Alternate And New Faction Designs

[ValhaHazred]

Very good design. I aprove of the moa legs, tho i would prefer a mechsuit and the pilot in the center.

they would be larger and more menacing, but not like jackal.

The helmet is a bishop variant?

This reminds me of a inquisitor.

I think of it more as a regal support figure than anything intimidating, I went that rout with the Tech concept I drew ages ago.

I might draw a heavily armed and armoured Corpus Cleric though. I like the idea of playing up the Machine Cult aspect of their backstory more.

Faction

Infestation cultists

All of my yes.

Real cool unit, I like the added armor-plating.

 

The machine cult aspect is surely a heavy one, since they see the Orikin as mysterious, and feel htey require Rituals during construction.

I can imagine a Tech Priest blessing the machine, reading a psalm about the machine-spirit and infusing enery from the Void to power its Core.

 

I wonder how they operate though. The leadership is abviously about profit and tradecontrol.

The other branches must then be:

 

Military - Soldiers and robots.

Research and Development - Study and construct new weapons and robots.

Aquisition - Specialists in finding Orikin and Warframe artefects.

Construction - Robot and Spaceship factories.

 

Id love to see more designs.

I want to see the designs from every angle. This means to recreate them as best I can.

The Corpus base is almost completed. From there I will build new designs based on my own, and others ideas.

Feedback would be great!

Some alternatives to Corpus units.

[arch111]

I took a spin on the Corpus Cleric, or Inquisitor.

I imagine them with powerglove and staff, possibly with robotic legs.

Thoughts?

I did a overpaint to try to convey the idea of the unit.

This is a Elite unit, armed with freeze glove and teslastaff.

I love this thread, and therefore will input something nobody seems to be worried about.  In Warframe we are very limited to Infested enemies!  I know you guys want more interesting bosses, but think of the ordinary infested enemies, they have feelings too!  You propose Snipers for Corpus among other things, yet the only unique enemy the infest has is the Crawlers and Ancients.  The atmosphere of an Infested one can be quite fearful and creepily-ambient, and such should be portrayed upon a diseased mess of various factions!  Thus we should increase not only the fear-factor, but reasons to be scared.

 

So now I release the idea that even got DE_Skree to change his IGN to DE_CeilingSkree, is the wall/ceiling dweller for the infested.

 

How we should feel/see when the enemy appears:

 

How we will be approached by such terror: (From a terrifying Japanese children's book)

 

Of course I imagine it more of a elongated enemy with several appendages that allow it to move somewhat 'smoothly' across the ceiling if you will, but of course from a distance all you'll see is the eyes for it will blend in with the infested growth on the walls/ceilings.  The creature would not lift you up like every-other ceiling dweller, but try to give you a high intensity toxic-infestation (resembling the initial virus) which will stay on you for long periods of time and of course ignoring your shields.  Lastly, we get DE_Skree to voice the scream as it attacks you (lol).

 

SECOND is a slender like monster proposal that will be more similar to the crawlers, but focused more on the appendage/creepy factor.

 

You may think of it as a centipede or a millipede, but a infested creature of what would be a 'neutral' being of that time (or in this case Skates or soon to come neutrals), of just enemies that can crawl anywhere and when attack, they can restrict your mobility severely (making them deadly due to infested hordes).

 

 

The following design could be implemented toward either ideas.

I'm no artist but if you guys have better concept arts you'd like to replace these I can make a re-post of this somewhere or just update this if you message me your concept!

[Ptolemaios]

Ok, so I played around with a female model I made and wanted to try out a cloak on the Corpus.

Keep in mind this is all early and I really want feedback at this stage. Does the cloak work, or does it look to weird?

 

Here is the render.

 

 

And the alterate visor.

 

 

Another thing I would like ideas for is the high ranking Corpus and Board Members. How do they look and what gadgets and augmentations do they use?

 

A difference should be clear from the crewmen, a glorified future wall street trader perhaps? Or aristocrats?

Im thinking arrogant, cold and very business-like mixed in with maffia and a hint of religious Zeal.

