The list goes on, but it IS finite and I support your efforts...
'distractor' is better termed an 'infiltrator'
hunter - scout with TAR / SCR who picks off stragglers and snipers
flanker - fast suit who specializes in attacking enemy flanks (has long-range, speed, possibly uplinks)
dedicated gunner - for small turrets
force recon support - min logi who runs with stealth squads
"logi" should be broken down into: Camp Support (hives, links) / Heavy Support (core focused reps) / Frontline Support (core rep on 2x assaults) / Demolitions (RE, proxy, hives) / Combat Logi (focused on killing, hives, uplinks)
CQC Specialist / Security - shotgun/sidearm-specialized assaults/scouts

sniper can be broken into Redline, Counter, Overwatch and Combat (mobile near the frontlines) variants as well. You mostly see redline and counter, occassionally overwatch, and rarely combat (Kuja is the only one I can think of who was any good at it, and he might disagree with me on the classification) |

How about "force recon guy"?
LOL sorry didn't know the reference. Infiltrator was a stealth class in Dark Age of Camelot waaaaay back in the day, sort of like the dude in Assassin's Creed. |

... i considered flanker as a variant of an infiltrator because they both sneak into groups of enemies from what i understand, but flanker has a more kill mindset.
I'd differentiate by saying the flanker 'attacks' the flanks without going INTO the flank. More about delaying tactics, back-hacking, destroying the enemy's rear uplinks, kiting, drawing enemies away from their front line to spread them thin on their front line - and you don't have the 'suicide mission' mindset ... The role is sort of near and dear to my cold cold heart...

And fun :-) Would be nice if you could have a modified uplink that would only work for extraction to vehicles with in a certain range. Example...the std "extraction" uplink would have a 20m radius and the drop ship could do a low flyby and pick you up. Higher tier modules have longer range and more uses. You could have a team of dedicated pilot, 2 gunners, and 4 assaulters that could wreck house in a skirmish match.
Like a module that would be some sort of basket / sling / rope that would extend the sphere in which the "Enter Vehicle" message appears. Actually a really original and awesome idea. Should put it in the feedback forums. |
