There are some details I wonder about NARC, so I just throw them in here, maybe someone knows:

1. Do multiple NARCs stack together to provide better boni? Only thing I found about NARC is, that it "increases" missile lock on during 30 secs. But not excatly how "much" of a increased lock on. If a target is already NARCed, and it gets hit by another NARC, what happens? Does that increase in missile lock on is boosted even more, or does that second NARC overwrite the first one (beginning a new "NARC effect" from that moment on - effectly prolonging the NARC effect). Or does it go wasted alltogether? If it somehow stacks - think about a NARCboat, to NARCotise every one on sight

2. What about friendly "fire" with NARCs? If we - accidentally of course - hit a team member with that NARC, does that friendly mech gehts increased lock on from enemy missiles and could it even lose its ecm?

(P.S. Not sure if this is the right forum for equippement / game mechanics questions...)

AFAIK

1) Multiple Narcs do not stack (or at least aren't supposed to) in the same way that multiple TAGs do not stack.

2) There is no "friendly fire" with Narc just as there is no effect to TAGing a friendly.

friendly fire on narcs would spawn so many trolls that the servers would explode

Yeah no friendly fire on narc, tried it. Was out in a missile heavy build on alpine and didnt get to shoot a single narc, was standing there with a friendly twolf capping while team went to go kill a disconnected guy so I was giving him a liberal application of narc dots.

Sad that they didnt show up visably, would have been hilarious and I would have had to set out to put nipples on every atlas I saw.

I have tested this extensively in private matches. NARC does not affect allies in any way, nor does TAG. Multiple Narcs do not stack benefit, each lasts 20 seconds (30 for Clan tech). The enhanced NARC module extends that duration as well.

Duration is enhanced by 10 seconds with the module.

Thanks for all the anwsers.
