Yes, Power Hats. What I'm suggesting are three hats released at the end of every month that have special qualities and give a certain power to the users. For example, a propeller hat would allow you to float down a little bit more slowly instead of falling like a boulder. A bulletproof mask would decrease explosion damage by 50%. Wings would allow you to jump a slightly higher distance. And so on.
Even though we can wear three hats at once, Power Hats can only be worn one at a time. Power Hats would vary in price, but undoubtedly be way more than a normal hat (I'm thinking 1000-5000 ROBUX, 10,000-50,000 TIX).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know what some of you are thinking right now:
Q: "Will there be some kind of limit of what Power Hats you can bring into what games?" A: Yes. The Power Hats will be sorted by the same genres we have right now (Ninja, Town and City, War, etc.) and to bring a PH into a game, the creator of the game must check a box labeled "Allow Power Hats?"
Q: "Will Power Hats be limited items? Will they be able to be sold and traded when the official trading feature is released?" A: Power Hats will be limited items, but WILL NOT be able to be traded or sold when ROBLOX releases its trading feature. I've thought long and hard about this, but have come upon a conclusion that lots of ROBLOXians will just be scammed or hacked out of it.
Q: "Will I be able to give my Power Hats temporarily to someone else in-game?" A: No. If this would be possible, lots of users would just give someone a Power Hat, respawn, and then have another one to use or to give away. Power Hats are yours only.
Q: "Isn't this just a gear then?" A: In a way, yes, but Power Hats and gear could be used at the same time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I'm a bit far-fetched when I suggest this, but I want to see what you guys think of it. If you don't support it, please at least provide one significant reason why. I could really care less about what the names of these hats would be called (Power Hats, Ultra Hats, Super Hats, etc.). |

Great idea! I've never seen this before.
And the name is just fine.
Anyways, regarding one of your Q&As... Do you think it would be too much trouble for ROBLOX to make an update where you choose specific Power Hats that are allowed? I thought that that would be more convenient for certain games. |

No support.
Seems like a huge waste of resources. |

Great idea! I never thought about that before. Maybe they could do that idea with gear too while they're at it. :L |

And what they're doing right now isn't a huge waste of resources? The creativity in current hats is plummeting. At least with Power Hats they have fresh ideas to start with. |

| I do not support because power hats would add an unnecessary amount of new void functions to Rbx.Lua. |

| There's already gears that do everything you named for a lot cheaper. And they SHOULD be traded and sold. |

Please give me an example of a gear that lets you float down slower and a gear that reduces explosion damage by 50%. |

| Gravity coils CAN do that, yes, but that's why I'm not suggesting another gear that does it. Hats are much more stylish, don't take up backpack slots, don't have to be selected, and so on. |

| explosion shield is not a powerhat. explosion shield is a powerup, which would be controlled by a gear. |

| It would be extremely inconvenient to control a shield with a hat. |

What??? That's the point of Power Hats Speedy. They are hats that have powerups. |

No.
There's gear that can do that...and some can do more than 1 thing. |

Now you're posting irrelevant subjects. I never said those were going to be Power Hats, I simply stated those were examples of what they could be.
@Speedy
You don't control the shield with a hat. It's always there, just invisible. |

Agree with what part? Again, the Power Hats I mentioned on my post are simply EXAMPLES. |

I know, I have the gear. If you are going to continue to post troll comments, I'm just going to ignore you. For the third time, the Power Hats mentioned were ONLY EXAMPLES. |
