Origin power pools (replacement for Gadgetry: Turbo Boost)

[Wavicle]

I would really like to see the remaining Origin power pools (Gadgetry and Utility Belt) be implemented in the game.

 

I understand there's a little trouble with Gadgetry, because the Jetpack extra tray power Turbo Boost really just is what Fly is now, with Afterburner free. 

 

So my suggestion is to give Jetpack an extra tray power called Stealth Mode that costs very little endurance and has a very short recharge and makes the user Invisible when toggled on.

I dunno. Not for or against this. I remember trying out the pool powers for this when I was using the dev console on my private server and it was janky. If you're talking about implementing them as fixed powers then heck yeah!

Well yeah I would expect them to go through HC QA first. I was just trying to come up with a replacement for turbo boost, and stealth seemed like an obvious way to go.

 

Actually, now that I think about it, it’s such an obvious way to go, I wonder if there are any less obvious ways to go that would be cool. Teleportation and extra fly speed are already taken, and a -Fly power is unnecessary because the set already has one, but what else could it be?

There might be an argument to be made for several paths to Fly however, to allow players a chance to not get stuck choosing one or the other for one of their four sets.  Then again, jetpack temp powers are already are pretty cheap and easily available.
