When playing in conflict zones, I find myself constantly pressing the crouch key to slide-to-crouch whilst sprinting similar to other modern FPS games out there.
I was thinking maybe it be possible to add this functionality in during a future patch and I think I've came up with a solution already added in Odyssey to help make it work and be more believable on lower gravity planets and higher gravity ones: The Jump Pack
Currently, the jump pack is used to propel you through the air, but I feel like you could also retool this to allow the player to slide a short distance when holding the crouch key and sprinting, consuming some jump pack thruster juice to give you a very short boost of speed to slide across the ground. This could also be used in combination with the jump pack, the player can use it to boost themselves over short terrain (such as those small tent-like buildings in agricultural settlements) and land into a slide with a small boost from the jump pack across the ground, ending the animation in a crouched position.
I feel like this adds a nice transition between standing and crouched states whilst in combat. Though I'd love to gather more feedback from others on how they'd do such a thing, I'm not talking Titanfall 2 levels of 'sliding at mach 10 across the settlement' but just short distance stuff.
