This is a massive feature and will not be done immediately, no matter how many upvotes it gets, as it will basically block anything else in the production line. It will include, among other things:
- New weapons items, ammos, etc
- Lots of character customization for armor, equipment, etc
- Gamemplay dev for aiming, locking and firing + VFX
- Life bar, health management
- And more...

MegadddSuit types and suit equipment slots seem like a massive change that would impact and be capable of replacing a lot of current game systems locked behind an arbitrary skill. E.g.: Scanning range makes no sense to improve with ones personal skill, but is perfect sense for having a higher tier ore scanner equipped on your suit. Make said suits/suit-equipment perish on death as well to add into the game economy loop.

Divine Retribution-Gamemplay dev for aiming, locking and firing + VFX
Dear god please no. Just use FPS mechanics, none of this EVE clicking on buttons and letting the game do all the work for you nonsense. -

Morningtonwho would not want to be an assault marine trying to breach an enemy ship / space station through holes in the hull, setting demo charges to get through bulkheads as you fight your way to the core?

Reaper07I remember when it was claimed ava was so easy to implement it wasn't a concern. I also remember it being a promised launch feature whereas cvc was a stretch goal. Not saying cvc isn't important. But seeing as we're now in beta with no test in sight for such an integral feature, I have my concerns.

TrusinI think this needs to be a thing but not a priority right now

BrethanI think this feature is what will ultimately make this a truly great game. I think this should take precedence over all else, except for the balances needed for the current space PvP.

Dmitry NesterovSolidarity with Megaddd. System of slots on the body (head, torso, arms, back, belt, legs). And also a system of "micro-modules" (inserting smaller items into objects, for example, an ore scanner in a helmet, rather than carrying it with you, but the power will also be lower). The belt affects the number of tools that we can quickly reach through the keys. Backpack (with different capacity). Head or helmet or augmented reality glasses.

Taergalground, planetary pvp will make very diverse game, will make all activities more dangerous, depending on the settings of safe zones, it is unclear how, and whether at all, to interact with the system of orbital(space) and ground weapons. In any case, first of all work out space and space battles.

AdmiralI'm not a big fan of the fps mechanic that others seem to want. If I wanted to play an fps i'd play an fps game. And not very many people are good at FPS so it would create an imbalance in favor of the high skill capped fpsers and bots some of them run in the background. I would recommend a hybrid system where it automatically targets if your cursor is in the general vicinity of a player. Games that are 100% fps are still battling fps bot cheating to this day, can you imagine DU resources req?

WarStalkeRI'm fine as long as it isn't FPS (i.e. will follow same principle: Detect → Lock Target → Shoot) and will include autonomous scriptable interior anti-personnel turrets for constructs.

KamiPls no ... CvC PvP might be a thing for this game but real FPS experience will posibly kill the game. A small group of players might shout loudly for this feature but the majority will hate it. Look at Dust 514 and Eve ... there is a reason why the highly celebrated Dust 514 is no more (celebrated before its launch ...)

sHuRuLuNiDual Universe = Escape Earth being destroyed by building giant Arkships, travel to distant planets to REBUILD THE CIVILIZATION.
Devs: then add PVP so that we may instantly destroy the new civilitation as well. "Rebuilding"? Pff ... who cares about such boring matters. Let us "pew pew" so that we may feel our PP is bigger!!!1111
For crying out loud .... -

GallopingTortoiseThis is not a FPS game. It completely failed when Eve tried it. There are better things to Focus on

Nameless TwoI hope AvA PvP will also include boarding and fighting on other peoples' spaceships, as well? Away Teams by other names. Fine with the stat based and reticle solution that fits the networking for the skill abstraction system for representing avatar combat.

BayoukingHow about directional combat they way Last Oasis did there's. Click and mouse forward for an overhead attack, left for a left attack and right for right. Assuming we get some kind of light saber(energy sword for you copyright nerds) right clicking in each direction blocks the oncoming attack or phaser round shot at you. Again all depending on what weapons would be available. No locking make it all based on the individual players skill

Hazard0814I'll be honest, NQ, you can sneak some of the code for this in early on the back/client end and test it for bugs/compatibility ahead of schedule. At least the stuff that we do not see ^_^
