It would be nice if we can have a way to get a code bomb by missions of some sort. I'm thinking of a Mission type like that Stat hack plust two other mission deals in order to trade it and to obtain a code bomb for players to use. THis should be easy to make and be added as new content SMILEY   Since it doesnt really help anything except for its cool looking animation.  we could really use it for some good RP gameplay as well. The Collector for this type of Code bomb missions should be in that Datamine Construct; so makes it harder to obtain it SMILEYSMILEYSMILEY.

I agree. This animation never gets used anymore except for its incarnation as the code pulse. And it's difficult to RP a code bomber anymore because nobody takes you seriously since you can't actually cause a detonation in game.

It could even be an actual luggable that could have a separate option on it to activate like the portable dishes have the upload option with. Once it detonates, it goes back to it's original location or you have to run the mission and do the trade again to get another.

I don't see how allowing us to use this animation could be that bad seeing as some of the others we already use could cause just as much lag. Plus there's control+f. So no big deal.

Any fresh mission types would be great.

Counter-Strike, anyone? I like this idea.

Code bombs would make for some neat org-vs-org play, since there's a way to set them off in multiple steps, and probably a way to disarm them in multiple steps, too. Maybe right-clicking on the bomb would let you choose one action or the other. It'd be kind of like tug-of-war. With explosives.

Sounds like a good idea but is pretty open to abuse.  You know we'd have Code Bombs going off at every event.

How is that different from people using their fire virus and headlamps, etc. etc. during events? And besides, we have control + f now. Gets too bad, turn it off.
