Monkey MAC Lost Millennium 1509	Posted - 2014.01.08 15:03:00 - [1] - Quote So as Many of you are aware Information regarding the PROPOSED changes of skills to New and Exsisting suits, were leaked, from the Singularity Server. When it comes to skill bonuses I don't think people should be penalised for not using specific equipment or weapons. As such here is my Judgement on the leaked information. Commando Skills wrote: Suit Skill: +5% Light Weapon Reload Speed per Level Gallante Skill: +2% Damage to Hybrid-Blaster Weaponry per Level Caldari Skill: +2% Damage to Hybrid-Railgun Weaponry per Level Amarr Skill: +2% Damage to Laser Weaponry per Level Minmatar: +2% Damage to Explosove/Projectile Weaponry per Level Now I think the suit bonus here is perfect, it allows the commando to be best in class without overpowering it. However at this point in time I am still skeptical about the race bonuses, while they do indeed make sense and are very good bonuses, we don't have a full complement of weapons. Until we have a racial variant of the shotgun, sniper, AOE, Ligjt AV and Unique Weaponry this bonus makes things like a Mass Driver on say a Gallante NEAR pointless. Assault Skills wrote: Suit Bonus: +2% ROF bonus per Level Gallante Skill: +5% Armour Plate Bonus per Level Caldari Skill: +5% Shield Extender Bonus per Level Amarr Bonus: +5% Armour Repper Bonus per Level Minmatar Bonus: +5% Damage Mod Bonus per Level I personally like the Suit bonus for Assaults, it effects ALMOST every weapon wieldable by the suit, encourages accuracy and skill and makes the Assault better for Assaulting than the Logi Units. I also think the Caldari and Gallante Bonuses are very well though out. As they make playing to the suits strengths easier. However I believe the Amarr Skill is counter productive, if you are going to gkve Caldari and Gallante suits tank bonuses, you should really give some to the Amarr as well. My suggestion +3% Armour Plate Bonus +3% Shield Extender Bonus. As for the Minmatar bonus I think giving a bonus to Damage Mods is a bad Idea period. Instead play to the suits strengths. +5% Armour Repper Bonus +5% Shield Repper Bonus. Logistics Skills wrote: Suit Bonus: -10% Equipment Fitting Cost per Level Gallante Bonus: +10% Active Scan Time +10% Scan Prescision for Active Scanners Caldari Bonus: +10% Hive Capacity +10% Nanite Transfer Rate Amarr Bonus: +10% Drop Uplink Jumps -10% Spawn Time Counter Minmatar Bonus: +25% Repair Tool Range +25% Repair Rate Personally I believe these are the worst of the proposed skill changes currently on Singularity. I agree with the suit bonus whole heartedly but not the racial bonuses. I thinkmits unfair to give specific equipmemt bonuses to specific suits. If Minmatar doesn't play medic his bonus is useless, I Amarr doesn't use uplinks pointless. These skills also encourage the spam of uplinks, hives and scanners by the respective suits. If you insist on giving bonuses to equipment for each suit, make it something less game breaking, like a fitting cost reduction. Otherwise I personally believe these racial bonuses need another look at here. As for Heavy Bonuses: I think they are perfect, it reduces the heavies weakness slightly to a specific ammo type. However CCP need to be prepared for the Heavy Units becoming overpowered, it could quite easily happen. Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you. Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl.1

Artificer Ghost Bojo's School of the Trades 946	Posted - 2014.01.08 15:17:00 - [3] - Quote 1) I actually like MOST of the Logistics changes. While I'm not a fan of the 'nerf', it plays well with the lore and mechanics of EVE. For example, the Gallente in EVE are dual-tanking (Dunno why they're Armor in DUST) E-War masters. Much of their equipment and ships focus on scanning and not being scanned. The bonus to Active Scanners amplify this, HOWEVER I'll make a point later on. The Minmatar, also have ships better suited for Logistics (From what I understand), so a Repair Tool bonus isn't completely illogical. I'll say though, that a bonus only applying to one module is only semi-useful when you have more than one module. My proposal: Minmatar: Bonus to ALL Triage Equipment (Repair Tools, Injectors, and Shield Reppers when they come out) Gallente: Bonus to ALL E-War Equipment (Active Scanner, and the SoonTM HUD Jammer, and Webifier) Amarr: Bonus to ALL Rally Equipment (Drop Uplinks, and any other things that come out soon that help rallying) Caldari: Bonus to ALL In-Direct Support Equipment* (Nanohives, anything else that meets the reqs) *In-Direct support, I mean things that help teammates, but only if the teammate knows how to use it. For example, you can give someone ammunition, but if it matters or not depends on their aim. If someone else can think of things (Even if not released) that the Amarr/Caldari use, be my guest. Assault Bonuses: I like them. I'll point it out though that in EVE, the Amarr invented the Armor Repairer, so that probably has something to do with it. Commando Bonuses: VERY nice. :D Scout Bonuses: None? D: Sentinel Bonuses: Great! It'll actually act like a defensive class now! +1 ~Art, CEO and Director of Educations at Bojo's School of The Trades, Co-Founder of the Learning Coalition

