* Removed rotation modifier on heavy frames - all frames can now rotate at the same speed

* Adjusted Armor Plate attributes - HP bonus of 85/110/135 (Basic/Enhanced/Complex) and speed penalties of 2%/3%/5% (with full skill bonuses this equates to 93.5/121/148.5)

* Adjusted Ferroscale Plate attributes - HP bonus of 35/50/75 (with full skill bonuses this equates to 38.5/55/82.5)

* Adjusted Reactive Plate attributes - HP bonus of 25/40/60 and speed penalties of 0%/1%/1% (with full skill bonuses this equates to 27.5/44/66)

* All handheld weapon reload skills now have a cost multiplier of x3 (down from x6) and their skill book ISK price reduced to 203,000 from 774,000

* All heavy weapon reload skills now provide a 5% bonus, up from 3%

* The Forge Gun, Mass Driver, Swarm Launcher, and Plasma Cannon ammo skills now provide 1 extra unit of ammo for each level of the skill (for a maximum of 5) instead of a % bonus per level

* The HMG Operation skill bonus has been changed from reducing heat build-up to reducing recoil by 5% per level

* Overhauled, retuned and reactivated aim assists for the control pad

* Fixed a bug that was making dropsuit strafe speeds too fast

I know some of these things affect other roles, but I believe they are huge improvements for Heavies as well. The biggest improvement is the turn speed buff. It will make HMG wielding heavies the CQC beasts they should be.

The Forge Gun one is actually a nerf to charging time, which I can live with. Other than that yeah, this Update excites me.

I want to see how the HMG will act with the skill change, I'm kinda on the fence about that one. It will take a day or so to adjust to the turn speed, but once you get used to it, your scores should dramatically increase.

All heavies had less turn speed than other suits.
