Skill and Affinity Suggestion

[Lander1]

It would be better if the Skills were a non-interactive stat page that showed the levelling up of all of the pilots skills and abilities as they perform various actions and use various weapons and tactics on the Battlefield.

The Affinity should be a list of the Top 5 to 7 skill types used by that pilot and should be Dynamic.. changing with the Pilot's most used tactics and role. The Pilot should start with only a few affinity slots and unlock them as they progress from recruit to Elite. Each Affinity slot should grant the skill buff... making the Buffs Dynamic and applied according to the most repeated Pilot actions.

EG: if you use ECM allot you will gain the ECM Buff.. If you use Jump Jets allot you will gain a Jump Jet Buff. If you Melee alot you will gain a Melee Buff.. If a new skill gets used more it might push less used skills off the Affinity list.

Any Thoughts?

I like this idea a lot

One problem is that you'd wind up with a bunch of useless XP garnered while running around in ♥♥♥♥ mechs, using ♥♥♥♥ weapons.

YUP I vote for that, it would make sense. Currently I do not want to restart, but my team is borked.

Yes this is a much better way of doing it. Make it like Morrowind, you gain experience in something by doing it, not just clicking on an option such as missile range when haven't even used missiles. The current choices are also bizarre mixtures, and while having evasion for everyone makes sense why melee? The Clans looked down on melee.
