Hey there handsome and beautiful UHF recruits, I have a bunch of small-ish ideas for new items and new player experience enhancing (weird word choice ik). All prices are in Galactic Store, so it can be cheaper when found in shady dealers/regional stores.
Nitrogen Flask
This is a special weapon that will cost 10x9 keys to buy. This item will create a frozen area when activated, similar to chillers, that will allow any spaceships on top of it to fire without spending for about 3-4 seconds (as long as chiller clouds). This would be a parallel to Coolant Canister, but it has some benefits and downsides compared to it, such as being removable by absolver/barbequer/some special weapons, being stuck to 1 spot, but being able to affect other players and being able to lock your heat levels for boron/vulcan when you need!
Instant Charger
This is a Weapon Booster, costing 460 keys, for items that need to charge (only absolver beam in this case, there may be more weapons in the future though). It will Increase the charging speed of the weapon by 1.5x, but will force you to release it instantly. This is a much needed boost for the only weapon unaffected by either of the current weapon boosters, while also making it harder to hold it for the right moment.
Rarity Insight
This is an Insight that allows you to see which heroware stores in near you can have either an uncommon, rare or legendary equipment, by showing the amount of gems related to the rarity on each explored solar system, a bit similar to price insight. This will allow legendary item trackers and other players to learn where to find the rarer items, which is good to make players aware of where to search these items. Price and duration is the same as price insight.
Permanent Life
This item is… well its complicated to categorize how it works. Its a mountable item with a limit of 3 that gives you +1 life (just like extra life) but it isn’t spent when dying and gives you a slight penalty to your keys of -5%, categorized under equipment perks. This should be an item made for new people that are stuck in the losing cycle (can’t find easy missions, dies to hard ones, doesn’t have extra lives to help them complete missions. can easily lose new players that aren’t that skilled).
This item can be awarded to players who do not have any extra lives remaining, or as a starting item. This concept could also be added as a feature to H&C ships either is fine.
I’m open to any changes/ideas !
