KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3064	Posted - 2012.10.29 02:39:00 - [1] - Quote I think it would really add to the game if there were types of modules for dropsuits that had to be activated (like vehicle armor repairers, and vehicle shield boosters). They could be used for temporary effects. [Possible dropsuit active modules] The upcoming infantry cloaking could be one of such modules. Speed burst: Walking and running speed are doubled for a short period of time. Disguise: Temporarily makes you appear as a friendly to your enemies (Your name turns blue to them) "Radar" spoofing: Making red dots appear on the enemy's minimap, as well as making red chevrons appear on their HUDs to distract them. Shield booster: Releases a massive increase in shields. Barrier: A large defensive wall of plasma molded into shape by an electromagnetic field to not only protect the user, but those around him. X-ray vision quick scan: Pulses of X-ray radiation is emitted from the module, and then then picked up when it bounces back to reveal locations of enemies through walls. Should only last about a second to give a general idea of where enemies are concentrated at. *EDIT: The ACTIVE SCANNER equipment already occupies this role, but the scanner has no visual feedback, click here for solutions for the active scanner.* Anti-personnel stasis webifier: A module that fires a stasis web from the wrist of the player to temporarily slow down enemies hit. The active modules should have cool visual effects to signify when they are in use. A speed burst module for example could cause a blue tint in the screen, and the X-ray module could an X-ray vision see-through-walls effect for a second. The specific ideas for active dropsuit modules I suggested are no important, but I would like some nice active dropsuit modules. Having to actively use something is kind of like having a superpower, which are really fun. I have been wanting something like this since before I was in the beta, watching vids online, and looking for any scrap of news about the game that I could get about the game on the dust514.org website. Actively doing things is always more fun than having it done for you passively. EDIT: [Request] Explosive shield discharge infantry module KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf wrote: It would be nice to have an infantry active module, or equipment that allows us to destroy our own shields to produce an area-of-effect shockwave to hurt enemies within the blast radius. The damage output could depend on how much shields a player has, and each increased tier gives more damage per amount of shields. Since the damage depends on how much shields you have when it activates, it can't be abused for high damage by those whose shields are almost down anyway. If you have very little shields to sacrifice then you won't get much, but if you have a lot to lose then you get more out of it. There could be variants with higher blast radius, or for more damage. Each would have their own weaknesses to balance their advantages. The usefulness of this would depend on the situation, and might be quite a gamble. High risk high reward is fun. Something like this could be done for vehicles as well I'm sure.

Actively doing things is always more fun than having it done for you passively. Personally, I would love to see the option to fit thermal imaging gear like that used in a tank, and some of the ideas you suggested were hinted at in the DevBlog that mentioned Command suits as AOE buffs and debuffs that they can provide. Yes, I know they're supposedly called "Crusader" now, but I just can't take that name seriously.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3064	Posted - 2012.10.30 00:16:00 - [3] - Quote Hopefully crusaders will have active modules as well, instead of just passive ones.
Governor Odius Doomheim 177	Posted - 2012.10.30 00:59:00 - [4] - Quote Near as I can tell "active module" is going to mean "equipment" for infantry.

The radar spoofing could be a equipment, and even then, a EM jammer would be cooler I like this better for the berrier Wall hacks are okay last one is ******* stupid the rest are cool.
Captain-Awesome Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 349	Posted - 2012.11.13 12:03:00 - [6] - Quote this could be good if done right abuse could obviously be a problem and method of getting these would obviously mean giving an even greater advantage to those with the skill points to those who don't. I hope ccp monitors the chain effect on weapons and game play these will have also, these types of items would be of most use in skirmish scenarios. they should take up equipment slots or be attached to the suit to make the user look into purchasing other suits to add variety to their inventory. cool downs should be present with limited amount of use (restockable)

