    Perhaps the booster would merely unlock the ability to use a Personal Travel Vehicle, and then the character would need to acquire the recipe in game for his/her/its desired model.
    Technically impossible. Stated multiple times to be impossible by various Devs.
    Effectively: Not going to happen.

  3. Direct Comparison again. with no slotting;

    Cloaking Device;

    - 0.26/sec Endurance cost
    - +3.5% Defence to all stealthed, +1.75% Defence to all detected
    - Stealth +35ft
    - No movement penalty

    Stealth;

    - 0.33/sec Endurance Cost
    - +3.5% Defence to all stealthed, +1.75% Defence to all detected
    - Stealth +35ft
    - -35% Run and Fly speed

    Ok, so, Cloaking device is a little better than that. But even so, its a second endurance consuming toggle in the set, for not really much more of a bonus than a pool power. Its certainly not the greatest level of stealth. Adding in Stealth strike like the PPD Ghosts get would be a nice boost, especially since the set lacks Build Up of any sort.

    I can give a better reasoning.
    Numbers from Mids, unenhanced;

    Targetting Drone;
    - 0.31/sec endurance cost
    - +13.9% ToHit
    - +60% Perception
    - +55.36% ToHit Debuff Resistance
    - Effects Only Self

    Tactics;
    - 0.39/sec endurance cost
    - +7% ToHit
    - +36.3% Perception
    - Confusion Protection Mag 3
    - +42.4% Confuse Resistance
    - +42.4% Fear Resistance
    - Effects Team

    So....explain to me how Targetting drone is so much better than Tactics, a Pool power, that it warrants a very high endurance cost for a self only power? Because, to me, those numbers dont add up frankly.
  6. Giving Cloaking Device a 'Stealth Strike' component would be a huge boost, IMO.
    With Smoke grenade, why not make it a bit like Ninjitsu's Blinding Powder? -ToHit, chance for Confuse, non-aggro. Win-win.

    Taser works fine as it is, although I would love the hand-held taser that Malta still have (increase duration for making it melee? )

    Targetting drone should cost about half the endurance it costs at present, and some sort of synergy with all sets would be nice, agreed.

    Time bomb and Gun Drone need some overhauling, IMO.

    Meh...
    Reminds me of the Tate Modern in London. Really big building, very few if any windows.
    I'm sure it's just an artistic statement
  9. Hmm...Depends wether I wanted to be a nice guy or a twisty lil watsit >=3

    Id use either Techbot Alpha, or Chief Centurion Z1, both robotic characters, one evil one good. Alpha would probably be more fun though

For example there aren't (as far as I can recall) any places of worship whatsoever in Paragon City .
    Darksiders disagrees with you
    But then again, War is beating equal ammounts of snot outta both sides of that fight, so...at least he's not descriminating
  12. Some of these jokes are really below the cut. Talk about going against the grain...

    Has anyone checked if it changes for day to night.
    Like the Rikti armour does? As in, it has glowmaps? Cos it looked a little like that to me when I saw it change.
  16. There are some that dont seem to expire.
    I know Mothers Love on Union side had 'Protector of the Little Ones' as what seemed to be a perma one.

    Hmm...Title for Alpha...
    'Your worst nightmare' would be kinda cool.
    For Krimzon Commander 'Master and Commander' would be a neat one

    Hero Y/Villain Y "You know you can get a temporary boost to your powers with inspirations. Yeah charge into battle and use a few Inspirations to get a rush of power or what ever you need. Read more about them here."

    Need a break :/

    Seeya Pointy, hope ya enjoy the break and come back...well, not sure about soon, but thats only because I might not be back soon either
    Either way, enjoy ze break
  19. I wish they'd update the Hero and Villain tutorials. Especially if the Praetorian one is as good as anticipated.

    Make people want to do it themselves, dont force them to do it.
    Thats just daft.
  20. I'd suggest taking out the tier 9 armours, and keeping them to pets or something similar.
    Aside from that...my limitedly critical eye for builds seems to like it =P

    It's a pity that only Burke and Kalinda got that.
    Alan still sends you to the other end of gods black nowhere for missions....cheap, beret wearing ****...
