Guinevere Bravo SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 471	Posted - 2013.12.09 12:19:00 - [1] - Quote So I posted a thread about this suit in the GD. It was suggested I may get more chance of a Dev response if I were to post here. Thread in mention; https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=125457 ill try and outline the key points; Mk.0 is already an under used suit in PC, due to low EHP. Impending shield nerf will hit this suit hard, as its predominantly a shield tanker. I know most people will run 3/4 complex shield extenders to get anywhere near a sufficient HP pool. Mk.0 is a 'niche' suit, low EHP fast run and gun tactics. Mk.0 has low resources, people are increasingly finding it hard to fit a full 5 complex mods on the highs without sacrificing one of the two lows for a PG upgrade or CPU upgrade. Even with full skills. Mk.0 Suit bonus, not that noteworthy considering other suit bonuses buff their HP or Main Weapon, not side-arm. Ideas to increase viability; Add another low slot so we can fit a PG/CPU upgrade without sacrificing speed/HP Increase the CPU/PG.I think this as a standalone buff would not be enough, maybe a base suit HP increase as well as. Decrease the scan profile on the suit, increase the likelihood of closing the enemy down without being seen, allowing for more run and gun tactics. Increase suit speed so we can utilize the lows without having to put two kinetic mods on. Re-work the suit bonus to include Main weapon clip size increase also (maybe just Minmatar weapons) I would love Dev response to see if CCP are aware this suit is vastly underused in PC, and public games. And if they have anything in the pipelines to fix this. More opinions welcome.

If the Assault MK0 gets those buffs, then it's scout counterpart will be 100% useless. I'd say give it a 3rd low in exchange for 1 high slot. I'm okay with this. I've been running proto Minmatar since Uprising, and it would be if it were a bit more flexable. But please don't take my Sidearm clip bonus! I too like the side arm bonus, buts its just not enough when you compare it to other suit bonus'. If it where to effect ALL weapons then id say we were a bit more on track.

Well i believe scouts could be getting a speed bonus anyway, so if that happends id expect the Mk.0 to get one as well. Profile dampening is an odd one, I wouldnt lower it to scout levels BUT i do think it should only take one low slot to be able to get under proto scanners if the whole point of the suit is to be CQC. Again im just hashing out some ideas, I realise not all of them are brilliant but its a start. I cant see any option to reduce the highs in favour for a low, it should just be an increase in lows and keep the highs the same, its a shield suit so should have the most highs imho.
Guinevere Bravo SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 512	Posted - 2013.12.17 09:49:00 - [4] - Quote Still looking for DEV response. Since 1.7 i have tried the assault suit officer variant and its slow recharge time on the shields really does show. The suits main tank is now gimped. I could get nearly 30 recharge rate, and now im lucky to get it over 25. Couple that with the low resources available and it makes this suit very hard to fit. I tried running a proto combat rifle (with full CPU reduction skills) and now i have to drop yet more tank to adequtely fit the suit. The points in my original post still stand, this suit does need an overhaul.