Artificer Ghost Bojo's School of the Trades 946	Posted - 2014.01.08 15:32:00 - [7] - Quote Actually, the Minmatar Assault SHOULD have a speed bonus. OR, how about this: Shield Recharge Delay bonus. This will promote the use of hit-and-run tactics. Something the Minmatar SHOULD excel in. Look at the MInmatar Scout. If I get shot in one, then without ANY modules, my Shield is back up in 2 seconds flat. This makes it an excellent "get-in, kill, get-out" fit. @Fox, he meant there needs to be something like a Gallente Mass Driver, or a Caldari Shotgun, so that you can have different weapons on different suits without gimping yourself. Personally, that limitation makes it much better. Being able to fit any weapon on any Commando and STILL have that bonus would make choice of race completely obsolete. Get a Caldari, get a Shotgun, no reason to go Gallente. Get a Gallente, get a G-Sniper RIfle, no reason to go Caldari. See what I'm saying here? That being said, can't wait for the lolCommandoSnipers. ~Art, CEO and Director of Educations at Bojo's School of The Trades, Co-Founder of the Learning Coalition

People go to the easiest option, you can bet that people will see $$ with that damage bonus. They will still need to cut down the other tanked assaults and if they dont see the enemy first their advantage is mostly lost. I thought that is the point of raider styled play. If speed is only a minimal difference (possibly due to game limitations or maybe design now) and its harder to hide because of scanning and the suit having limited low slots then this is the best option imo. Many people will flock because they see damage buff but all that glitters...

And I'm completely against it. One doesn't complain because the Drake is useless with lazors or that a shield-tanked Prophecy dies too fast. The races have their pros & cons and it should remain so. If you want to run shotguns and you picked Caldari, then you'll eventually need to spend the SP skiling into the right suits and weapons. Maybe the sprint to lvl 5 will slow down too, make folks choose between flexibility or specialization(while their char is still young-ish.) And to my knowledge, Gallie ships are armour tanked, not hybrid tanked. If anything they have the strongest structure efp, and we all know real men(tm) hull tank.

There is not even a rumour of an Amarr light AV weapon. I donGÇÖt think there are any immediate plans to have a full set of light AV weapons. I think the point of the Commando bonus was to make sure that the bonus applied to the Infantry rifle and the specialty weapon for each race. With two light weapons there is a good chance that at least one of them will benefit from the bonus, particularly since people will likely skill into the Commando suit that supports their preferred weapon. Interesting point about the Minmatar Commando bonus effecting the Swarm Launcher though. And that the Gallente bonus effects 3 weapons. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

Then the commando bonus can't be accused of pinning you to a playstyle, only an ammo type. Much Fairer Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you. Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl.1

If anything they have the strongest structure efp, and we all know real men(tm) hull tank. They're Dual-Tanked AND have the most Hull. The Algos, for example, has 5 highs and 3 lows. The Vexor is 5/5/5, and just generally don't LEAN towards Armor Tanking on most of their ships However, i'm not going to say that they don't have Armor Tanking ships. It's just that most of their ships are either dual-tanked or slightly leaning towards shield, but not as heavily as Caldari. What I think they should do to solve 50% of their problems, is increase SP payouts, and decrease suit SP cost. It doesn't cost anywhere near 1 million SP to max out Frigates, Destroyers, and Cruisers. I maxed out Hybrid Weaponry, Frigates, Drones, and I have level IV in Destroyers, and I only have around ~500k SP. It shouldn't be a grind to get new stuff. However, with that change, they should add in real-time skill training. If anything, it makes EVE players more at home, and it also gives DUST players a reason to stay. I'd play the game a lot more if I had to wait for a skill to train, just because it'd be something to look forward to. Also add a training queue, and all that stuff. Generally make skills work more like EVE. ~Art, CEO and Director of Educations at Bojo's School of The Trades, Co-Founder of the Learning Coalition

