I cant see CCP giving the caldari/minny heavies too many hislots cos the playerbase will just pack it with damage mods. i think the suits will all have the same slot layout but shield/armor will be determined by base stats and skill bonus

Say the total base HP for a heavy is 960 (going on amarr who usually have equal shield/armor)

Caldari
Shield 720
Armor 240

Amarr
Shield 480
Armor 480

Gallente
Shield 240
Armor 720

Minmatar
Shield 640 or 320
Armor 320 or 640

But i think the slot layout will only be 2high 3 low at proto level. shield tanks can use the lows for regulators, armor tankers for the plates/reppers

Don't forget that the Amarr are generally slower & boast greater HP at the cost of fewer module slots. The other heavies will likely have 6 slots and about 90 less hp.
The minmatar are somewhat less predictable. Their Scout & Assault are shield-friendly, but their logi has a trend-breaking slot layout and more armour than shield. The Minny heavy could be an armour tank.

CCP should put it in the Elite pack, I'd be tempted. compare amarr and caldari assault suits. look at their shield hp and recharge rates, then look at amarr heavy suit shield hp and recharge rates. you should have an idea of what the caldari heavy will be like. the caldari heavy will have slightly less ehp, but more mobility. while the higher shield recharge rate will help it to survive multiple fights, while generally beating down lesser suits in brawls. the big question will be, what will the suit bonuses be?

Major DUST fact.

The bonuses I was thinking about was something to do with the forge gun and possibly something that affects its shield recharge rate or shield extender efficiency.

In fact, I can't wait for either of the two shield-based Heavy suits to come out. It'll be very cool to put kincats in the lows and shield extenders in the highs. Speedy heavy suit?

Somehow I think CCP is going to miss the deadline for the OP to fulfill his promise... Honestly, every single racial Heavy suit looks awesome to me. I'll probably invest in all four over time and find a specific use for each, especially if each suit gets a bonus to its racial Heavy Weapon. (Amarr Sentinel "bonus" makes me think that'll be the case.) I JUST WANT THE SUITS IN THE DAMN GAME. Staring at the Fanfest 5/2013 pictures just doesn't do it any more. ¶Gêƒ__ Gò« Gû¿GûêGûêGûêGòáGëíGëíGëíGû¬ « GÇó GÇó GÇó GÇó GÇó GÇó GÇó GåÆFAT GATGåÉ pÇûGûôGûôGûôGûôGûôGûôGûôGûôGûôGûæpÇùForum Warrior LV 0 (900/1000XP) ¯Gò¦pÇôpÇù

CCP hasn't seen this as a problem for Assaults or Logis, why would they start with Heavy? In any case, stacking more than 2x Damage Mods is a waste of slots unless you're using a sniper rifle. The stacking penalty gets pretty severe. Alaika Arbosa wrote: Broonfondle Majikthies wrote: ...Flux grenades?

The Minny heavy could be an armour tank. yup Minmatar are a sod to predict. even in EVE their ships switch between shield and armor. usually they combat orientated are shield tanked but usually can hold a good armor tank as well if needed. the minny and gallente seem to have the most slots (on logis) with 12 in total (3/5/4 on proto gal and 4/4/4 proto minny) with amarr having 6 slots on proto sentinel maybe minny and gallente will get 7? 2/5 on gallente 3/4 or 4/3 on minmatar (depending on tank type)with caldari maybe going 4/2? but again ccp risk people putting 3 complex damage mods in it... although that would fit with caldari's aggressive combat personalities
