im okay with it, how ever I would like to see other light frame variants for hacking, assassination and battlefield intel.

that said current iterations need two equipment slots more then ever and the pg/cpu buff to go with it.

I'd say that's a point in a case to add EWar info to the HUD.
Instant thoughts are maybe some small numbers around the map radar for Profile, Precision, and maybe Range.
Perhaps have them change color (and/or blink) if the value changes from what you had when you spawned.

Or perhaps an optional / toggleable element that's more substantial, though I'm sure that's quite a bit more work.

You'll probably need some kind of similar way to deliver info for command suit bonuses to recipients as well, wont you?

That works, though I still think there should be a scout with a hacking bonus.

The bonuses from the test servers in general seem pretty good, though the assault ones are pretty bad. The ROF bonus buffs the AR, RR (and maybe the CR), but not the SCR (nerfing it by ommision). On top of that, the removal of the Amarr assault's heat buildup reduction bonus is a much bigger nerf. The ROF bonus would make a SCR disincentivized on an assault suit because the bonus is wasted on it.

Instead of HP/rep bonuses, assaults should have bonuses that enhance their race's weaponry. You guys had the right idea with the heat bonus.
Amarr: 5% heat buildup per level of laser weapons per.
Minmatar: 5% magazine size per level of projectiles and explosives per level.
Gallente: 5% reload speed of hybrid-blaster weapons per level.
Caldari: something...

As for the role bonus, the 4 racial rifles should receive a 10% damage nerf, but the role bonus should give a 2% light weapon damage increase per level, so they will be as strong as they currently are to a maxed out assault, and ensure assaults are better slayers than logis without making the weapons overpowered and hurting TTK.


Also back on scuts, I love the Caldari scout idea of increasing the enemy's precision (so counter-intuitive in regular language though that more precision means less effective at sensing).

For 1.8 you should see re-adjustment of damage mods, a reduction to weapon damage and possibly alteration of the weapon proficiency skills to only buff damage against shield or armor (in keeping with that weapon's profile) instead of a blanket 3% per level to both shields and armor.

Done and done. Though, you're gonna be losing a sidearm slot. (Also, I think people are gonna faint when they see the PG/CPU costs of cloak fields; Scouts'll be alright though)

Pardon?

So no more NK/MD fits huh?

Well, the thinking was to give the second EQP slot to GA, CA, AM suits and leave the Minmatar with one EQP slot and its sidearm. Still debating that one though.

Scouts are a getting a buff to base scan profile (probably a reduction down to 35, though the exact number isn't final)

Even with that bonus a Gallente scout needs two dampeners to hide from a freaking Advanced Gallente scanner. And impossible to hide from a proto scanner. Please nerf scanners so the difficulty of dampening matches the difficulty of scanning...

When I specified Gal scanner I was referring to the Gal Logistics scanner. Also just redid my math and a Gallente scout can use 1 complex dampener to hide from an advanced Gal scanner but it's impossible to hide from proto. Based on the assumption CCP reduces scan to 35.
