Every time I roll out my Taran Fujin in Beacon Rush, my so called 「slow」 teammates flock to me like dogs from left to right to front to rear and it's a wall of 5 of my teammates circling my Taran Fujin when the energy shield is up and I cannot freaking fire or see what the hell is going on due to the smoke from weapons.
It's bloody annoying as hell, the 2 monkeys hiding behind the 3 monkeys in front are not contributing ?poo-poo? and the 3 in-front are volunteer meatshields blocking my line of fire. They need to make the shield radius smaller so it only protects the user only.
Some of them don't get protection while they're inside the energy shield radius, because their outer frames are still outside the energy shields surface. Fat bots like Leo, Natasha and Griffin still get damaged so why even bother?
I don't want to sell my lv8 Fujin yet, it's my currently strongest bot with lv8 tarans. Maybe I will replace it with Bulgasari soon so these idiots won't flock to me like sheep.

Don't sell the Fujin. I don't run mine anymore, but it's not because I have the same problem as you. Me, I just suck at timing the shield to catch fire.
What I would do in your situation is to simply wait it out. The blues in front will eventually die, and should take out some bots with them, or at the very least whittle down their health. Once your Ancile fails, or they all die, you can open up with your Tarans while moving backwards or sideways.
"While you are busy stalking someone, someone ELSE is busy stalking YOU!"
"Have you noticed how many people are named Ron these days? Everywhere I look, I see more Rons!"
Was trying to defend a beacon in dreadnought and the enemy was pushing through centre beacon, while my team mates was spawning from the left beacon and they all flocked to my Taran Fujin for mobile cover.
Yes I could've been a selfish A-hole to turn off the energy shield and let my teammates die :P. But we were winning.

It's staying in my hanger until I find something better, I got Bulgasari from event and I replaced it with my Thunder/Pinata Natasha.
My hanger is made up of medium bots only:
3 Tulumbas Fujin
3 Orkan/Storm Doc
3 Taran Bulgasari
2 Shocktrain/Spiral Hover
Also Bulgasari was worth the grind and it's a blast to pilot a dash bot :D.
Some might be trying to get around your legs but you planted yourself right in the middle of the platform on yam :P
Nope, I was there first, engaging 2 Natashas and a Leo.
My teammates noticed so they started to spawn behind the beacon I was defending, came to help me plus they were making use of my energy shield as mobile cover and they literally face hugged me for protection.

It's part of your job. If you dont like being a team player, stop playing team oriented games. Nothing worse than a selfish ancile pilot.
For those who don't build must burn The Immovable Stone in your World of Weak "According to our data, players are enjoying the new feature too much, without paying enough for it" Sure, titans ruin it, but they ruined everything...

Yeah alright good point, I was on kill tasks and my teammates delayed that so I got frustrated.
There is no way to communicate with your team in this game, so it makes things tricky. like telling them to push one way or focus fire.
I get it, kill tasks can be excruciating, but that's a separate issue from proper ancile use.

To me, what I like about anciles is that you CAN protect your team mates.
Don't you just feel a wave of affection when a random stranger with an ancile runs in and saves your life from a rocket barrage?
Maybe in higher leagues, where people know what teamwork is about or what they're doing.
I'm currently in S2, going up slowly to G3, progression is slow because of tankers trying to complete the event tasks.
My Fujin's energy shield makes Zenit/Noricum Natasha snipers useless, so my teammates can get some cover while defending the centre beacon on maps like Yamantau or Canyon.
