I will post my thoughts here in the interest of getting this suit fixed because its not just the new extender changes, i truly feel that this suit needs to be looked at. Why? Because in my opinion there really isn't a single way you can fit this suit that the Caldari assault cannot cover equally well or better. What we essentially have now is a shield based suit with its shield stats equal to or worse than that of its armoured counterparts and that's completely ridiculous to me.
I understand that the Minmatar Assault should not be able to have equal shield stats to that of the Caldari, they are the primary shield based race and this should be reflected in the 2 suits stats but surely we can have better recharge rates and timers than the 2 armoured races? What is reason for us not having that? The speed? The sh!t house 1hp/s armour rep? If it is based off that then the suit is being punished too much for it in the shield department imo.
Given then that the Caldari is to be the primary shield tanker then what of our Minmatar assault pyjamas? It is my understanding that it is to be shield based, not quite as good as the caldari, but alot faster and it is....that is until we hit the prototype level and the extremely unforgiving slot layout rears its head. Both suits are going to need to run a CPU upgrade for any good prototype fit which leaves the Minnie with 1 slot and the Caldari with 2. As far as biotics the Minnie Can run a red or a green, the caldari could run 2 reds, 2 greens or a red and a green or a biotic and any other module of their choosing like a reg or decent rep or whatever.
So in this regard the Caldari suit can be faster with 2 reds, have more endurance with 2 greens or not be quite as fast but have way more endurance with a red and a green whilst having better tank, regen and recharge timers! What a complete crock of sh!t, this isn't even covering the fact the caldari suit can make WAY better use of armour in its fittings than than the Minmatar can or could double stack regs for insane recharge timers. The Caldari Suit imo fills any role the Minmatar could and is WAY more versatile and much more forgiving in its fitting capabilities.
Basically all we are left with is the clip bonus and 5.3 movement speed as our upside, i really don't think thats enough of a benefit over what the Caldari could achieve, not to mention that if we dont run a reg in our only low we will have a lower depleted time than the 2 armoured assaults and that isn't fair. I am not too sure what should be done to allow the Minnie assault to better fill its role im too tired to think hard atm, but a little better shield stats wouldn't go too far astray.
