I'm not a call of duty player but one of my favorite jobs in a team base game was in Chromehounds(RIP) the Command mechs carry radar dishes on their back and had a map that they could see enemy troop movement once a scout had com towers taken. Your job as command in the game was to be the eye in the sky for the team and help with flanking the other team.
Now Ghost Recon had a UAV that support flew which meant you couldn't shoot but you gave your team intel which was huge.
So what if Command Drop Suits could throw out a Drone that flew around a grid area of the map and when they open their map they see all troops in the area. To counter the drone you would be able to target them with swarmemrs or dropships.
Just a idea from a crazy Logi |

Part of this will surely be covered with items using the Active Scanner category. |

I just really love when a game makes teamwork rewarding so maybe Active Scanner will do this ::fingers cross::: |

I think something like BT's B.A.P. as a drone would be cool.
You could even have a bit of variation for them.
Say, for a stealth one, one of them is small, stationary, and hangs around half MCC height, and never shows on HUD, but is paper thin and basically free points for any sniper that pays attention.
Or a speedy little bastard with limited coverage, but zooms it's way in a pattern around the map. |

Look at the original dev blog for dropships. Manned so requires actual teamwork, but otherwise exactly what you're looking for. |

Drones are a gallente specialty, as missiles are a caldari one. The caldari got the swarm, the gals will probably get their drones at some point.
Maybe not for recon though, in eve the drones could repair armour/shields, jam the enemy weapons/sensors, target paint, web(slow movement), or cause direct damage. There was a drone skill that allowed controlling one drone per level, with the subtypes unlocked by other skills. A drone control module with similar skills would be a unique weapon/utility tool.
The skill for sensors is already available, and the market category is there too, just empty. We may have remote sensors just be in market after downtime someday. |

I think we should all just wait with this topic. There are going to be command suits and I'm guessing there will also be command vehicles (and let's not forget the MCC which will eventually be piloted...).
CCP have a lot to still show us with the game. I'm sure it'll be better than our wildest expectations. |