Agreed Speed burst: Walking and running speed are doubled for a short period of time. Agreed though shouldnt be available for heavies imo Disguise: Temporarily makes you appear as a friendly to your enemies For this game's sake, please dont. I just hate all those free kill methods. Will either be useless or OP and boring "Radar" spoofing: Making red dots appear on the enemy's minimap, as well as making red chevrons appear on their HUDs to distract them. [/b] meh, not my cup of tea, many more usefull things to do before Shield booster: Releases a massive increase in shields. [/b] Would make sense to have active shield boosters with a pretty long cooldown. or shield rep. Barrier: A large defensive wall of plasma molded into shape by an electromagnetic field to not only protect the user, but those around him. Could be a cool idea. Would it stop ennemy bullets only or also friendly rounds that you or mates would try to shoot through ? IMO, should stop everything X-ray vision quick scan: Pulses of X-ray radiation is emitted from the module, and then then picked up when it bounces back to reveal locations of enemies through walls. Should only last about a second to give a general idea of where enemies are concentrated at. Why not. Anti-personnel: A module that fires a stasis web from the wrist of the player to temporarily slow down enemies hit. Not a bad idea, but i think stasis grenade would fit the purpose in a more logical matter I like the general idea. In fact, some infantry equipment should already work that way. Active scanners should be something to activate through weapon wheel just like any active module for vehicles and have a cooldown. See quote for further observation on your suggestions. And now, a few suggestion on my part. All work for a specific amount of time and then need cooldown Radar Jammer : Equipment that would massively decrease profil signature of the user and people in area around him. Better tier versions would enhance effect duration and area of effect. Armor reps : tbh, i always felt like armor reps should have been active module all along. Shields auto-regen its a fact. But armor reps use nanites that should be activated. Add a cooldown and raise armor rep rate and you balance armor\shield classes regarding infantry. Stamina boost : get a massive boost of stamina. Should be a biotic module. Different tier would only raise duration time. Cooldown lowered by linked skills. Tracking chip : Gives a boost in optimal range and weapon's accuracy. (say 5-10-20% for each tier. duration 1 min then 1.5 then 2 minutes. Cooldown of 3 minutes. Linked skill(s) reducing cooldown so you can reach 2 minutes cooldown.) Overloading chip : Similar to EVE's system, would overload every module on the suit. Boosting by X% every attributes given by non-active modules. (amount of shield for extenders, rep rate, regen rate, biotics, weapon upgrade, weapons) But would degrade those at the same time. => Exemple, you start with all your fit at 0% bonus. Launch basic overloading chip => +5% bonus to all modules => end of cycle, every modules is now -5% compared to basic stats. => Cooldown over, launch basic overloading chip => Get back to +5 bonus. Every tier would raise bonus and malus. maybe skills could lower kickback. I think i could keep on finding stuff whole day so i'll just stop right there ^^
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 1849	Posted - 2012.11.13 13:05:00 - [8] - Quote Equipment is a whole selection of items which you have to equip in place of your weapon and activate manually, most of which have some form of ammo count as a restriction on their use. Modules wouldn't have ammo limits, but would instead have cooldowns - and possibly use a certain amount of capacitor charge if such a system is added (possibly coming for vehicles, no confirmation I know of for Dropsuits). Kind of like active modules in vehicles do now. Another important difference is that you can activate a module, and it just constantly does its thing while your weapon is still in your hands, free to be used at the same time.

If the equipment slot is where active modules go, then shield tanked Heavies won't have access to shield booster modules, or armour hardeners if/when they add them. Equipment is for equippable items that you hold in your hands. Modules are activated instead of being equipped. I wouldn't object to equipment that operates like an active module, but at least some of these suggestions would be better suited to a different system. You could maybe replace the grenade slot with an active module, so you hit L2 to turn it on/off.

Oh but i didnt mean to have all active stuff requiring an equipment slot either mate ^^ Just, based on what the module does, some would fit more an equipment slot. Such as an actual active scanner you would only need to activate, not hold in hand. (honestly, this equipment would work a lot more like intended this way). Or the X-ray scanner, or Anti-personnal webifier or radar jammer suggested by OP. All sound more like equipment, no matter active or not. To me, equipment doesnt necessarily mean you need to hold it in hand. Just that its not suit integrated but more like stored in your belt's pocket But considering all the active shield boosters, biotics, armor rep i or the OP suggested ... of course they would use regular low and high slots. No debate there.

SOME equipment that functions like an active module, where you select it to toggle on or off, or where you activate it on a cooldown, would be great.

J'Jor Da'Wg KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 648	Posted - 2012.11.14 01:22:00 - [18] - Quote I mind of imagined active modules as being similar to the nanosuit abilities in Crysis, mixed with EVE's capacitor and cooldown. As long as there are militia versions of the modules too, so it doesnt favor those with SP unfairly.

Melee DMG burstl: A low-slot module that provides a larger increase to melee dmg than the passive booster but for a short amount of time. with a large cooldown. Jumping modifier: A low-slot module that provides a very large, and very short increase to your jumping capabilities with a large cooldown. (I would also like a passive module like this aswell, with a lower boost, but permanant.)

