Topic: special kits and bomb sergeons

Will there be any special kits for certain levels?  Like if there's a space map, the kits wouldn't have grenades.  Can that be done? I know it could with the bf42 engine.  Please DO NOT include the "noob cannon" that GC had.  Also, there could be things like pilot kits or a bomb sergeon like kit that had no guns but some every powerful remote explosives.  The "bomb sergeons" would be used in titan mode based games to destroy the core, remember they have no gun so they need a squad to escort them.  If everyone spawns as one, they'll just be mowed down.  No other kits in these space battles would have explosives remember.  This would make it much more of a team effort to take down the core.  The explosives they use would take around 3 seconds to set up, then when they press detonate it does a ten second countdown.  The explosives would not be resuppliable and it would probably take 2-3 to blow the core.  I think there could be a better name for them too, other than "bomb sergeonss" tongue
Well this post turned out to be mainly about these bomb guys so I'll change the name.

Re: special kits and bomb sergeons

How about Demolitionist?

Here is an idea for 4 possible space battle classes. Pilots, Engineers, Demolitionists, and Marines.

The pilots could have a pistol, a life line (grappling hook) for 0g, a bright orange "rescue me!" (or shoot me) suit, a wrench, and a flare gun, and colored smoke for signaling or making an escape.

The Engineers could have a heavier weapon than pilots but not as heavy as the marines, a wrench, ammo, med packs, the ability to set up stationary AI turrets for defending halls, and a computer slicer. (use on a terminal to force a door open?)

The Demolitionists could have no gun but a laser cutter to substitute a knife? 1 Permacrete Detonator (for reactor), EMP grenades, an Industrial Torch like the one in BFV (cut doors open), Ion (EMP) grenades, a wrench, and a deployable shield wall like the one in GC.

The Marines could have a full auto weapon, or something heavy, a pistol, heavy body armor, a smoke grenade, and an infared scope or goggles.

I'm sure you guys have already thought about kits and have a system in place but more ideas never hurt.

The noob cannon was great, i would board the enemy ATAT by hovering the snowspeeder next to the door. (those imps are too lazy to shut doors behind them) I then would climb up the ladder into the top part where the ammo bin was and destroy it from the inside. lol

Re: special kits and bomb sergeons

The noob cannon was the TL-21 a large gun that could be found in the imperials base. It was basically a spray and pray weapon where you would run into a cp guns shooting.

Special kits would be a good idea. I always liked picking up unique kits in DCX and getting a better weapon. Just scatter a few kits in rebel and imperial bases that have a little better weapons just to give some more variety.

Re: special kits and bomb sergeons

A supply drop that also includes a  seperate box of better weapons would be pretty neat...Maybe it could also have a few heavier defensive weapons that you could pick up, then deploy to help hold a position.

Re: special kits and bomb sergeons

Pick up kits could be how the number of jedi is controlled if FS ever includes them. Just watch out if the jedi on your team gets overrun by the enemy or you will have to fight against two of them.
