So, after reading about the Raider dropsuit I became ecstatic. I thought to myself: "Sweet, it'll be like the Dragonfly with a different color pallete. I'm game for that."
Then I scour the PSN Store looking for the pack, couldn't find it - went in game and saw this lovable little thing in the in-game market under Militia Gear.
Then realized the rather irritating truth. It's a vastly cheaper 'Neo' Scout Type-I. Same color scheme and everything.Same exact fittings and the like.
Hold up.....
I remember seeing this on the Eve Online database with all of the other named variants of dropsuits, like the Atlas and Titan Heavy dropsuits... That can't be right...
So I look up the description and it says: "The Raider fit is designed for clandestine work deep in enemy territory. Raiders pave the way for breach maneuvers by placing drop uplinks in high-value areas."
Well, how the hell does it do that when it literally has -no visible benefit- over the Standard variant? I mean, in reality it really is just a Standard dropsuit that's really cheap and colored the same as the 'Neo', effectively making the 'Neo' rather.. useless.
So with that in mind I'm honestly terrified that the upcoming dropsuits (like the Atlas/Titan Heavy or the Shock/Spectre Assault Dropsuit) are literally just 'themes' for the packs with absolutely no change in their stats/fitting layouts. Just a different description and the colors reversed from their typical pallete. |

This is all well and good for newbros, but pretty useless for vets. (No wonder they slow the community's SP progression with caps; they're still working on all the low end gear and NPE.)
Back to waiting for racial variants, I guess.
It's incredibly disappointing. I was looking forward to using a Atlas heavy as a very slow but powerful squad leader; sacrificing the heavy weapon for an equipment slot or something. |

Yeah, so checking up with the Eve Online market I found the Shock Assault, Hunter Scout and Mauler Heavy under the Militia Dropsuits tab.
I can safely say that they are probably like the Raider and just pre-fit starter suits...
Expectations? DESTROYED. |

I say we should make it known what we want, and be as vocal as possible about it.

Like u skill into the main dropsuit then u can choose a sub suit u want to skill into but if this is how it is with them all being militia i don't like it.
That's what we all thought because of the thing in the description on Dropsuit Command: "lvl 5 unlocks dropsuit specialization" but apparently that was just fancy wording for the Vk.0 and Vk.1 suits.
I'm honestly really discouraged with the way this has turned out as I was -ECSTATIC- about having varying dropsuit capabilities from the ones we currently have. A heavy that can't use heavy weapons but has an equipment slot would make an -AMAZING- squad leader; one that I feel could have rivaled the Crusader suit. |
