I think you just made a convincing argument for tiercide

well they need to be more then the passive skill books because that's not enough for sure Minimatar Pilot skill could be skipped by just speccing into ADS (innless you fly gunner drop ships but even then...) and Gallante only helps for a HP stacker, say 4500 shield HP you only get 250HP more, that's crap. and the vehicle module recharge rate is OP and needs/needed a nerf, honestly they could have switched the skill focuse, like +2% of vehicle module recharge rate per lv and 5% to armor and shield efficiency per lv (turret damage for Minimatar) so that HP stacker python would have 881>1101 armor and 4200>5250 shields.

With the amount the pilot suit SP costs... Anything below 7% would be disappointing.

GOD does this game need tiericide.

We already have no tiers for vehicles, so that's a start. We just need to extend that to suits and we might actually have a prayer of balancing this game.

STD will have no low or high slots and a side arm.

ADV will have a low or high depending which race and also a side arm.

PRO will have 1 high, 1 low an d a light weapon slot.

Besides the racial bonuses, they may allow for some other bonuses we have no idea about.

Its worth to go to proto so you can get the complete bonus for your vehicles(though I think the bonuses should be different depending which one your in)

It's kinda crappy when you think about all the sp needed though, it means that vehicle users will have to max out 2 different sets of skill trees to stay competitive, while infantry only need to do one. This will utterly kill any chance of a consistent influx of vehicle users, the sp sink this will be is ridiculous, as bad as its going to be for me to have to grind my way to proto in that thing it's going to be no where near as bad as new vehicle users have it. They'll have to choose between getting a pilot suit and a poor vehicle or getting a good vehicle and a poor or no pilot dropship, depending on the bonus either one will cripple them. The more I think about it the more pilot dropships combined with the current tier system seem like a really bad idea.

Sorry to be the noob here, but what is tiercide?

The removal of the ADV and PRO levels (aka tiers) of suits/equipment.

I would think they should have a type of suit for each vehicle class and adjust the bonuses based on it's racial variant as well as vehicle type.. a flight suit for aerial vehicles, a HAV suit, and a LAV suit (and so on as vehicles are released).

STD will have no low or high slots and a side arm.

ADV will have a low or high depending which race and also a side arm.

PRO will have 1 high, 1 low an d a light weapon slot.

+1 to tiercide.

First of all, fixing my post was splitting hairs on the microscopic level

Secondly, my pointless suggestion is exactly what you clumsily describe in your post declaring my post fixed.

lolz. good job!

1: Sounds like that hurts like hell

2: You said that there should be a pilot suit for every vehicle, I said that there should be a tiercide, then a suit made for every role, such as Medium that has a ROF increase for X weapon type, or a light frame that gets a higher optimal range for X weapon type. You must have read it wrong.

what's the point on have slots or not?you will use the suit inside a vehicle.
people will reach level 5 to gain access to the full bonus and then use the standard suit if AoE modules will not come out in tandem with the pilot suits.
The only thing you will need is an equipment slot with a repper for the emergency.

a light variant every vehicle class... LAV, HAV, Aerial (or however that shakes out).

The AoE modules are for the Crusader suit, and only affects dropsuits, so your point? Like people has said, there's rumors about the suits getting modules that can affect the vehicle. Without a proper layout, those will be ineffective.

Like I said, what's the point when They'll all do the same thing?
