Caldari sentinel's shield depleted recharge delay?

1sec?really?

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.

The speed boost makes it as fast or faster than the Non-Minmatar commando suits.

I'm guessing they wanted to make shield tanking unique to the Caldadi heavy so logis have more armor to heal.

It isn't. You're thinking of it in terms of what we've had so far and so it seems strange, but it makes sense for a shield tanked heavy. It's designed to be hit and run, while the others are stand and deliver. So it has a fairly high delay (4s) to prevent it from being able to stand and deliver like the armor heavies, while the depleted delay just gives it a fighting chance if the Caldari heavy makes a slipup because there is no shield repping nanohive, there is no shield rep tool, etc.

Remember, shields do not recharge under fire, so the Caldari heavy will still need to fall back if his shields are depleted - the low depleted delay just means it won't take an eternity for his suit to be able to get back in the fight - again, balanced by the fact that an armor heavy can retreat and get his armor repped but no such luxury exists for a shield tanker.

It seems very fair when you consider how the suit is supposed to be used and the fact that you can only ever equip a single shield regulator due to the suit only having one low slot. All other heavies will be vastly superior at stand and deliver style engagements while the Caldari suit will be more suited to brief skirmishes.

Like the idea of the Caldari Heavy.. but not liking the idea that a flux and a shotgun shot is gonna instant kill me.

Okay, let's try this differently:

It is an error. CCP has confirmed it is an error, and it's going to get fixed.

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

Yup. Also, the heavy cannot use a light weapon. So, everything is going to get speedy it seems.

Im loving the fact of new factional hvy dropsuits! I know Amarrian races are supposed to be awesome at everything but, the races that LITERALLY have a description of specialization should be balanced. Caldari focuses on shields so why not make them shield tankers from their base stats? Gallente focus on armor so make their base armor the most. Minmitar focus on guerrilla warfare and fast strikes so why not make speed their perk minus shield and armor? Amarr should be moderately close to both stats with even stats of shield and armor. I'm just saying. Am I the only one who shares this opinion?

Which weapons are the Hybrid-Blaster weapons? are all gallente weapons hybrid-blaster? Or only the Assault Rifle and bolt pistol?
Same question for each of the different types I'd like a list of different weapon bonuses, and which applies to which.
