>looses hands/legs in one shot from railgun snipers
This doesn't match my experience but even then hitting a fast moving hopper's tiny arms in mid air with a railgun is a very high skill demand.
>more than one skyjacker
That's no small cost to counter a single hopper. Two players giving up their XL slots or one player giving up the ability to deal any damage to ground targets. Skyjacker also uses a ton of heat so an overhaul has to hit all of their double shots to kill them without overheating first.
>sustained minigun fire
This is the counter to them and more viable for general use than Skyjacker.
