An idea for the mercs and their former classes

How about, the guys who are dedicated to an objective get this as a passive ability. While others need to do it actively.
With active I mean the current way, you need to hold mouse1 or F, to repair/arm/disarm/hack something.
And with passive I mean for example the Recon type, could connect his pda to hack, and then he needs to stay in range, so his usb cable does not get disconnected - but otherwise he can shoot, while he’s pda is hacking.

Same for arm/disarm. And for the repair, dunno either :mad: - some modern repair bot on a cable

This might make the objective completely secured by the attacking team and would dissolve a bit the strategy of having ppl defend choke points to the obj, so that one or two team-mates can wrench away there undisturbed.

Plus, hacking is an artform, you need ur cmd-line skillz right on edge, can’t rely on USB cables. What if the CDA consoles were subcontracted to Sony? They’d have a proprietary port then, no usb for you! xD

If this can be prototyped fast with a proximity trigger or smth, I don’ mind giving a try, but it’s a long shot.
