DUST Search - I am dissatisfied with the Minmatar Assault bonus.

Sooo if I play in an amarr suit, I am FORCED to play with either a scrambler or laser rifle, because otherwise it won't be as effective?

Now I understand the lore behind, and eve logistics behind it! But if you were to do it, it would need to be incredibly subtle, enough that you aren't forced to match them!

Now in the amarr example the current bonus works well, it doesn't actually increase mag size, it just allows you to fire for longer periods of time!

So if you are gonna do it, don't over do it. And make it a racial weapon bonus so you have 3 perks a suit!

That's the idea. Nothing to increase the damage output directly, so no Damage increase or RPM increase. Subtle things like increasing shots per clip with Minmatar or the Amarr bonus. They will influence your choices obviously, but that's the point of bonuses. Unless KAGEHOSHI totally rewrote the linked thread, there's a ton of good ideas there. Also, I'd prefer three unique bonuses per suit. Example: In EVE, there was a skill called Destroyers. It gave two bonuses to the four racial Destroyers, derived from its level. No two Destroyers got the same skill bonuses. Similarly, the racial Frigate skills do the same. It makes no sense to just have an 'Assault' bonus. Even less seeing as no two Assault suits even share the same skills beyond 'dropsuits'.
