Armor modules:

I will try to be VERY careful not to step on the toes of the remote armor repairer.
##NOTE: This was made way before 1.6, and now that remote reps were buffed a lot, itGÇÖs not even a thing to worry about.

As I said, passive modules will be better overtime, I did the math to make sure this stays true.
Light Active Armor Repairer:
Amount repaired per pulse: 5/10/15
Pulse interval: 2 seconds
Number of pulses: 5
Cooldown: 15 seconds

Heavy Active Armor Repairer:
Amount repaired per pulse: 20/30/50
Pulse interval: sec3 onds
Number of pulses: 5
Cooldown: 45 seconds

Burst Active Armor Repairer:
This one activates AFTER the pulse interval is done
Amount repaired per pulse: 125/150/200
Pulse interval: 5 seconds
Number of pulses: 1
Cooldown: 80 seconds

Quick Active Armor Repairer:
Amount repaired per pulse: 20/30/50
Pulse interval: 1 second
Number of pulses: 3
Cooldown: 80 seconds

Kagehoshi, could I get your opinion on an idea I had?


New Dropsuit slot type

Active Module Slot
- Modules that go into this slot work like active modules on vehicles (Active time & cooldown time)
- Used to fit Cloaking, E-War, etc.
- Each suit is given one
- Scouts get more
--- Amount each scout suit has is dependent on the suit's tier and race
- Scouts get an additional Class Bonus that decreases fitting costs of all active modules (Could out right replace if scouts also got a ~25% decrease to scan profile)


- Scouts get an additional Racial Bonus that improves the performance of an active module relevant to their race
--- For example, Gallente Scout could get a bonus that decreases Cloaking cooldown time
OR
Rather than suits getting bonuses to active mod performance, the active mods themselves could list when they are most effective based on frame race, size, and spec(maybe) (as more suits are added, this would deserve its own tab in the info pane).

For example,
Cloak:
User is invisible for yadda yadda ya.
Effectiveness:
Light +++
Med ++
Heavy +
Gal ++
Cal +
Amarr +
Min +

This sort of system would allow certain frames and races to be better at using mods without have a confusing system of racial/frame bonuses.


Other active mod ideas:
Tacnet disruptor - Causes tacnet to only display static and removes IFF (enemy and ally names don't appear and reticule doesn't change colors)
Kinetic Overclock - Causes movement and sprint speed to be boosted by some percentage
An active mod to temporarily boost damage (most effective with meds?)
An active mod to temporarily reduce damage (most effective with heavies?)
Overwatch - Boosts passive scan range and scan precision by some percentage and transmits enemy locations to allies (could also cause user to appear as if scanned to anyone within the user's range) (gal light most effective)
An active mod that will very quickly restore shields and armor (need some very strong setbacks such as requiring uninterrupted activation time or a high cooldown time)

So essentially bring the "waves of opportunity" model they're applying to vehicles to infantry?

Could work, but also could make combat too sporadic. It'd be funny to see though, when everyone in a gun fight backs off when their actives are cooling down, like gentlemen agreeing to cease a petty argument.

But yeah, I don't know whether this will work unless battle sizes increased to something like 32v32, because I think like in EVE, on a massive scale the variance of modules balances out.

Cat, keep bumping everyday, its against forum rules to bump other peoples threads apparently, let's get this recognised, it would be a massive step towards mmofps.
