Heavy - Dmg mods/protection
Assault - Dmg mods/weapons

What if you are an assault/heavy and you are not speced into dmg mods? I think the current system is fine it's just the scouts that need work. If you are an assault and you want to sacrifice speed/shield recharge/prof. dampening ect. to get a ****-ton of HP you should be able too. If you are a heavy and you want to run as fast as a scout (not gonna happen but still) you should be able to try. Adding in penalties for trying a new type of fitting is wrong. If you are doing this then it's no different than the class system in BF3, you may think you are different than everyone else but in reality the only thing he doesn't have is a red dot.

So basically "Waaaaaah the mean assault man is killing me, how dare he choose a class designed to be versatile and not die to my fitting thats designed for a very specific purpose"

Now let the tears flow like whine from guys getting butt hurt at that statement

This suggestion reminds me of something i talked about for quite some day. Bonuses and shield\armor balancing.

Dual tanking is another example of that issue. You dont have penalties for using shield extenders (there should be though), and you cant use a too big penalty for wearing armor plates or you risk hurting too much specific suits.

So in the end, your best bet is to try and mix both as much as you can. (behold the logis of doom and their multiple slots)

So yeah, i'd support adding a layer to the suits that would reinforce the feeling they are intended to use specific modules and encourage ppl in sticking to that without taking away the possibilities to mix everything a little.

For example, if we had a higher movement penalties for plates and a bonus tied to the Gallente Suits that would reduce that penalty, you could end up with gallente having lower penalties than what we have now and shield warriors being way much carefull on stacking those plates because it would chew their speed away.

With the current skill tree, a solution would be to tie a bonus to the basic frame skill of every suit. That bonus would apply on both basic and specialised suits of the same race.

Dont get that everyone understands the problem with logis having countless slots but CCP....even the CPM knows they need fixing. Whats the holdup CCP?

Not sure how i should take that

On a more serious note. It's something i, and many others, have said day one we saw uprising. Actually i also mentionned it pre-uprising regarding how the Logi VK1 suit was a better assault than any other assault suit.

Now it's called CK0, has other racial friends, and is better than any other suit as those have become less interesting than they were.

But logis need their slots to be able and use top tier equipments. Real issue is that using logis without equipment but with many buffers gives better result than using the suits made to be actual gunners\tankers\scouts.

So the solution isnt to nerf logis. It's to take them, and every other suit, back into their role. Just using the racial and specialization bonuses would be enough for that.

Bonus HP for heavies. Heavy weapon bonus for each race
Bonus to nanite clusters amount for logitistics. Equipment Specific bonuses for every race ( repair gun efficiency, drop uplink spawn speed etc..)
Bonus to light weapons\side arm PG\CPU consumption for assaults. Weapon Specific bonuses for each race.
Bonus to radar signature (lower) for Scouts. Specific race bonuses tied to black ops activity (knives, hacking time, cloack efficiency when its available, sniper rifle)

Tons of possibility to push slayers out of the logi class while not hurting actual logis.

I've never understood the whole "logis need all those slots" thing. Somebody has to explain to me why a Caldari Logi with 350 CPU and 78PG with 3 highs, 2 lows and 3 equip slots cant do its job.

couldnt have said it better. if a logi can explain that to me i'd be satisfied as well.

the uprising tac AR was also versatile as it dominated close range and far. its bad design.......i dont fault you taking advantage of it but its hardly operating as intended.

well...logibros?

Hehe. you're one of the most highly respected people on the forums so no worries.