Nicol Bolas Planeswalker Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 102	Posted - 2012.11.15 03:32:00 - [30] - Quote Anti-gravity module: Temporarily allows user to levitate. Could be an easy solution for all the jet pack talk we see here. Snipers like myself certainly won't abuse this. AV module inhibitor: Disable active modules of vehicles within x radius. This could easily be broken down to affect shield or armor tankers in particular. Radar Spoof: Allows user to appear as a HAV, Derpship, LAV, etc. Acts as disinformation to force unnecessary tactic from enemy. Think squad of swarm launchers shows up to tackle Duvolle..... Hammer of Thor: Allows user to throw grenades with extreme range and velocity. Edit: Energy burst: Completely deplete shield and stamina to deliver a powerful close quarters energy burst. Could quickly end CQC dancing at the expense of leaving the user temporarily vulnerable.

RedBleach LeSanglant Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunterz RISE of LEGION 136	Posted - 2012.11.15 21:05:00 - [31] - Quote Wow, i've read this stuff before and commented often so I'm glad CCP is looking into this stuff. I love the energy burst Idea - one more reason to tank shields and run into a group with a suicide bomb as well :) oh, fun times. I agree with misdirection tactics, and the use of sacrificing passive gains for a single burst in an emergency. Plowing shields into a repper for faster repair at the expense of the logi, or forming shields are all things I have supported and continue to believe would make play far more interesting and unique - and hard to counter. But that is part of the fun, oh and horray for infantry only maps (weely post)!

Wall clinging: to climb sides of buildings slowly wing suit: to glide jump pack: that boosts jump height, not a jet pack that allows flight, uses more stamina per jump reaction thrusters: allow turning and direction change in flight like some arena shooters auto impact dampner: like the one from falling, but works when hit by vehicle and turns on by itself when falling. strafe booster: raises strafe speed, uses stamina like sprinting, allows firing while sprint strafing. Equipment rope ladders: add a deployable ladder down from somewhere tall. This would let scouts with mobility modes get up somewhere then deploy this to let the rest of squad follow.

CPU and PG requirements of such modules should be carefully considered, and implementing the modules could take place with a general module rebalance initiative. One possible way to implement them would be to have them take an equipment slot (as the interface mechanic is already tied to there). In this case, the balancing should be considered from the point of view of equipment slot layout on suits. Another possible expansion would be to tie the active modules to suits with module bonus from SP, e.g. Assault V = 37,5% more active shield hardener strenght. Combining the two, some ideas for active module dropsuit perks: - logistics suit could have Repairer+Injector bonus (these should be one tool!) - assault Shield / Armor Hardener bonus (module that reduces damage taken, damage type specific) - heavy "Stance Solidifier" bonus (module that reduces sway from hits taken, long duration active) - scout Personal Cloaking Device duration bonus

And in fact, i'd say it would be better for those active modules to be set up on high and low slots. I'll explain : - If you put those on equipment slot, chances are that many people will lone wolf even more, favoring the use of an active module that will further booster their performance over a nanite injector or ammo. - On the other hand, when one would decide to give up a complex shield extender in order to add an active module that would, say, boost accuracy of their weapon for 30 sec. It's a different bargain, you clearly decide to have lower health for a good boost in accuracy that will last a short amount of time and then cooldown. So, it's pretty much the type of balance we have now : Complex damage ? Complex shield ? Else ? But, i agree that CPU\PG requirements would need much much attention.

Tho for slot layout I'd suggest that be tied to function of the module itself to maintain proper balance. If Mod adds to dps then it's a high slot, if it gives better armor EHP then it's a low slot, etc. This way not only is there a requirement for fitting the active mod but use of said mods is less likely to become broken via unintended consequences of multi-stacking the active mods with passive mods which contribute to the same overall effect (damage, defense, what have you). 0.02 ISK Cross

On that you'd put the active speciality. Not saying it's better than EVE style trade offs on mid and lowslots, but it feels the most natural way to me after some thinking (passive slot, passive slot, important active slot).

I think I see where you're going with that, and it does make a fair amount of intuitive sense. My concerns with linking active mods to equipment alone are as follows. 1) That it would preclude certain active mods from consideration (due to given fitting combinations allowing for game balance to be broken). Tho this could be mitigated (perhaps dealt with completely) via the use of stacking penalties applied to mods that contribute to the same stat. 2) That it would inflate the value of the equipment slot itself thus skewing balance between the dropsuit classes causing Logi suits to gain undo power/effectiveness due to their high number of equipment slots (this is the larger concern of the two as rendering the value of 3/4 of the dropsuits semi-obsolete would be detrimental to the overall game). CPU/PG balancing could somewhat counter how far a Logi suit could stack active mods but Logi's already have some of the best CPU/PG out there due to their support role so if all active mods were bound to equipment slots this would still leave the other suits lagging behind. Please let me know if I've overlooked/misunderstood something in your proposal. Cheers, Cross

