Why is the secondary race bonus for all sentinels resistance to allied weapons?

Shouldn't it be to the allies of your enemies?

Meaning Amarr's secondary bonus should be 2% shield resistance to blaster weapons - yes, that is what the above quote actually says but when you compare it to the other stats (below), you see the stated Amarr bonus is probably a typo and supposed to say 'hybrid - rail weapons'.

Maybe this is for lore reasons, but if I'm a Gallente Commando I will be fighting in FW for Gallente and Minmatar and will be less likely to need a resistance to allied weapons (unless it's FF, lol).

But changing the Caldari bonuses to a 2% shield resistance to projectile weapons would be silly, as they already suck against shields. I think they should change the Minmatar weak bonus to anti-railgun and leave the Caldari and Gallente ones where they are as they are pure shield and armour bonuses respectively.

Well you're not wrong about there being something off in the way the resistances are structured and I'd really prefer to have the bonuses follow lore too. For the record, moving the Amarr small resist to Caldari Weapons makes almost as much sense as changing the Minmatar one, it's just that a shield bonus vs rails is worth less than a shield bonus vs plasma (CF. damage profiles). I was mostly responding to your original point about combating the damage type of your enemy's ally, the complication arises because there are two races with mixed bonuses and two races with double bonuses so the Caldari small resist against Amarr weapons and the Gallente small resist against Minmatar weapons is the only way to go without devaluing bonuses.

Considering the details we got about the vehicle changes and the new rifles I think we can give them the benefit of the doubt, if these bonuses are even what they're planning on presenting to us.

With respect to that, assault bonuses should be inverted. To add to this, the basis of the Amarr approach is that their capacitor is given over to powering their laser turrets, leaving them without power for active repair. The Gallente use relatively short range weapons and are therefore dependent on closing quickly so they can't afford the additional weight of extra armour plate.

EDIT: Nevermind, thanks! What does the caldari bonus mean? This is completely unsupported speculation but I suspect that a cloak is an equipment module activated by "firing" it like it's a gun. I have no idea what the cost is associated with (some kind of charge?) and how that's related to cool down. I think at this point any guess is as good as mine.

The cool down working the same as active modules on vehicles or the scanner. I can't imagine CCP having dynamic PG/CPU costs for a module. It's not as if I can use it for something else and then change to the cloak, I would always have to have those resources free (and actually checking those kinds of values would mean applying fitting maths during battle where I suspect dropsuits have mostly static values determined when the fitting is saved). I would think that the activation cost is part of a charge that the device holds (like ammo), so you activate cloak, once deactivated there's a cool down period and then you can cloak again and each time you do it costs charge.

If you're asking what we're speculating about then yeah, that list looks about right to me. Given the change in bonuses there may be a substantial difference in existing suits too.
