Engineer is one my favorite classes. I really like the Pulsar-C, in extended fights I never have to worry about running out of ammo, and at major facilities I can repair generators that we aren't able to stabilize in time. And getting a turret in prime position repaired while dodging snipers can be a lot of fun.

Not to mention dropping an ammo pack in a good location == a lot of free experience.

Edit:
As far as MAX weapons go, there's one AI variant that has extended clip, and of course the certs for extra magazine size on AA and AI weapons (although some people have reported not getting a 50% increase with at least one burster's arm).

U gotta save up certs man, ive recently spent the 1k to unlock both scat extended mags and while i love being able to throw 24 shots out before reloading I still run out of ammo. Engi is essential if no terminal is nearby. Trick is to spam the hell out of /re chat and proximity voice. If i see an engi i will follow them chirping their name until they take notice and assist me. Usually they listen when they hear their name and the words "i will kill u now if u dont drop ammo" so far i haven't had to tk anybody so it seems to work.

What pisses me off is when i have 0 ammo and am spamming V 4 and prox chat, and the engineer I finally run across sees im missing 4 bars of health so he reps me up and then runs away. Ammo always takes precedence over repairs. Give me the ammo to protect myself and i'm fine bc i can regenerate

I believe you can cert for the magazine size, at one point in time it was bugged, I was looking to upgrade the magazine size for my nebulas and it said, for 500 certs I could get 6 more rounds added to my magazine, I was like WTF LOL, but i later found out it was a bug and that it should have said 50% more ammo. I hope I get it one day

Actually, ps1 maxes had no reload come to think of it? I can't remember.

In any case, the NC max is the absolute worse. Shoot a few times then reload, it's really not fun. I can understand balance issues, but up magazine size, increase ROF, LOWER damage and increase base ammo.

Even certed magazine size seems paltry to me. The certed amount should be the base amount IMO.