Actually, this topic needs even more publicity NOW as CCP is designing the racial suit lines. The new suit balance needs to take active gear into account beforehand. I tend to look at balance within a paradigm of "does the new introduction extend what it present without breaking it" as new features/items that break current game functions have game wide balance implication essentially generating extra work as each new release then requires another full game balance sweep. So while I agree active mod introduction is a bigger issue than a specific dropsuit I do think that current game state (which includes certain dropsuits) is a greater issue than introduction of a new feature (be that active mods or something else). Active mods need to be phased in very carefully, as (depending on the mod and implementation) they could heavily favor a given suit or play style. Equipment only active mods would favor Logi, mods that "feed" off of shields would favor the Scout due to fast regen. Mods that grant short bursts of high mobility would favor Heavies as they overturn a fundamental limitation of the class. Speaking of Heavies they don't really have equipment slot access so an equip slot centric active mod implementation would preclude their use by Heavy players game wide. I wholeheartedly agree that as CCP moves toward the introduction of racial suit lines and gear variations keeping the implications of active mods in mind is vital for future balance. thanks for the continuing discussion o7 Cross o7

Could work like you get boosters now, or bought like a mod... id lean towards the mod style I like the idea of having these as the current type of boosters we have now in Dust, just add some extra slots. OR the passive booster could be exactly that and be a passive skill that's enabled all the time for a certain time period. ISK versions would degrade very quickly, whereas Aurum versions would degrade slowly. I do also like the idea for these just to be modules or boosters like in EVE, I just think more options for boosters (the Dust version) can only be a good thing for CCP.

I am not sure what the coding side would require but adding "active slots" to the dropsuit lines could be very promising depending on how it was rolled out. 0.02 ISK Cross

Whether that is the best solution is open for debate but my own view is one of two options: - Option one: Boosters fit into current slots depending on what they are. "Berserk Pill" could be an equipment slot as it would require "ammo" to use. Other boosters could be some kind of injector or pack that can be used on other peopl or yourself (if you've ever played Brink you may know what I mean). Shield boosters would take up high slots and work as they do in EVE and armour reps would do the same. Access to these would be through the weapon wheel. - Option two: Boosters as "superpowers" work as the current in-game "Augmentations". These would have a limited time use and would fit into the two categories of active and passive boosters (which are already in the game). They would work similarly to how they work in option one, being selected from the in-battle weapon wheel.

Option one is my current general frontrunner for the implementation of active mod in general (tho having a specific active mod slot is still an interesting concept to me it's by no means something I'm 'married to') Option two is an intriguing concept that may open up some interesting options, either a wider AUR market for CCP or some ISK market options for those without AUR to make use of the augmentation slots (perhaps additions of both kinds?) 0.02 ISK Cross
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3158	Posted - 2013.03.14 04:36:00 - [84] - Quote This also fits: Infantry Jumper (based on this) Infantry equipment that makes the user capable of instantly teleporting, or "jumping" from one spot to the next after charging.Tthe device will allow the user to jump over 100 meters in any direction where aimed; even straight up into the air. There is also a considerable cooldown after the jumps. Standard: Infantry Jumper Range: 120 meters Charge: 4 seconds Noise rating: medium Overheat rate: 50% per jump Cooldown rate: 30% per jump Standard: Stealth Infantry Jumper Range: 100 meters Charge: 4 seconds Noise rating: low Overheat rate: 50% per jump Cooldown rate: 30% per jump Standard: Breach Infantry Jumper Range: 160 meters Charge: 7 seconds Noise rating: loud Overheat rate: 60% per jump Cooldown rate: 30% per jump Standard: Quickjump Infantry Jumper Range: 80 meters Charge: 2 seconds Noise rating: medium Overheat rate: 20% per jump Cooldown rate: 20% per jump Active modules, equipment, or weapons, as long as we get cool stuff, it matters not to me.

The Aurum market can definitely do with more options as personally I don't think I could justify paying real money to just lose something in battle, but I could easily justify spending money on something that is a little more permanent than an accidental death in skirmish, and I'm certain that I'm not alone here. As for the idea of these "infantry jumper" modules: they need work and I'm not sure this is the discussion for them but my 0.02 isk is that the range is, well, ludicrously ridiculous as well as the cooldown. Maybe a jump of 10 meters and a cooldown of 60-180 seconds would be far more reasonable. Back to the topic, I think both option one and two could work combined. We get more permanent stats as augmentations that give small boosts over long periods of time AND we have active boosters which give huge boosts and are used up in battle as either equipment or a new fitting slot.
