# Item Ideas
+Some defintions:
+
+- *Cooldown*: Wait time between uses
+- *Range*: Distance a projectile can travel before exploding (irrespective of colliding with anything)
+- *Bounce*: Ability of a projectile to reflect off a wall, typically a limited number of times, rather than exploding
+- *Concurrency*: Number of shots one can have in the air simultaneously
+- *Area of Effect ("AoE")*: A weapon that deals damage beyond its impact point
+- *Proximity ("Prox")*: A weapon that detonates in proximity to a damageable target
+- *Proc*: A chance on each shot of a weapon to have a special effect
+

## Cannons
-- Missiles: Faster projectile, but no bounce
-- Refractor Rounds: Slower projectile, but infi bounces
-- Shrapnel Rounds: Projectile that splits instead of bounce
-- Plasma Rounds: Short Range, Fast Cool, Light damage
+- **Missiles**: Faster projectile, but no bounce
+- **Refractor Rounds**: Slower projectile, but infi bounces
+- **Plasma Rounds**: Fast cool, but short range
+- **Shrapnel Rounds**: Projectile that splits instead of bounce, but very low concurrency and cool
+- **Smart Rounds**: No friendly fire, but very low concurrency
+
## Heavy Munitions
-- Flamethrower: Cone AOE
-- Mortar Rounds: Projectile with AOE on detonation
-- Proximity Missiles: Projectile that explodes on prox
-- Mines: Stationary prox AOE
+- **Flamethrower**: Cone AoE from you (heavy recoil)
+- **Mortar Rounds**: Projectile with AoE on detonation (no bounce, heavy recoil)
+- **Proximity Missiles**: Projectile that explodes for AoE on prox (no bounce, heavy recoil)
+- **Safety Missiles**: Projectile cloud that only damages projectiles
+- **Mines**: Stationary prox AoE
+- **Napalm**: Short range, low concurrency projectile that leaves a persistent field (AoE) of damaging fire for a long time
+
## Special Weapons
-- Heatseekers: Projectile that will guide around walls to get to your target point, and then explodes even if no one is there
-- Nuke: Slow projectile with enormous AOE (reminder: friendly fire)
-- Trebuchet Rounds: Projectile which only collides when it reaches its destination (as if it was fired in a parabolic arc)
-- Portal Cannon: Makes source/dest wormholes
+- **Heatseekers**: Projectile that will guide around walls to get to your target point, and then explodes even if no one is there
+- **Nuke**: Slow projectile with enormous AoE (reminder: friendly fire)
+- **Portal Cannon**: Makes source/dest wormholes (unmated endpoints time out; only one tunnel at a time)
+- **Viral Loader**: Projectile which, upon striking an enemy, causes them to discharge a shot of their current munition in the direction of the closest ally
+- **Blink Cannon**: On proc, moves you to the location of your cursor
+- **Volatile Munitions**: Projecile with significant AoE and range proportional to duration the fire-command was held-down before firing
+
## Passives
-- Light Ordinance: Faster move, fewer shots in air
-- Tactical Driver: Attempts to automatically move your tank out of harm's way when a bullet is imminent
-- Chameleon Engine: Makes enemies unable to see you for a limited time, confusing pathing
+- **Corpulent Plating**: Double hp, but half move speed
+- **Lightning Ordinance**: Faster move, but fewer shots in air
+- **Tactical Driver**: Attempts to automatically move your tank out of harm's way when a projectile is imminent
+- **Chameleon Engine**: Makes enemies unable to see you for a limited time, confusing pathing
+- **Palliation Engine**: You can survive up to 30 seconds while at fewer than 1hp
+- **Gravity Core**: Tanks and projectiles within a short distance are significantly slowed (within a 45-degree cone of your barrel), and your projectiles are slightly faster, but you are slower
+- **Gravity Wake**: Tanks and projectiles within a short distance are significantly slowed (within a 45-degree cone facing the opposite of your barrel), and your projectiles move slower, but you move slightly faster
+
## Shields
-- Turret Shield: extends 45-degrees around tour tank, centered on the barrel; impact pushes your tank back
-- Orbital Shield: small pellet-shield that orbits your tank
-- Stationary Shield: stationary shield sphere, passable to tanks but not bullets
-- Imprinted Stationary Shield: as the stationary shield, but passable only to your team and not others
+- **Turret Shield**: Extends 45-degrees around your tank, centered on the barrel; impact pushes your tank back
+- **Orbital Shield**: Small pellet-shield that orbits your tank
+- **Stationary Shield**: Stationary shield sphere, passable to tanks but not projectiles
+- **Imprinted Stationary Shield**: As the stationary shield, but passable only to your team and not others
+
## Consumables
-- Cloudpot: Your tank deploys an emergency zeppelin to float quickly from your current position to your cursor. Tank can only be hit by Trebuchet Rounds during that time.
-- The Stunna Shocka (EMP Device): Freezes all tanks in place (including you)
-- Time Dilator: Slows down time, except for your move speed.
-- Neural Shock: Take control of an enemy tank for a short duration. Against players, FF style confusion (reverse directions, reverse rotation of barrel, etc)
+- **The Stunna Shocka `XTR3M3-\m/` EMP Device**: Freezes all tanks in place (including you)
+- **Time Dilator**: Slows down time, except for your move speed
+- **Destabilator**: Destroys all projectiles in a large radius around you (counts as a collision for projectiles with AoE effects)
+- **Neural Shock**: Take control of an enemy tank for a short duration. Against players, FF style confusion (reverse directions, reverse rotation of barrel, etc)
+- **Point Defense Drone**: Stationary AI drone that attempts to shoot down [all] incoming projectiles
