Pneumatic Catapult [Engineer]

Basically, a resupply option. Long CD, you step on it and activate it and it hurls you forward with speed. Good idea? Bad idea?

[Lumberchuk]

its a cool idea but i don't know if it will work gameplay wise. The engineer doesn't need more stuff either. Give it to the LA, if to anyone so he can be the movement control guy.

They already have this kinda thing in the battlements as a fixed thing. It's an interesting thing mechanic wise but made redundant by jumppacks and hot drops.

Basicly a deployible man cannon,

Not a bad idea, I was thinking of deployable ziplines that can be decon or auto decon as a support tool in planetside 1.

Its an ok idea, like others have said it is made redundant by hot drops, jump packs, and jump pads. Although at best it could be a situational item/ability but it could add some interesting gameplay depending on whether this is suppose to be a long range cannon or short range.

good idea/

[Azren]

Nah, this is not Tribes. We got the LA for this kind of stuff.

This I do not approve of!

If I understand correctly, these are basically deployable jump pads? That would be interesting, attackers could launch their way over an enemy wall, but since they all land in the same place they become easy targets for a MAX camping with a flamethrower, so the engineer has to keep on moving it around.

As has been said, that would make the LA entirely redundant. "Hurling themselves forward with speed" is the only thing they have going for them.
