Just an idea cos scouts have Speed and Stealth, Heavies have tank and dps, Assaults are mediocre and lack the ability to run away or hide

WHAT ASSAULTS ARE MEDIOCRE? Lack the ability to run away?

Bro: Minmatar runs. a LOT. AND TANKS (900EHP and 7.7 sprnt speed all in one? HAH)
Amarr doesnt NEED to run, tank over 900EHP with 2 cx damage mods and a viziam
Gallente goes hand to hnd with amarr but at CQ. With Breach AR and ARs
Calamaris are invincible at the correct range with cover, their high shield tank/regen makes them unkillable at certain ranges not to mention they are good for CQ 1 v 1 engagements too

ST*U with that assaults are mediocre.




BUT



But i would like me some jetpack.

Bro: Minmatar runs. a LOT. AND TANKS (900EHP and 7.7 sprnt speed all in one? HAH)

900 HP with no self repair and no damage mods

2 cx Ferroscale
2 cx Armor reps
3 Shiel ext (at least 2 cx)
1 Enhanced shiel energizer

7.7 sprt speed
5.3 movement speed
20+ armor rep
39.99 shield recharge rate,.

(regarding your dam mods check my sig)


You were saying....

Amarr doesnt NEED to run, tank over 900EHP with 2 cx damage mods and a viziam

900 HP with no self repair and no damage mods

Last I heard, Legion's current assault has 2 Light weapons so maybe commandos get jetpacks?

I request a jetpack on my sentinel.

Hear me out...

So I can actually defeat a four inch step.

It's embarrassing to not be able to simply step over a tiny obstacle.

But four inches?

Need jetpax to mitigate the shame of being slightly more than Fluffy.

Jetpack on assaults

I'm just going to throw out numbers...

It should be an equipment. Obviously. A built in thing would make assaults too good. They would become the best uplink layers overnight. It would be crazy.
Assault bonus should reduce fitting costs dramatically, like the Scouts do for cloaks. 75% seems to work well...
It shouldn't be a jetpack. A jump-pack is much better and easier to balance around. Quick bursts of upwards movement.
Manual activation. No shooting and floating. This is a mobility tool, not a combat I-win button. Something the cloak needs a harder lesson on...

Oh, and by the way, Amarr item. Amarr needs more items. Amarr item.
Anyone have a more imaginative name to suggest??? Not a huge fan of , but I'm drawing a blank here...

Jump Pack
CPU: 116
PG: 24
Jump time: 1.25 seconds.
Jump height: 6.25m (5m/s)
Cooldown: 15 seconds.

COR-71 Jump Pack
CPU:180
PG:44
Jump time: 1.75 seconds.
Jump height: 9.625m (5.5m/s)
Cooldown: 12.5 seconds.

Carthum Jump Pack
CPU: 248
PG: 56
Jump time: 2.5 seconds.
Jump height: 15m (6m/s)
Cooldown: 10 seconds.

Nope MATAR one

Jet packs might be a little to OVERPOWERED.

But considering all the ROOF UPLINK spam the assault could be the ones in the dept of Height.

Let me explain.
Each class has two strong points :

Scouts: E-war + cloaks
HEavy: Point defense and CQ combat
Logi: Equipment and Versatility
Assault: Versatility.
Commando: Double L weapon wield (Damage versatility) {Guess this means commandos are lacking something too}

Assaults are missing something and height advantage could be it!

Jetpacks are a little too much, but what if:

GÖª Anti Gravity Belt / Equipment : For a specific amount of time , the user will be able to jump x2 / x2.5 / x3 times the regular height.

Example this is NOT well thought through, is just an instant idea):
GÖª STD: 10 secs of effect / Cooldown 15 / Jump height x2
GÖªADV: 20 secs of effect / Cooldown 15 / Jump height x2.5
GÖªPRO: 25 Secs of effect / Cooldown 10 / Jump height x3

All assault bonuses modified to reduce the CPU/PG requirements for this piece of equipment (in addition to the already existing one for Grenades/light and sidearms).

Who are we kidding? It will just be another Caldari item...

Why playing you not Planetside 2?~

Jet packs are the only good thing in Planetside 2.

This would also help a lot with countering rooftop/tower camping.

Make the suit lockable with swarms when the jet pack is active (and possibly for a few seconds thereafter as it cools down). Have the fitting work like the cloak with the Assault getting a bonus the way a scout does. You should be able to fire while jet packing, but only hipfire, and there should be a major penalty to dispersion.

Jet pack are always an interesting thing, maybe if they were an equipment...
