The thing about comparing Dust to other games with really high jump mechanics that no one seems to be pointing out is that in other games everyone jumps high, in Dust must people stay on the ground and only a few people in really niche (and poorly fit imo) suits are jumping high. It doesn't draw my immersion away from New Eden at all because of this little distinction. Extreme specializations are extreme.

Equipment can have drawbacks prebuilt into it; shield/armor regeneration is halted as auxiliary power is directed to the plasma thrusters, for example. Scan profile could also increase when the boosters are activated. There are options to balance equipment.

You figured it out. How did you guess?!

Nah. You would just have to give a drawback that would reflect one or two of those modules, we are only talking about one slot here. CCP has a track record of implement something and figure out how to balance it later. We'll just use that model!

^_^

either way current record for assisted jumps is 23ft about. The height were almost jumping (hard to judge considering how tall we are) but at apex of the jump to size of people on level ground looks the same from top of my house roof which is about 30 ft up. I mean if we get nylon and plastic to sling shot us that high. How hard would it be for a 400 years in space civilization to gene therapy from grasshoppers?

The things you listed are all some kind of nerf or balancing effort. Bunny hopping blue gatorade is neither of those things; it is silliness for silly sake.

If Eve had implemented a new weapon system that fired rockets filled with space ferrets that attack the enemy vessel on impact we would be comparing apples to apples.

First off, please read my trello card: https://trello.com/c/ndrbokFX

"Equipment that actively increases your jump height and/or distance. The base unit increases jump height and distance. A variant could exist that increases height much more than distance.

The heavier the dropsuit the less of a benefit you receive from this module. Like most pieces of equipment, it would have a cooldown. Another variant could offer reduced jump heights/distances but a faster cooldown."

I wanted a piece of equipment, not a passive module.

Second, I am not quitting Dust. I am taking a break for a while. If Rattati tones down the myofibs I will probably return sooner rather than later. I will absolutely sign in for the Warlords 1.1 launch. Chances of me purchasing aurum are nil until I see Dust's direction change back to a heading somewhere in the same ******* hemisphere as New Eden.

Sorry Aeon but setting a game down because of a lack of immersion is perfectly valid, no matter -how angry- that makes you.
