I imagine they will, MECs in Long War had a lot of work done on them. Just give it time.

I do kinda hope that they stop at a single tree though, bolstered with interchangeable equipment that provide perks and such like. MECs had 8 classes corresponding to each of the 8 soldier classes in Long War, and I think that might be too much here. As much as I like Sparks, I don't want to see them made so central to the game. I like having them as one class among many, so I don't feel obligated to use them every mission.

Fair enough, also, as it is I can never decide which one(or 2) of the new 'ranger' classes to bring to a mission anyway, it'd be even harder if i was still stuck using the base 6 max soldiers, as is sparks feel....worth less, and i'd rather bring 1 of every OTHER class atm....which saddens me, because sparks are fun, and work decently compared to the base classes, not so much with the LW takes on them

hey Kontaro ,have you checked - Metal Over Flesh: Upgradeable SPARKs https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/comments/720053228

It helps out Sparks a lot ,I can upgrade anything on him (even his gun if I rly want to)
For now this would be an option to boost your Sparky and make him more viable. Esp later on

No, I haven't checked that out yet, I do have the moddable dlc weapons mod tho, so that could cause some conflict, that said, I'll take a look, and see if it looks interesting.

Well, sorry if I'm Necroing this discussion, but it's been ages without word. I did try Metal over Flesh, and while interesting.....doesn't help much.... it's more of a supply sink, and still leaves a Spark as feeling less then a Soldier....and once they get that final rank, it'll bug me after every mission as Perk pack added a last rank to the new classes, but not to the spark, so it gets enough xp to get to the spark equivilant of Brigadeer.....and has nothing to select, so it'll keep telling me it has a promotion after every mission.

So any word on if or when some work will be put into Sparks? I like the idea of them getting most of the abilities through perks, giving us more choices and decisions, other than MOF's 'buncha GTS stuff to research that'll apply to all sparks.'

*bump*
I would really love to see Spark getting the perks as well.
This would probably need to be a new LW mod though, because you can't change it mid-game. @LongWar developers: is this planned for?

Might be added in their Long war 2 mod thay they got planned

Wanted to say I too get the endless spark promote issue and finally it clicked that I see only 2 columns but shoved over as if there should be 3.
