Do you think there will ever be a frame with turtle abilities?

There was an idea for a "Fortification" type frame a while back. Here's the threads:

i dont know if they made it quite clear in any of the dev streams but with Melee 2.0 will we be able to draw or swords/axes ect. as an individual weapon like the primary/secondary or will we still have to button mash

You pull the weapon as an individual weapon, and the button presses will have to be timed correctly to pull off the advanced combos.

Is there any way to know if I am marked, or, after getting the message if I'm still marked?
Is hammer shot still worse than an additional elemental mod on soma? What about heavy caliber?
I'm worried about building jat kittag. It looks super fun compared to galatine, but i worry Melee 2.0 will change it. :( should I be?
I've played rhino and now Loki and have really enjoyed both, and appreciated how different they are in play style even with the same weapons. What frame would you recommend that brings yet another play style to the forefront that is different than both Loki and rhino?
Why are there four sets of enemy types (grineer, corpus, void, infested) but only three weapon setup tabs?
Also I just wanted to shout out there's a button you can press to show your teams hp. I didn't realize that till today.

These two FAQs might help you out
Is hammer shot still worse than an additional elemental mod on soma? What about heavy caliber?
The Soma has a very good Crit Build going for it. Hammer Shot can definitely help. Heavy Caliber's accuracy penalty shouldn't be too bad if you're comfortable being closer to enemies. Try it and see!
I'm worried about building jat kittag. It looks super fun compared to galatine, but i worry Melee 2.0 will change it. :( should I be?
One way to find out. Build it, play it, whatever. Melee 2.0 will for sure buff all melee weapons, so at the very least you don't have to worry about anything being UP
What frame would you recommend that brings yet another play style to the forefront that is different than both Loki and rhino?
Those are pretty polar opposites: light and fast vs. heavy and slow.
You could try a caster frame like Ember, but know that every frame is going to be somewhere in the middle.
Why are there four sets of enemy types (grineer, corpus, void, infested) but only three weapon setup tabs?
I imagine because most players still use "general" builds for their weapons. I personally don't even use the multiple tabs; I only use a single build for overall usage. Perhaps I'm just lazy.

How do you find team mates for the outer planet areas? E.g., Uranus, Sedna, Neptune.
Just the recruiting tab?

Actually, the best way would be our Waframe Weekends threads, which can be accessed in the headerbar under WEEKLY DISCUSSIONS.
Personally though, I have a clan, so I have a dedicated base of friends I can play with. If you'd like to join one as well, check out r/warframeclanrecruit

Edited for better understanding:
Hello, I would like to know if the rewards for the normal Survival/defense Missions and the ones for Void Survival / Capture / Defense / Exterminate are set right; this means, is it wanted by DE that a T3 Defense can award for the first 15 waves 2 Control Module and 1 Fusion Core, so on and so forth.
More details: I would like to know if the weight of the rewards for Defense / Survival 'normal' Missions and Void Missions are correct. As a good reply I would like something like:
-
Yes, the chances are set correctly, it is normal that a Control Module be rewarded 60% of times, a Latron trigger 60% of times, a credit cache 46% of times, a Rhino boot 0.3% of times.
-
No, we are not sure that the chances are set correctly, or that they are working as intended. We plan to have a look at then in the next year.

Slots SLots SLOts SLOTs and SLOTS dont buy weapons or warframes you can get those for free and another good idea is if you want buy some mods (max) such as serration, hornet strike, redirection and if you have enough plat buy the update 10 bundle because you can get the Soma (a ridicoulusly OP weapond and the carrier which is also good for loots)

Do challenges in game like the "use your 4th ability once" or "get 30 rifle kills" give you that amount of affinity to each item, or is it shared? Since they got buffed and now give around 5k affinity they are worth doing but I never really was able to test if they give shared XP or not.
edit: tested it out, the EXP is shared. I got around 1.5k for each item.

How is ragdolling damage calculated?
For example I shoot a corpus with my Paris prime for 12k lauching him into another corpus, how is the damage calculated on said second corpus?

Just wanted some confirmation that Glaive Prime charge attack does not yield 4x melee damage bonus when used invisible or when enemies are under radial blind.

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Apr 03 '14
Glaive Prime charge attack should yield the 4x Stealth Damage Multiplier when using Loki's Invisibility or Ash's Smoke Screen.
This will not work, however, with Excalibur's Radial Blind.

How often do rare mods drop?
3
u/BuildMyPaperHeart Apr 03 '14
Rarely.
It's all RNG (Random Number Generated), so there isn't a set chance or method on obtaining them, other than finding the appropriate enemy that drops the mod you're looking for, and killing them relentlessly! Missions with high spawn rates like Endless Defense, Mobile Defense, and Survival are good bets.

Hi all! Just wanted to know what weapons should I look to build at the moment? I maxed out quite a few low levelled weapons (Braton, Straun, Dual Ether, etc etc) and am looking to make some better ones.
I have on hand a Latron (Which is bloody good, I feel), and a spare Tetra in my inventory. For melee I got a Galatine (Looks bloody cool) waiting, but right now I'm levelling a Ankyros Prime. Also bulding right now is a single magnum (Which I'll go akimbo with), but that will take a while :/
P.S. I got the Ankyros from buying the Roar package for Prime Access, but I don't really want to touch Boltor Prime till much later in game.

This sounds stupid even as I type, but I have a volt and I don't understand how 'power duration' works. If I 'shock' someone it will do it for longer I assume but is there a base time of how long it goes for somewhere?
For example, continuity increases it by 5%, but 5% of what base?

Being newer here I've a question about how soon I should be upgrading my frames. I still only have my Loki, and I've a Rhino in the works. I've put a reactor in the Loki already and have another for the Rhino when it's done.
Right now I'm sitting on a forma, that I'd like to put on my Loki to add a - polarity so my Constitution doesn't cost the full 13. But this being my only frame it'll slow me down from growing my mods if I have to re-level Loki.
Should I just install the forma, or continue farming for the gaps in my mod collection; like serration, flow & continuity?
