I said it before, as a dedicated masshole, the minmatar bonus is rediculous.
It will only lead to explosive spam from rooftops again!
11 rounds in a Freedom Massdriver? You got to be kidding me!
This is going in the wrong direction. In Eve the usual bonus for using a weapon on the corresponding racial ship is usually damage related, rate of fire related or precision/tracking related.
Minmatar need high alpha damage to survive a fight. You give them sustained damage. This is just not fitting to Minmatar playstyle. It will make the explosive weapons pure spam weapons (MD Flaylock). We don't need that.
Slightly more punch (the bonus the Commandos get) would have been way more fitting.
On the logi bonusses, I have to agree, that regen bonusses would have been way better. Stick your head out for to long and you go down. But if you go back to cover, your good to go again in no time. That would have been a great help for the logis.
Right now, for example the Minmatar:
Bonus to repping tool. Though I understand what your aiming for with this racial equipment bonus, Its bad, because the minmatar logi is the least tanked logi, and you really think we would all stick to a heavies back to rep him now? I don't think so, because we'll be mowed down in no time since our tank is not good enough to go out in the open with our heavie friends.
Logis should be versatile, whichever race you choose. So give us hit and run bonusses and not those mediocre equipment bonusses that press each suit in a certain role, we might not want to play. Logis should always have a bonus to recovering their health (may it be shield or armour related).

Kigurosaka Laaksonen wrote:Quick question on the base Sentinel bonus, resistance to splash damage. In the case of a Mass Driver, I read that scoring a direct hit on any Sentinel (none of them resist Explosive weaponry) will do full damage, and a near hit will do reduced splash damage. Is that correct?
For my reasoning, the Mass Driver is an Explosive weapon, and all the racial resists are spelled out. i.e. The CalSent specifically resists Hybrid - Blaster and Laser weapons. The generic Sentinel bonus resists 'splash damage' and not 'Explosive weapons.' Also, weapons like the Mass Driver have stats called 'Direct Damage' and 'Splash Damage.'
So will a level 5 Sentinel still take full damage from a direct Mass Driver hit?
Yes, that's exactly it, if you know how to aim, you are a threat to a heavy, if not you're toast...
I like that change a lot!