 

 

 

 

 

wow, now that would be very interesting

Great suggestions! I see in my minds eye a cross between a spider, a centepede, an octopus and a humanoid trapped in the mix.

 

The infested need more personality variety then just mindless zombies. I allso would like a unit more like a Hive mind. It is hinted here and there that this could exist, so why not a Elite support unit that when present boosts the stats of the horde around it and makes them "smarter"?

 

If I can come up with some concepts to these ideas I will post them.

Yeah that third one matches the kind of idea I would have of a ceiling creeper.

http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Sniper_Crewman not to burst bubbles about the corpus sniper

Not at all. I know there is a sniper , but the problem with Corpus units are that they are to similar.

No special gear to tell us we got a sniper besides color.

I think the faction deserves unique units like Grineer already have.

[r3dzer0]

I totally agree with you, Even with the grineer though they are mostly similar, with interspersed cosmetic differences, they're probably the only ones that have had the most attention since the start.  Honestly there's nothing wrong with a female looking sniper unless it contradicts lore.  As for the Clergyman way cool.  could it also give some kind of morale boost?  like a minor damage buff to them much like the osprey's can give a defensive buff?

 

Some relatively neat ideas would be to have smaller hyena's jackals to be incorporated.  Something that looks somewhat similiar to ravage from  Transformers, could also lead to detection.  Light armor, relatively mid level damage, very quick. 

Osprey rework so that Leech and Shield are one in the same, leeching your shields to boost their own. 

 

Someone mentioned mechs, which would be cool but i think they'd have to be elite units/mini bosses. 

Since Mr. nef can do it, have invis corpus assassins.  which could be your sniper unit anyways. 

[Lady_Khaos]

Speaking of mechs, I think they should be more industrialized. Have them be heavy cargo movers, possibly with a tractor beam type "weapon" that can both push and pull the target, and a claw for melee. The Corpus aren't all military, which is obvious from looking at the Crewmen. Then they can style it in tribute to the Dark Sector Jackals by having the backside be open with the pilot exposed.

this is rad.

[arch111]

Yes, mechs and mechas is a given. Allso more airborne units and such equipment.

And since they rely so much on robotics and cybernetics, I would like to see that reflected more in game.

A boss with stages is on my wishlist, along with smarter and dedlier ai.

Imagine a boss piloting an airborne mech, like a giant mix of an ospray and Jackal.

It has shields, engines, guns and missile-turrets.

All must be destroyed to bring the mech to the ground and stop.

But then the pilot gets out, using powers and advanced weaponry.

This would be a enemy even elite players could die from.

And my personal favourite, the warframe power neutronalize grid.

A kind of grenade, or field that block or reduce a warframes powers.

This would mean timing and strategy would be vital to survive.

[arch111]

I will edit the first post in the thread and list all alternate ideas by faction. But intil then, I want to post some new ideas here.


CORPUS

Unit: Templar
Description: The Corpus are not natively a military faction. They are about control and power through trade, goods and information.
They search for tech to study and exploit. They build robots to serve them.

The Crewmen are not warriors. They do their very best, but they are after all only crewmen.

The flocks need protection, and to that end the scolars found a legend from ancient Earth, the Knights Templar.
And like them, the Corpus Templar are charged with the sacred duty of protecting wealth and power.

So built around a twisted version of the Crusader, elite crewmen are singled out.
They are trained in combat, equipped with void tech and modified warframe gear. Much more agile and equipped with both shields and armor, they pose a much greater threat to the Tenno.

 

But they are allso used in Void Aquisition missions, to find Orikin artefacts to bring home.

 

The Inquisitors

 

The Corpus are reliant on obedient followers. They must ensure that their ranks do not thin to much when facing Tenno or Grineer forces. Therefore they enlist colonists and other groups by capture and by use of mindcontrol-devices in special facilities.

 

On of the Inquisitors duties, but not all, is to go on these capture missions like morbid missionaries.

I descided to pose my Templar and try to fit him into the game. Feedback would be great!
