Aimee

(_retired_) #1

Even though they added Red Eye as new recon and sniper unit, I would like to see Aimee in the game.
Do you have ideas what kind of abilities she could have?

Simple idea could be “Camouflage” as ability which would render Aimee “invisible” (or hard to notice as she renders to background) in same way as Phantom, however she couldn’t move under it but really short distance (maybe only in crouch position?). This would give her window to get the first shot out before being noticed…as secondary it would be cool to have tripod sniper which would allow get more tighter grouping when applying tripod. However she couldn’t move when using it. So she wouldn’t apply it unless ability would be triggered.
First ability would of course have cooldown while tripod wouldn’t.

Somehow something like M110 Sass would fit her well.
So unlike Vassili who’s about finding out where targets are and Red Eye who does kind of same, Aimee’s ability would be all about herself being hidden for those brief moments she gets her shots away.

I know it’s city enviroment so therefore camouflage mind sound stupid, but I think it isn’t that far reach from invisible dude running towards you whose stuck in the 19th century. :lol: (couldn’t resist)

She has a motion sensor that I believe has a camera that you could look through it and could stick anywhere on the map. And if anyone destroys it or if you detonate it, it acts like a concussion grenade and blinds the enemy.
I believe in Alpha, the motion sensor was just like Vassili’s except it detect in a long oval shape, unlike Vassili’s which is in a circular shape.

Yeah, I read about it.
It just doesn’t sound feasible idea for Dirty Bomb especially since Vassili already has his own sensor and now Red Eye has those goggles.

That’s why I thought the idea of ability for Aimee would be the opposite, concealment instead of detection.

She could of course be faster than Vassili and have lower health. So basically she could run into place where she could observe the enemy under Camouflage and then decide whether engage with them or not.

EDIT: Just noticed there’s actually separate forum for merc suggestions.
Posted there, so mods can close this one. :smile:

Aimee should get a drone(that you fly around), with a taser(that slows and screen-shakes people for 2-3 seconds).

A drone is a preaty neat thing we don’t have yet, and the taser, if sufficiently effective, would allow her to set up easy sniper shots(drone flies out of cover, marks out and dazes a person, you pop out for the easy shot).

Alternatively(and more boringly), a “conventional” explosive drone could also do.

In either version, the drone should also have the ability to deploy as a “tripwire” spotting device, from which it can be re-activated, rather than a new one being launched from Aimee’s location.

You realise Aimee is a woman right?

If you are referring to that I’m using “he” instead of “she” it’s because my native language doesn’t have gender specific pronouns. So it happens accidentally.
So If I write fast I might use “he” about someone like Aimee without noticing it. Also it’s been some time I have written longer texts in english so there are many issues with my texts. I’m sorry, I go fix those.

Why are you apologising? It’s a genuine mistake, No apologies needed.
