My take on the MTACs -
I think there should be just like the regular dropsuits, having similar guns, and having different types, like a light, two mediums, and a heavy. This is how I think they should be laid out:
Light: Has one gun, no equipment slot, and the same module setup as the scout dropsuits; the fastest MTAC type.
Assault: Has two guns, one equipment slot, same module setup as the assault dropsuits; the second slowest MTAC type.
Support: Has one gun, two equipment slots, same setup as the logi dropsuits; the second fastest MTAC type.
Heavy: Has three guns, no equipment slots, same setup as the Heavy dropsuits; The slowest MTAC type.
Gun types are the same, but adding a AA missle launcher, which would only be for heavy, and a laserrifle type deal, but with a longer beam range and overheating time. Also, on vehicles, there could be a ammo count, which could be refilled at points on the map, at the base, or by vehicle nanohives, which could be deployed by my care package idea thread. The MTAC's could even carry the Care packages to a specific point.
Equipment Types-
Repair beam: Repairs vehicles at a faster rate than the handheld versions; can't repair dropsuits.
Vehicle nanohive: deployable nanohive that can refill vehicles at a slower rate than the care packages' nano hive
Radar scans: for other vehicles, and stronger versions can scan for dropsuits. the radar has a time limit before shutting down.
Video feed: Can get a video feed from the commander's UCAV, which can be viewed from my Remote controlled drones idea thread.
(P.S, if you want to critize me, please be reasonable, and explain yourself. Thank you  )
EDIT: now thinking about it, I want to take away the sniper rifle, because that just seems silly to have. Also, the turrets that the MTAC and other vehicles that I have discuessed that are simlar to the MTAC in size and firepower gets the weapons class called super-light vehicle turrets. These turrets are weaker than small, and stronger than the 2 heavy weapons. |

Way more mobile, and the Light MTAC is as fast as the Heavy dropsuit. Plus, two militia launchers to the face is death for a tier 1, so They're not as good as you think. |

And I want to say that the weapons the MTAC could be called super-light vehicle weapons (the same as that VTOL jet) that is In bewteen regular heavy weapons firepower and small vehicle firepower. And to the guys that think that this is pointless, and that they will be OP, just think about how vulernable they will be in wide open maps to Swarm missles, forge cannons, and other weapons, but then useless in closed in maps to where there's lots of things in the way. Then, I got the idea to where someone can shoot you out of it with say a sniper, so now on top of everything, you could be even be shot out. |

People would not accept being forced to crawl across the map. And reducing speed to something well below even heavy dropsuits would make combat a very simplistic thing, as you wouldn't be fast enough to do much more than stand in place and shoot. Being dropsuits, these things would also die quickly to snipers. None of the ideas you've expressed sound more compelling than MTACs being vehicles, being mechs, and functioning as mechs might be expected to.
well they step further, so it balances out a little.I mean how fast they step is about the speed of the heavy. Think before you type k? |
