well i cant fight TK while kneeling or prone...how about the other melee classes?

Let's be honest here. Melee classes require extensive use of their bodies, Ranged professions do not. Of course you can't kick on your knees, and swinging a polearm would be pretty inaccurate (and unbalancing equilibrium-wise) kneeling as well.

A ranged profession is able to "run and gun". Soldiers don't always stop moving when they fire their sidearm. However, run-and-gunning should make you take an incredible accuracy hit, based on the type/size of firearm you're using.

that really wasn't what i was saying.i was just proving the point that certain moves in game require you to be in a certain posture.

correct me if im wrong, but rifleman receive a +10 acc while moving bonus. eitheracc while move skill stacks with normal acc or enhances it. this is whythe two parts of riflemancombine to makehigh speed, high dmg, high acc to a unhealable pool.

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but please consider making the shots listed below contingent on a kneeling or prone posture. This would allow the rifleman to still be the two part profession of heavygunner & sniper. Currently in game the sniper acc is spilling over to the heavygunner speed. This allows a rifleman to remain moving with a highly accurate mind pool shot. I believe changing these shots to posture specific will alleviate this inbalance.

Not a bad idea (Kneeling to fire specific shots), but I would definatly consider this for the combat ballance not for right now.

Its not cool when rifleman have to sit on there ass while everyone else does dances around them, thus, like I said, it would be better implamented in the combat ballance where things can be looked at on a wide scale.

It's "not cool" when I'm trying to run from a Rifleman because they have on 90% armor with 46+60% resists to my only viable weapon (AP0 Geo Blaster) and therefore can't do anything to dent them, so I make a run for it, and while burst-running, they are still hitting me with accurate headshots from all ranges.
