Hey guys,
My idea for a future equipment type, the "Inertial Capacitor", would be a tacticians best friend. Essentially the exact opposite of the Inertia Dampener, the Inertial Capacitor would use similar technology to create an momentary inter-spacial disturbance that would fling its user at high speed in whatever direction it is pointed.
Essentially you would take out the device, hold down R1 until it is charged, and then when you release the button there would be a small burst of blue energy that fires to towards your reticle. This would allow snipers to find creative perches, blitzers to close the distance between them and their target, and infiltrators to leap fortress walls. This could of course be balanced by adjusting stats such as cost, range, charge time, cool-down time, resource requirements, etc. as to avoid making it overpowered.
...So? What do you think?? Feel free to add your own suggestions to this as well  |

Further details:
I whipped up a picture of what this device looked like when I was first picturing it (though it could look like all kinds of things and still work fine)
http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/89187i0AA384D1A8931EE4/image-size/original/is-moderation-mode/true?px=-1&v=mpbl-1
This is what it could look like in first person view. The center ring would spin rapidly as you charge it up, pouring glowing streams of energy into a plasma-like ball of sci-fy energy that grows bigger with time until it is fully charged. Then when the device is fired it would unleash a small explosion of inertia-dampener-like energy, somehow manipulating or altering the laws of physics and even space itself for a brief moment that sends the user hurtling through the air in the direction the device was aimed. |

Yeah, that'd be awesome. It'd probably resulting in more people comparing this to Planetside 2. Though, that's no reason to ignore this idea. I like the charge part, that should help balance it a bit. |

To be honest, even though this seems like fun, I would recommend setting it up to avoid making it one of those abuse-prone tools.
1. There should be a charge time of 1.5-2 seconds for all tiers (Standard, Advanced, and Prototype)
2. Jump distance should increase and noise level should lower as you progress from Standard to Prototype. Perhaps introduce a covert inertial capacitor at level 5 with a proficiency prerequisite that has no noise emitting from it.
3. Trajectory should be ballistic, not controlled mid-flight. |

...Actually, this is very much like the way that I pictured it. Kudos! And good idea with the covert version, I hadn't thought of that!
I agree, it should be completely uncontrolled in-air, much more like firing yourself our of a cannon than like a jetpack.

I agree. I think this is kind of in line with the forge gun, in that the charge-up time would be what determines if this is over-powered. I mean the forge gun works well due to it's charge-up time, but it too must have sounded overpowered when someone said "let's add this HUGE gun that fires blasts of lightning that can destroy an entire vehicle in one hit!"

 Let me write some flavour text, how's this:
M1-EAE Basic 'Inertial Capacitor'
While technically incorrectly named, the 'Inertial Capacitor' at first glance would justify its misgiven title. Colloquially known as a 'jump jet', it is a bulky but man-portable device, attached to hardpoints on the dropsuit's back. It is a powerful rapid launch system designed to help reach normally inaccessible heights, and to escape unfavourable combat. When coupled with a dropsuit's built-in inertial dampener, heights pose no obstacle to the user.
A basic inertial capacitor operates on a collect-and-launch principle; the source of this misleading name. When triggered, the pack ionises an extremely large volume of the local atmosphere, vacuuming and then compressing it. It then magnetically launches this volume out at an extremely high velocity, effectively propelling the user in the desired direction. Such a system eliminates the burden of carrying fuel reserves as one would with conventional thrusters, but requires large power reserves.
Basic models tremendously drain the dropsuit's power supply before launch; putting the suit into a dangerously low-power state and effectively paralyzing the user until the unit fires off. Advanced models may include more energy-efficient power consumption and intelligent momentum compensators, to allow the unit to be triggered while moving. Covert options do exist, constructed with acoustic damping in mind.
...it's probably not scientifically possible, but SCIENCE FICTION YAY (the super-make-believe kind and not that hardcore stuff anyway) |

I support, but offer a correction:
As the Inertial Dampeners we use currently act by eliminating Newton's First Law from the equation, the technology of the Inertial Capacitor will be identical from a physics standpoint - you are still accelerating, just in a different fashion than the other usage.
The only difference would be a terrain lock-on and dropsuit motor synch system to ensure that the suit goes in the proper direction once the system is engaged.
What this translates to, is that you engage your Inertia Dampener and you simply jump at the target area to use the effect for mobility.
It makes sense to have a system that performs multiple functions when possible, so I support your suggestion. |

