I'm a newish player, started playing around Uprising 1.2. I'm sure most people on the forums would consider me a "newberry" and I have a what I consider to be a decent amount SP saved up. So far I have 3m spent and I have 1.4m unspent. I've been looking to spec into Minmatar assaults for flexibility...that and Minmatar pride from playing EVE. I'm not a big Caldari fan, but I've recently been compromising that belief for the sake of survivability lately, but I digress.
Since the recent patch my teams seem to be getting dominated. Typically due to an organized corp/squad with an active scanner on the opposing team. Based on the recent changes would it be better for me to go the Minmatar Logi so I can better field an active scanner for my team? Side note question: Are active scanners scanning non-deployable spawn locations or invisible (just spawned) players? I had a few instances where I spawned in w/ bullets bouncing off my head.
Is it worth specing into Minmatar Logi for active scanning? Is it feasible to run and Assault suit with one or are the fitting reqs too high to allow a decent tank?
Maybe the better question for you veterans out there is: Do you think the reliance on active scanners is going to stay the way it is, or do you think our passive scanning is going to get buffed soon? I'm thinking it has to...
Probably, I'm overthinking it and should just spec the way I was leaning... just looking for some advice/thoughts. The recent changes have buffed organized squads more than anything, and I am getting tired of being pubstomped by squads of organized guys in proto suits.
Also, are there any plans for an EFT style program that have been mentioned? Or API keys for DUST? I haven't seen anything mentioned lately.
Sorry for all the questions/tangents. Thanks for the help in advance! |

I haven't spent much time or SP in the assault suit because the basic frames are so close in capability. See if you can make the basic work and then decide on your path from there.
Thanks. I didn't realize the basic suits had the same fittings/specs, other than the bonuses and the cost. |

Wow. Thanks everyone. I've invested into assault 3 for now and spent the rest on core fittings and weapon upgrades 1-5. So far I've been loving it. I have been running into ammo issues, but there are worse problems to have. If I had the core skills in place, or the sp I probably would have gone proto logi, but that's a ways out before my skills can support it.
My standard fit before was using the caldari assault bpo. This is a huge upgrade to that. Primarily due to being able to dual tank, fit a dmg mod, and the active scanner. And it's still speedier than cal assault even with plates.
Thanks again |
