Leap Implant


Would be a great idea. It would work exactly like melee booster, except that it boosts your jumping height. Make it so it won't go higher than a base wall unless you're in infiltrator armor, and you got yourself some good ol' non-unbalancing infiltrator love.

No?

That idea has the potential to be lot's of fun. Would have to playtest it to get the right height/stamina cost and everything, but on paper it certainly has potential.

Sounds good to me... or perhaps a variant that would allow you to climb or scale surfaces like base walls, trees, and those unclimbable mountain peeks. Would be great for snipers as they could get in trees and high up ledges and also allow another entry into a base... though I have reservations about that one... it's hard enough to fend off the Zerg from a few entrances without them swarming the walls too... I like your infiltration limit to wall jumping though�

Also, a leap or climb implant might be a NICE replacement for the controversial "Surge"...

I could see this never being implemented, you know people would run around jumping all the time, and surging, unless Leap would be like a 50 drain.

I always liked that climbing idea, i think it would be great, but nothing should replace surge...you ppl just hate it because you never used it.

This is an awesome idea, and I support it wholeheartedly. I have always wanted a way to get inside a base without sneaking through back doors or front gates, that does NOT involve getting an aircraft and abandoning it. Whenever I am in a base and I see a speeding aircraft just suddenly disappear and there's an explosion and no kill-sign, I immediately go looking.

I would like to see wall-scaling or tree-climbing, but I could do with the leap too. Although if it were me designing it, I would make a serious chunk of Stamina disappear for each leap, so you don't get bunny-hopping Matrix wannabes.

50 stamina pure jump sounds fair.

That's a bit of a stretch... imagine jumping into a base and then needing to turn on darklight, audio amp, or something else.

I'd go lower and say 30. That's a nice fat number.

nice idea but a lot of problems would have to be addressed.....mainly the ammount of stamina that it is used....like one good jump take 25 or 50 percent stamina. Surging and then jumping should probably eat up most of your stamina. definitly interesting though.

Sorry, but I'm totally against the idea. The main reason that I love the Vanu MAXs is because of their jump jet ability. It's something unique to them which greatly increases their effectiveness in certain situations, and handing it out to any infantry to be able to do cheapens it too much.

You Vanu want to be the only ones able to bypass chokepoints in all situations? Think about it for a minute. Empire flavor doesn't mean ridiculously overpowered tactical supremacy.
