The obvious solution is to get to rank 25 and use it yourself. On larger maps, I still prefer the EE-3. Its damage is pretty high, and if you click fire rapidly, it can fire off a lot of bursts very fast. If you get the timing on cooling flushes right, it's awesome.
On another note, the personal shield has given me some hilarious plays. You can still melee with it up, so I turned it on and ran up to a group of rebels. Managed to beat three of them down before I got blew up.
The bowcaster is also pretty broken. I use it almost invariably, and it's basically 1-2 automatic kills if you jetpack in from above. The splash damage needs nerfing. In its current state, I live in fear for when other players reach rank 32.
Eh, It'l be a while before I reach 25, the other big frustration is using personal shield for pod capture, which i find rediculous
