Give me heavy weapons that don't suck and I may consider it.

Till then, my Duvolle Heavy Machine Gun is the only girl for me

to many weapons for this to work
also there are no medium weapons soooo thats a thing.

some like their scout with NNs, some like it with a shotty, others still take an smg, I like mine with an AR, heck I even know a few who MD their scout.

so what bonus does the scout get? because a shotgun bonus for the gal logi though it makes sense wouldn't work for me and instead would simply further nerf my suit.

While that Idea might indeed work for eve. In eve there are a greater number of roles in total.
Not to mention we have enough problem with current damage modifiers.

In all honesty I don't actually see why we need an assault class,
the only way to make an assault "Useful" would be to make it the best slayer, which is almost impossible without making it overpowered.

While an assault carrier maybe a damage dealer in EVE, down here in DUST you don't last nearly as long.
The TTK of this game would never support that kind of play. I'm not just talking about assault rifles, I mean every weapon, unless a scout could literally sponge damage it wouldn't be useful.

But it is nice change to see someone thinking about something else, it's not that it's a bad idea, it makes sense, but at the same time, I just don't think it would work.

It would work, you just may not like it. You'll loose alot of currently viable fitting options. Though you could argue we have too much variety at the moment? I don't feel we have enough variety to be honest.

Ghaz, I kinda like where your head's at on this.

I think the key is not limiting people, they should run whatever fit works for them, and providing bonus for role optimization. Role optimization is ultimately what you're describing from the EVE side.

I am not a fan of logi's getting weapon options taken away and simply not optimizing their fit for slaying works elegantly.

On that note, Dust Fiend is also spot on...he plays an offensive style of heavy and this changes his weapon requirements. He pulls the logi along instead of the logi pushing him forward and that's fine. All that should mean is that he doesn't get the additional perks of using role optimized weapons.

The role system is working fine its just nearly all dust pkayers are horrificly bad at this game, all suits fullfill their roles perfectly. But not all players are suited to the roles there trying to fill.

I.e assults that should really be heavys and vice versa. That said i do think the system could be improved but u cant blame ccp for players thinking logi suits make better assults, cuz they dont and never did. Its just noone new how to get the most out of an assult :-(
