I'm inclined to agree. Build diversity is healthy, and Assaults are currently afforded precisely zero reason to ever use a Range Extender. If it paid them utility comparable to that of plates or reps, perhaps they'd use it in pubs (though I strongly doubt they'd use it in PC).

That said, I'm under the impression from Cross here that Logis are the suits in need of hugs ... namely something they can be made good at which won't overlap too far into the role of an existing specialist.

Assaults are exceptionally good in their role at the moment (kicking arse) ... do they actually need free hugs?

I get what you are saying, logis need a little love and assaults are pretty good right now. A range extender buff would benefit logis more than assaults though as they already have a higher base scan range. Personally I use range extenders on my logi fits more than my scouts.

Maybe logis need a different buff. Do they still need to be slow?

What metric exactly are people using to suggested Logistics aren't in a good spot?

These are good questions for is Cross Atu; he's maintaining a huge thread on the subject.

As for an additional buff to Range Extenders, I only hesitate on account of the CalScout (leads the pack 91m). And before we jump to "nerf the CalScout scans" I'd point out that this is only thing he can do well apart from stacking HP.

bahahahaha! OMG, today was amazing. I got in a bunch of matches.

Of the Ambush matches only 1 was close. That was my final match that I decided to afk while I typed out messages to people over PSN. The others were great. The winning team always had at least 30 clones left.

Of the OMS matches, they were so much better. Usually one side had 50 clones left.

lol I love how the calculation takes in lifetime stats. I get to play with Nyain San in every match.

One of the matches, it was 3 Nyain San kids, me, and a squad of 3 from another corp, and some other people that were in player-corps. The other team? 16 NPC corp players. It was hilariously bad.

Scout need a nerf on 4 point

-radar only need to show a dot, without knowing where ppl look
-cooldown on cloak need to be longer
-seriously the kid stuff of the nova knife on tank... C'mon
-need to glow like when moving with cloak while hacking

My tough... Discuss

need more then glow while hacking. I would say pulsating bright neon green with at least 10 arrows pointing as they rotate around the scout flashing yellow and on top of that any dmg taken while hacking get a 100x multiplier with full auto aim assist to anyone in weapon range of the scout.
I mean really a glow while hacking? cmon OBJECTIVE is flashing that it is being hacked and you see nobody at the terminal kinda gives that one away.
if your camping a CRU, Turret, etc and you missed the shimmer run up to it. then your not a very good camper. Or if you don't circle around CRU, Turrets, etc looking for the slight blur or reticle to turn orange/red (not sure with my eyes) then maybe you should just learn to be in less of a hurry and actually TRY to find them.

Now the other points I can see the point of to a degree.
lose the angle give HP buff
longer cooldown on cloaks give a HP buff
you see I dont play the 800HP scout so that added intel and cooldown copensates for my lack of HP. I cant tank a shot poping out to see what direction enemy is facing. and cooldown is for my rapid escape because I can not tank Hits running away in an open field of enemy.

Now finally the NK tank dmg. LOL
yes that is a joke to me too. a plasma knife can do dmg to a tank but my plasma rifle, shotgun and pistol can not.

We have the directional radar dot listed as a bug.

I remember a day ... I saw a cal scout with a MD i laughed in my head and i said this guy made a ******* noob combo, near the end the guy killed me i was so pissed i wanted to send a hatemail, the name spawned... LeGoose so i sended a gg instead :)

You forgot he can only do that well if he gives up dampening also.

The bug is instead of a dot with direciton marker you get a chevron with pointed end being the back side of merc it represents.

I support nova knife tank hunting, there are so many scifi "reasons" why a glowing plasma blade would be able to cut open a tank, star wars, 40k, cyberpunk, and bullets wouldn't.

It's gonna be a big one!

dat ADS ROF nerf doe!

Oh they mad! They mad!

So, going from 50% ROF bonus to 15% ROF bonus, will the ADS no longer be able to sit above a tank and kill it in two clips?

EDIT: Before the tank can take steps to evade, I mean

Not sure what Ion weapons place was for in Star Wars ;-)

That shouldn't happen, please email the character you used and a couple of others so I can look it up.

@ One Eye

If I understand correctly, matchmaking algorithms were unchanged; 32 players are picked by the same old methods. What has changed is how those 32 players are divided (i.e. team building).

lol, i love the vehicle discussions. The pilots that are worthless on the ground make it sould like Assault Dropships have lower HP than unmodded militia LAVs. The pilots that are useful as infantry are just mad.

I think I'll be waisting that SP on missile incubus now

lol, i love the vehicle discussions.

Now all that's left is to make LAV's useful.
