On single-exos

<!--sizeo:2--><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Single exos just seem pointless to me - rarely seen because most wait for duals and no longer seem viable when duals and all the other late-stage marine stuff is available. Compare it to aliens - Fades very much retain there viability.

My suggestion is to change single exos to give it a slightly different playstyle - either my making them more mobile with jetpacks (giving a halfway point between jetpack marines and duals) or change the weapon to grenade launcher - making them still usable late into the game but not ridiculous considering how they would be shut down by whips.<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

exos in general are pointless, don't get them, jetpacks are theoretically more useful, and in practice, more useful.

So you agree something needs to be done then to make them more of a viable choice.

You are welcome.

Making one handed exo faster and more agile than it's minigun counterpart would be great.

Make the fist actually do some serious damage. Right now, it can't even kill a skulk in one hit. It should obliterate a skulk in one hit. I think it might do 60 damage, should do at least 100 damage, if not more.

I like this idea. The single exo ought to have <i>some</i> value in it.

I always thought the point of the hand was to allow the exo to build and weld. Even support other dual exos.

It seemed so intuitive and obvious to me that the first time I got a single gun exo I was trying to build things with it and baffled that I could not.

To me the obvious use of the hand would be to let the damn thing use it as a hand...as much fun as punching aliens is, it’s nothing but a silly gimmick if that’s all the hand does.
