I mean, come on, everyone I see is using a nanohive.
Why?
Because weapons have very low ammo when you compare how many bullets it takes to take down a target.
Assuming PERFECT PRECISION you can take out an assault player in 10 shots.
But usually human error puts it at 15-25 bullets.
Now sometimes you shoot to provide cover, sometimes you shoot to scare your enemy away, so you can at best get 10-15 kills before needing a nanohive.
Or if you do the above (provide cover, scare your enemy away) it can go down to 5.
This means that any assault player will run a nanohive, almost no exception.
Do we really want this?
I think the base ammo pool should be increased.
Not too much, otherwise there won't be a need for nanohives, but enough to make assault players have a reason to try something else. |

Exactly my point -_-
Why use the other equipment when Nanohive is the best bet?
You get to shoot more people. |

Assaults should be running injectors to save your clones and have the ability to 'ask' for ammo from a logistics in the same way you ask for a revive.
So no, if you want more ammo for your AR carry a hive if you're solo or squad with a logi.

TAR lasts far too long without a nanohive.
I really don't want AR's to get this much longevity. |

No.
Sigh...

Do you people comment before you read the whole post or what? I'm saying the current numbers are good and increasing them even a little is not good. Do you peo.... oh, wait.
Whelp, go on then.
Have no variety with equipment at all. |

Not too much, otherwise there won't be a need for nanohives, but enough to make assault players have a reason to try something else. not across the board, maybe as a bonus to all assault suits. So assault suits get a shield regen bonus and a max ammo capacity bonus.
I'm not suggesting to give all weapons equal amounts of extra ammo.
For example the TAC really doesn't need it, I can go a full match without needing a nanohive.
But ammo is really low.
At least make supply depots more common, or give us more ways to refill ammo.
Picking up enemy ammo maybe? |
