Backpack Idea(s)

With the addition of the backpack slot in game, I suggest the first general free for all backpack, be a static, non animated version of the Steam Jump jet. As someone who bought the pack, I have no problem with a non-animated version being added as a static costume piece for all to use.

Let's face it, it's a nice costume piece.

A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.

Looks ugly. I'd rather have normal backpacks, which do exist in-game as models.

The steam jump pack model also exists in game.

But for other backpacks I'd like to see: The standard pack you see on Malta soldiers, probably something like a shoulder duffle bag for Alex Mercer or Scout clones, and how about one of those hard plastic backpacks?

1. A regular hiking style backpack.
2. I like the idea of a quiver as posted above.
3. Those stick-like things that some carnies have.
4. A Nemesis style steampunk backpack ( not clunky like the current one )
5. A permanant rocket pack
6. A robotic pack with whirling gears
7. A sheath for my longsword ( I would make a barbarian toon just for this costume piece )

That's your opinion. I think it looks sweet and it goes well with my older noir themed characters. Not all character concepts use modern tech.

There's enough room for everyone to get a style of backpack items they like.

An empty sheath please. While it is slightly annoying to have weapons appear out of nowhere, I find it even more annoying to be holding a weapon and yet the sheath/holster clearly shows the weapon hasn't been drawn yet.

I'm still waiting for a backpack that will pop out small fixed wings when flying the same way rocket boots animate when flying. Probably the best example of what I'm talking about is something like Buzz Lightyear.

I created tech-based a character about six years ago with the concept that a fixed wing jetpack was how she was going to fly based on the hopeful assumption that such backpacks would be added to the game "any day now". Well it's been six years and I'm still waiting - hopefully this latest booster pack means I won't have to wait too much longer.

With how badly everyone's been clamoring for backpacks, I'm surprised the devs are only coming out with one very specific-looking one and then not touching the area until possibly I21, at the earliest.

Quivers - absolutely quivers. They could be located on the back or hang from the belt. I was shocked when archery was released (years ago) and they didn't include the quivers.

Or make use of that shiny tech that Maelstrom uses and have it be reactive?

Personally, I want some kind of power generator backapck to put on the back of my bulky robot dude to make him even more bulky.

Also, jet packs. Fixed-wing, Buzz Lightyear extending wings, jet motors jet pack, and more. I really, really want to see that.

And while we're on the subject, a miniature Lara Croft "internal tesseract" infinite space backpack would be nice.

I would like a matching backpack for the Clock Work Chest Piece!

Except that they'll all be locked behind the Incarnate Trials and each backpack will cost 15 Emp Merits or 5 Super-Secret-Double-Probation-Fury-Merits (to be introduced with the next set of Incarnate slots) . . .

Mentioned before, but I would love to see quivers and sword scabbards. Unlike an earlier poster, I would prefer to see a sword in the scabbard.