I would also like to say that such a module would have to propel you with the inertia damp effect on, seeing as they are based on the same technology. This prevents you from taking falling damage while using it, which would be an important facet of the mobility function. |

The main thing this would help snipers do is get to their perches easier, which they can already do pretty well right now, albeit a few seconds to minute slower as they wander around the building looking for a ladder.
On the contrary, this would probably actually make ANTI-snipering easier, as there would be a better alternative to sniping back at him when an assault carrying this equipment could just leap up there and shoot the sucker in the face while he fumbles with his big clunky sniper rifle 
So while this would help snipers, along with everyone else, it might actually reduce the sniper problem |

I think that this would be a good alternative to jetpacks and jump jets for several reasons:
1) Unlike them, this could be a hand held device like all of the other equipment, and so it would mesh much better with CCP's current customization system and be compatible with all the suits without any modifications to the models or special suit types.
2) It would work in a vacuum
3) It would be incapable of sustained flight (so people couldn't go shotgunning the passengers ourtof dropships and such)
4) Noobs wouldn't be confused by WHY it can fly like they probably would with a jumpjet
5) It would require a certain amount of skill and precision to land where you want without killing yourself
What do think? |

If you want to go with the EVE nomenclature you probably should name it something along the lines of "Jump Device".  |

On that note, you can always consider breaking your fall with inertia dampeners.
Not sure this would be good as it is usable by all sides and could be sorely abused to the point of destroying any ability to use terrain and obstacles for tactical advantage.
On the other hand, I have had to run a 1/2 km to the walls of a Command Center just to get inside and make my way towards an already well defended and secured objective too many times to count today. I understand Defender vs Attacker, but by the time you get there they've taken the whole place.
Dropping a vehicle just wastes half the running time with deployment, and then you have to get in, so I'm not sure this helps.
On the other hand, on one of those occasions I was Snipered up in a Scout suit running as fast as my legs would carry me, and I noticed objectives being secured within the walls by my team that were still a half km away for me. I don't think there is any vehicle that can deploy and get troops to a location within high walls that fast, so I just assumed that they teleported. |

On Topic: The idea is certainly one I'd enjoy trying to plan tactics around. A player could have his squad wait in deployment for him to launch himself as close to an objective as possible before throwing down a drop uplink for fast insertion. Or heck, just spamming it for giggles to pass the time. |

Technically the OP involved it manipulating the laws of physics (inertia, velocity, fabric of space-time, something like that) rather than compressed air. Works essentially the same, but it could be hand-held that way, and more awesome |

Even that would cause problems. They'd have to modify all the existing suits to accommodation a jetpack (the logi already has a huge pack full of equipment, so what would they do, wear TWO giant backpacks?). Additionally, you'd either have to wear it all the time, or else they'd have to come up with some explanation for how you pop a jetback out of thin air and slap it on.
On a gameplay note, I don't think CCP wants people floating around. Cover is irrelevant for people who are flying, and the tactical use of cover is the main thing aside from your ability to aim that makes combat require any skill. I think CCP likes people having to bob and weave around cover rather than having everyone just float around, blazing their guns at each other until someone dies...
Overall, I think this may well be a cleaner and more unique way of giving people the vertical mobility that they are looking for without ruining the type of gameplay that CCP is looking for or making them have to rework the customization system.
Besides, aren't spacemen with jetpacks becoming a little cliche? |

That's more or less the idea of the OP. Take it out, charge it up, aim it, and release the trigger to release a burst of energy-field glow that flings you into the air! |

I'm sure CCP's design teams would figure out the most awesome asthetics for this idea (they do great stuff). Though assuming that incorporating chest/back items into their customization system would be as complicated as I'm imaging it to be, this concept has the added advantage over jetpacks/jumpjets in that it could be entirely handheld, making it as easy to implement as any other piece of equipment. |

