Just putting out the suggestions there, that is tweaks are to be implemented about the scanning of the suits, then why with an acoustic radar are we still dependent upon line of sight??

An why is the radarGÇÖs range so limited? 18 meters (it is only 55-57ft) should be the base scan radius for a medium suit with the scouts placed out to 26m (that would induce the use of scouts for scouting) the heavies buffed to 15m and the logis, since they are supposed to be filled with all kinds of instruments, range of 22m.

And it should be based off of sound, i.e., if you run, more sound = pinging the acoustic radar. Fire your weapon, ping the radar again. Drive a vehicle = ULTRA ping, because those things should be loud as all hell. Needless to say the visual trigger for an acoustic radar I still find very disturbing. How about a fix there??? I mean since fixes are being thrown around.

I do like some of the fixes, as they are being presented, but as we all well know what is said versus what we get is two different realities.

We have allowed the turret to pass through objects like the lamp post to avoid those annoying hang ups. Whilst the turret intersects an object in this way it will not be able to fire.

Also, after seeing some of these comments I went and did some checking and there are indeed some updates ot comms in there. We will not know how effective these have been until the build is out in the wild and the system is put under some stress. Fingers crossed!

is there going to be a respec anytime soon

SoonGäó is a very relative term. ;)

In this case though I would think that by the time they roll out the major changes for tanks in version 1.7 that they would either have it included or have told us when it would happen. From what I could tell of the EVE Vegas stuffs, the devs there sounded like they were going to be doing one for sure (I could be wrong).

On another note, since people are "whining" so much about respec's all the time, why not start a thread asking the devs the following:

1 - Can we have respecs in exchange for Aurum (ie real money)?
2 - If we do respecs for Aurum, how much should they cost?
3 - If respecs for Aurum are allowed, should free respecs never be possible again?
4 - if respecs for Aurum happen, how often should they be allowed?

To anybody who pays notice to the small details, those bug fixes are very welcome indeed.

How about fixing the crappy rep tool trigger?


How can you see the trees through the forest?
There are numerous major iritating issues that fixes to crappy stupid minor issues mean nothing

i think they are just fixing and setting up for THE BIG ONE. aka UPRISING 1.7.

According to the recent Dev Blog, 1.7 will certainly be the big one. New weapons, revamped vehicles, revamped weapons, new equipment items (please be the cloak), etc.

I love the HP heavy armor update, it really helps with those OP Duvolls, Dren's, and militia assault rifles. Please increase the Heavy machine gun damage by 2 for advanced and 4 for prototype! I have level 5 proficiency and complex heavy damage modules and the heavy machine guns ARE too NERFED! A basic militia assault rifle can hack anyone down to size with little to no upgrades! There's no reason to use prototype at all when the militia weapons are Soo powerful! If your honest with yourselves you would agree that militia weapons are OP. Now when you fully upgrade Assault Rifle proficiency and use prototype weaponry it becomes UNBEARABLE. 1,000+ damage in 2 sec! Come on! If they're going to be that powerful far away at 75 meters then give the heavy machine guns 75 range or decrease wind up time and increase the base damage! Heavy machine guns are a joke right now:/ They are 'HEAVY MACHINE GUNS', its basically a VEHICLE weapon being wielded by a soldier. It's suppost to be powerful! Heavy machine guns are mainly effective up to 30meters, 40 meters is a joke. And when will we see Gallente Heavy dropsuits?! Please Fix the aforementioned things of the weapons. Right now its only smart to be a heavy and run around with a stock militia gun with level 3 sharpshooter. That's the only way you can feel powerful, like your actually doing something.Its a sad time when the fully upgraded Heavy machine gun IS weaker than the UN upgraded militia rifle.

I can see why you have zero likes if you are seriously complaining that militia gear is OP and your post implies you are getting killed at almost twice the range of the ARs optimal and well within the range where fall off makes its shots marshmallows
