So 3% resistance to everything but turrets and other heavies? No bueno. How about you guys start running with logis like you used to do?

Well i do mostly run with Logis. They can only heal you however.

Fair enough.

I don't run heavy suits, so I really don't know how it is. But I know if I see a heavy out in the opened that bastard is mine! Heavies seem to be best for holding down an area (objective, outpost, ect). My problem with resistance increases is the heavy will still be a sitting duck out in the open (where it's not suppose to be super effective), but it would start approaching the line of OP in the area of holding ground (its intended role).

That's all the heavy needs!
Maybe add it as a new skill in "Dropsuit Upgrades"
Or make it a bonus as part of the "Amarr Heavy Dropsuits" Skill
Hey you could even just make it a standard bonus for every Heavy dropsuit
Obviously there are many things to consider before implementing this no matter which route you take but hey thats your job

BTW Dust 514 is a fantastic game, congratulations. You guys probably dont hear that enough (especially on the forums lol)

My remote explosives will still kill you.

What the heavy needs is less running around in the open and more hanging out near cover/enclosed spaces.

But that won't happen. I will continue seeing HMG heavies running around in the open areas of Manus Peak or the bridge map etc, where I will continue to gun them down with a TAR. And at first they will fire back, but then as I get them into armor while I'm still at 80% shields, they will try to run away. But they won't make it. Because they just don't get the class they chose to play as.

And then they will come here to post threads about heavies needing some love. And I will smile as I read them.

Not entire maps no, but there are the outposts and facilities and bunker buildings where HMGs and shotguns dominate. The new maps in particular are very CQC friendly around the objectives.

So on manus peak, heavies are just expected to wait at A or B, or hope a guy in a dropship, turns up and doesn't get shot out of the sky?

However consider this, a new type of plate heavy only provides a little less than current plates, but has a special effect.

Resistance of Armour increases per shot that hits the heavy, does that make sense?

No i think the topic name is really how it should be. It's the most logical and effective

If they want to avoid getting killed by even the worst player in the other team because he's got a gun with a longer range, then yes, heavies should stay near cover/buildings/bunkers.

You can't pick a class with the highest HP in the game and a gun that is a veritable bullet hose at short range and expect it to be good in a long range combat situation. I play an assault armed with a TAR, and I stay the hell away from CQC friendly areas and I do extremely well. Because I stay away from CQC areas.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Having it as it's own new skill would defeat the purpose, by making it accessible to everyone.

either small arms or explosions. one or the other

Im not saying it should be able to long range, but it should at least be able to survive closing the gap a little, its current lack of speed is too much for the health it has!!

Heavies should be able to be at the front line as well!