What variations do you guys think this should have? Here are a few idea i had:
1) I'm thinking that there could be a tactical version that doesn't need to be charged up much to launch, but it has a MUCH shorted range and maybe even a cooldown time afterwards (this would just be for jump onto cars, really short walls, etc.)
2) You could also go the other way with this, making another variant that has a VERY long range (maybe as much as 200 yards for a prototype) but it has to charge for a good 10-20 seconds before hand, and doesn't ever let you walk while it charges.
3) "Maken Tosch" suggested a covert version that doesn't make any noise, and that could be pretty useful...
How many other types can you guys think of? |

I think the only way to implement this without breaking the game is a 3 second charge, 30 second cooldown, a relatively slow flying speed(slow enough to be able to shoot at it) and maybe it depletes half shields because of energy consumption(shield depletion could be tweaked depending on tier.) |

Oh yeah definitely. I was picturing a charge time at or above that of a forge gun, and certain models could even slow/stop you from moving while charging. This would allow plenty of time for you to finish someone off before they jump as they sit there "holding the little red button". |

We're not necessarily talking about flying 100s of feet. Most versions would probably only toss you 1-4 stories high.

I'd suggest this equipment be established as a Minmatar deployable device to "compete" against the Amarr Drop Uplink. Upon deployment, the operator sets the trajectory and angle using the interface provided by OP. This way the "Inertial Capacitor" is set up and can be used by anyone on the team. Drop uplinks allow clones to insert tactically using warp technology, while "Inertial Capacitors" allow clones to move across the field rapidly and incredibly recklessly.
Personnel simply walk up to the device, hold the "interact" button/key to charge the potential energy/inertia until it reaches maximum then it flings them in the established destination. However this equipment only has a certain amount of charges depending on its meta level and ceases to function once all charges have been depleted.
In reverse engineering Amarrian warp technologies, Minmatar engineers developed a method of creating a miniature tear in the continuum that allows instantaneous acceleration by eliminating the time lapse and distance traveled to reach top speeds. This provides a rapid means of traversing terrain by launching personnel through the atmosphere, albeit recklessly.
For example, you want to reach a top speed, but in order to reach that speed, one needs to accelerate over a certain distance and for a certain period of time. By travelling through a rift in the time/space continuum, you can travel that distance and time in a relative instant. |

WOW, that actually sounds pretty cool! It's not quite what I had in mind, but this would still make for a very interesting item in and of itself! Heck, maybe they could add both versions, one the more adaptable version for personal use and the deployable one for team use.
Also, thank you for that great scientific-sounding explanation, I had been looking for something that would make this fit in with the "inertial dampeners" and such, and I think this may be it!
However, as the guy above me pointed out, this could almost become a griefing weapon in this form, as it would be entirely possible for someone to set one up so that it fires their teams right over the enemy wall and into a lava pit! :P
I would modify this to say that the unit displays a dotted line of it's firing trajectory on the HUDs of all nearby friendly solders (so they at least know if it's in the direction they want), as well as a requirement that the person who sets it up has to be the first to use it before it will fire anyone else, and that if this person does not survive impact, the unit self-destructs.
The other issue is that this would cause a different balancing, as ANYONE could use this version, even heavies, whereas the "firing yourself only" version would require you to have an open equipment slot. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does open up the possibility for entire squads of heavies to go flying over your walls, rather than one or two scouts/logies wanting to plant drop uplinks.
But seriously, great idea man, I'm glad you added that to this conversation :D |

It can be balanced by requiring the inertia dampner to survive the reentry that way if you drop right in front of someone you have a few seconds of the inertia recovery animation to get wasted, hopefully will disallow massive blitz drops by attackers and give defenders a counter
But then this idea will almost completely change the method of pace setting in this game, might make it too hectic. i for one would like a slower paced dust which would allow more tactical approaches to engagements |

They dont, random chance of failure to engage dampner in reentry causing personel fatality. You cant make a piece of equipment with such an advantage without an equally drastic disadvantage |

Well, honestly I think the level of coordination required may solve this itself. If some shotgun-wielding logy is able to find their target, charge the device, launch themselves to they actually land near the target, switch to their shotgun in midair, and shoot the guy, I almost think he deserves the kill :P
Besides, I'm thinking this would mostly be for stealth, infiltration, and sniping purposes anyway, as how many situations would make flinging yourself at the enemy more effective than using an assault rifle? And besides, don't we WANT to see more viable alternatives to the assault rifle once in a while anyway?
What do you guys think? |

