Additionally, stun reductions for nukies would be nice, though not too much, since that's really all the crew has at their disposal until they stun a nukie and get their shit.
With the 'bard' type class, maybe they're just a Wizard's Federation wizard with a Syndicate contract, and they get a few spells to their disposal - not wizard spells, but bardic spells. AoE spells like battle rallying, stun removing, and bullet warding; directed spells like Healing Hands (minor healing, should not out-do the combat medic), Thunderblast (knocks a single person back), etc.. Should be a weak target but a formidable one.
I think this is a great idea. I think it would also help to make nukies more enjoyable for players who don't love combat or consider themselves particularly robust, as their focus would become supporting the other team members.
It'd also make it more interesting for the crew - they'd need to focus on the support, or risk tougher nukies who could shake off more attacks.
