speed: Medium-High

• Weight: Medium

 

Overdrive:

 

When the Overdrive is activated, Phantom becomes highly transparent for 8 seconds, making it very difficult for enemies to detect.

 

During the Overdrive:

 

• Phantom receives 65% less damage from enemy attacks.

• Phantom does not appear on the minimap.

• A slight visual distortion remains visible, allowing attentive players to notice it.

• Firing a weapon briefly makes Phantom more visible.

 

Counterplay:

 

Hornet’s Overdrive can detect and reveal Phantom, removing its stealth advantage and allowing enemies to track its position more easily.

 

Advantages:

 

• Does not appear on the minimap during Overdrive.

 

• Receives 65% damage reduction during Overdrive.

 

• Excellent for flanking and surprise attacks.

 

• Useful for escaping dangerous situations.

 

• Encourages tactical and strategic gameplay.

 

• In the case of Overdrive, he can penetrate the tanks of the allied and the enemy

 

Disadvantages:

• Lower armor than heavy hulls such as Mammoth and Titan.

• Can be revealed by Hornet’s Overdrive.

• Becomes easier to spot when firing.

• Very long Overdrive cooldown.

 

Balance Features:

 

• Overdrive Duration: 8 seconds.

• Damage Reduction: 75%.

• Cooldown: 300 seconds.

• Stealth is not complete invisibility; observant players can still detect movement at close range.

• Objective capture speed remains unchanged during Overdrive.

 

Battlefield Role:

 

Phantom is a medium-sized stealth hull focused on infiltration, positioning, and tactical decision-making. It rewards skilled players who use timing and map awareness effectively while remaining balanced through its long cooldown and clear counterplay.

 

[NikmanGT 4,688]

Earlier I would have rejected this Idea due to its fictitious nature and seemingly different gameplay from so called Tanki atmosphere, but since the introduction of hovers and Teleport grenade, why not?
