So 1.7 is like the great duct tape shortage or something,

how to fix us reinforce the whole hit and run/ gurrilla warefare mentallity the minmatar are famous for, make us as good if not better at recharging shield than caldari this way we still have low buffer but better ability to hit get out recharge hit again, and give us a actual role on the battlefield that aint a second rate assualt suit that runs a bit faster.

What about dampening? Being easily spotted by scanners completely throws hit and run out the window. Also note, even two Complex dampeners will not protect us from proto scanners, considering that the Proto Minmatar Assault only has two lows, this is not good.

Now our assaults 5 high slots are going to be useless since our "hit-and-run" suits now can't even augment our fits with the crappy 66hp bonus of a shield extender without ruining our ability to recover in the few instances when we CAN reach cover to regen shields. There are only 2 high modules that are currently viable for assault fits, and we only have 2 low slots to 'sort of' counteract the damage you are now causing us when we try to buff our HP with one of them. Why you gotta kick a man when he's down CCP? Why you gotta hate bro? Fix TTK!!! MATARI PRIDE!!! Tears For Our Dearly Departed ReGnYuM. May He One Day Return To Shoot Us All In The Face...

I'm fully aware, I've tooled around with it quite a bit. The Assault however was semi-useful on the front lines before this shite, now it's as useless basic precision enhancer on a heavy suit.......... Fix TTK!!! MATARI PRIDE!!!

I currently run either an ADV repper and a basic plate or an enhanced damp and a regulator on mine (otherwise there is no way to fit a decent amount of HP on it) with one energizer, one recharger & 3 extenders. If CCP insists on doing this to us, we need both a PG/CPU increase and a 3rd low slot to help us deal with this nerf or we will be completely useless. The shield nerf is intended to cut back on Caldari advantages, and we Minmatar are suffering because of this. Throw us a bone here CCP! Fix TTK!!! MATARI PRIDE!!!

Is it worth it or just wait? If you really like your side arms it's an alright suit. STD is useless. ADV is slightly less useless. PRO is useful if you manage to not get spotted and hug cover. Well, I am not skilled into sidearms, I am a logi so.... you see where I am heading now? It's slightly more tanky than a scout, slightly faster than other assault suits, it has a 1HP passive armor regen per second, and the skill for it gives you a sidearm clipsize bonus (at lvl 5 you will have 100 bullets in an SMG clip instead of 80). That's about it for our "benefits", not that any of those is really a benefit in this low TTK environment except maybe the clip size buff. Fix TTK!!! MATARI PRIDE!!!

Their entire process to date has been meant to create a series of FOTMs, and for December 2013, the Minmatar assault isn't it. Wait another 6 months, like the previously-underperforming Gallente logi has, and maybe you'll have your time... hopefully the game will last long enough fot that to happen at all. I beg to differ on the Gallogi. It has always had a passive 5 armor rep at lvl 5, it has always had a bonus to equipment fittings, it has always had access to repping hives. The Gallogi has always been decent, at least as decent as the Amarr. It's just that it's utility was overlooked due to the issues with the Callogi. Once the Callogi was fixed and armor got buffed, that's when it went from par to OP. As for waiting 6 months, we already have. Gallogi was always decent and went from decent to extreme. In the same amount of time the Minmatar have gone from poor/semi-viable to almost completely broken. All we want is for Minmatar to straddle the par, to hell with getting to be OP. MINMATAR ARISE!
