I recently spec'd into repair tools to use with my commando suit and found that when I'm on the front line sticking to a glob of blues it's difficult to choose the one guy in the crowd who lost most of his armor.

Would it be possible to have the repair tool auto-lock on the person with the most damage if you're in a crowd? This way medics can dish out appropriate healing without having to get up on the damaged guy to single him out.

I am not at all in favor of this. Having a repair tool that automatically focuses on the most damaged player would remove the need for the user to actually aim/think. People who are using rep tools need to constantly think (when facing a large group) who should I be repping and who will provide the most help to the team once at full health. Making the targeting automatic would eliminate this rather fun aspect of the game.

Additionally the changes you are proposing might run into issues where the repair tool will only lock onto a damaged turret or vehicle (even one that is not in use) since it is more damaged than the player the logi actually wants to repair.

OP. 1st off. You are a LOT better (If playing as a commando) With the two L weapons and a REPAIR NANO-HIVE. This way you can repair YOURSELF and others while still getting a decent amount of ammo resupply.

BUT moving back to main issue. I think the best way to go would be WHILE YOU ARE REPAIRING SOMEONE: if you press Melee, the repair tool will change targets. (Or any button, i just chose melee because , i dont know...it can be L3 maybe? SELECT BUTTON.....?)

Yeah, I know I'd be better off with the rep hives, but I'm a selfless healer... I'll usually be the meat-shield while repping so the person can attempt an escape. Plus I decided on a rep tool commando over hives commando what with all of the logis and assaults running hives.

And I would be content with there being a button tied to changing the lock-on. It would be awesome to be able to have the rep tool locked onto someone, and as you're healing them you turn around and hit the button to change the lock onto someone else.

1st- You would be surprised how LITTLE people give nanos. When i play as a Forge gunner i just cant BELIVE i have to actually BEG for ammo sinec people just use them to reload their OWN Mass drivers XD The Rep Nanohive IMO is a better option, you give and receive amo, you heal and give ammo.
You CANNOT be a meat shield since Commandos are squishy. My Advanced Amarr assault packs 690 HP and thats 90 more than my commando. Have More stamina,shield regen and speed. But if thats your game style Ok. I just feel taht with 2 Light weapons you are better off asan OFFENSIVE unit than a defensive one,since Logis can ''MEAT SHIELD'' A LOT better, while moving faster and having more equipment.

2- While CCP reads this and figures out what to do, You might consider using one of them Repair tools that heal 2 objectives at once. XD
