Icarus landing Implant

[Marinealver]

Thought this would be a nice implant to have for those who don't have LA. Yeah it could be used as a alt ej seat but I was thinking more for jumping off of towers and walls as such.

i like the idea.. maybe remove the 'damage enemy on impact' part of it (unless you land directly on top of him), and make it like, one use every ten minutes. for balance purposes, y'know.
but yeah. i like it.
+support.

Holy crap! He just suckerpunched the hell out of that dude!

I instantly regret not playing this game.

This is already in the game, was in PS1, and is how they explained the lack of the need of parachutes. As an ejection seat, it's already in. Though I guess as an implant instead of just for aircraft ejections IS in fact new, and a good idea. So I can support that.

implant will be vanu-only due to transhumanism lelelelel

[berzerkerking]

Good to see I;m not the omly one that gets that weird desire to jump when i'm in high places. I'm gonna abuse the heck out of this

Hmmm I get the feeling you might have to settle for LA..... or INF. I heard rumours the INF might get batwings and well the LA will have HEAPS of jetpack variety.

I hope they go with the Batwings for the INF, that would make sneaking into bases sooo much fun

Can just imagine jumping in from the cliffs around zurvan.

Bad Idea.
That would encourage people to just throw away an aircraft just to get to a location.

Want to Icarus? Be light assault and learn how to use your jetpack.

Could also be used with light assault, you know as a way to avoid taking damage for those who fly a little too high.

But yeah don't want no Slam ground attack. Atleast not yet.

We already have something like this, watch the streams.

If you are talking about the drop pods. Yeah I know, but those are pods. And I have seen the hop down from side to side hitting everything to slow your decent so you don't take much damage from falling.

This is Hey look at this Tower I am at the top of. If I jump straight down I would die, but activate this ability and wolah I land on the ground with no problem.

One thing I didn't like about the old implant system was there was no way to tell what implant was being used (except for surge) unless there was some sort of sound. I mean if dakrlight all of a sudden made your eyes look like green headlights then you would know who was looking for cloakers. Same is personal shield had some sort of sphere around you instead of a avatar flash. They could be suttle like a small corsair around a visor for Range Magnifire and Adv Targeting, to mabey glowing green for regeneration or a yellow flash for second wind. But that is another topic.

However this would never happen because the new implants in PS2 looks more passive than active. Not like it gives you a whole new ability such as surge or darklight as they did in PS1, more of a stat modification such as slightly faster mag strafe acceleration and such. Little stuff that dosn't really do much.

No I am not talking about the drop pods. I'm talking about the basic LA jump pack as well as the Icarus Jump pack (One is vertical one glides)
