New Pilot Tool

[David Dire]

This is something that just hit me, and I realized how extremely brilliant it is.

So, without further ado, I present my pilot tool idea: Chaff Pods.

Just as it sounds, Scroll to the Chaff Pod tool equipped (I also think this should be a tool you don't need on-helm, but only Captains can activate it) and press M1. This'll cause damage to your engines, and make them shoot out a tons of metal strips. This could make Rockets/Rocket projectiles turn away from the cloud, thus making any ships inside it safe from Projectiles like rockets.

Or it could just make any Rocket Projectiles explode on contact.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a projectile shield.

Snipers would turn their engines and command crew to repair engines. Pilot uses tool at frequent timed manner.

OR brawlers would start flying backwards into snipers.
OR back side squids would be a better playstyle.
Tar allready fills the role of an offencive/Defencive rear attack.


Ive allready had an idea where a Heavy gun does this. Fires a small electrical cloud that does intense periodical shatter damage, but also destroys projectiles that go through.

I like it! But I would think it slightly more useful if it came off the guns even if it damaged them a little bit that way you can use them to get to optimum range and if you time it right stop some Artemis or banshee shots from disabling your weapons, or using it to save your ship from certain death when the mortars start flying at you when your armour is down. I feel thats more useful but still allows alot of counter play by either destroying their guns (something you should be doing anyway) or attacking them on one of their weak sides. Thats just my idea, on being able to use it in other situations aside from running away.

funny I had an idea of a light gun sonic weapon that could intercept rockets and deal damage at close ranges.
