I disagree, this makes sidearms pointless which would literally eliminate any argument against bringing a MD every round. And there is something glorious about having your gun swept out of your hand, taking out a pistol, having it swept out of your hand, taking out a knife, having it swept out of your hand and then finally hitting the Queen with an e-tool. It doesn't achieve anything, but it feels good.
A lot of attachments are already rather in the camp of sidegrades, but if they're cosmetic, they're pointless, the way rescueing a survivor is pointless. I don't really see what the point is in functionally removing every single non-utility attachment, I don't see what that really improves...
A decent idea. This has two issues:
Certain other roles can't really go faster so marines will have even more time to sit on their thumbs and wait for briefing.
More workload for the Devs who already have a full to-do list.
