But there are TAG changes coming very soon anyway...

What's this about now?

wont work, when I run LRM boats I dont bring tag or narc and could not give a bantha poopoo if others bring narc or tag or not.

Rewarding tag and narc is fine but right now putting tag on a mech is like adding a 40% bonus cbill module. On multiple occasions now I have made ~30% of my earnings from tag and I do NOT tag like a spotter when doing it. I simply have tag on all the time but only actually have it on the enemy when I pop out to shoot them or if I'm moving in and not getting shot at.
They should
-decrease those kind of tag rewards,
-increase non tag rewards
-increase rewards for tagging a enemy and then having that enemy hit by lrms from teammates that couldn't see him otherwise (bonus points if they were under ecm, and if the spotter doesn't take fire for x amount of time)

AMS c-bill bonus.

When I take dual ams and 3 tons of ams ammo, it usually isnt for myself but to instead save a couple slower assaults who cant necessarily hop right into cover.

Maybe give some incentive to take AMS.

Reducing ammo of any kind will lead to less-varied loadouts; LRMs and ballistic weapons will be useless unless you boat even more ammo. It will also indirectly make IS mechs more fragile, as ammo explosions will happen more often. It's not a good solution.

Tweaking heat sinks (for example, decreased heat cap + increased dissipation) will have some interesting effects on the game, but will not affect LRMs or C-Bill farming in any way. Discussion of that really does belong in a different thread.
