Definitely would need balancing but give any other ideas you have. NSO Defector Keeping with the theme of grenade printers and NSO's support role the defector Has a greatly expanded range of munitions to allow for specialisation in areas beyond a regular MAX and branching into a true heavy support unit. The Defector has access to any two of its weapons at any time with a 1.5 sec swap speed Suit slots Electromagnetic Launcher Grenade printer weapons have a 4/7/12/15/20% higher starting and maximum velocity Cryogenic Nanite delivery constant passive 3/5/7/10% per second heat reduction Grenade printer The grenade printer has been given munitions that allow for a more support based role at the cost of being unable to inflict damage Ammo Clense Munitions clears debuffs and heals for 150 hp over 3 sec at the cost of all damage and 30% increased heat generation Enhancement Munitions buffs armoured unit hp by 250 and heals for 150hp over 3 sec at the cost of all damage and 30% increased heat generation can't self inflict but works on other MAX units D7 Hummingbird The D7 Hummingbird's homing munitions received specialisations at the cost of additional heat generation. while the DPS to specialised targets is higher overall the reduced impact against other types of armoured targets compensates. Ammo Flak Munitions replaces hummingbird munitions with a dedicated flak payload at the cost of a 30% increase to heat generation Damage type changed to ID.12 Flak Explosion AV Munitions Replaces hummingbird munitions with a dedicated light AV payload at the cost of a 30% increase to heat generation Damage type changed to ID.5 light anti-vehicle D11 Detonator In order to lower the barrier of entry required to utilise The D11 Detonator the Internal Camera system allow for easier readjustment at the cost of damage and fire rate while reviewing the fire angle. alternatively the Havok munitions allow for precision use to have a more devastating impact to targets unwilling to move at the cost of splash damage. These changes make the D11 an extremely effective mortar and information gathering tool Ammo Internal Camera System By replacing some of the munitions with a remote camera system the decimator rounds are able to provide a live feed from the munition. while able to change camera angle the munitions path is unaltered. maximum indirect damage reduced by 450 Havok Munitions Additional Havok payload allows for direct hits to inflict the Havok debuff to armoured targets.(6 sec full version) The maximum splash radius is reduced by 2.5M and the arming range increases to 30m damage remains identical to base detonator Ability slot Frenzy Program The new Frenzy program gives defectors a close combat mode rerouting nanites from the grenade printer to boost speed, armour and damage while restricting the MAX to the defector claws. This allows for devastating close range damage to infantry and vehicles alike Repurposed defector claws into a full CC Brawler weapon Provides 35% mitigation and 25% base movement speed buff damage upped to 700 punch damage using the light anti-vehicle damage type, this cannot headshot. while it can be enabled indefinitely when disabled there is a 60 sec cooldown
Excellent! I always wanted the Defector to be more of a transformer than an exosuit. For instance, attach to any aircraft or vehicle gives an extra weapon or ability... Would draw in subscribers for sure. lol
Interesting fact: NSO MAX Defector Detonator has a maximum range of 300m, does 250 direct (750 indirect) dmg, and a speed of 45m/s, while a basic engineer with an anti material rifle has a maximum range of render distance while zoomed, does 450 direct (250 indirect) dmg, and a speed of 550m/s Talk about USELESS in comparison.
The whole NSO faction needs more love, and their MAXes are definitely hurting the most. So any interesting developement like this in that category, +1 from me!!
I completely agree that MAX nso is the most discriminated against among other max. The very fact that max nso cannot use NS-20 Gorgon weapons from ns is already absurd. Give Max the NSO NS-20 Gorgon!
