There has been talk lately about how the Pinpoint skill is a useless XP sink because we already have instant convergence, and how it needs to be replaced. This brings up the question of what to replace it with, and i was thinking maybe a skill that either increases all projectile speeds, and reduces all beam burn times by 2.5%, or increases all weapons ranges by 5% as a match fro Fast Fire skill.

Well, at any rate, discus.

Perhaps increase torso twist and yaw speed? Possibly in a non-linear manner, i.e. for small movements of the mouse, the change is instantaneous, while for larger motions, standard limits apply.

I could see that working, especially if PGI replaces ghost heat with a system that reduces the speed of pitch, yaw, and arm tracking, as well as overall mech speed as heat climbs.

Both your ideas are so good that i think they should get both of them. Period.

There's also the new InfoTech stuff. It's possible that PinPoint could be replaced with something that helps you acquire/retain locks faster/longer. It could also increase your base sensor range.

I posted weeks ago that pinpoint should become a target info gathering 5% buff. I just hope my suggestion did not turn into the info warfare ptsd thing.

I think we should just scrap all of the skill system and make a new one (or don't - the game would probably be better off without it)