But to that point, I'm not just doing this out of the blue. I hadn't logged into this website in ages since this game's development was going so slowly, but when I got in I saw in my notifications that this thread had gotten several comments I hadn't responded to.
So anyway, that's why I've suddenly been talking here again, on a thread that's been bouncing around for the better half of a year and many people like, and yet CCP has yet to give any sort of acknowledgement  |

A good name, I think, would be a "Nano Jump Drive" seeing as it's essentially a Micro Jump Drive (http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Micro_jump_drive) but for infantry.
The MJD jumps a ship in EvE 100 km in the direction the ship is facing after charging for 12 seconds.
They're basically the same, except this one is for Dust kittens. |

Yes but it should be impossible to shoot or throw grenades or do anything else during the jump.

Yeah, that would probably be true regardless. Even if they didn't block you from switching weapons in flight, I picture it being a lot like when you fly through the air after jumping from a moving dropship, in which case you would have HORRIBLE accuracy anyway aside from a few lucky shots... |

I love this idea. It's this more of a jump like arc or powerslide?
I imagine this one of two ways: one like a power slide that covers a short distance. If you played Mass Effect they have the power that covers distance for shotgunners to get a close shot. I would LOVE this, not only as a shotgunner but as a way to quickly get to cover.
The other way is merely as a really high or really long jump. Can you imagine fighting a forge gunner on a roof and being like "I got this, I'm going Superman" and jump right on that roof and blast him? I'm giddy just thinking about it. |

I know, me neither. Any way to get a word on what they DON'T like about it, so we can think of ways to change it?
Perhaps it would be better as a special ability for a suit. |

Don't worry. The idea will come eventually. It's just not high on the priority list at this very moment. Too many things to address.
CCP, please fix the Nova Knives. Thank you.

Arron Rift wrote:Hey guys, My idea for a future equipment type, the "Inertial Capacitor", would be a tacticians best friend. Essentially the exact opposite of the Inertia Dampener, the Inertial Capacitor would use similar technology to create an momentary inter-spacial disturbance that would fling its user at high speed in whatever direction it is pointed. Essentially you would take out the device, hold down R1 until it is charged, and then when you release the button there would be a small burst of blue energy that fires to towards your reticle. This would allow snipers to find creative perches, blitzers to close the distance between them and their target, and infiltrators to leap fortress walls. This could of course be balanced by adjusting stats such as cost, range, charge time, cool-down time, resource requirements, etc. as to avoid making it overpowered. ...So? What do you think?? Feel free to add your own suggestions to this as well
Well the drop suits are mostly metal and armor.. Maybe shoot us out of a rail gun :) |

Make it a hackable objective placed just outside the redzone. Have a hilarious challenge see if you can shoot yourself over to the enemy railgun and hack it to shoot yourself back without dying :) |

Why though? It's not like this will allow you to do something that a dropship couldn't do.

^This
it may even help with the camper-sniper problem, since campers are the main ones willing to risk ISK on a dropship just to get to their perch. This would make a cheap-enough solution for those who want to fling themselves up there just to bust their bunker |

says in description.
by using a spacial rift, you can get inertia to equal near zero.
and because the user's inertia is near zero, this allows for quicker, more instantaneous acceleration, or a higher m/(s^3)

Me too, but after today's announcement it will probably never happen, at least not in this game 
But who knows, maybe someone at CCP will remember this fondly and put it in the new game, assuming it's even still appropriate in that brave new world.
All that aside, I've really had a lot of fun talking with all of you on these forums, and especially in this thread. I appreciate you all supporting my ideas, and if the new game succeeds in being fun maybe I'll lend my oddball imagination to a few threads over there too. It's been a lot of fun, but unless things change there probably won't be much reason to post on this dying game's forums, and so I hope to see you all around, especially you Kagehoski.
Thank you for all your continued support and the many bumps, and if you send me a friend request on PSN (same name as here) I'll be sure to add you ;) |
