I love the idea of AV having more tools, and the idea of module disruption is not a bad idea. However I would make it a new weapon and not replace current AV grenades with them.

The issue I have is with your numbers though. 30 seconds of downtime is absolutely insanely long for a single grenade. Try to imagine you're a Caldari dropsuit and your shield recharge was disabled for 30 seconds...pretty harsh yeah? I'd much rather see each grenade have a short duration (around 5 seconds) and allow you to stack them, so continual impacts from grenades would build up, making the weapon very effective at freaking tankers out and getting them to move.

I see you point and thank you for being civil about it; perhaps the numbers I pulled from thin air are a bit much so lowering them would be necessary. However making the. Stackable is probably not a good idea, perhaps 5 STD, 10 ADV, and 15 PRO? With only one grenade to throw. Or 1 seconds for STD 3 for ADV and 5 for Pro and make them stackable?

Edit: fixed errors

message from Godin: Honestly, just having it turn off your HUD and giving you tons of interference would do just fine. I'd flip out and take off it that were ti happen, as without a HUD, and partially/fully blinded, I would be pretty vulnerable. Blaster HAV's need two things to work: sight and the heat bar. Without those 2 things, you're useless in a fight.

Now your getting my idea, without your HUD you couldn't aim, turn on hardeners, or see your radar so you'd run am I right? This is the basic idea I had and I thought I had put that in clear enough terms, my apologies.

message from Godin: Actually, you could; just you wouldn't be able to do it effectively. What I was saying is basically like trying to drive normally, but blindfolded.

EDIT: you would still be able to do everything normally, but unless you're a jedi, good luck surviving, as, well you can't see ****.

Seems like a fair compromise; I'll agree to that change to the idea. :D Vae Victis* Valor Vet, R.I.P MAG
