Ulysses Knapse Nuevo Atlas Corporation 230	Posted - 2013.04.13 22:04:00 - [1] - Quote We all know that, for dropsuits, Armor Tanking is a pain. I have come up with a few ideas that will alleviate that. Energized Armor Layering Energized nano membranes designed to be layered on dropsuits to improve durability without increasing weight. Provides a smaller armor boost than Armor Plates, but is less power intensive and does not restrict movement. Nanite Armor Injector The Nanite Armor Injector is a nifty dropsuit module that automatically injects repair nanites when you need it. It repairs at a much faster rate than the equivalent Armor Repairer, but can only hold a fixed amount of repair nanites. After running out of nanites, you need to refill at a Nanohive or Supply Depot. Refilling takes about ten to twenty seconds, depending on the variant you are using. Rapid Nanite Armor Injectors repair more quickly, but only hold a small amount and take much longer to refill. Sustained Nanite Armor Injectors repair more slowly, but carry much more repair nanites and refill more quickly. Personal Armor Hardener The Personal Armor Hardener is a dropsuit module that reduces damage taken by your Armor for short periods of time. Upon activating, you have fifteen seconds of increased armor resistance. The Personal Armor Hardener has a cooldown period of forty-five seconds. Sustained Personal Armor Hardeners last longer and have a smaller cooldown, but provide less resistance. Rigid Personal Armor Hardeners provide more resistance, but last for a shorter amount of time and have a longer cooldown.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... nobody liked your idea. Hold your tongue, goo warrior. Cat Merc wrote: Any suggestions right now to Armor vs Shields are moot until Uprising. From the list of skills and new dropsuits, it seems obvious they have tweaked it, as well as confirmation on IRC from the devs that they have tweaked it. Save those precious internet bits for after Uprising. No, I'm not going to wait for development to stop so I can suggest something, I already went over this.

They can scrap concepts as necessary, even if they are working on something, if you suggest something better a monh or two before release they might be able to implement it. I never said development was rigid, it's just that you said I should wait for the new build before suggesting something because it coud likely be changing anyway, and as long as development is occurring most things can change, thus I said I didn't want to wait until they were done with development because that is basically what you are saying.

Compare armor plates with energized plating a la EVE. Garret Blacknova wrote: On Dropsuits, we don't have active modules. Who said anything about it being active? It works automatically. Garret Blacknova wrote: Again, this doesn't work as a module under the currently-planned system, because it sounds like it's designed for Heavies, but it would be impossible to fit on a Heavy suit because of the lack of equipment slots. It's not a piece of equipment.
