Cat Merc and I brainstormed out an idea to add another active infantry module.
This would be an Active Damage Modifier with no more than 8 second duration, no less than 40 second cooldown, and that adds around 20-30% damage to the user's current weapon.
Cat ran the numbers for a 30% bonus on a Duvolle Assault Rifle:
Total Damage Standard: 1980
Total Damage with Damage Mod: 2574
DPS Standard: 412.5
DPS with Damage Mod: 536.25
As you can see, this provides a temporary but substantial bonus to the combat viability of the player.
Ideally, this module would come with a fitting bonus given only to Assault suits, and have an associated visual effect to make its usage apparent to other players nearby. I can't seem to find a .gif to link here, but I would think an effect similar to activating Triage on a Carrier in EVE would work, with some kind of light-effect pulsing along the suit.

I would like this module to have high fitting requirements, similar to the cloak, so suits like the logistics couldn't just stack it and get 90% damage bonus.
And then give a bonus to the assault, like the scout.
On that note, I think we could possibly institute a limit of only one Active Module on a suit.

And speaking of the cloak, I would think the existing cloak UI would work just fine.

Why is this needed the TTK only increased on heavies and %20-30 8 seconds lol... That is way to high this seems like an I WIN button especially with damage mods being in high slots im sure armor users love this idea.. I would think %10 for 8seconds or % 20 for 4seconds and it would have ti be a long ass cool down...
This assumes that all the rifles are brought into balance, and the idea is that this makes an Assault suit a major threat within a brief window.
The long cooldown stops it from being spammed, and the brief duration means you only really have time for one magazine at the most, so you need to make your hits count.

Before you attack an idea, make sure to read it so you don't end up being a complete idiot. Lol did I touch a sore spot....? And who's attacking who ? This is the feedback section I didn't know if someone disagreed that was considered attacking.. I dont believe I called you an idiot, thanks btw for showing your true colors, you sir are a scholar and a gentlemen... Awaiting an educated response to why this is needed... Besides Soloing a heavy.. ?
What can an Assault suit do right now that any other suit can't do better? The small bonuses they have right now aren't enough to make them a threat on the battlefield when you can get more HP with a Scout, and far more DPS and HP with a Heavy.
That's just two examples. I didn't even go into how Logistics suits still have more slots than any other suit, meaning that you can get far better hp out of them, and the equipment fitting bonus means you can fill all those slots and still have room left for a Proto gun.
