i think this is just bad.. so no plus i think the act of dragging someone would hurt plus if u can't get to the get to pick him up and get back to safety then the beam would be a dead giveaway to kill you as u don't have gun out and m

No more a giveaway than the Repair Tool currently is. And you are inside a suit of armor that can take a rail gun round to the chest and simply fall over I think it can survive being drug upon the ground towards a target for less than 10m.

Some of that from your poor grammar I did not understand the point you wanted to make.

lol this sounds more comical that useful. Whats going to be left to revive after you drug his body across a desert smacking anything in his way, or tractor beaming him off a roof and smacking the ground, or repeatedly smashing him against a ledge because you are at an elevated area.... XD

How about a dart gun with limited uses and range. Doesnt support nanohives or emplacements. Must change suits to refill, if it could be refilled actively it would be an easy exploit.

or we could just bend down and drag the body to cover

This is like forty thousand years into the future. I don't want to have to do manual labor like that. I want to drag the bodies with a fancy gadget.

Make it like 10m for range on the same plane so you cannot be higher or lower than your intended target and put it deeper into the skill tree so that only dedicated logistics operatives are using it and not being pulled randomly by someone when your down. Give it a higher CPU so that it functions really well on Logistics suits but not on others.

It would go a long way to seeing improved squad tactics on maps because then it would also become a fight for good medic locations and revive spots.

its just a lazy way of getting people up without risking themself to leave cover while giving a dead giveway to shoot this person. personally if this was ever allowed i would like it to force the use to bring the body there without the ability to change to a weapon or move so i can line up a head shot on them ending their cowardice ways.

i think i have said it before but yea. NO STAR WARS IN DUST PLEASE.

I think this should be the secondary fire mode of the flux gun itself, slowly drags the player in, better flux tool the faster it drags him in, also affected by the suit weight, so heavy takes longer then a scout

+1 to general idea

how about this: everyone can spec to the dragging bodies, and logy get the tractor beam. though i have a logy, in a scout suit, so it shouldnt be a logy only. actually i buy that it is a built in feature of the logy suit. hmm

It would be nice to take that stiff out of line of fire for rezz jab :) It often ends up with one more dropped dead. One fresh and the other reheated ;) Happenned to me twice today...

Should be well ballanced to not make logi job too easy...

EDIT:
or at least give us an option to carry the fallen... with the O button when near the body... and when in safety of some terrain obstacle, pressing L1 would deliver the jab after activating injector and bringing team member online...

This does sound like a great idea. It'll increase the Logi's capabilities on the battlefield and make them a lot more useful. And it will certainly cut down on the crappy revives some blue dots are giving.

As I have mentioned previously, carrying the fallen is not particularly possible as the work involved would be too complicated.

A re-skin or alt fire to the repair gun is the simplest option as the graphics already exist and so coding is all that needs to be done. If it was an alt fire then this skill could also be universal for all those running repair tools.

lol what awesome game are you playing where bluedots revive people? Oh wait you must have played with me, I'm pretty sure I'm the only blue dot who revives allies. hahaha

I play with mostly blues and I do my best to ensure that I revive those I am able to reach without getting shot myself to often though they respawn to quickly costing us a clone :(

Or if you really want to make better team work put the grapple points on the armor as an infantry item. No CPU and a minimal power requirement so that the tractor beam as something to lock onto. Combine with skills to become truly proficient with it squad tactics would just add one more layer in my opinion.

The problem with this is that coding plus animation and mechanics enabling all people to be able to drag a body would be far too much work. The best solution is clearly to add either an alt fire to the repair gun or, better yet, a new re-skinned tool with which to drag people, plus the relevant skills.

if anyone can do it, CPP can

Really? I don't think it's ever a case of "can" with CCP it's either "if" or "when". Of course they can make animations and pretty graphics but let's be realistic here: CCP have a lot to do and a lot in planning and a lot of works in progress. By making a suggestion as simple as possible without compromising the idea, then the higher chance we should have of seeing these features in game.

its not impossible. Arama has it in it. so, yes CCP can do it. its not too hard. the models dont need to line up perfectly

How about using O button on fallen teammates to drag them? From my observation of falling to the ground upon death in DUST, this looks as implemented with "ragdolls". When you fall down your position is automatically calculated and rendered by Un Real. No extra work needed by Devs to animate that "show".

Why not "join" fallen clone with an alive clone by hand upon pressing (or holding) O button? Then all you have to do is move (slower than usual and draining stamina) out of harms way dragging your patient along. All the animation is already here imho by Un Real. (Same for animation of "FiremanGÇÖs Carry")

When you are safe you press again (or release) O button. The "ragdolls" detach and you can rezrep the clone.

A tractor beam mode for repper when used on dead bodies (and accompanying skill as in EVE for tractor) would be awesome too

This is a very cool idea, tractor beaming allies to cover sounds great, why should your logi be exposed to danger? If people complain its overpowered, well thats what grenades are for, clearing cover.

I would also like to see a ranged hack tool, some of the bases are very exposed and it would be cool to have equipment to hack from cover.

I love anything extra to give us more options, maybe remote hacking could take longer, you know, for balance.

And should increase scan profile radius temporally. Oopsh. Wrong thread...

This one is on tractor beams for dragging fallen team mates to cover

how about this: everyone can spec to the dragging bodies, and logy get the tractor beam. though i have a logy, in a scout suit, so it shouldnt be a logy only. actually i buy that it is a built in feature of the logy suit. hmm

it would probably have to be one of the specialized logi suits that the dropsuit command skill hints at
