There are base layout changes. Wait on those.

And seriously. You're saying no to a 25% plate bonus? Just downgrade a plate and you'll get the same thing if that's what you want.

I'm all for a plate bonus, but I'm only able to fit 2 enhanced plates and 1 complex rep+enhanced rep.

Dropping a enhanced plate for a basic would save me 10 CPU and a few PG.

The fitting reduction bonus saves me around 22 CPU and 3-4 PG on a Proto AR. Not to mention, once we get hybrid sidearms it will save even more CPU/PG.

Are you seriously so tight on fitting that you'd say no to that bonus?
What are you fitting?

I have a fit somewhere with dual complex reps, dual enhanced plates, triple damage mods and a Duvolle. Unless you're using core locus grenades and allotek hives I really can't see how you need that fitting so badly.

2 complex dmg mods
1 basic shield extender
2 complex reps
2 enhanced plates
Duvolle AR
Six kin SMG
M1 Locus
Compact hive

I ran a toxic and std nano hive but changed out for this fit.

Total stats
173 shields
504 armour
12.50 repair per sec
394/394 CPU
77/79 PG
4.70 movement speed
6.92 sprint

Losing that 25 percent reduction to hybrid weapons will invalidate all my fittings. We don't have enough CPU/PG as it is.

>six kin SMG

We don;t even know if they are touching the CPU/PG layouts there could be an extensive reworking of all the suits. As the CPM's say; nothing is official.

I'm also pretty disappointed to see the bonus go; I fit my suits to the brink most of the time and losing this bonus will force me to rethink alot of my fits unless there is a slot layout or CPU/PG change as others have mentioned. However let's just wait and see how this works out it may even help Gallente Assaults like you and I.

Anyway I thought I'd post my proto fit so that you might try it out; it works pretty well for me the few times I ever break it out.

Assault gk.0

1 Complex light Damage Modifier
2 Complex Shield Extenders
Duvolle Assault Rifle
'Toxin' ICD-9 Submachine Gun
M1 Locus Grenade
R-9 Drop Uplink
2 Enhanced Armor Plates
1 Basic Armor Plate
1 Basic Armor Repairer

Stats
Shields - 295
Armor - 598
Price - 129,675 ISK

This is just my first proto fit; it is usually wise to have multiple for different situations. If you prefer more damage you can always switch out a shield extender for a damage mod too. This fit is just what I usually use when I am asked to jump in a PC battle.

2 Complex light Damage Modifiers
1 Complex Shield Extender
GEK - 38 Assault Rifle
'Toxin' ICD-9 Submachine Gun
C-7 Flux Grenade
K-2 Nanohive
3 Enhanced Armor Plates
1 Complex Armor Repairer

Stats
Shields - 223
Armor - 625
Price - 102,315 ISK

That is my second fit; I usually run it when I need to be more self sustaining or when I want to take out enemy equipment with flux grenades. Both these fits have served me pretty well so perhaps they might work for you.

(P.S - you can even change them around pretty easily so these fits can be flexible when needed. Also if anyone has some fitting suggestions feel free but keep in mind I'm waiting to skill into a sidearm till there is one I actually like. All suggestions will be appreciated.)

Vae Victis

thank you for the fits.

I've never been a fan of the GeK, just can't get any use out of it.

Also, have you tried stacking complex plates and a complex repper? Works pretty well as a mini heavy, if you can fit a repair hive or even a compact it can work pretty well. Just try to stick with a Logi.

Though, you triple enhanced plate setup with a complex extender does about the same thing.
