I figured I'd post my own little discussion thread here. How would you like to see this stuff implemented? Do you want Partner Machines? Mags? Racial specials as in PSP2? Photon blasts?
Here's my system:
The basics:
A player has not 1 but 2 separate mags, one over each shoulder.
Each has a max level of 100 (200 combined).
They both boost stats as in PSO/Z.
Photon Blasts and such:
One of the mags determines what Photon Blast you use.
The other mag and your race determines what your Racial Special (SUV, Mirage Blast, Nanoblast) you use.
Each race has its own blast (This mostly means that Humans and Newmans wouldn't both use Mirage Blasts).
Certain mags form "pairs". If you have both your PB and RS meter full, and are using a correct "pair" you can perform a combination of your Photon Blast and Racial Special.
Any mags that were previously "double mags" will be split into a left and right version, and will count as a pair.
Support:
Each mag's support effects are determined by type like in PSO. Not nature like in PSZ.
Mags will still perform "passive support," healing and such, as in past games.
Mags will also have "active support" modes. These may involve the mag firing bullets, casting techs, or even somehow becoming a temporary partner (similar to a Partner Machine). These all last a certain amount of time.
Each mag also has a secondary meter. This fills up much faster than the PB meter. When its full, you can make the mag perform a predetermined support ability (some would be active support, some passive).
Mag "pairs" will have the same support abilities for each half. When combined, the support power and/or activatation rate and/or duration (for buffs, debuffs, and active support modes) will increse.
Now, let's see where this goes...
