the idea is you go out pick them up bring them behind cover put them down, revive them, and rep them. carrying would be available for all suit types and you can even carry away enemies (for teh lulz).
obviously IGÇÖm aware of the potential for abuse of this mechanic (putting fallen friends in stupid places ect) and i think it would be hilarious.
I Think this would be a great system normally when people complain about the dangers of reviving they suggest healing grenades or injector guns which would be Overpowered as hell. This would be a great way to fix that problem with out it being abused in what ever manner a ranged revive would be.
I think larger suits should be able to carry smaller suits fireman style and suits that are the same size would half to drag bodies. This would be a great system with larger suits carrying members over the shoulder and dragging larger or equally sized suits along, while allowing the option for two people to help carry the same body. We would have heavies dedicated to grabbing the fallen and bring them to the Logi, teams of scouts working to bring back fallen comrades. could see emergency rescue mission in the middle of fire fights if who ever as the commander suit gets dropped in the middle of a field.
Quote:Well, there are tractor beams in Eve online, and said tractor beams can actually be usefull for retrieving dead bodies, or pushing live ones out of the way. Cool
A definate equipment slot item, and I actually like this idea. An equipment specifically designed to retrieve a live body from the safety of a cover with the purpose of springing them back to life.
I think it's worth testing out at least.
I wouldnt like a tractor beam tool it would have similar effects to the ideas of long range reviving. There has to be a risk involved and a way for the attacker to prevent it the revive. Also i would rather this be for any suit willing to take the risk for more spur of the moment uses and sense of heroism. If your tractor beaming bodies out of the danger zone after that person willingly went into the danger zone and reviving them it makes getting killed a minor thing, you would soon be revived again right back where you started sense a logi could preform the tractor beam all the time where as risk and reward must be weighed with going out there and A. Reviving them or B. Carrying/dragging them. |
