I haven't modded this game in a while but this idea came to my mind. Don't really know why I'm posting this, I'm half-bored but I also want to gauge how much interest there is in such a mod. Only read this comment if you have time to waste.
---
If anyone remembers (most likely not), I made this mod a year ago:
A jetpack flight mod, allowing you to quickly travel across the landscape in ME:A. That's what the mod was designed to do, and only that. Travel and explore. What I didn't really explore at the time was how much this mod could affect the combat.
Combat is ME:A is mostly ground-based, although occasionally you jump and hover (aim) for a couple of seconds before gliding back to earth.
What if you could do pure air combat, without *ever* needing to go back on land? I'm talking about a gameplay loop that operates on two new mechanics that I'd need to implement:
- Being able to maneuver your hover (aim) direction and height, (with WASD and Spacebar)
- Being able to instantly transition between flight/ironman mode and hover (aim) mode in quick succession
On paper, it would look something like,
Flight (Evade bullets or reposition) -> Instantly transition to hover (aim), shoot bullets -> Back to flight to reposition yourself (Evade bullets or reposition) -> repeat. all without ever needing to touch the ground
With enough interest maybe I could go and make that mod happen.
Although what I've noticed is that I must be a special person to have interest in mods like these, because none of my mods that affect gameplay loops (in this game or in Dragon Age: Inquisition) have gotten too much traction. Perhaps it better stay just an idea after all? Thoughts..

I grabbed your mod as soon as you released it and haven't played without it since.
One of the things I wished about was exactly the option to fight while zapping around in the air.
So yeah, I absolutely vote for it.

A question, why do you call it an Iron Man combat mod? Because it clearly does not have the Iron Man suit and it does not have the weapon systems that Iron Man uses.
Edit: I may have worded that strongly, but honestly it should just called a flight mod. Because the names confusing because it has nothing to do with Iron Man.

I may be completely wrong and the OP is free to correct me, but when I first saw the video I immediately thought of Iron Man because of the Jet Pack powered flight. And the mod is AWESOME, wavebend.  |

If the mod had the suit plus the weapon systems, it would be totally bad ass (even more so if it had Warmachine's suit, complete with mini gun.) |

Don’t have the full tools to create something like that. Oh and to the topic, loved your mod when my pc was working. So I’ll definitely pick this up once my pc is fixed if you do it. |

It might be worth looking at how to make movement/combat that'd suit no gravity environments. Although at the moment it wouldn't be much good, once the toolset gets better, such a combat edit could be useful.
