DUST Search - What if suit bonuses were...racist?

Garth Mandra wrote:

The +5 armour repair with max skills is one of the problems with logis at the moment. Getting a free complex rep is really useful for almost every suit and build.

Compare this with the current assault bonus +25% to shield recharge which is equivalent to a mere enhnaced recharger and not very useful for Gal suits (and amarr to a lesser degree).

Your Logi gets an always useful bonus and the Assault get a sometimes useful bonus (they have to fit the modules).

My current preference for the bonuses is something like:
Logi: -5% to equipment fitting costs per level
Assault: +2% damage per level

The racial assault bonuses seem okay. The Minmatar bonus is a large increase to DPS though which I'm a little uncomfortable with.

The racial logi bonuses are a bit restrictive. Perhaps a few smaller bonuses that fit the flavour of the races would be better? Current the Amarr and Cal bonuses are weak, the Minmatar one is very niche and the Gal one is relatively OP.

I was going to write some suggestions but Kagehoshi's are better: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=112226

Example: Only a Caldari character would get the Caldari Racial Bonus, and all others would only get the Suit Bonus. It not being this way has always bothered me. Cheeseburgers.

That would put a hold on dual tanking, making it more effective at putting support modules on the opposite slot instead of tanking modules, unless they want that small advantage. Also, they need to fix that assault bonus, idk who at CCP decided that would be a good overall bonus when they are literally hundreds of better ideas than that one.

Agreed, its ridiculous seeing caldari/minnie assaults with more armour than shield, i get that brick tanking is in but i still feel those two suits are more effective being fast and shield based than being an armour based wannabe. These people are in the wrong suits.

Well my suggestion wouldnt end up breaking the game, most of your suggestions breaks limits made to balance weapons. I have no strong opinions one way or the other for your assault suit bonuses. On one hand it could be useful, on the other, no one really uses it since hybrid tanking is currently the best option to survive a gunfight. Armor rep bonus could be useful but assault's lack of low slots and any natural armor rep, even at gallente proto, means we wont have a good balance of plates and armor rep to make much use out of it. +5% (or +25% max) range on an already long range rail weapons would effectively jump them up into a new variant. Short range assault rifles will have the range of tacticals, tacticals will have more range than laser rifles and could probably hit snipers depending on how this game calculates optimal increase to effective increase +5% accuracy, I dont think accuracy ever mattered as thats a fictional number put there with no discernible relationship with the weapon, hell I dont think theres a single skill that increases accuracy which tells me CCP intended it to stay the same no matter what. -6% (or 30% at max) PG/CPU for blaster weapons doesnt really do much considering the -25% we already have saves us a grand total of 3 glorious PG on a prototype weapon, which assaults lack resources to fit double proto light and sidearm anyways without seriously sacrificing something else or heavily downgrading whether it be armor/shield or simply not using any complex mods +5% stability, stabalize what? +5% RoF sure, I cant see anything wrong with killing 25% faster than every other class and race +5% clip, 25% more of killing-25%-faster? lowers glasses really?xzibit approves -10% heat build up (-50% max), great, so amarr can empty their 36round x 100dmg+ 100m SCR without overheating Overheat is suppose to limit SCR from being OP right? So kinda counter intuitive that everyone supports the idea that theres a skill that lowers this limiter dontcha think? I have no qualms with your listed logi based skills except the +1 armor rep per level, if you get 1-2 extra slots, why dont you use those to fit the necessary armor rep should you need it? I rather it be equipment usage reduction since their specialty is in their equipment, not in their ability to tank like a heavy.
The Robot Devil Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 1273	Posted - 2013.11.25 08:13:00 - [14] - Quote As long as the perks come from the suit being worn and not just a level from skills. I don't want a skill that gives me a bonus per level when I wear the suit I want a suit that gives me a per level bonus when I wear the suit. Right now the assault skill gives bonuses per level no matter what assault tier in that race you wear. Instead, I would like to see the standard, advanced and proto all have different perks that defines the suit and makes them different per tier beside an extra slot and more CPU/PG. Some suits would end up losing slots to make up for the gain in bonuses. I don't think we are going to see too many suits if we stick with the system we have because there is no way to make the suits different from each other. The racial perks we have now will be all we get if we don't incorporate perks into suits. Dr. Gonzo: I hate to say this, but this place is getting to me. I think I'm getting the Fear.

And just to be fair even the Gal assault get the same bonus (in absolute numbers) for its shield so its +5HP/sec to shields. Stranely enough the Minni assault gets the smallest bonus from the recharge skill...
