Speed Demons get an Overdrive device which temporarily frees them from negative effects like gremlins and critical hit side effects to allow them to get away from sticky situations.

They’ll help conceal you and friends by decreasing your visibility, increasing your radar and giving you some offensive bonuses like damage.


That sounds a bit too much like a one size fits all tweak. Possibly OP due to filling too many roles.

Sicuro's Sniper Blind idea went hand and hand with how he felt sniper should be, which was a mobile DPS class. Less mobile than SD/Gunner, but a lot more mobile than current sniper. Basically, your stereotypical WoW Hunter. Sniper Blinds were an immobile structure that would be deployed. Blinds would either lock the sniper in place (zero speed, forced thrust, acts like a turret glued to the ship) or be a very short ranged Aura Drone.

Also keep in mind this was before Collision Code.

In the blog post no downsides were mentioned though.

Because Bobbo is a noob and admins in general like OP game breaking items that actually turn out to be the biggest piece of crap ever designed.
