We are of course poking fun because thats what we do here, have fun.

MFB would be pretty cool as a mode for FP, certainly could be more entertaining then what we have now. If i could get repaired by it i would be a lot more worried about it once it blew up.

These are the wacky ideas I was referring to in the other thread.

Having played against Technician reinforced squads in Hawken, I say this is a bad idea.

It's easy to shoot enemies. If you got an AC just pepper away. Lasers? beam-me-up-scotty! LRMs? **** you in particular -- and so on and so forth. There are other playstyles, like dedicate spotters or narcers, others cap, etc. etc. It's not canon, rather i'm just engaging in casual discussion.

But here's an idea, "Medic" Mechs, or at least equipment that will simulate the "Field Medic" role, but they're engineers that repair mechs instead. These equipment would require dedicated hardpoints like [1U] or "Utility".



These are just ideas on my head. I was just wondering if the community would be open with the idea of what remotely feels like Field Medic.

Worst Idea ever, this game has one thing going besides robots - it's not having healers, healers are a buzzkill

So are enemy lights.

I bet the same people who want "medic" mechs are the ones that don't want Quadrupeds!

SHAME!

Back in the days of ClickyTech, I ran a Bannon squad that was a trio of Hatchet men with the repair special ability card on each of them. Due to the wonky way repair interacted with melee, this particular unit could repair everything in base contact with it at the same time. So this trio of back-to-back mech just wanders up the field, two if them shooting everything down and the third continually repairing the other two 9f all damage every round.

I only miss that game because it had Clan Sea Fox mechs in it, but sometimes you could do some real wacky **** for funsies.

"Someone pls support"

"Support pls"

"heal pls"

"Omg our support is useless"

"Useless healer uninstall now pls"

Everyone is DPS in this game. You aren't allowed to have roles like this because reasons.

This is not WOW..

So..

NO.

[Appogee]

"Healing" Mechs...?

Sometimes this forum scares me.

[Larsh]

Wow so much hate for other ideas that aren't just use "All The Damage!" to get your wins in. But, before this game implements repair mechs, or bays, we should get better rewards for other playstyes first like AMS and such.

But, I am in support of repair equipment. They had this in the all-so-hated Dark Age click game, and it worked out rather well. If something like this was in-game, it could be set up that repair wouldn't completely repair fully. Games would go on for too long if that was the case.

Repair bays are just No. If you're damaged, are you really going to want to hobble all the way across the map to a bay that might get destroyed before you even get to it?

Wait, you are saying you were not trolling? O.o

[oldradagast]

Horrible idea.

Aside from it being unrealistic in a game with giant, walking combat robots, it would break the game completely. It would also shift the meta even more towards pinpoint, long-range builds because that would be the only way to kill the healer and effectively kill other mechs before they get healed.

[Coolant]

There were repair bays in MW4:Mercs. I'd be for that.

Well, we can still get resupply quad mechs at least.
