I have heard all manner of suggestions for increasing scout utility and survivability, ranging from the easily implemented (more CPU/PG, extra slots, etc.) to the less readily obtainable (jet packs). I believe all have their merits and their possible drawbacks.
I would like to suggest a scout utility that would be very easily introduced: Teleportation.
How is that easy? You may ask. Well, if scouts had the ability to redeploy from any blue controlled CRU or Uplink we could traverse the battlefield with ease. We would pull up our wristwatch as if hacking and it would take us back to the deployment screen where we could redeploy without losing a suit. We could make it have a meter, much like an instillation, to keep it from being instantaneous or usable in battle. All of these screens and animations are already in the game.
What arr your thoughts/tweaks/criticisms? |

As it is a combination of already implemented functions rather than something requiring entirely new mechanics and graphic elements, it should be easier to implement than something like a jet pack.
I am utilizing common sense, rather than an intimate knowledge of programming.

Scouts would effectively become dust trollers.
Actually, scouts are barely faster than assaults, slap a kincat on a medium frame and you're on par with a scout for speed. However, a scout's eHP potential is wildly disparate compared to an assault suit, my advanced scout fitting barely ekes past 350eHP.
If you dislike the teleport idea, that's cool, we all have our opinions. However, as an exclusive scout suit runner, I have to say that our speed and agility is barely better than that of a medium frame and not worth the huge eHP sacrifice and PG/CPU cut that the suits are subject to. |
