Personal Defense and Legs

So I was thinking about the varying sizes of shields and whas wondering if anyone thinks we're going to see armor that incorporates them when we get legs.

We could get different types of armor much like the ships with different defense capabilities for example you start of with a base rig/armor and you could equip modules for it like reactive or dense plates increasing thermal or kinetic defense. While also having a shield pack or belt also with modules to either get bi-weave shields for that faster recharge or regular shields with more strength.

On that same note weapons could come in various types and would more than make sense.

Also you could get thrusters for space walking and mag boots(which has to be incorporated regardless) and a personal life support system. Sensors could also be included into the helm or on your arm. Headlamps would be cool.

I'd like different types of armor like light medium and heavy.

Any thoughts Or things you would add?

Yep all sounds good to me. Mabe add tools like welder or atmospheric shields for hull breaches. A grapling hook?

Click to expand...

I am 100% down for a grappling hook. Would be useful on planets and maybe we could grapple onto ships during a boarding sequence so if the try to fly away or something you'd come with them and the welder could be used to breach the hull once your attached via mag boots or something.

What do you mean atmospheric shields like for the elements? Or for orbital drops?

I have theorized that hunter-killer drones would be an amazing thing to add to the game. They would attach to your canopy and attempt to burrow or cut their way through the glass and attack you directly.

They would have a few possible limitations to keep them from becoming OP:

- Illegal in most governments. You get scanned with them, you get a bounty.

- Relatively easy to evade. ECM, chaff, and point defense eats them for lunch.

- As a last resort, either the pilot or a (multi)crew member can shoot them directly with small arms if they manage to get through the canopy. Of course, you'll still have the canopy breath to deal with, but it's a heck of a lot better than getting murdered in your own Commander''s chair!

But what would this mean for character continuity! Death would be permanent - no rebuy screen but a reSTART screen!! Imagine the mayhem on these forums if death were implemented realistically!
