Ok so... Bonus against structures for punch attack? 100%? Three hits for factory? I question it's sense, and even if then I would lower it.
About pistol shoot... Do we necessarly need it? Well guess we could allow it.
About the pawn dog - you want it to be buildable and summonable? With vanishing? Then both would have it, I doubt sense of having a vanishing unit buildable in barracks. About the vanishing... 4 turns?
Also how about we half the damage and add one more action? I would want it for all melee units. This way they will take more damage from counters of the enemy (well fighting in melee when enemy can shoot...), and also will be worse vs armored enemies. Tho it will be able to finish more units at once. We will give the pistol 1 turn cooldown so it can be used only once per turn.

Agreed with all points on scout.
I kinda liked that halve on its dmg to add another action.

For the dog, i prefer it just spawnable and with vanish, like wolfs on aof... The buildable would be for the radar version with transformation, but since i lost the img, i'm not in mood and quite lazy to make another again.

Scout description:

If a soldier became "blind" for just a second in the frontline, that is just time enough for him to die... This AMP suit was developed to perform both scout and operative comunications in the field, scouting, spotting and designing targets, this suit is a comunications node to allow infantry to receive superior orders even under heavy enemy countermeasures or on the worst weather enviroements in the frontline. But due it's lack of ofensive and defensive capabilities to allow it to use the sensitive scanners, P.A.W.N. drones are designed to assist scouts in the field.


Pawn description:

P.A.W.N. stands for "Personal Armored Walking Nodule", it is a prototype of walking drone designed to support scouting, extend Goliath scout's comunications capability and provide minor defensive support to them.

How about instead of bite the dog carries a small rotating gun on top of its back that is same as conventional infantry guns

And may b pistol shoot should have 1 range, if its ability its already quite powerful as enemy can't counter attack

Or may b we can make pistol standard weapon with 1 action while punch is ability with low damage but high bonus against buildings and armored units (bonus should depend on how many punches u think it would logically need to destroy its target )

Or no need for punches, instead some kinds of echo scan ability with cool down that gives higher sight for some turns as well as reveal invisible units

Since Midonik marked as implemented, i guess we should test them firstly, to see how they are looking in game, then we could make the necessary changes... I guess @Midonik could update the dev version already so we can be aware of what do we have now.

I could, but I won't be able to fix any eventual bugs till Easter, you can choose if you want it now or to wait.
Samuelch voted to wait, I don't care.