As for the Minmitar bonus, see my post: Proposed Minmitar Assault suit bonuse (For those who failed Math) Edit: Basically the Minmitar Assault bonus allows them to give up one Damage Mod to get more tank. Yes, if you look at the numbers the sweat spot is 2 damage mods, not 3. While the Caldari bonus will probably allow them to give up a shield extender in favour of an additional damage mod. (I have not crunched the numbers, but assume they are similar to the Minmitar damage mod numbers.) Amarr has the highest base EHP, but less than Shields than Caldari and less armour than Gallante, here in Dust the Amarr are the perfect bricktanker (now that shields and armour are on par). Hence my suggested bonus. While the Minmatar skill does lend to hit and run, having multiple damage mods on a minnie suit is unlikely due to the lower fiting space. As such better all round repping ability is more fitting, in my opinion. Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you. Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl.1

Okay, I can accept that. I think I'd like it even more if they did, for example, a 'shotgun' for the Amarr which used laser technology in an unconventional way. That would explain their lesser stats, and stay within the tech strengths of the races. Reiner Knizia-"When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning."

If the Amarr have high shields and high Armor, the bonus means that in the time it takes them to get their Shields back, they will have gotten much of their Armor back too. 2 Armor Repair will act like 3 Armor Repair on any other suit. With the Minmatar bonuse 2 Damage Mods are the same as 3 damage mods on another suit, which helps overcome the tight fitting restrictions, and allows them to equip and extra extender.

I forgot that Med Slots are used for Shield Tanking, not the High Slots. #dustderp I'm insanely new to EVE (Or at least this account is. I've played many trials. First time purchasing), so no alliance. Started around 4 days ago, but progressing very quickly. Did a WH run the other day (Had to leave because a Stratios hopped in. Estimated price for what I got done was around 60 mil, would've been 450 mil for the entire run, had I not had to leave), and I'm already skilling up Gallente Cruisers to Level III. Should be done by now, so make that Battlecruisers Level I. Annnyways, yup. You have to give up Gallente E-War Powah to do it, but with the right skills and fit, you can dual-tank most Gallente Ships. Again, Algos = 5/3/3, Vexor is 5/5/5, and Velator = 3/3/3 or something similar. I'm not familiar with some of the bigger ships, but when I get back online I'll give a couple examples. ~Art, CEO and Director of Educations at Bojo's School of The Trades, Co-Founder of the Learning Coalition

While I'm not a fan of the 'nerf', it plays well with the lore and mechanics of EVE. For example, the Gallente in EVE are dual-tanking (Dunno why they're Armor in DUST) E-War masters. Much of their equipment and ships focus on scanning and not being scanned. The bonus to Active Scanners amplify this, HOWEVER I'll make a point later on. The Minmatar, also have ships better suited for Logistics (From what I understand), so a Repair Tool bonus isn't completely illogical. I'll say though, that a bonus only applying to one module is only semi-useful when you have more than one module. My proposal: Minmatar: Bonus to ALL Triage Equipment (Repair Tools, Injectors, and Shield Reppers when they come out) Gallente: Bonus to ALL E-War Equipment (Active Scanner, and the SoonTM HUD Jammer, and Webifier) Amarr: Bonus to ALL Rally Equipment (Drop Uplinks, and any other things that come out soon that help rallying) Caldari: Bonus to ALL In-Direct Support Equipment* (Nanohives, anything else that meets the reqs) *In-Direct support, I mean things that help teammates, but only if the teammate knows how to use it. For example, you can give someone ammunition, but if it matters or not depends on their aim. If someone else can think of things (Even if not released) that the Amarr/Caldari use, be my guest. I feel like my first post here is being forgotten... - Gallente ships are usually best Armour tanked. (There are exceptions to the rule for all the races.) - Minmitar Logi ships repair shields, not armor. There is some merit in your proposal for the long run, but right now it give more advantage to the Minmatar. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else, there is the Learning Coalition.

I don't know about all the others, but I'm not a fan of this. I prefer the Eve Online way in which each race has an ewar they specialize. Right. Maybe only Scanning E-War then, such as Scan Cloaking (Personal AoE Profile Dampener) or Team Scanners? Something that makes the G-Logi useful outside of a squad. Now, it's basically a personal scout-finder. I'm not saying the Active Scanner is useless outside of a squad, but it sure isn't hitting it's full potential. @Fox, I stand corrected then. I'm not familiar with what the Minmatar Logistics ships do, I just assumed that they mostly repaired armor. I should really get into the other races once I get my Battleships. I think Caldari is next. Either that or Minmatar, but I'm not a fan of speed tanking in EVE (Dat MWD doe). As for the dual-tanking, I guess it's Armor then. I just always thought that because of the balanced based stats and the balanced slot count... I didn't really consider that the Med Slot count was for E-War equipment. ~Art, CEO and Director of Educations at Bojo's School of The Trades, Co-Founder of the Learning Coalition
