Ok.
I see that we are looking at a number of new moves.
But could we please have them so that they grant an ability.
E.g. The Pills lasts for 600secs and while its active you have an ability in your actions bar. So that it would cost IS and so that they don't end up working like Holy water, Silver bullet.

Re:Please do the Pill's properly
Consumables do fit in with the Matrix universe very well, as the idea of something you swallow being code and affecting a Redpill's program are portrayed throughout the movies. The red and blue pills, the Oracle's cookies, her candy, the Merovingian cake and etc. are all examples. As things are now, we have five consumables which affect gameplay: Health Pill, Antibiotic (pill), Tactic Booster (injection), Health Booster (injection) and Health Inhaler. Also there are RSI Reconfiguration Pills. (Did I forget any?) There are of course props which appear to be pills, vials or injections but which have no game function. When there were Ability Grants in the game, they were inhalers. Now it seems Ability Grants are coming back (at least for these three moves) and they are using the pill icon. Will the animation include the swallowing of the pill or is it just assumed? What about the idea of using a cell phone icon (with different background color for each Ability) to imply that this is an Ability which is downloaded to the operative via. cellphone from the Operator. Since it's a one-use-per paradigm, it would have to be explained as "a heavily encoded and copy protected routine." The idea doesn't change anything about the way the ability works, only the icon used and the description, but adds a "Matrix feel" that is too often missing from MxO. Out of interlock use might even include the existing cell-phone animation with code streaming into the RSI. (Assuming the grant is for a time period and/or until the first use after downloading.) Comments from players and Rarebit, please?
So they all have 30 of D.P.S.
The funny thing about these pills, when you fail but you DO the animation, it'll use a wall... somehow but it'll use.
