Karate Sims?

I was reading that little event with the Unlimit that spawned...

Get this...

Karate sims?!?

We can only create these lowly Akido sims who often simply shoot their rifles... so does this mean we are getting an upgrade in the future?

Or is there a way to make Karate, or even better... Kung Fu sims spawn?

Karate Simes... nice idea but not exactly necessary. Try powerboosting an Aikido Sime and buff it with Proxy Technician or Daemon Boost 2.0 Aura... they can easily pwn an equal leveled player then SMILEY

Well the point is giving us the option to have sims that use Karate moves instead of Akido.

What could be done is like the hacker, coder, ravager, and vector skills is that if you load up Sim 5.0 you end up loading several skills.

For example:

Load up Sim 5.0

In your abilities list you have the following "abilities" loaded.

Karate Sim
Akido Sim
Kung Fu Sim
Handgun Sim
Rifleman Sim
SMG Sim

Then you can place on your hotbar what ever sim you want to have/use.

As usual trying to run more than one sim at once results in the current sim being killed and a new one made.

It would add in more strategy for coders, and perhaps more people will use it as a result?

I use Code Shaper (both Proxy AND Utility) skills as my primaries already. I guess SOE won't introduce Fire Arms Simulacra because that wld require a few totally new trees. The Proxy and Utility skills are made especially for Hacker and Melee Simes: They buff Viral or Melee stats for them. For Fire Arms Simes u wld need to develop a tree that buffs a Sime's Ballistic stats

As a Code Shaper I'd welcome the possibility to make Karate or Kungfu Simes. Non-Code Shapers that wld have to fight these Simes probably wont: Aikido is the weakest of the MA trees. If you powerboost a Karate Sime it wld do incredible damage; or if u use Proxy Technician Aura to buff a Kungfu Sime it wld have an unbeatable Accuracy of like 195 (at LVL 50). That wld not be good for game balance I guess.

As much as I wld like it SOE won't make Code Shapers the gods of the Matrix LOL

Sweetness! We got them finally... still would have preferred being able to select which one we make... but improvements over time right?
