This I like. I had envisioned a fitting intensive LOS module on a suit fitted with kincats. The HAV, for example, still would have the option of destroying the tackler to escape.

1. The threat of tacklers would increase the value/need of infantry escort.
2. It would give a reason to slap turrets back onto HAV's. -which would have some downstream fitting consequences for tankers
3. It would augment the currently underpowered SL's. nicely. -Give me webs and you can leave the SL exactly how they are.
4. I think you would see more AV teamwork immediately.
-Maybe a vehicle fitted module, too. Lets see those scout LAV's make an appearance again.

I am averse to the idea of grenades. Too easy to hide and spam -it feels a little cheap. The vehicle should A deployable unit, as has been suggested sounds reasonable, also. Make it expensive, and destroyable.

Alternatively, you could let us bring our Rapiers* into matches.

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Dominion of the Supreme Emperor God-King KAGEHOSHI 9001	Posted - 2014.02.10 03:22:00 - [1] - Quote Stasis webifiers, those things CCP promised us back in 2011. I want them. In EVE Online stasis webs "Reduces the maximum speed of a ship by employing micro energy streams which effectively entangle the target temporarily, thereby slowing it down". I want this to come to Dust as it was promised years ago, as an equipment to slow down targets that are hit; primarily vehicles. It should work like a pistol with around a 50 meter range. You point, shoot an energy blast, and whatever infantry or vehicle you hit should be slowed down for a period of time. It could have limited ammo, or it could have a very long cooldown; whichever works. Race: Amarr (they usually do energy tech, and makes sense they develop it to counter Minmatar speed) Type: equipment Range: 50 meters Effect: 50-75% (depending on tier) reduction in speed of infantry and vehicles hit. I want it. Gû¦n+++Supreme emperor god-kingpÇÉKAGEH¦PSHIpÇæ// Lord of threads // Forum alt Gû¦Gû+

Texs Red DUST University Ivy League 182	Posted - 2014.02.10 04:58:00 - [11] - Quote Webifiers are a Minmatar thing, not Amarr. Amarr does tracking disruption and energy drain/vampire. That said, I see this coming in two forms. Grenade: Toss it and where ever it lands it creates a temporary disruption field that slows anybody caught in it. Lasts maybe 5 seconds, it most of a breach-and-clear weapon for holding down opponents or a stop-gap measure against vehicles. Equipment: A rather large piece of equipment with a long setup duration that leaves you vulnerable (probably like 3-4 seconds), this prevents it from being overly useful vs infantry unless they fail to notice it but it's large area of effect and duration makes it very potent against vehicles.

They promised us things for the game that old Executive Producer worked on. Then they changed executive producer, and shifted whole development of the game. Calling these "promises" is like saying "Blizzard promised us higher res characters 3 years ago because they said that's what they want to do 3 years ago". They never said when those are coming so there is no promise that they will come in X time.

Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 3411	Posted - 2014.02.10 14:20:00 - [16] - Quote For infantry, I'd envision it like this: 1. Equipment - (limits how many can be brought, say to 1 or 2, and avoid having a persistent effect like what would be required with a grenade, or a lock on which would be impractical compared to just shooting at that point) 2. Gives a snare within a radius, as if it were a nanohive, with better/different models have different radii or effect sizes. This reduces people's ability to put them at far corners away from doors since the effect is reduced when a person only runs through part of it, leaving them open to flux grenades, etc. 3. The effect has a large-ish falloff (similar to grenade damage being weaker at the edges, etc.). That is, the effect is largest right on top of the web generator, and a fraction of the full effect at the edges. This means scouts/players would get a warning of sorts as they "start" to slow down upon reaching the edge of the effect. 4. Overlapping "fields" cancel each other out. So, spamming stasis webs is counterproductive since the "Venn Diagram" area of the effect would effectively produce zero slowing. This is aside from the limitations on numbers active. So, two identical stasis webs thrown in the same doorway effectively mean there's no effect. - some of the replies are correct in that Amarr don't necessarily do Stasis webs normally, that is Minmatar. However, some acknowledgment of the lack of actual appropriate EWAR should be noted, such as how tracking disruption would be applied to infantry (turn speed and optimal range hit somehow?) or Energy Neutralizer/Vampire without capacitors? Similarly, the Caldari EWAR of ECM/target-lock break would only "kinda" work in the context of a Swarm Launcher... a Caldari weapon. Dren and Templar equipment stats, wrong since release.

Similarly, the Caldari EWAR of ECM/target-lock break would only "kinda" work in the context of a Swarm Launcher... a Caldari weapon. I don't think tracking disruption would work on infantry well, I would see it more as something that increase shot dispersion thus making it harder to apply DPS. The Amarr can't move (webifier) but Minmatar can't hit him (shot dispersion). The Minmatar like skirmish warfare so I would see them using webifiers more as traps or quick effects to gain the upper hand. The Amarr are the opposite of the Minmatar so they do information warfare (defensive), therefore I would see them using Disruption Fields as more of a deployable defense equipment. Not quite a shield as much as a deflector. Energy neutralizer/vampire could work well on vehicles (stealing cool down to hasten your own or making active modules last less time) but on infantry it's a bit harder. Messing with stamina makes sense but offers limited tactical advantage vs Minmatar target painters. Perhaps make it have a large area of effect, useful for slowing down those jumping/sprinting scouts before they get to you? The Minmatar target painter I could see as an equipment that tags a single enemy but has a long visibility duration and allows the entire team to see them. You have to have your painter on them for at least 3 seconds for it to tag them.
