It's only logical with all these big powerful mechs that there is a lighter support mech to support the team!
Wouldn't it be a good idea for a support class_ they could repair other mechs with there multiple on board repair bots faster than the 1 repair bot you get and repair 2 mechs at almost the same time at the rate of the repair bot you get (just a little faster) and anymore than 2 it gets slower to repair all of them.
For weapons, they could use the sub machine gun assault rifle and special weapon could be perhaps a type of temporary shield that could protect others_ Work with me here guys! We could use a few more classes after all!

Yeah, good idea.
We are already thinking about it, but there was no time to write.

Here is an example from another game, already closed: Exteel Online.
There were no classes and subclasses of mechs, as such.
But u could change the role of ur mech on the battlefield using sets of armor and various weapons.
Well, for example, there was a set for the full support mech, with its own set of armor and guns that could repair allies.


It would be great if in Hawken you could make a robot that specializes only in this.
Only it must be done wisely to avoid imbalance.

like a medic from team fortress. might work.

On the other hand, not many people enjoy playing a medic class, so it need to be attractive enough for people to use it.  What if having an engineer in your team would became  a part of the metagame, like the support position in League of Legends, or a medic in Team Fortress_ Is this a desirable situation for Hawken_
