After playing with the Mass Driver for a bunch I must say I feel it's slightly under-powered.
I would like to propose a targeting feature for it.
The idea I have in mind would be to use the HUD to preview where the grenade will land, where the electronics would predict the arch and target area. Perhaps this might even require an extra electronics module to be fitted in tandem with the weapon, perhaps not.
Either way:
1) The weapon would be more effective
2) The effect would look cool as ever
3) The limited range of the weapon would limit OP potential

Mass drive is for softening up groups of enemies, not killing them. Wide splash range and lower damage is really ideal for this purpose. |

Would be nice... if it wasn't that only a direct hit seems to damage enemies at all. |

shouldnt take all 4 shots to kill with splash, maybe 2. ammo is already limited and it is a L infantry weapon...feel like with all the Swarm luancher whining that mass drivers got the short end of the stick. BOOST POWER CCP, DONT WORRY, ITS NOT A SWARM LUANCHER |

It's fine as it is. Try taking out vehicles with it more. It's more of a support weapon. |

Ammo is never a problem if you carry a nanohive. I think the mass drive fills a specific role in crowd control without being a 1 hit kill. I mean even if you had it kill people in 2 shots, the mass drive holds 4 in the cylnder and 16 in reserve, thats 20 shots, or 10 kills, which is even more than the 6 kills you could get with a swarm launcher before needing more ammo.
Mass driver is fine as is, especially if you level up the proper skills. |

I think the answer to this lies in more kinds of ammo types - Anti-shield, Anti-armor, Flux, Burning/DOT, Etc. |

I like it the way it is right now because if it's dumbed down, then it will become a noobtube that doesn't take any skill to use. The only thing that makes me respect this weapon is the fact that you have to plan the projectile trajectory in your own head. You must get use to using its sight and know how far away someone is so you can correct your aim. It will take some time to learn distances, what arc to use, and perhaps even some predicting when you have a running target..... So seeing how I do enjoy the mass driver, I don't want it to be the dumbest weapon to use, but rather, it actually takes skill to use. |
