Just about the tag bonus.

I understand the tag/narc bonus was misused during last challenge but that is not working now isn't the best solution either. From my last couple of days experience I have to say that's absolutely insane to take a risk of tag targets in light mechs and get nothing except the spotting bonus and counter-ECM bonus eventually. As a spotter/scout I operate off the main group and try to mark target for the rest of the group. I'm doing this with TAG laser so everybody can see me. It's almost impossible to mark enemy this way without being spotted. And with all that risk I got 2 100 c-bills/25 experience for spotting.

IMO TAG bonus should work like this: if you mark target which is normally detectable you can get the spotting bonus only. Or maybe a bit higher, 'cause you help to decrease the locking time for your team. But once you taging target which is under the ECM cover then you should get way higher bonus. Just because if you wouldn't do it, nobody from your team would be able to launch missiles, or even see the mech on HUD.

Thanks for the heads up Paul, I was very confused that all my NARC and TAG bonuses had disappeared.

Since those hidden rewards are still tracked maybe you could reward narc and tag between these patches retroactively when the patch comes? That way I could keep playing my spotter builds knowing I'd eventually get the cbills for it.
