An observation:

The Amarr Commando's stats break a trend from the other suits. It has 650 ehp, which is the same as both the Gallente and Caldari.

So, the Amarr Commando has no hp advantage, the same number of slots, but is the slowest Commando. Is this intended?

Couple things:

1) HOLY CRAP AWESOME THANK YOU CCP!

2) Caldari Sentinel: 4 second recharge delayGǪ [b]one second[b] depleted shield recharge delay?? Really?

3) Minmatar Sentinel is going to have massive CPU problems, while at the same time having more PG than any heavy suit could ever need. Unless you're going to lower the CPU and increase the PG of the Heavy Machine Gun, please reconsider this.

Just to add, the Medium Frames are all getting some base stat adjustments, but no changes to slots (though that's not ruled out for post 1.8)

1.7 scout skill bonus was -5% to scan profile per level. 1.8 skill no longer has this, instead it is built into the suit. Perhaps the same will be done with Assault shield regen? I really hope it does happen that way.

Assault [5% reduction to PG/CPU cost of light/sidearm weapons]

- Gallente Assault: 5% reduction to hybrid - blaster light/sidearm hip-fire dispersion and kick per level.

I think 5% ROF increase to hybrid - blaster light/sidearm per level would be much better. We allready get reduced kick and hip fire dispersion with sharp shooter and operation skills at level 5.

Or, 5% increase to optimal range of hybrid - blaster light/sidearm per level.

just noticed and this may have been raised previosuly but arn't the secondar restances wrong?

it sas gallente has 3% per level to armor hybrid rail and 2% to explosive yet gal/min are 'allies'
Caldari secondary is to laser and not hybrid blasters ect

i'm just going on the lore here that traditionally amarr/caldari and gal/minny are generally friendly towards each other

Anyone want to place bets that these two suits will be unicorns after 1.8?

Bolt Pistol is Caldari. Do you mean Ion?

did they remove the +1 ckip to explosive weapons of the minmatar ????
goodbye flaylock build

Why exactly do LOGISTICS suits have a worse stamina pool and regen?

A lower speed? Maybe that makes sense with the extra equipment even though it's debatable that logistics compensate that with lower health (atleast pre-1.8).

Especially when logis have to run even more due to more crappy equipment.

Or is this part of he internal CCP joke of naming things that they actually aren't? like the smartspawn button?
