https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=98738&find=unread was a proposition of mine earlier on. It pretty much just slowed stuff down, but trying to do a time-space thing would really screw up client/server synch issues....

What happens when a 5 TON dropship, moving at 40 M/S hit's a sphere and 25% of it inside the sphere is moving 50% slower than the rest of it on the outside...unless somehow all mass entering the sphere immediately loses its inertia/gravity as a function of time it would collapse on itself and SHOULD be destroyed.

Not really, you could liken it sprinting on the beach when suddenly one of your legs gets caught in the tide, do you collapse on yourself or just maybe spin out of control?

I believe in this! Amarr for the win! But just as you said, hope dies fast.

I really like this idea, it's a very neat grenade type! I think there was a similar grenade to this in Red Faction, and one that would reverse all control inputs on the afflicted.

Not sure if this is something that is in the vision of DUST514, but it's definitely cool to talk about :)

Locus: explosive, Minmatar colors, Minmatar names like Thukker, clearly Minmatar.
Flux: green Gallente color, Gallente corp names like Allotek, clearly Gallente.
AV: angular and blue like Caldari stuff, Caldari names like Wiyrkomi, clearly Caldari

All the races have their own grenades types, except for the Amarr. Drop uplinks (which look obviously Amarr) are wormhole technology, which show that the Amarr have some proficiency is manipulating spacetime. I propose an Amarr temporal grenade, inspired by the chrono grenades from Timeshift multiplayer.
A temporal grenade creates a bubble in which time moves twice as slow. This means those caught in the bubble would move twice as slow, reload twice as slow, perform animations twice as slow, their guns would have half of their normal fire rate, they would stay in the air twice as long when jumping, and non-hitscan weapons would travel through the bubble twice as slow.
There could be various variants with different bubble durations, bubble radii, etc.
It would be a useful way to slow down enemies and... who am i kidding, this will never happen. It is way too awesome to ever happen in a game like Dust, i just lost hope while typing this

Amarr grenade yes.
Slow motion grenade? No.

Maybe a teleporting grenade (think borderlands) to keep with the whole "long range" style of the amarr weapons? Or it could be a non-lethal grenade that simply releases a large blast that pushes players/LAVs?

I like the idea of distorting space in some way though. This makes me want to come up with an idea for a heavy amarr weapon like this now. Imagine a giant cannon type gun that could push tanks and send players/LAVs flying with a huge amount of force. Imagine Force gun from dead space, but on a larger scale.
