However, it's definitely not the worst weapon. Even in its current weak state, it's better than machine guns or flamers.

Yeah, you're right^^
Especially flamers are now in the worst state they've ever been since open beta XD
Except for blinding people, for this purpose they have never been more usefull than now.

Well let's see what future buffs are still to come...

thats the real turn off for me. i can have something that does a similar job AND stacks with my built in missile upgrades? or, i can pay three tons more and get a "better" buff, but it is not compatible? no thanks. anyone using NARC right now is wasting their time, for most LRM mechs it wont even do anything.

You are missing the point of NARC.

NARC's purpose is not to tighten the missile grouping. It just happens to do that sometimes.

I'm not saying that NARC is where it needs to be, but it seems like a lot of folks here are arguing about it without understanding what it actually does, and are mistakenly thinking it's just a missile based tag laser.

I'd prefer if narc

1. Stayed longer. (maybe also inc dmg threshold, or remove it)

2. Provided no bonus's to spread or lock etc.

3. Let LRM users "bombard" a grid area (maybe uses half ammo. IE LRM20 fires 20 rounds, but uses 10 ammo when bombarding.) if the narc was fired on the ground. Obv the missiles would land randomly in the grid the narc is in.

4. Maybe had its own slot for certain mechs. (others would have to use up a missile slot)

5. Possible longer cooldown on refiring (IE 20sec or more) to stop bombard spam, or just general narc spam. Or just 1 narc works , if you fire another before the other runs out , the first one is destroyed.
