Basic idea here people. An Armour that completely negates agility, athletics and overburdens you, but in return gives very decent resists as well as improving droning to a large extent.

Then you would grab it a gogo, be unable to move, and have clan members drive you to the necessary location and drop you off.

Risks + Bonuses = Balance!

Good idea apart from the weight issues, i dont think it should take you down straight from the gogo, mabey -100 ath - 100 agl, that way when you get the red-flash that your getting hit you drop drone stealth and have to take your armour off to run. You'd still take plenty of dmg but would stand a small chance of surviving. I still prefer the helmet that takes you out of local though :p

lol that caught me as funny since you are basically a clan gimp, but i love the idea.

I would like it though so that upon you putting it ON, it give you -500 transport, but uber resists, that way if your body is found, you can at least stand a chance to drive off the attacker.

Excellent, I definitely like that idea.

5 stars to this thread! :p

But I would really like to see this in-game, it's a quirky feature that makes it all the more worthwhile to drone.

not if yu've already got them on yu B4 yu put the armor on


but instead of -500 transport maybe - 200 ath/agil does the same job then

cry me a river ... 'real' droners carry more than 10 drones (quickbelt) .. plus spells and such ... so you would drop something, fact.

OK. Then just hard code it so that wearing the armour means you can't move. You clearly missed the point Psycho, at least supply an alternative to "are you stupid?", please keep off my thread if you have nothing constructive to say.

As for the armour... I'd love to have it. Definitely a worthwhile addition and makes for a quirky alternative to the droning we have now.

dont like this, droners bodys are just meat sacks for my tank to blow away while they are off droning somewhere else in the zone:D :angel:

lol, you'd still be able to do this... Only it would be like attacking a stationary tank, giving droners the chance to float around blasting you.

Even if it was a fairly ordinary armoursuit, just with features like "warning, damage taken" so you come out of droning. Or gives you many different advancements for droning like exact range from body, body direction, motion scanners, etc.

That would be exactly what is needed. No protection AT ALL... just features like that. My droner is at 70 natural Dex or so... and he has 71 hit points I think. Only wears a belt and shelter armor. Just enough to get to where he is going. :)

Interesting Idea...

I was thinking of a droning defence option earlier. Totally different concept though, more like the armour warning. Instead of a warning like YOU ARE BEING SHOT!! An implant, probably chest implant would automatically cut control of your current drone, and activate a 'point defence' drone, some thing that worked more or less like a raygun pistol (short range, single target) and had a tenth of the range of a standard drone. This would give the droner a chance to defend themselves, something that would take the sting out of being ganked. The implant would be a one time use item, so to make it valuable. Of course the chances are you will still die as the opponent would have got the drop on you, but hey, why not have the option for a kami drone?
