Militia

---

The Militia Dropsuits should be cheap and given out as free BPOGÇÖs to new players who choose the appropriate Faction / Specialty during character creation. These suits are like the GÇ£Rookie ShipsGÇ¥ in EVE Online in that they have a limited slot layout, poor health, and low PG / CPU. They come pre-equipped with other free Militia BPOGÇÖs by default. This allows them to be used in the event a player runs out of money as a GÇ£FreeGÇ¥ option but will provide strong incentive to upgrade to Tech 1 as soon as fiscally possible.

Tech 1

---

The Tech 1 Dropsuits are generalists that lean towards roles via their skill bonuses while still providing general flexibility. These are like the GÇ£T1 FrigatesGÇ¥ in EVE Online. They have superior HP, PG / CPU and slot layouts to Militia Dropsuits while remaining marginally priced.

• The first (Scholar) is suited for Logistics. Its bonuses favor the repair tool / nanite injector and it trades grenades for additional equipment slots.


• The second (Templar) is suited for close range brawling. Its bonuses increase weapon damage and reduce heat buildup allowing for it to put out some formidable DPS over longer periods.


• The third (Inquisitor) is suited for marksmanship. Its bonuses favor range and accuracy and allow it to support the front line troops with deadly accuracy from farther back.

Tech 2

---

The Tech 2 Dropsuits are very specialized. They are built for a specific role while sacrificing flexibility in all other roles. These are like the GÇ£T2 FrigatesGÇ¥ in EVE Online. They have higher HP, PG / CPU, and slot layouts of the T1 suits and are very expensive.

• The first (Reclaimer) is a specialized Logistics Dropsuit. Its bonuses reinforce armor, HP regen, and provide a solid boost to repair tool efficacy. It has 5 equipment slots allowing it to bring any assortment of equipment to bear. It loses a Light Weapon and Grenades over its T1 counterpart.


• The second (Justicar) is a specialized Assault Dropsuit. Its bonuses reinforce armor, mobility and give a huge bonus to weapon RoF. It loses a Sidearm and Equipment slots over its T1 counterpart.

I like it, I like it a lot,

two things I want to point out though,

1) Why does the Amarr Medium bonus change pending the suit, when it should be that stat which should be static?

2) Amarr made equipment consists of drop uplinks, so perhaps a bonus for those instead to keep with the lore?

We really should flesh this out, I mean full blown.

It would get tiericide some serious attention and restart the conversation about racials again.

I'll make a feeble attempt with Caldari Lights

A couple people, myself included, have proposed a tiericide with a switch to EVE style tech levels. As far as I know CCP has never responded. So, needless to say, you have my support. At least in principal, I didn't read the stats closely enough to have an opinion on them.

General Medium Suit Formula

Basic Fitting (MLT)

T1 fitting

Type A Logi
Type B Tanked Assault
Type C DPS Assault

T2 fitting

Type A Logi
Type B Tanked Assault
Type C DPS Assault

so how in your opinion would this work for scouts?

Sounds good to me, but just a little note, you gave the convert ammar suit 4 slots at the equivalent of militia lvl. Unless the other suits got a boost to slots it wouldn't fit in its own current role, to have slightly more health and to have plenty of CPU/PG to fit what you want in your limited slots.

Even if you were to convince CCP to change them into armor tankers by current standards they would only have 2 lows.

Other than that, this seems like a great idea to me.

Gorgeous.

Tell me your Gallente T2 Scout vision, so I may dream.

I did them for Amarr further down on page 1. But I would imagine that the sidearm buff would be a shotgun buff for any self respecting Gallente scout.

A threads like this have already been made in the past. Here's one for example https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1192441
