Maybe a variant on the repair tool that has a splash effect similar to the mass driver? (with more accuracy of course)

It shoots a concentrated cluster of nanites that repair a set amount of armor within the burst.

This would be better for keeping a group of allies healed instead of healing individual people at once, or for shooting a healing burst to a group of allies out of reach.

Reminds me of the medgun in Killing Floor, though that was more for healing allies then reviving them.

I don't much like the idea of a ranged nanite injector though. While it sucks to have to put away your weapon to revive a teammate, having to do so insures that players make sure the area is relatively safe first. Nothing sucks more then being revived and then immediately downed again. Especially if it results in total death.

If we have logis with nanite darts, there will be some who just camp around, sniping every corpse they see for warpoints, regardless of how many reds surround him.

Sounds similar to the medic-gun in Resistance 2 - fire a shot that fixes all friendlies in a (small) area upon impact.

Is usefull to avoid getting into the thick of battle, and might work better than repair-guns, when they are refusing to lock onto dropsuits.

I think it should be a varient of the remote repair tool. Instead of a stream, the device would shoot out needles that desolve when entering entering the body. Each needles is actually a capsule filled with a reviving nanite dose. The cool down would be 3 seconds or the needle clip would be five rounds and regenerate one dart/needle every 3 seconds. Shooting a team mate restores 50 armor. Perhaps shooting the enemy does the same thing, unfortunately.

Also, I am not sure if there is another thread for this, but I would like triage detection. That notifies you when you are being healed and from what direction. Friendly fire should be purple, since the radar can tell if the bullet came from a team mate. Green means you are being healed and should NOT sprint away and stay in range to take your medicine and not get yourself killed and our team down a clone. Yellow may be when you get accidentally healed by an enemy. You would lose war points for healing an enemy.

The triage needler pistol/dart gun, should be far less effective on vehicles if it works at all.

Also, I see no reason you can't inject yourself unless you are completely incapacitated. Of course, there would be an animation to go through and a cool down, thus being worthless under direct fire. If you can heal yourself when downed, the enemy is allowed to dead check you and could see you going for the needle, which would be used by R1.

I would be intrigued by a "Nanite Injector Dart", though I think it should be inaccurate at long ranges, and the revival should be delayed compared to the usual Nanite Injection, as to not obsolete the current method. Possibly more intensive CPU/PG-wise?

So now, you can farm your teammates for points (reviving while they are still getting shot at) without having to put yourself at risk. What could go wrong?

As a logi I like the idea of safety, but I have to agree with Edu here. The potential for abuse is too high.

CCP would also first have to introduce the ability to finish off a downed opponent. Just imagine turning your back on a kill only to have them remote revived to shoot you in the back.

This game is set in the future. I am assuming that in the future we would make it easier for our medics(logi's) to do their jobs just as we have made it easier for infantry(assualt) to do theirs.

Ugh.

I hate to disagree with a corp mate, but please, no "triage dart". I, too, agree that this game is set in the future...but I also assume the laws of physics won't change...at least ont in a dozen millennia or two.

Any projectile that is able to penetrate armor at range should not do "nice things" to the recipient of said projectile. I assume the normal nanite injector works because the person delivering it can inject into set locations...either an I.V. port or the more flexible, less armored joints between armor plates.

There should always be risk in recovering/reviving a downed teammate...and I do agree that there should also be a coup de grace capability. (Haven't tested yet...but there _might_ already be one. Anyone tried to headshot a downed opponent just to see what happens?)

There is the issue of camping and such...but I'll make another post about altering the reward system to discourage such camping.

I wouldnt like that. This will lead to logis reviving squad mates in enemy territory for them to get killed again. Easily missuseable.

Yes, but I would classify that as a bad logi guy. A good logi is hard to come by.
