This thread is full of great ideas, and deserve CCP's attention.
I thought about a device that creates false enemy readings on the minimap, and as red chevrons on the HUD, this would be a great equipment device. Glad that its suggested.
I would love to see some EMP weapons, not just grenades, but maybe sidearms. EMP weapons should do lots of damage to shields, and even disable HUD functions temporarily.
Fully upgraded sensor equipment should be able to spot cloaked players. |

Some games have incendiary grenades whose fire can be used to block off paths. What if an electronic weapon filled that role?
I propose a deployable device using microwave radiation that causes intense pain (resulting in slowed movements, slow animations, and decreased accuracy) on mercs within its radius. It would be a portable version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System
It won't necessarily block off paths, but it will make certain paths highly unfavorable for enemies. |

That active denial system is no joke! Hurts like a SOB! Perhaps something like that that instead stripped off merc shields and slowed them down? Pain is hard to convey through a game.
Pain would be hard to convey, but the fact that its an active denial weapon or works with microwaves isn't as important as what its purpose on the battlefield is; making certain paths less accessible, or more dangerous for incoming enemies. The explanation behind the device can be made into something completely different (like a dropsuit hack or something). |
