Nitrobeacon Freek Coalition Freek Alliance 145	Posted - 2013.12.20 23:26:00 - [1] - Quote So I was thinking, since we now have all of the rifles, shouldn't the bonuses for the assault dropsuits change? What if the bonuses changed completely, so that Gallente assaults for example, doesn't have a useless recharge skill. It would be better if the "first" bonus was towards their racial weapon's efficacy, so Minmatar assaults get a faster ROF on their CR, or something like that. Then the second bonus to goes to EHP/regen which depending on race, varies; So Gallente assaults get bonuses to armor while amarr assaults get bonuses to both shield and armor, but 50/50 on both sides. Basically make assault suit bonuses better, instead of silly 5% recharge per level; that some suits don't even find useful. C'mon even scout suits have cool bonuses.

Arkena Wyrnspire Turalyon 514 Turalyon Alliance 6539	Posted - 2013.12.21 00:00:00 - [4] - Quote Yes. +1. Shield bonuses on Gallente assaults is stupid. They're not the only class with silly bonuses though. Sentinel bonus - reducing feedback damage. Really? Level 6 Forum Warrior Lenin of the glorious armoured revolution Gallente FW - 'Turalyon'
Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 2718	Posted - 2013.12.21 00:05:00 - [5] - Quote YES the Assault suits need better bonuses. There was never a logi problem, there was just a crap Assault problem. I think a race specific bonus should be limited to the Amarr though. Otherwise it'd just be undermining the customisation aspect of the game. No.
Cyrius Li-Moody The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 2362	Posted - 2013.12.21 00:09:00 - [6] - Quote My minmatar assault could sure use something. It's very confused at what it's actually supposed to be good at. Youtuber. Your friendly neighborhood whiskey-fueled merc.

Male or female, noob or pro, my SR is steady, and my trigger ready. Walk or run, if you're in my scope, you will die!

Tectonica Fusionus Fraternity of St. Venefice Amarr Empire 3	Posted - 2013.12.21 00:17:00 - [9] - Quote Caldari: 2% more shields per level Gallente: 2% reduction to armor stacking penalty per level Minmatar: 2% (I dunno...) per level Amarr: 2% more armor per level
Monkey MAC Lost Millennium 1282	Posted - 2013.12.21 00:21:00 - [10] - Quote Personally I believe that your suit shouldn't have an effect tied to racial parity. Just because Im in a Minmatar Suit doesn't mean I should have to run Minmatar weapons, thats the whole point of choice. So while minmatar weaponry prefers closer ranges, I may personally prefer longer range engagements. However I don't see a problem with non-combat related perks in say a racial upgrade tree, like spare ammo capacity, fitting reductions, resupply rates. Stuff that won't disadvantage you for not having them, but will still be a boon if you do. Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you. Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl.1

Don't relate them to health.

So what, if you can survive 1 extra projectile of a 2400 rpm hmg? i say increase it to 5% extender (per level, sorry) efficacy for cal assault, they have less high slots anyways, one slot is bound to be used for recharges as well

While use of shields allow quick regeneration of health. Its one of the more versatile suits. Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you. Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl.1
Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 540	Posted - 2013.12.21 00:41:00 - [16] - Quote I think the assault perks should be more offensive oriented...the Amarr and Minmatar are on the right track, Gallente perk tracks well with efficient use of high end gear. Only really outlier is Caldari...they might need the most significant update. Recommendation: 1) Amarr heat reduction bonus stays 2) Minmatar ammo increase for sidearms is upgraded to allow it to work for the combat rifle and HMG 3) Gallente keeps the hybrid weapon resource reduction perk 4) Caldari should get a decrease in spool time for rail weapons or another weapon related perk.
Everything Dies Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 377	Posted - 2013.12.21 00:54:00 - [17] - Quote The basic Assault bonus should be the Logi's passive armor rep. Only THEN should CCP focus on the racial bonuses. Life is killing me.
