Problem: With the release of SKINS and APEX suits, it has become difficult to visually identify a suits tier and class. Many people, including myself, use this quick information to make split second decisions on how to engage that target. TacNet information can only be viewed when aiming at an enemy which can be tedious and time consuming in delecate situations.
Solution: created custom chevrons for each class and tier of dropsuit. It could be as simple as Lt/Sc/Me/As/Lo/Hv/Co/Se for classes (hint: small > large) with S/A/P/O next to it. This would only be for the HUD and not the Minimap or full map.
Thoughts?

Hopefully no, if it's possible. My idea was have the traditional chevrons center over their head (this is what will show up when scanned) and then flanked left and right with the suit class and tier (only when lone-of-sight scanned).
Though honestly I'd rather see scans only show up on the minimap, but that's another topic.

To reiterate, this information will only be available when line-of-sight scanned. It would just be a quicker way to read the TacNet info already gleamed from the bottom text. Of course the bottom text will be more accurate with details, like how much health they have, etc.
And yes, that happens more often than not, but with every suit. You handle a standard commando different from a photo heavy with a light weapon, even a a standard assault verse a Proto logi.
