Could you have them reduce the endurance cost of sprinting? So they would partially be like an endurance mod, but in the highslot combined with the ability of making your punch a bit harder. |

Please speak your mind about it, I am particularly interested in players who actually use it, and for what purpose. What kind of fitting can be made better with a PG upgrade?
My personal experience is usually, "hmm, I need PG to pack stuff into my low slots, then I don't have the slots anymore because the rest of my lows are proto anyway".
How can they be of use in the current environment? Give way more PG, be high slot, cost no CPU? Feel free to brainstorm.
Wouldn't we want to boil its bonus down to being able to provide more than its 'spent' slot's worth of bonus?
Possibilities:
-gives shield recharge (or delay) bonus in addition to PG boost.
-Boosts efficacy of damage mods.
-increases all weapon specialization effects?
-Serves as a kind of nanite reserve that boost starting ammo.
-Boosts suit skill based resists
-Damage control esque: Shield delay is reduced by armor deficit % (50% armor = 50% shield delay [not depletion delay])
-gives armor resists against projectile, explosive, and rail weapons. (CPU could give shields slightly stronger resists to plasma/laser).
-like damage control it could increase base suit HP making bleed out after death more difficult. |

Also, why are we committed to their original design choice of meleeing? As far as kills go, it seems like an extremely ineffective strategy. To be fast enough to catch people you have to be light enough to move that fast, which means you don't often have the HP to survive an encounter to melee. Unless...they reduced the movement speed penalty from armor...? |
