Belter SF ammo
Belter SF has 400 ammo, while Belter Adv SF has 200 ammo. My experience has been that gats are viable on SF, but not on Adv SF. Being able to shoot without depleting your energy is nice, although it's not always the best choice of weapon. Still, I'd rather use gat3 than sniper1. I recommend increasing Adv SF ammo to 400. I think this is a fairly minor perk.

You found a logic error, which nobody noticed for 7+ years.

...so you're arguing to nerf the basic SFs to 200 ammo, then?

If you have Belter adv sfs, then you really don't need the increased ammo. Why? Because any faction vs Belter adv tac is pretty much dead. Even Bios. Unless the other team constantly drops pulse probes, has gunships, and "capable" pilots (trust me there's a shortage on those) then SBs combined w/ SF nans are un-$#@!ing-stoppable because not only do they boost but they're damn tough.

The issue isn't so much "perking" as it is "making it make sense". Adv shouldn't mean downgrading. Switching to 200 ammo for basic SF, or raising to 400 ammo for Adv would both make sense (or heck, even 200 for basic and 400 for adv would make sense)
I too love trading snipers/ults for gats in belter stealths (exception - when actively miner hunting/etc), the extra energy is nice to keep cloak locked on for a better survival/hiding rate.

"Make sense"?
THIS. IS. ALLEGIANCE.

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.
