I completely agree! I also want pilot roles! I want my pilot to become a level 50 mechamancer that can repair internal damage on friendly mechs within range, jam enemy weapons in close combat and can put a spell on his weapons to give them through-armor-criticals!
Other roles for pilots could be mechahealer, mechadancer (enhances mobility, jump jet thrust, speed and twist speed) and mechadestruktor (enhances weapon damage, ammo count and gives additional weapon slots)!

I hear you can get the purple laser crystals on Tatooine.

Man. Saying we NEED something in game just makes me chuckle. I have only used the basic ammo (sometimes Artemis and NARC) forever. I have no need for fancy ammo. Save special effects for Hollywood.

Hey, I rather like AP ammo for IS AC's.... Even at half ammo per ton and the to hit penalties...

Technically Depleted Uranium(CBT Standard ammo) is AP ammo.

True, but the ammo I'm talking about will always cause a chance at a crit when it hits regardless of armour values.

CBT standard AC ammo is more typically described in the form of APHE or SAPHE shells (as there are many, many more exmples of AC shells being described as explosive than there are examples describing them as any form of KEPs; the sole exception that readily comes to mind is the MechBuster attack plane, with its 4-shell-burst-firing, DU-firing "Zeus-75" AC/20), as distinct from the Armor-Piercing special munitions (which are described as "[using] advanced ballistics materials and improved anti-armor warheads").

So, it must be noted that CBT "standard" AC ammo is not the same thing as CBT "Armor-Piercing" ammo, and neither typically takes the form of DU rounds (or other pure KEPs).

So... What, jump straight to making your own stuff and ignoring maximum tech? Seriously, where are the acid srms, inferno rounds, sabot rounds (or whatever they were called?) Thunder munitions, Thunderbolt launcher? If you wanna ask for fancy ammo, why not start with cannon?

Besides, we're still too early for most of that.
