Couple newish ideas


To elaborate on Paingiver's idea-- why not create a homing beacon weapon (included with Medium Assault..or Sniping) that is basically a one-shot pistol that fires a beacon and can stick to vehicles, MAXes, walls or the ground. Then all squad members can see the blip on their radars and maps, allowing CR5s to get their orbital strikes dead on. If possible, they could also make any homing missiles (ie: AA MAX or Skyguard) lock on to the nearest homing beacon, improving their accuracy. The ammo for this homing pistol would be the size of a full box (3x3) but only contains one beacon to keep the maps/servers from getting bogged down by these things. They could also give the beacon a 90 second lifespan before it runs out of power.

Also, add another common pool weapon and ammo type-- tranquelizer flechettes that come in boxes of 20. Each flechette would dish out 1 health damage and take off 5 stamina, going right through body armor (but not MAXes). Create a handgun that holds 8 shots in the magazine, and a submachinegun that can unload 20 of them in short order, but has a ridiculous cone of fire so they are only useful up close and by firing in bursts. The point of this would be to quickly disable enemy infantry, preventing them from making a quick getaway and hampering implant usage before switching to another weapon to finish the job. The handgun comes with Medium Assault, the SMG with Heavy.
