Archwing Content Suggestions

[Black_Lister]

 

As a major fan of Zone of the Enders, Gundam, and other large mecha-trope sources, I like how the Archwing opens the doors for a sort of miniaturized version of them all, with similar abilities. As I was watching Devstream 36 I saw the shields used by the Archwing as giant circles in front of the craft. I was reminded of Gundam 00's Trans-Am quantum particle rings.

 

 

                                                                                            (And here...)

 

In lieu of Gundam themed abilities, I thought it would be cool to have shield bits that physically intercept incoming shots...

 

                                            ...or "fangs (autonomous gun drones)" that are released and seek out targets.

                                                                       

 

Also, being a massive fanatic for Zone of the Enders would it be possible to have some "spiritual copies" of some of the iconic Orbital Frames' vector traps? Like Anubis' many seraphim-wing-like structures (along with it's imperialistic styled stance)...

 

...or of Nephtis' hex-bladed ring on her back (which arguably could be turned into a new throwing weapon for your Waframe, or an Archwing version of the Glaive).

 

What do you guys think? Yea? Nay?

How bout warframe stays original?
Because archwing is probably going to be the most original part in warframe after it gets added...

I'm not suggesting we port the content to be EXACTLY like what I suggested. I'm saying that these are design themes that are ALREADY similar, or could very easily fit in the Warfame art resume. Naturally, it would be Warframe through and through, and therefor original. I could have easily named off these aspects without using examples. You're only saying "keep it original" because I used examples which best described what I'm thinking.

 

I DID mention Zone Of the Enders themed gear, yes. But DE already confirmed on the Devstream that that was kind of what they were going for.

Archwing is most probably (will be) Corpus made. I doubt Tenno will make any significant diffrence in between Ordinary Corpus design and Tenno one. No Tenno energy focused gear on it.

looks cool but its not warframe

Well, that's kinda disproved by the lore attached to Mag Prime, which indicated that the Archwing hails back to at least the war with the Sentients.

Also I believe devs talked about how the warframe powered the archwing which is why we can use our normal powers.

Personally I like Idolo the best, that orbital frame had cool powers that being said Warframe should stay original in their approach. It s fine to get inspiration from other source material but let them keep it distinctly Warframe.
