MACS in squads

<div class="IPBDescription">No armor drops!</div>

I mentioned in another post that I fundamentally do not agree with with med-packs reviving armor, it is rediculous.
There are also (older) threads complaining about MACS repair ability.

I believe that (apart from restoration at an armory) MAC is required to fix armor. Either by commander manually adding the command to a MAC to "weld target 'soldier'", or MAC will automatically weld soldiers placed in the same squad.

Furthermore, no 2 MAC/drifter can occupy the same space. (i.e. no overlap of NPC)

This might just be a glitch though.

It reminds me of when SVC/Probe/*zergthing* are all overlap on *Fastestmap* in starcraft;

I suggests that there be implemented something like a reverse polariity so that when a MAC is drawn to near another mac it is forced away. And the opposite of the drifter..
e.g;
<b>~</b> Only 2-3 MACS able to build/repair object, 4 if it's CC. If an extra MAC is sent in to assist, all MAC on the job are knocked away to become idle.
<b>~</b> A drifter moves to close to another drifter it drags (a little bit) but you cannot build item with drifter until it is out of drag with second drifter.

If MAC could be assigned to squads, marines could also use their 'speak' function to manually command them from the ground.
