Proficiency Plugin : Field Support Officer

Description
This class is built to fill a different kind of support role for the Proficiency suite of classes. It focuses heavily on being a Force Multiplier. It is inspired by, and builds on, Iridar's Keeper class, and also shiremct's unreleased Supply Officer, and also takes on the Proficiency Marksman's role of Spotter/Holotargeter.

"Field Support officers are experts in the field of battlefield support. They bolster their allies and direct fire towards more vulnerable enemies. They pair either an Assault Rifle or Vektor Rifle with the Holotargeter."

IMPORTANT NOTE
The Field Support has a reduced spawn weight for Rookie Promotions. However, a config has been added so Rescue Resistance Leader mod chain can award Field Supports, up to a max of 2 in the barracks.
This mod also includes a configuration file that means when Rescued, Denmother will be a Field Support class rather than her default Keeper class. This means the Keeper's GTS perk will be unusable. If you want Denmother to still be a Keeper, please delete this config.



Proficiency: Tactical Flexibility

Level I - Gained at Squaddie (1)
  • Supply Run - Using Resupply Ammo or Bandage Throw on an ally grants a movement only action.

Level II - Gained at Sergeant (3)
  • Adrenaline Rush - Activate to gain an additional non-movement action (useable even after dashing) at cost of a -25% damage penalty for the rest of the turn. (Think Run N Gun with a damage penalty)
  • Low Profile - The soldier treats low cover as high cover.

Level III - Gained at Major (6)
  • Phase - Grants the Shadowstep and Reposition Abilities
  • Sprint - Activate to gain an additional movement-only action point. Free action with 4 turn cooldown.

New Custom perks
  • Decoy - Grants a free Mimic Beacon.

New Localisation
  • Reposition Ally - this is Denmother's Reposition ability (that pulls allies with the grapple gun). I have altered it's localisation slightly so as to prevent confusion with the base Reposition ability provided by Proficiency Pack, as used in Tactical Flexibility tier 3.

Class Trees
  • Overwatch - Focuses on making the Field Support an expert at Overwatch.
  • Support - Focuses on active support skills.
  • Spotter - Focuses on marking enemies through use of the Holotargeter or Battlescanners.

@circle of psi no idea I pull the perk directly from Rescue Denmother so best to ask there

It's not groundbreaking, just a UI glitch but what causes the "Resupply Ammo" icon to have a ? rather then the actual Icon itself, sometimes I get that, even with all locked perks shown

@Kinsect the Field Support Officer has abismal aim increase. For the first few levels it's zero.
MrCloista  [author] 12 Mar, 2023 @ 5:00pm 
@Kinsect this class has its own stat increases. Its not 'Keeper but proficiency' it's it's own class based on the style of the Keeper.
Kinsect 12 Mar, 2023 @ 12:34pm 
what happened to the keepers aim increase?
Melan 7 Oct, 2022 @ 4:31am 
What I meant was this. The cool thing with the Keeper's Resupply Ammo was, that if you had for instance only one Bluescreen ammo, you could give it to the Keeper. Then with the Resupply Ammo perk, you could literally give Bluescreen ammo to the whole squad during the mission.

But after thinking some more on it myself. I think the perk will just work, as if you don't have any special ammo equipped when. Resupply Ammo will just reload the weapon with it's equipped ammo mod.
Still a very useful perk, and to honest probably more balanced that way.

It's the same perk as used by the Keeper.
Melan 6 Oct, 2022 @ 1:53pm 
How does Resupply Ammo work if using Ammo as Weapon mods?
I have used mods that turned ammo into mods in the past, but after starting using the Keeper class I stopped. Was afraid of getting bugs.
