The special caveat however, is that the in-line skates have been inset into a platform sole that allows a spring-loaded mechanism to retract them in and out, allowing a canny survivor to quickly switch between walking and skating. They are basically a slightly heavier set of light survivor boots with an activation function that swaps the skating qualities from the boots, allowing a player to swap between skating and walking with a minor delay.\r\n\r\nRequirements:\r\nSkill used - Fabrication Diff - 5 \r\nRequirements (Tailoring 5, base of light survivor boots, Mechanics 3)\r\nCutting Quality 1\r\nMetal Sawing 1\r\nScrewdriving Quality 1 (to disassemble rollerblades)\r\nWelder, integrated toolset, or soldering iron (12 charges)\r\nMaterials:\r\n1 pair of rollerblades\r\n1 pair of light survivor boots\r\n2 kevlar plates\r\n4 scrap metal\r\n2 springs\r\n2 super glue\r\nConcept is you break down the rollerblades, cut a sole-liner from the 2 kevlar plates, super glue them to the original sole of the survivor boots, inset the rail line from the blades into a carved channel, a spring and tension rod is installed to rotate and pop out the skates and a lever arm locks the rail in place (hence mechanics requirement)\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/comments/219235050","html_url":"https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/16679#issuecomment-219235050","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/16679","id":219235050,"user":{"login":"Hague","id":3145045,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3145045?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Hague","html_url":"https://github.com/Hague","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Hague/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Hague/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Hague/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Hague/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Hague/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Hague/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Hague/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Hague/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Hague/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-05-14T18:15:24Z","updated_at":"2016-05-14T18:15:24Z","body":"That's not a fair characterization at all. Armoring all of those items doesn't provide a benefit. Armoring skates is a valid use. You freakin' wear them and can engage in combat wearing them. You're being deliberately obtuse.\r\n\r\nAs for balance, just make them pretty damn encumbering, they are basically platform boots, running in them would be tough, but not as tough as running in skates or rolling over dirt.\r\n\r\nAlternate version would be an inline- skate rail you can clip into an accompanying rail in modified pair of boots. Clip-on skates that take less time to swap back and forth.\r\n\r\nAs for the speed thing, yes, you do go significantly faster while using rollerblades in real life. Skating needs a lot of balance, so it should require more balance checks than it does now: making ranged attacks (spear kiting would be harder) and when sprinting would be ideal choices for extra balance checks."}}
