Hand-held Weapon or Suit Upgrade?: Suit Upgrade What does it look like?: What does it do?: Both the Full and Half Helm are able to provide the user a certain level of damage resitance to the head like the Gantz suites (The full helm can take more damage then the half helm). Both helms are able of scanning enemy's when the visor is down to confirm how much points they are worth, as well as a zoom function. The helms are able to also view party hp when the visor is down to show who is able to fight and who is dead on command. Strengths: Half helm has a better line of visual site and you are able to communicate with the rest of the team without a problem. Full helm is able to take 2x as much damage then the half helm. Weaknesses: Half helm is half as weak as a Gantz suit. Your site is reduced to 90% when the visor is down, and the information on the screen may cause distraction to encrouching enemies or danagers. Full helm reduces site to 90% with the visor up and 80% with the visor down. It is difficult to talk with the full helm on as you will sound awfully muffled and hard to understand by speech alone. Even if the helms have taken no damage if the suit is rendered useless so is the helm. You are only aloud to choose 1 from the menu and you are unable to choose the other after your choice is made (if your character has died and been resurrected this rule does not apply if they no longer have this previous item). What is your weapon distribution dependant on?: 100 points

Nice idea. I like that it has two versions. It lets you see your allies and their current status'. Thats awesome When it says view the health of party, does that mean you see them on a map and you see their hp, or does it mean that you have a little sidebar that says their names/nicknames and an hp bar? And would there be a bar for HP and Suit HP or just hp? What degree is zoom? Is it 2x,4x,8x,200000x?

The hp is viewed by there Gantz picture icon with there remaing suit HP as a green bar (thanks for making me clarify because I should of had this in there). So when the green bar turns fully red that means you have no Gantz Suit HP left. When the bar goes black...your dead.
The optical zoom is....hmmm...well I would say 100x.

Thats... A massive scope.. Most sniper rifles don't even zoom that far. I would say that is a bit much for a sight of weapons that are usually Area of Effect. 100x is more than almost every modern day sniper rifle, by far. With that, you wouldn't need to see allies bars xD You could just look straight at em

First, the Gants suit protects your whole body, even if your head is not covered by it. On the visor... It's quite versatile. My Marksman Suit already had a few visors, including the scope and an awesome one where you could see through your guns. Also, I believe you can check the points of the aliens with the controllers. Yeah I remember one of the Osaka gantzers did that in the Yokai mission. About the suits, you can check their stats in the nodes. If you look closely, there are data and stuff in there. Like tiny screens.
TL;DR: We already have items that do everything your item does. Sorry to rant on your items like this, but it's true.

Yes, but we do NOT have items that do all of what his item does Sorry God. And the Display on the data is good and all, but the thing is, this lets you see your allies health from a distance, basically giving you a real time status report of the current fight. It's basically a more in-depth controller. Maybe he could add something like that he can store information on aliens in it, like strategies and weaknesses, if he has fought them before

Hm... if it had some sort of analyzer it would be a nice 100 point weapon. Also, what things do you mean when you say "Yes, but we do NOT have items that do all of what his item does"?

We have items that Zoom, We have items that offer extra protection, We have items that Scan, but we don't have all of those in one item. Unless I missed when I read through all the weapon suggestions (most of which have yet to be put on the approved list >< and some, like my thunder and lightning, which got 0 responses)

Okay, but most of those items are free. The zoom comes in the Marksman suit. The scan is in the controller. The normal suit offers enough protection. After all, the helm doesn't give any extra protection. He is assuming the suit doesn't protect the head, and that's why he says the helm provides extra protection, because it covers the head.

I guess. Oooh, maybe he could make it so that it can analyze the best route for the Gantz Bikes to take and make it so that it makes it easier to ride, since even experienced riders have troubles with it.

That... Would actually make sense. Thought he might need to give it a second effect to make it worth the points. OH! What if he makes it so he can use the bike without mounting it?

Ooh nice one Bel. I was thinking of it being linked to his mind and constantly auto-adjusting the balance and everything to make it easy to ride. But then again, if he can control it at a distance, there would have to be a link somwhere, like a dart or a symbol he has to stick on the bike.
