"The staff are complaining about the mice in the kitchen...."


"I want to hire a new staff!"

"The logistics players aren't using their equipment....."

"Let's take away their weapons!"

So true, because every Assault is using one....

You miss the point entirely. If you adjust the suits so that there is an incentive/bonus to using equipment over other things then you inherently reduce the slaying power. You're delusional if you think that I can run ADV/PRO equipment in every slot (which I do) and also stack 3 damage mods and a Duvolle. It can't be done on my Amarr proto suit, I can tell you that with absolute certainty.

I was quite disappointed to find out that the suit in fact can't run max equipment and be a kill machine like you would surely believe if you read the QQ on the forums. So, lets say you reduce the total CPU/PG by a small amount (I really should do the maths on this one of these days), but then give all the suits an equipment fitting reduction like the gallente suit. This way, someone who actually fills all their equipment slots with hign-end gear can still defend themselves (good luck going against the newly buffed AR or a RR with an SMG, btw) with lets say a GEK - that's usu what I run b/c the CRW-04 ScR uses too much CPU/PG because the equipment uses up less fitting cost. BUT, since you reduced the overall fitting power of the suit, if you don't use equipment, the suit becomes worse than it is now?

Does it make more sense now? If not then I can't help you, you are just doomed to be a nerftard like every other idiot on these forums.

so that anyone with a brain will no longer play the suit and others will realize that you are just everyones ***** and the most expensive target on the field....

Im sorry but that was my translation of what you just typed

The "sidearm as viable main weapon" argument fails miserably if you are not using proto.

[quote=Evicer][quote=Maximus Stryker]The easy fix is to nerf CPU/PG significantly so it's impossible to fit a pimped out tank with a pimped out weapon. Then give a huge bonus CPU/PG reduction to certain equipment (like nanohives, needles, reppers, etc.). This would result in them being able to use great gear, but with lower tier weapons, or a great weapon with a weaker tank.

Also, as TTK get's fixed, speed will play more of a factor in the overall survivability of a suit. This will hurt the logi some because it's drawback will be more significant.

Sure, I'll just sit behind cover all battle in my slow Amarr suit while the guy with the RR or newly range-buffed AR shoots at me from 100m away with pinpoint accuracy. Meanwhile everyone is running out of ammo and can't get reps or spawn.

Besides, didn't you just say you thought it would be a bad decision on CCPs part? I don't get it.

Whatever, dude, you're a "better" player than me. So what?; It has nothing to do with the discussion at hand, because using the relatively small number of people with well above average gungame with proto SMG's at prof 5 who have been doing it for months because it fits their style of play is hardly generalizable to the rest of the population.

Just because your particular style of play doesn't get affected doesn't mean it's a good idea. Did any of you run sidearm only at, say, ADV level? standard? In every situation? On every map?

With what? A std SMG with prof 0 and no damage mods? The current single-shot flaylock? Doubtful. The "sidearm as viable main weapon" argument fails miserably if you are not using proto.
