Super Atom

is this not just the OP?

Nobody has to justify adding a power set to the game. The main draws of City of Heroes is variety, replayability, and customization. Adding power sets is a very important part of all three, especially 20 years in. That's like saying "Hey we don't need anymore stories, we have enough." The concept of "tech" armor of any kind is such a simple and common sense addition that it shouldn't be this debated. It's a common theme that could benefit from having its own choice if people want to feel even more techy. With the lack of a Tech origin pool solidifying the need for more tech-based stuff, it's easy to see why this would be a request and this certainly isn't the first time. tl;dr : More common theme additions is never a bad thing. It supports peoples creativity and gives us more to do. SR already existed yet we still got Ninja to support that theme because its a common theme. This is also why we still need Plant and Water armor 👀

I would not like to see this. If this is added, please make it optional.

Well yeah it says it right on the picture i posted

👍

@srmalloy I don't judge them either' , a beautiful glow is a beautiful glow!

My solution to this would be "Min FX" For those who want a customized looking power armor through the costume system. Simple, clean already in use'

The same exact way you create concepts for the gigantic shield on your arm. If you don't want the shield, you don't make a shield. You don't want to be covered in rocks, you don't make stone. You don't want to be covered in fire you don't make a fire. so on and so forth.

I see people with "Atom" all the time who aren't radiation anything. They've colored their fire or energy melee or any number of things to be radiation. This is the kind of creativity some players work with. I support the idea of a new armor set that is mostly tech based because we just don't have any. It being designed to be a companion armor to Traps or devices is a wonderful idea. It would probably need a lot of fleshing out and testing, but overall the concept of "Power Armor" as a new armor set would be a great addition. If they ever get around to Gadgetry power pool, it would go wonderfully with the concept. quick tidbit; i know you can force the tech concept yourself by using other armor sets, but having one designed around Tech like other power sets have been would be nice too.

i got you It stretched with no issue for every power. So long as Homecoming alpha's the upper legs for any long skirt/dress option it should be mostly ok if they restrict boots to tight and like a couple of the smaller shoes. Any rocket boot or clunky shoe would clip more than likely, but we already do this for jackets with gloves for the most part.

They already hide parts of the body for playing clothing as is, if you use stealth with certain jackets/shorts/pants you can see where the model ends to avoid clipping. Pic below for example

Also has a unique death animation 🤷‍♀️

I've seen it before, when they added PvP in the first place. It was pretty funny' You can also /kind/ of do it right now with just super speed. but im not gonna go into how so homecoming doesn't fix it ;o

It's a neat Idea, idk how much it would even change balance wise outside of PvP but i imagine not much. You'd still be locked to animation times. I'd love to see it tried just to see, could be fun even if it's just a silly thing that never makes it out of beta. Who knows, maybe many will prefer it after trying it. maybe even an april fools event, just no rooting for the week 😛

Well i think the Homecoming team WILL do it because they do stuff all the time. my source? trust me bro
