Let's face it, Skeeters need some help. Right now they're Skeets, as in skeet-shooting. I have never piloted one, personally, but I have seen piloted like two times. The Reaver:Skeeter Ratio is about 50:1. There needs to be some changes around here.
1. Give Mosquitoes a sensor package, any ground unit within 100m of them at midway point on the alt level, gets picked up on radar. Therefore, the Skeeter would be a mobile sensor package. The lower you go, the farther away the range is, ex: At treetops level, 150m, at ceiling height, 50m.
2. Maybe give them a cloaking deal where if you're an Infiltrator you can turn on cloak. Using afterburner or weapons kills the cloak for about 4 seconds. The higher you push the throttle, the less you're cloaked.
3. Add empire benefits to the Skeeter? A red one is going to be spewing a lot of lead at you, a blue one will be packing a punch, and the purple one needs a small plasma grenade effect as well as increased CoF. I add the plasma due to the fact aircraft CoF remains relatively small after a period of firing compared to assault rifles.
Just a few suggestions not meant to be added altogether, but just 1 or 2 or maybe 3. Thoughts?
