I have, over time, compiled a list of modifications for the human team. Before you shout 'LOLMOD!' or something similar, I realize aliens will need counterbalance too, and expect me to deliver such a list in the future. I have drawn inspiration and ideas from everywhere, and I do not claim credit for any of the below ideas. If you would like to implement these in a mod *along with the alien modifications*, I would be very grateful. Anyway, here they are.
Slots
Some new slots. May be necessary, maybe not.
SLOT_ACC - The accessory slot. Holds an infinite number of items.
SLOT_UNDERA - The underarmor slot. Holds 1 item.
SLOT_SCOPE - The scope slot. Holds 1 item.
SLOT_BARREL - The barrel slot. Holds a maximum of three items.
Weapons
Items:
Mass driver - When zoomed, a red dot appears where the crosshair is, and the damage dealt upon firing goes up. As the damage goes up, so does the dot's opacity.
Fear Cannon - 200 ammo - 0 magazines - energy - When in use, enemy damage delt goes lower, goon pounce range less, rants charge range less, and hummie damage delt goes up in the vicinity. Ammo used like in flamer. - 500 creds - s2
Medigun - infinite ammo - Primary: shoots a beam toward a player that constantly replenishes his hp. If the player is close enough and the beam doesn't have to go through a wall, the beam persists. Secondary fire: Vampire beam, leeches enemy health, distributes among friends in range. Third - magazines are shot, and the player's ammo regenerates. - 200 creds - s2
Tractor Gun - 200 ammo - 0 magazines - energy - When shot, a beam goes out for one ammo. If it hits a wall, it retracts. If it hits an alien, the alien is stopped, much like a basi grab. Ammo is deducted like a flamer. When contacting an alien, grab is initiated for no ammo. - 300 creds - s3
Rocket Vulcan - 8 ammo - 10 magazines - Primary: Shoots a fast moving, high splash, high damage, rocket. Secondary: Empties magazine in a ring formation. Purpose: Troop cover. High knockback. - 500 creds - s3
Rant Stopper - 1 ammo - 15 magazines - Shoots a hitscan, high damage, high splash rocket that leaves behind a trail. When hitting a charging rant, any momentum or movement is negated. Same with pouncing goon. Also does damage and potentially throwback depending where it hit. High knockback. - 400 creds - s3
Seeker - 3 ammo - 5 magazines - Needs a heavy bsuit. It picks out the enemies that you see and sends seeker rockets at them. No splash. Short range. - 500 creds - s3
Tagger - 1 ammo - 15 magazines - Shoots sticky projectile that does no damage just sticks to alien. In proximity to the OM, it blows up. Or when that alien dies. - 600 creds - s3
Flamethrower - unchanged - primary unchanged secondary: Air blast that blows away enemies and projectiles. Costs 2 ammo. OR shoots fireballs that explode on impact OR splashes oil on something, and then it burns when flamed.
Chaingun - Secondary: slowing projectiles, don't do damage.
Gasgun - 150 ammo - 0 magazines - Shoots basi gas. Only affects enemies. - 250 creds - s2
Stickygun - 27 ammo - 0 magazines Shoots sticky bombs. Maximum of nine. Press alt fire to detonate. When you die, your bombs disappear. - 350 creds - s2

Tripwire - 150 ammo - 0 magazines - When shooting this at another teammate also using this gun, it creates a electric wire from one person to the other. It damages aliens that pass through. - 300 creds - s3

RPG - 1 ammo - 15 magazines - Shoots a single, laser guided rocket forward. Splash damage, knockback and kickback. - 400 creds - s3
Stringgun - 1 ammo - 5 magazines - Shoots a long incendiary string that is affected by gravity and sticks to anything and everything. One ammo means a few feet of string. Secondary fire detonates it and causes you to reload. Detonating while some string is still in the gun causes it to damage you depending on how much string is left. - 350 creds - s2
Secondary pulse fire - Shoots large slowdown projectiles that move slowly.
MLC(multipurpose laser cannon) - 250 ammo - 0 magazines - Primary: small hollow circle as crosshair. Shoots large hitscan projectile with splash damage and is shot instantly. Needs a while to reload. Secondary: 2x3 row small solid dot cursor. Rapidly shoots six hitscan laser shots. Laser shots do not spread, but keep the same distance between them. Gun has 3 laser batteries on both sides. Should be able to kill a rant. - 400 creds - s2
S2 ACkit - Secondary has medium spherical aim.
S3 ACkit - Secondary has large spherical aim+line-of-sight aim.

Nades
Most of these are replaced at s3 with their proximity-activated (alien OR structure) counterparts.

All battlesuits can carry an infinite number of grenades.
Heavy Battlesuit - Same as regular battlesuit, but with the addition of radar, and arrows at the screen's sides pointing to nearby enemies and friendlies with names and stats (name, class, health fraction). Also a battery pack+ammo pack. Also, protection is better, but speed and jump height are slightly less. - 700 creds - s3
Spiked Battlesuit - Same as regular bsuit, but it's spiked so enemies are hurt when touching it. - 500 creds - s3

Proximity Tower - Needs DCC. Has a sphere that changes color (green to red) depending on how close the nearest alien is. When the sphere is red, it also broadcasts an alarm that only humans here. (I think some of David Sk0re's horns would do well here.) - 5 bps - s2

Items:
Vulcan Blaster - Shoots at chaingun rate. - 300 creds - s1

Gameplay Changes
Function: Game mechanic is just changed.
Economics: As stages progress, the cost of the previous stage's items go down as a sort of supply+demand simulation.
Build timer: As stages progress, the build timer gets lower, and so does the time the structure takes to build.
Team status: You have two icons in your hud (progress bars optional) that tell whether the dcc and rc is up (current health optional).
DCC multiplier: the more dcc's you have, the faster the regen rate is.
Overheat guns: Certain guns could have infinite ammo, but need to cool down after fighting periods.
Infinite magazine guns: Certain guns could have x shots per magazine, with an infinte number of magazines.
Underarmor
Slot: SLOT_UNDERA
Function: Can provide some buffs.
Items:
Cloak - When on, conceals you from being seen and from enemy radar. It also mutes your movements. Taunts are still heard. Backpacks and weapons still invisible. Jetpack smoke invisible. - 300 creds - s2
Notes: Maybe change it so that you are only shown by firing your weapon, and structures not affected by the om's creep don't notice you.
Maybe have an option to disguise yourself as the class and name of an enemy player. You pick the class, and it finds a player of that class and your name is shown as such. If no one uses that class, you are given an error. Your radar indicator becomes red for aliens. You are buffed by boosters. Your health stays the same as a hummy. When attacking, you're disguise disappears and you fire your normal weapon. Disguise is on again when you stop firing. You are damaged by enemies whether teamdamage is on or off. Humans don't hurt you, neither do structures. Only structures under the OM's creep detect you and hurt you.
Fire Retardant - When on, you won't get flamer damage (from yourself or otherwise). - 300 creds - s2

Items:
Barrel - Adds your normal firing rate to your current firing rate - 300 creds - S2
