As of now the equipment focuses in logi work. I'd like to see more assault based equipment.
1) grappling hook. Exactly what it sounds like. Should be able to be used for climbing and repealing.( could make for stealthy drops instead of the dampners)
2).portable shields. Used for mobile cover and point defence. Can come in a shield and armor version( the guys I play with are good at point defence and noticed the lack of good cover.
3) portable supply depot. More of the wall would only let you change suits. Mabey 2 changes for basic 4 for advance 6 for proto. Could have high CPU AMD pg requirements.
4) support becon. Something like a defend or rally order but team wide. Could also be used as targeting system for oms orbitals or artillery.( can't count the time a little support from the other squads changed the tide of battle.
5) something to hack enemy equipment. Could be implemented like the active scanner.
6) disruptors used to disable enemy vehicles. Could be used to stop movement or just turrent fire. Would also promote hav team play. Haveing squads escort havs as they do in real life.
7)Tactical cloak. Useable by light suits only. This would give the scouts the infiltration power there supposed to have. You wouldnt be able to shoots while cloaked but can tag targets. Radar detection would go up due to excessive energy used so speed is still esentiall for the scouts survival.
Feedback/ideas appreciated. |

Pocket Rocket Girl wrote:I really like the idea of every thing that is mentioned except the portable supply depot i feel it would make the supply depot useless to a degree. Currently when you change a suit in the depot it refills your entire outfit, so wouldn't it do the same with the portable version? Also with the cloak would it be able to use equipment? and can you also explain more on the of "Radar detection would go up due to excessive energy used "? other than that it is a great idea
Mobile supply depot came from a sniper friend guess if the amount of used mags would stay the same . For example if you used 3/6(or how ever many mags you have) you would only have the remaining 3 and any unused equipment.
For cloak it could be an equipment that breaks cloak when you change and a set time or a module that provides a one shot damage boost then breaks(as it does in mass effect) but would only be usable by scout suits. This would help them and there role of assainations and infiltration. The extra power usage from the suit could make the cloaker more visable on radar to balance the cloak. |

Your idea for a cloaking device seems to have a flaw as well since you are saying that its use would make a scout more visible on radar. How can someone be cloaked and more visible? More importantly what scout would want a cloaking device that would make them a huge radar target since it would totally be the antithesis of what they want, ie. sneakiness. On a side note though CCP did say they would have a cloaking device SOONGäó so your guess is as good as mine.
The grappling hook turns into what you use it for. If that be anti sniping or insertions so be it.
Since our radars are energy based the higher the usage the higher the signal. Even with cloaks on eve ships can still see you on strong radars they just can lock put you in a game of cat and mouse. |

The grappling. Hook should latch onto all surfaces. Be with a cost. Say if uou hook a hav or lav you would take drag damage until you release. The hook or it snaps. If ypu hook a dropship you should stay hooked bit take collision Damage. This would allow for interesting gamplay with the dropship. Say no more tjat three. Hooks on a target to prevent. An entire team hanging from a dropship.
With equipment. Hacking. Your codebreaker idea could work wonders for simgle targets. But mines would work as an area denial tool. Havking equipment in the same level over say a 3ftdropship radius.
as for the the cloak i say have it for all suits but mines geated towards scouts. Meaning say basic cloak i gives all suits 5secbut cloak i with 20seca cool down. But scouts get a 15dropship second. Cloak with 20seca cooldow.
Ps-read both post some great ideas |

Why worry about what the few cod players do. Use it for enhanced tactical insertions/exfills, don't be a spider man be a space merc with a grappling hook |

Feedback/ideas appreciated. Cross covered most of my thoughts on this. They are good ideas, and I can't wait to see some of the equipment the devs come out with in the years to come. I did have a thought on grappling hooks since they can be rather problematic/clunky. What about instead an equipment that when deployed creates a sort of launch pad, giving people a boost to get over walls, or on top of (short) structures quickly. Destroyable of course.
While i like your idea it seams to restricting. Being limited by weight and terrain. The grappling hook while a dev challenge could be used to greater tactical freedomthan a pad

tracking distrupter (increases bullet spray)
target painter (increases a suits sig radius making it much easier to hit)
things of that nature.
But it fun to dream that this game has the possibility to do these things |

Feedback/ideas appreciated. 1. Sounds good. 2. No. That doesn't fit with the game's playstyle at all. You don't get to sit somewhere with a forge gun and throw a shield down to protect you. 3. No. This isn't CoD. You don't get One Man Army. What's that? I'm about to be attacked in my frail officer scout suit? Aight lemme just switch into my heavy suit instantly. Balanced. They will add in callable Supply Depots/Turrets anyways that you can buy. 4. Has potential. 5. Best idea here. 6. No. That's simply not fair. I can tell you, I could drop the best fit tank with that and a squad of my boys even if it stopped it from firing for one second. Just hop over there and AV nade spam. If it was only detrimental to movement speed, then there's potential, but mobility is everything with HAVs and LAVs so that hardly seems balanced. They need SOME survivability. 7. They're already going to add that I read.
2) i see you have been touched in a bad spot my heavys. If you do more than pub matches youll see that thw games more than a constant assault. Without point defence you'll end up red lined
6) its completely fair if you play in an organized squad because they will support your tank. If this worked on dropships i would see your point

Vehicles should just slowly heal you and resupply since there made of nanites especially logi, but that's for a nother thread |
