It shouldn't be flying, more like jumping really high. Maybe like a 10m vertical leap for scouts.

But I wanna fly. How about this? The first 10m is like a jump, really fast. Each metre after that is much slower, 5m's for 2s then 4, 3, 2, 1m metres each for 2s. Then it just continues up at 1m/s. Means it'll take over a minute to climb a tower, but 2 seconds to tackle the tabletop on Line Harvest.

But flying is for the DS's. YOU'RE ENCROACHING ON THE REALM OF THE DS! Ever heard of Icarus? He tried that and got swarmed out of the sky.

Icarus flew too close to the sun - it would take aaaages to fly that high my way. F*** it i'll be tougher than a dropship as a mini floaty ninja. Might actually let swarms lock scouts too. Forge guns might hit us once we've slowed to 1m/s.

Here's another thing, people flying around by themselves makes me want to crush them with a drop ship in mid air.

Some guy's gunna be like "oh hey, I can jump up this tower, but it'll take a bit"

Then I come along in my drop ship and air murder taxi them..

Doesn't have to be fast, just another way for em to get about, to climb up buildings and kill forge gunners and stuff. The more I think about it the better it sounds...

DIVE KIKKU Well, in crysis when you power jump you can do an area of effect ground pound. It would be cool to be able to use the Inertia Dampener to create a shockwave to stun people when I jump down from on a tower or some high place.

Krom Ganesh Holdfast Syndicate Amarr Empire 219	Posted - 2013.08.24 18:38:00 - [20] - Quote Eh... I don't think this game needs flying suits. It would be either super overpowered or almost worthless. (Though an equipment to glide might be interesting) What CCP should do is completely revamp all rooftops so that they are accessible without the use of a vehicle. (including towers) The super jump for scouts would be nice for scouts because then CCP could implement scout-only shortcuts that let us access areas faster than other suits. I.E. to reach building A's roof normally, someone would have to run to building B, climb a ladder, run across B's roof, and jump down to A's roof where as a scout could superjump onto a container and then onto A's roof. For balance, it would require a lot of stamina (flat value not a percentage that is greater than default stamina amount) as well as a minimum stamina amount requirement (to prevent it from being used repeatedly in a short duration).

Doesn't have to be fast, just another way for em to get about, to climb up buildings and kill forge gunners and stuff. The more I think about it the better it sounds... Downsides Well, I say downsides, but what I mean is things to balance it a bit, so it can actually happen. Double the stealthyness value when in use. Make it so tacnet puts you on everyone's map if your profile goes over 60 or whatever. Nothing can be used while its in use. It's use stops shield's regeneration. (so it can't be used as vertical strafing) Make it equipment, with a cooldown, like active scanners. MAYBE let other classes use it. MAYBE. But gimp it on other suits so its something a scout can do better than an assault. And capes. Capes are cool. Yeah................. capes are cool >:D
Exionous Abandoned Privilege General Tso's Alliance 18	Posted - 2013.08.24 22:17:00 - [29] - Quote This is actually a really good, and probably well thought out idea. It'd make them be a little bit stronger (since I think moving faster isn't big enough of an excuse to make me die in 5 shots), but not too much stronger. The only problem I can see is people that are stuck in a firefight and can't look at their map, then a scout flies over them and lands behind them, then proceeds to shoot them in the back of the head with a shotgun. But, all ideas can be worked on. Lets just not make this game Halo.
Django Quik Dust2Dust. Top Men. 1336	Posted - 2013.08.24 22:52:00 - [30] - Quote Flying suits sound a bit too far (at least for the near future of Dust). Jump pack equipment would be a good interim item though - you could make it available to all suits but have it's use tied to stamina, so it's most useful to scouts, nearly useless to heavies and of limited use to mediums. Say you can select the equipment in the normal manner and then when you jump you can hold down the button to continue launching into the air for as long as your stamina lasts (say 3 or 4 times the depletion rate of sprinting). Alternatively, it could be made a special feature of scout suits built into the suit, so it doesn't take up an equipment slot. I actually think that would be better.
