Same reason why I don't want to be restricted to sidearms. Not having one in exchange for equipment slots is a much better tradeoff than not being able to use the only support weapon in the game as a support class.

Speaking of mass drivers, have you had any luck with it after the ninja nerf? It's easier to get kills with it and all, but I can't herd people or pin them down at choke points like I used to.

Overall no my experience with the MD is worse. However I am far more effective in kills and scaring people off with it in Uprising its not the best weapon due to several bugs associated with it most notable the explosions that deal 0 damage to direct hits, and the shot and smoke trails not matching.

As for the Logi-suits MUST have MDs is a very poor argument and it is a narrow minded consideration to the fact a sandbox exists. To extrapolate you are supposed to be able to explore the use of any light weapon and any suit with a light weapon slot can explore the use with mass drivers. Some of the scariest MD users from last build where not Logi-suits but scout suits that use them for CQC weapons in Chomosome but that is my personal opinion of scary and crazy. None the less there is little stopping a Heavy, Logi, Sentinel, Assault, Medium, Light, Scout from equipping the MD itself. This sand boxing is however is what is happening in the current build. Some assault player asked what-if he could use the Logi-suit to make the 'Ultimate' Soldier. The Logstics suits readily and quickly answered that question in every way possible.

The issue is that most of the 'killer bees' are using Duvolle Tactical Rifles, which are nice to see back on the field in terms of use I fear a nerf bat may be heading its way as well (again, sigh.) I rather not nerf guns, nerf suits, or buff assaults to really make the heavy based and light based suits felt really left out entirely.

It be easier to move the mass driver as a side arm instead at this rate though.
