For a 2.7m sp investment.... The pilot suit seems incredibly weak / useless. I have no ideas on what to do with it or how to make it better. I know that the CPM "want" it to be a thing as it "equals out the difference in maximum sp investment between infantry and vehicular roles"... But I'm still of the opinion that every point of sp spent into infantry roles is inherently much more valuable than vehicle roles.
Infantry are ubiquitous, they are needed to play the game, vehicles are still treated like temporary powerups rather than healthily functioning roles in their own right. Maps are too small for dropship transport to be a viable role, LAV's are treated like taxi's and HAVs are apparently only meant to fight installations (which don't auto-target infantry so aren't a threat to them) or other HAVs, because it (admittedly) ruins infantry lives when tanks are good at killing them.
I know this all sounds very ranty and I'm trying to be as constructive as I can, but I just don't see a point to pilot suits - the 'convenience' of not having to wait for rdv queue at the start of the match means nothing to me.

Ruining the game when pilots are good at aiming...
Go be a ******* idiot somewhere else thanks, the grown ups are talking.

Honestly I think if we just asked rattati would happily provide a forum ban for spkr

So here's a thought... It's tied in with another persons suggestion though.
Specific vehicles (LLAV's, dropship, logi-ds) get 'equipment' slots for stuff like bubbleshields, aoe infantry reps (modelled after triage nanohives), maybe even moving MCRU's into this equipment slot, etc. pilot suits can then be used to augment these vehicular equipment pieces, either by reducing cool down or increasing functionality.
It's kind of a two-phase idea though. Step one would have to be the equipment & slots, step two would have to be the pilot suit.
Would also fix up some issues with MCRU's eating up 'tank' slots on certain vehicles.
Edit: further thoughts include potentially moving most non-weapon / non-tank oriented 'utility' mods into these equipment slots: so scanners, fuel injectors, afterburners, MCRU's, remote repairs, whathaveyou. Set up vehicles with hard defined equipment totals and you can get interesting stuff like a uhav with a bubble-shield for crisis moments, old remote-rep spider tanking, current scanner & prop SHAVs, etc.
