Simple question that may get some interesting answers: What is the final vision for each class, how do you guys wish to see them performing in the field a year or two from now?
What's your 'final' vision for your creations, when you can look at your work and go: Yup this class is unique and does something no other class can match, it's truly a valuable asset to the battlefield.

That's going to be tough to answer.
The classic example of a class unique to DUST is the 'heavy sniper'.
Given this mentality of letting players fit what they want, how they want and when they want, I doubt there is a set vision for class roles besides giving them different slot layouts and letting the players create the roles. |

I think having the classless system we have now is one of the main draws of Dust. I can throw knives on a heavy or a LR on a scout and in neither case would I be told "No". The suits attempt to lean you one way or the other, but it is ultimately up to the player to create their own playstyle, whereas other games would give you a very small kit for your role (example: medics get completely different guns from a shock trooper, and are locked into a few choices). |

In Dust514, you make and define your own roles. If you want predefined roles, this game is not for you. |

Alright, i think he meant the supposed role of the specializations?
Basic frame mediums should get 2 equipments at std. The basic frame is your definition of a logissault, not as good a logi as said logi, nor better an assault than an assault.
Scout frames should get 2 equipments, basics have 1. Scouts should be the paper thin all seeing eye. Their unmatched passive scan allows vision no other suit can handle, and it comes with speed to handle nova knife assassinations.
Sentinel frames should be the absolute tankiest suits in the game. Imagine them as an assault from 'mechwarrior'
Logistics frames should be dedicated versions, with 2 variations. The current logi which has a light weapon, and another which is faster, has another equipment slot, but loses its light slot for a sidearm. It would be named the xk.1
Commandos (imo) should be tanky light frames, but nowhere near the med frame. Imagine the black eagle dropsuit, but instead of faux ar for sidearm, it has a legit light slot.
Pilot frames would be a heavy frame, but super less tanky. Imagine a commando with 200/200. Runs perfectly in the middle between heavy and medium, id say around 6.3 sprint. Their heavy musculature would be filled with vehicle for dummies books and extra flash drives to increase its vehicles abilities. |
