1. An easy fix to shield and armor disparity - in General Discussions [original thread]
Essentially what you have rediscovered here is something that has long been known in EVE: For PvP (which is all we have, of course) gank and buffer tank trumps regeneration every time. The average engagement is too short for regeneration to have ...

3. Why are all minmatar suits losing their base armor rep rate in 1.8? - in General Discussions [original thread]
I see a reason why the Minmatar are having problems. As several have pointed out, the strength of the Minmatar lies in speed, which is not enough of an advantage given the low TTK we have right now, and high damage weapons, which any other race ca...

4. 1.8 confirmed for March. - in General Discussions [original thread]
Although I realize that an FPS is fundamentally different from Spreadsheets in Space, I remember when you would see "EVE is dying" all the time on the forums. Yet EVE is still around and still growing year after year. I have faith in CCP to eventu...

5. nothing free, still 4500 people logged in on sat - in General Discussions [original thread]
I don't know if the same will hold true of Dust, but one of the things I have found with EVE Online is that players leave for awhile and then come back. The fact that Dust will change over time, new things will be added, etc. gives a powerful ince...

6. a consern for cloaks. - in General Discussions [original thread]
It has already been stated that crosshairs will still go red on a cloaked target.

7. Proving how old your Toon is - in General Discussions [original thread]
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=203355#post203355 This is the oldest post I could find. I was in only a month or two after the closed beta opened. I think I was in the second or third set of EVE player codes. I remember th...

8. Welcome to a New Era - in General Discussions [original thread]
Forge guns are modified mining lasers. So, technically they are ORE tech, and not from any of the four player races.

9. New Blog: Keeping the Sniper Relevant - in General Discussions [original thread]
Quote: Intelligent response. I suggested bullet drop and target leading because I feel that sniping should be more rewarding for people who can use the weapon skilfully, and that provides a mechanic for them to do so. Although the bullets may...

10. Knifing a tank - in General Discussions [original thread]
Talking about while the reppers/boosters are running is a different set of numbers, and they can be figured into EHP. However, an active tank also has a DPS tank. If, for instance, a tank has a 100DPS tank (just making up numbers...I have no idea ...

11. cloak scout only? - in General Discussions [original thread]
One option for balancing: (has been touched on in previous posts) - Two versions of cloak. One that anything can use, but restricts or disallows movement. Eve uses a "targeting delay", and I think that could be used in DUST as well, perhaps sever...

12. Knifing a tank - in General Discussions [original thread]
From a game balance perspective, knifing a tank probably isn't balanced. From a "realistic" perspective, an expertly wielded plasma blade ought to be able to cut something vital if you knew exactly where to strike...which shouldn't be too hard to ...

13. Being a scout - in General Discussions [original thread]
I have gotten reasonably decent with the sniper rifle. Much of the challenge is finding a spot that is close enough to somewhere useful to be inside draw distance, but hard to hunt down with a dropship.

15. Thought's On Killing Dropships. - in General Discussions [original thread]
Hmm...I agree that overkill on dropships for instant explosion ought to be a little bit easier to achieve. A forge gun, particularly a higher damage one firing into a dropship that is, say in the last 25% of armor or so (depends on how much armor ...

16. bunny hopping, scout dropsuits, smgs, and hmgs - in General Discussions [original thread]
Also, scout suit without stamina skills or modules can jump three times, I believe, maybe four, before his stamina is gone. At that point, he can no longer jump or sprint. A squishy scout suit with no stamina tends to be a dead scout suit.

17. KDR Why does it matter? - in General Discussions [original thread]
In my opinion, KDR can be an important stat. If you are trying to recruit someone to wear Assault suits and run with an AR and kill stuff for you, then KDR can be somewhat important for that type of recruiting. If you are looking for a logi to kee...

18. Permanent Guns/Dropsuits - in General Discussions [original thread]
The Militia gear is permanant, as are the dropsuits from the merc pack and the participation suits we are supposed to get sometime in August. I don't know of any guns besides the Militia ones that are permanant. Replacement costs are intended to b...

20. KillCam solution - in General Discussions [original thread]
They have said that you will be able to view a battle report that shows the whole match play out on the map. Not quite the same as being able to view in from an "in game" perspective on the ground, but still very informative. On the other hand, al...
