Perfect for TF... but might not work for non-bios humanss

...just imagine belters trying to pull that off

EDIT: although if you explained it as being a sort of pda on steroids it might work... you're dead, but we recovered your palm pilot

you could say it would be a standard to use such a device, since although a soldier is replaceable, the years of experience he has fighting isn't. Losing one of your best pilots/soldiers in battle often hits you hard, since all you have to replace him with is green troops fresh out of boot camp =P
Think maybe along the lines of different ones, like perhaps even pods that look like brains in a jar........for the non robotic ones /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Ghosts could be fun. And for Technoflux: ....
Flying memory chips. Well, hovering.
Ghosts that are suceptible to air currents, so bullets flying through them will dissolve them.

I was talking to something simple wich could substitute the pods. (ex: walking donuts) just jokeing.

But do not give pods firepower. WTF!

Whats the concept of being poded then? if you have something to shoot with.....

I still think:

Eject out of vehicle as human with gun.

You can kill other humans with guns.

You have to get back to base before you get too poisoned and die.

You do negligible damage to vehicles.

i think you should eject out as a person, with a weapon, but the weapon isn't that powerful (compared to people who went out as infantry and are properly equipped with highpowered rifles and rocket launchers etc), you may only have a pistol or something

basically, you can shoot stuff (fun), but getting kills with your weapon is akin to using the knife in CS or FB2142
