DUST Search - A visual guide to what Teiricide will do for suits.

I sure hope you've brought this to CCP. I wish modules were tiered more like they are in EVE to add more variety without making T2 ridiculously better than standard. At the same time the biggest limiting factor is that the whole module and weapon tier system we have now are intertwined with the suit tiering. The extra slots are great but the PG and CPU increase is important because it's still difficult to fit complex modules on a standard suit even with maxed fitting skills.

Like I said earlier I think the main problem is that this could cut into the games bottom line, because the gear itself outweighs the bonuses 95 percent of the time. As it stands weapon tiering is probably the most balanced because the passive skills and modules do far more than the actual stat increases for most weapons (excluding ranges) and the higher ISK, CPU, and PG costs balance it a bit.

But I think they should scrub the tier systems all together while this game is young. Every skill should contributes to a stat.

To continue monotizing all they'd need would have an open market, aur gear, and SP boosters. Boosters still remain important, but now aur versions of gear have less to do with getting ahead, but avoiding grind. Aur could just allow you to access a specialized suit and weapons with no skill, still being balanced because the skills make the suit. If you have the skill you can avoid the grind. Buy gear with Aur, sell it for ISK, avoid unnecessary grind. Now those who never stop playing can make enough in game to buy boosters with ISK, those with $ can sell aurum bought stuff for ISK to avoid grind.

If a bonus SP rollover system is implemented (which we need it's one of the few reasons why I hate active boosters, I can't take a break) I'd buy a booster that turned bonus SP into passive SP.

The hate I feel for you is strong like bear. IWS, tha **, think you are cool or something. Hey, question. WHY THE HAVE THEY NOT DONE THIS? And why did they not start with this! Thanks for the pictures btw. And it's not because people CAN'T read (see there you go simply assuming ** again). Always liked pictures though (like flowcharts) they show the big picture all at once, rather than psuedo code, that makes no sense whatsoever. Might as well just write the damn code out! I do wonder though, why they need to lose slots. What is an example of the kind of bonus you would gain from the suits. I imagine it would have to be rather large. And the slot count seems waay low. I loved the complexity the number of slots gave to my tanks pre 1.7. I spent many hours, simply figuring fits. Now though with tanks, much of that joy is gone. Nothing complex with tank fittings anymore, slap a hardener on there and call it good. I like the idea, but I do wonder about diversity in fits. OH, and before I forget. JOKING with the jabs, ignore them. You are cool or something, I don't hate you, and you don't always make false assumptions. (no more than the rest of us) Nuff Said

Was going to disagree with the AUR part until I read, Buy gear with Aur, sell for ISK, avoid unnecessary grind. The money they could make! It's like selling buying and selling PLEX! Fits nicely with the FTP model! Nuff Said
