Hi. I've wondered about the possibility of giving the infiltrator a certable flare gun. It would take the place of the IFF device, and could be certed for different colours, flare duration and height, ect. Flares could be useful at night-time, and also allow greater co-ordination. Giving them to the infiltrator would give an additional role, and combine well with the cloak (imagine sneaking past a fight to illuminate an enemy base, allowing liberators and ESFs to target infantry in the dark. What do you think of this idea?
Because of the ability to communicate with voice and text chat, flares would play a much less significant role in communication than they would have in the real world. It is a cool concept that deserves some thought, and some more "third weapon" option would be excellent. I am a big fan of the "Anti Air Flare". This is a single shot pistol like contraption that launches a smoke-trailed firework like projectile that bursts into a streaming cacophony of plasma after their fuse expires. They would be employed with the specific intent of damaging air vehicles. A temporary spark of luminosity would be desirable as well. To avoid hand to land shots (against infantry and tanks) the projectile would intelligently detect air vehicles (why not? sci-fi!) or open air. if neither were detected the projectile would "fizzle" and dud. It would give infiltrators that additional role you were going for.
