Idea Drafts & Submissions
I'll keep my ideas of items to release here. Feel free to make some suggestions! Please remember that this mod aims to stay as close to vanilla's design and simplicity as possible (no re-working stuff wholesale), so I don't want to completely replace vanilla items (other than with my tiered guns guns, cause I'm OCD for order) or change vanilla's atmosphere with this mod. That said, I probably won't do the majority of my ideas here, only the ones that stand out as the best and most compatible with vanilla's vision.

Items that might have a bigger audience outside this mod, and have no dependencies on this mod, might be released as standalones; like my Lock Decoder Redux.

Augments
[Insert Name] - Increases agent's AP by 2. (meh)
[Insert Name] - Decreases agent's AP by 3, adds 2 additional augment sockets, up to a max of 6. (hmm)
[Insert Name] - Hosts a permanently deployed portable server. (lazy lol)

Items
[Insert Name] - Makes stationary guards get a new patrol. Itchy dart?
Heartbeat Monitor - I want to put a heartbeat monitor somewhere. Maybe a deployable or must-be-held object. I had developed one as a projectile attachable to guards before. See the video at https://discord.com/channels/313015356052471828/313015598789427202/930930270683680769 It was never released, but much of the code was posted for reference. It was pretty OP intel-wise, which is why I went a different direction with RIE's Dart Rifle IV special, so probably not as a projectile this time or if so with a reduced radius. Having a cool visual for it would be nice... (makes puppy eyes @qoalabear)
Photoreceptor Inhibitor - Something that decreases a guard's vision for a few turns. Medium-range, single-target.
Tier 4 Laptop - Originally I wanted it to freeze the firewalls of devices within x tiles, and setup a metatable to enforce it, but that caused errors as other parts of the code tried to change firewalls and EXPECTED them to change, iirc. Is the current effect of the T4 laptop novel enough, or should I try to rework it again?
Dart Pistol IV - Multi-target tag.

Endless Credits
Find something to do with excess credits in endless. it's gotta be expensive, to control the frequency of use to avoid abuse (but not overly expensive), and be useful enough to justify the cost
10k credits buys:
- Single-use Skeleton Key? Seems like a lame conversion of SK, tho.
- 3 ignore-mag-reinforcements charges for Plasma Rifle IV?
100k credits buys:
- Limit 1 per agency oh-crap item(s)?
1,000k credits buys:
- Roll the credits.
- Nuke a corp.
- Cap a Corp: A baseball cap that transforms you into a guard of the given corp. Only works on guards of the matching corporation. Fails if agent is within 1 tile of a guard.

I'd love some neat ideas for alternate abilities for the disruptors.
Normal - No ideas.
Volt - EMP-punch for drones/devices?
Thermal - No ideas.

@Wonderlarr: "The tag change seems nice, does the Dart Pistol IV use a charge when you tag? If it does (can't remember), it may be worth having it do some sort of AOE tag instead. Shoot a guard with it, and he and everyone within 4-6 tiles or so gets tagged."

> Currently the pistol specials don't use charges, but the rifle ones do. That seems to make sense to me, for balancing reasons. I need to update the image for the Dart Rifle IV, as it now uses a charge, for balancing reasons against Akuma Drones. I plan for the multi-target to cost 1 PWR per target but just 1 attack point. I felt that was pretty good for the economy of action it provides. I should probably integrate that gun with Wodzu's FL's weapon modes so that players can tag on overwatch with it, when desired.

@Wonderlarr: "As far as the heartbeat monitor goes, it could be neat to have it only detect living units, as drones wouldn't have heartbeats. If you wanna make it extra useful, having it be a throwable that guards can't detect could work, almost like a Sankaku Sound Bug but for us!"

> I guess the heartbeat monitor could be a shootable item, similar to Valkyrie's camera canister. Maybe 3 charges per mission, non-retrievable, hides in cover, guards are alerted when discovering it. Since it does not grant vision, I might give it a decent radius. I see no problem with revealing drones, as I see no stretch for a device that is sensitive enough to detect heartbeats from a distance to also detect electrical currents from nearly drones.
