But why are Rikti/Lost on the plane? Are they the cabin crew?

I dunno about you guys, but a gunblade would be awesome, yknow - one of those swords with a gun for a handle.
Perhaps one that shot shurikens and lightning?
Man, that would be kick-[censored], the only way it could be more awesome is if it had female breasts and was on FIRE.

This, I can get behind. But if it's unfeasible due to coding restrictions, I'll settle for the Dual Pistols.

I doubt its unfeasible - some Rikti already have gunblades.
I'd rather have the Dual Pistols though - I never did like Final Fantasy much

I thought it'd be more unfeasible for having breasts and being on fire.
Also, Final Fantasy X-2 had Dual Pistols. It was however, an awful game, so we'll forget about that.
FFX-2 should be renamed Final Fantasy: Charlie's Angels.

Flown Ryanair lately? Yeesh. It's not that much of a stretch...
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

However, I have a feeling these will not be availiable for Stalkers. A shield is kind of... noticable.

all the better, they'll be looking at the shield and not notice the sneaky stalker behind it hehehehehehehehehehehe

oh, but i beg to differ
Last time i heard the story properly, thay said it's more of a solid material, So it's more of a invisibility SHEILD, than a cloak... Apparently it'd be too expensive for human suits, so they're gonna make 'em for tanks instead... hmmmmm

Sir I like your style
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

If the shield is big enough, perhaps it would hide the whole Stalker, so
his or her targets would simply think a harmless floatinmg shield was approaching them?

Paint it to look like a hubcap, everyone would just think there's a chase scene going on nearby.

Or just paint a rectangular shield white with some garbage like "The end is nigh!" written on it, then wear it like a sandwich board or hold it up like a placard, and everyone will just assume you're a nut and do their best to ignore you

Pot plant?
Not the best thing to be disguising yourself as, given the amount of students who play CoX.

I'd advise against a traffic cone or shopping trolley as well.

Isn't that the way Stalkers are treated by other Villains anyway?

New power -- Kinetics for masterminds!
A full team of fulcrum shifted bots running around the Isles blasting seven shades of poo out of everything which even so much as looks at you funny? Tell me that wouldn't be incredibly fun!
Could also use an empath-style power which focuses more on healing. Being able to keep your pets alive is of crucial importance to a mastermind, and it also allows them to play a superior support role in teams. Besides, powering up your finest robots with Fortitude, Recovery Aura and Adrenaline Boost is reason enough to have this power, right?
Some base enhancements would go a long way though. New decor would be nice. Perhaps some beds sans-straps so I can go to sleep without being restrained in the morning by a cruel practical joker. I've tried the straw mat, but it just gets itchy after a few minutes. Windows would be nice too. I can't remember the last time my base ever saw the sunlight, and that's probably because it never has.
On the shields thing though, how is it going to work is the question I keep screaming at. I mean visually it'll be fine, since its just like weapons, but as an AT concept I'm curious as to how they'll get 9 powers out of it. Either way it sounds like it could be quite fun to run around with a giant great slice of metal attached to your arm, and doubly so if they allow it to work with Single-handed weapons like Katana or Broadsword.

[/ QUOTE ]Fun maybe, grossly overpowered definitely. Unless they nerf the set beyond recognition.

IIRC, it was planned originally but pulled because it was way to overpowered. (I think some of the CoV trailers show Kinetic MMs.)
if only there was a water blaster..o wait, that's energy blaster....but what's the energy blaster*chugh*
if only there was an energy blaster AT.
er...what?

Not anymore, no. Stalkers are valuable team members now. Yes, yes they are. Really. Truly. No, really really. Honestly they are. Really...
Seriously though, don't perpetuate the pre-I12 discrimination against stalkers - I'd like to see that turned around because they are pretty decent now - night and day difference from pre-I12 stalkers (but I'm actually enjoying playing mine again, so maybe I'm biased - but at least my stalkers can drop a solo/duo-sized spawn as fast as my brutes now, if not faster).
On all my recent TFs the minions/lieuts melt away so quickly and it's the bosses, but moreso the EBs/AVs, where damage is really needed - stalkers are built for that.
I wish there will be Thermal Defenders in new issue. I like thermal set but controllers end can't handle that, even without using your primary powers. 
Give me Thermal Radiation as a defender and tremble before my might.
