Risk vs. Reward

The way this is proposed is even cooler than the OP since it gives control to the players.

So what it would be is: Built in feature of Scout suits

Gallente Scout: Able to "Shed" a specific amount of armor for a temporary increase in base speed; Nanites no longer focus on repairing armor and instead strengthens and overclocks the users muscles for increased biotic ability. Lasts for a specific amount of time and goes to cool down (Maybe even no cooldown since it would require that the scout shed its current armor to achieve an increased sprint speed, Shedding too often will lead to death

Minmatar Scout: Able to delegate shield generator power into increasing the suit's biotic ability thus augmenting the user's sprint speed for as long as shields allow (more shields, longer augmented sprint duration) effectively turning the shield generator into a makeshift suit capacitor; those crafty duct tape engineers.

Kira suggested that the minmatar scout use its shields as an augmented stamina bar, but this would only be useful for the suit if they buffed the Minja's innate sprint speed

thoughts? comments? concerns?

Seems like a separate topic that kinda popped up but yea, awesome idea (as long as it doesn't take away my profile buff)

So logically no- but scouts need a buff, and reality has no bearing on game design, so yes. Good idea.

If you lost a percentage of your armor plates than it would make sense that you wouldn't be held down by the weight of an object that has lost its mass. Also therefore its weight. What the fox say?

Tbh I don't know why you would load up a scout with 700 armor. I am however interested in what you do with this fit roner lol... Everyone dies...but not everyone really lives.
The dark cloud The Rainbow Effect 1825	Posted - 2013.11.04 21:12:00 - [24] - Quote good luck with a scout having that amount of HP. You will have no armor reps and walk at the speed of a assault which will probs still have more overall HP then you do. I shall show you a world, a world which you cant imagine, a world full off butthurt n00bs at the other end of my gun
