[WOTC] Modern Engineer Class
The Engineer is a close range Hacking class with Robotics support that carries Bullpup and Arc Thrower. The Engineer needs to get in close to get the job done.
As part of the class design, the Engineer does not have a gremlin to assist with hacking. They can use their Arc Thrower to hack enemy robots from a distance but need to interact with objectives by hand. They can also be built into a combat role that specialise in dealing with robotic enemies or supporting allied robots.
The class is made with a modern themed playthrough in mind, but of course is not limited to. It is balanced around a large varied squad against lots of enemies and making meaningful choices when selecting abilities, with different viable sub-roles within the class.
By default random bonus AWC abilities are disabled. The reasoning is that there is no need for it because there are enough options in the ability tree and the class has everything it needs to fill the role. Other roles are intended to be filled by other classes. AWC can of course be re-enabled through the config but there is no support to prevent duplicate/redundant abilities as is.
The Engineer has three ability trees: Preservation, Robotics & Field Engineer. The class rely on abilities and perks from other mods.
Updated a small rework of the class to better fit with the theme, focusing on supporting allied robots like the SHIV and SPARK. Now has Alpha115’s Support Class as a requirement. As always doesn’t conflict and can be used together. Changes are detailed in the Change Notes and only affect new promoted soldiers.
