battle rank upped / petition

[skater_d]

yes or no to having higher battle ranks.

[TeraHertz]

no.

have higher "abilites" instead.

You get to BR20. Thats enough to be flexible, but restrictive enough to force you a little bit of specilisation, or a weaker generality.

Once you get past BR20, you can gain abilites the same way you do when going up command ranks.

[EarlyDawn]

I agree, no additional points please, I want elite specializations.

[321]

No, we don't want people having all the certs.

How about Specialists ranks, like when you heal, revive, repair etc. you get experience points towards Engineer Specialist and Medical Specialist. The higher ranks would let you heal/repair faster as well as unlock special abilities on the BANK, ND and Medical Applicator.

Then again, I'm always shocked how little love the support classes get considering they are the least likely to be exploiting and most likely to be self-sacrificing without any form of recognition. Spawn is working? Turrets are firing? That stuff just happens automatically, right? No.

Great ideas! What sort of special abilities would you like to see?

[Rayder]

Meh, no super-cert chars. Maybe more detailed characters for people that go above br20.

For the BANK and ND, I'd make the repair time quicker at higher ranks. I can't think of any new abilities for them, although I'd love to see a BANK size ND for stealthers to carry. Perhaps it could require a higher Engineer Rank and might only hold 50 repair units or something.

As for the Medical Applicator, it would have new settings:

1: Heal stamina on others
2: Heal stamina on self
3: Activate all implants on others
4: Activate all implants on self
5: Revive target faster, at full stamina, with all implants active

Something along those lines. I'm also holding out hope for stimpacks, but I heard some crap that they don't want to send any messages about "drugs" (even though we're blowing each other to pieces, somehow drugs are worse than violent death).

[Katanaboy]

They're not being blown to pieces, they're....lying down to go to sleep...

And I'm not smoking some chronic, I'm using makeshift incense.

that has to be the best idea i heard in a long long time

but i wouldnt know wat type of abilities u can un lock

[STEALTHKILLER]

I read this in another thread a long time ago, like once you reach ranks higher then BR 20 you can change the way your armor looks. Not the color though. It wouldnt give you any special abilaties, it would just be like the CR back pack and arm and shin things. Also i think what you guys have been saying would be good too.

[Otherick]

change ur amour? now that is kool, it would show others ur top of the line and would keep lamers away, well at least it should
