I do like the idea of using the Quantum Chestplate like a lappack. I can survive building a house out of nukes and detonating it; I think using it to power tools would hardly be crippling.
Also, it would bring it in line with the other Quantum items, as it's the only one without a special function that drains power:
Helmet trades power to get rid of eating, breathing, and poison.
Chest plate has no special function.
Leggings trade power for very fast movement.
Boots trade power for massive jump height.

I'll make this as simple as possible ALBLAKA SAID NO!

Actually... It would just absorb those too.

You would need many, many nukes going off (all at different times) to drain the suit, then kill the player.

or nuke his base destroy all charging technology and wait for him with your uber-enchanted diamond armor set EDIT: and splash potions of harming

You could get the bends if you ascend too fast. Then it would make you slow for 5 minutes.

you can already jet pack out of water at high speed without getting the bends so i vote no to "go up to fast" penalty

waiting for wasteland 2 myself

lets see "realistic revamp of already implemented mechanics that are not broken" or "base-in-a-box"? hint: I pick base-in-a-box

i apologize for my defensiveness we have had some pretty aggressive nerfers here the past week or 2 especially on this subject. I do recognize that acidents happen and no one is expected to read 8 pages of old suggestions (a couple clicks of the search button is all any one asks) so I'll let it go. as for quantum food helmet vs. drinking hat if you boil the 2 down they both have the same mechanic of making food useful again they just have different ways of selling it. also I'm of the opinion that considering the q-helmets means of construction energy to food makes sense. and as for "why crops" crops yield more than food, make a good hobby, and are a good alternate way to survive for the "qsuit OP!" crowd.

and what the heck am i supposed to do with the sun!? i mean seriously what kind of energy sink is that?

there is an unlimited number if item ID's and that rule only applies to stuff that isn't implemented yet to get people to put more thought into what they post. also considering its diamonds we are talking about its kinda supposed to be tedious

what would you even power with that!? * eagerly points at old warp drive suggestion*

Quote from narc

You know, now that you've said that, I think it'd be pretty interesting if the QSuit helmet actually consumed food from your inventory. As well as energy, of course. It reaches into your pocket, then force-feeds you

considering the qsuit is made with mass fab technology i don't think the helmets energy to food thing is to far of a stretch that and it makes a good upgrade from the cheaper drinking hat

use torrents i find them to be more reliable for larger files that get screwed you when you try to download them in a browser

craft a lighting rod to summon an invincible shotgun toting alblaka dragon to perma-kill you even on peaceful

Quote from Tankman101

Nice

Maybe it could use a small friction motor (extends the time that the minecart stays at the same speed) so that you dont have to hop off every 5 seconds.

minecarts are capped at a top speed of 8m/s i think but they store momentum and sprinting is technically faster so i don't think a friction motor is necessary especially with modern rail way crafting practices

would be interesting if it treated some surfaces like amplified ice and others like soul sand
i'm -1 at the moment but i'm interested in fleshing out the idea

Quote from tgstyle

As many posts suggest, people feel it is a bit over powered. I tend to agree, as soon as you put it on you are invicible. So a couple of ideas came to mind ~

not this again I'm pretty sure qsuit nerfs are on the "repeated to often so don't suggest them" blacklist your supposed to be invincible that's the idea this was not a bug or accident and no one is making you build a qsuit

Quote from tgstyle

1. Instead of the helmet providing constant life via EU. Give food a purpose again and allow it to have a built in food storage. The idea is compressible food in containers, that can be injected in to the helmet via the canner, that will slowly keep the players food need met when worn. Kind of like the Fuels in IC2 currently. As for the EU charge it currently needs, this could be used toward the extraction of food to feed the player.

again a repeat suggestion (and repeating a post on the first page to boot) http://forum.industrial-craft.…page=Thread&threadID=5822

Quote from tgstyle

2. Armor degredation. All this power has to have a flaw. Let the armor degrade over time and have the need to be repaired via more iridium. The more degredation, the more iridium needed to fix it.

NO the hallmark of ic2 is equipment that doesn't break but needs to be charged

Quote from tgstyle

If anything has been suggested before I am sorry. I did a glance over the posts and had not seen anything like this.

number 1 is a very close copy of "novelty drinking hat" that is on the first page of this sub-forum, and the concepts of qsuit nerfs have been debated and rejected 2 twice over the past week. your blatant ignorance for the rules is appalling

Quote from Tankman101

2 things

Self Controlled EU Powered Minecart.
Use Quantum Leggings.

VERY good point * scratch*scratch**scratch**mark**mark**scratch* FIXED the minecart pants are now just a super convenient standard minecart you can wear as pants that scream HAYO! your running speed before right clicking will factor into your speed when you switch to minecart mode. and when you do switch modes it should totally make the transformers noise

Name: minecart pants!

Description: The pinnacle of minecart technology that still has rails attached to it. The minecart pants are for those who seek high speed thrills without all the slow inventory juggling of conventional minecarts. To use them is simplicity its self. You wear the pants, you right click on a rail with your empty fist, you automatically lock to the rail and assume the "sitting in a minecart" position, and away you go!

May be powered (whether by batpack or traditional coal I cant decide) allowing you to propel yourself at minecart speed under your own power and control.scrapped to similar to rejected idea and qsuit legs the rest of the idea is still being suggested

recipe: ???

yeah i dispute the EE plug there your way to biased to put that on a blacklist
but all in one armor has been and will continue to be a no(unless you coded your own addon and even then it will never progress past that point (and no we will not make an addon for you))

i personally don't care about the modpack debate but i can see how some would be mad if a mod pack somehow found a way to make money off a mod they didn't write

Quote from Alblaka

Totally need to implement this, just to fill it with oil, feed it to my Generator and then drink from it afterwards XD

However, I don't think the current Armor models would fit for displaying such a headpiece correctly :O

just slap some flat cans on the sides and wrap it in some techno babble about how it helps compress things every one would totally go along with it
P.S. thank you for you consideration
