Let's start by looking at the skill bonuses.
Sentenel:
The base splash resistance is nice. But does it apply to all splash, or just explosives? (IE a railgun shot). As-is, most splash damage effects deal 70% damage to shields, 130% to armor. This will help armor tanks way more than shield tanks.
Caldari: 15% resist to blaster, 10% resist to laser.
This means damage profiles will be as follows
Laser: 108%, Plasma: 93.5%, rail: 90%, Projectile 95%, Explosive: 60%
This makes lasers stay king of the hill, good.
Gallente: 15% to rail, 10% to projectile
thus:
Laser: 80%, Plasma: 90%, rail: 93.5%, Projectile: 99%, explosive: 90%
Looks good.
Amarr and Minmitar:
Hoo boy. the bonuses can only apply to ONE type of tank, so to get the full effect of the bonus out, you need to dual tank. Whereas the other two suits can dual tank OR single tank with other sorts of mods, and still get the full bonus.
Commando:
The base effect is good, and will disproportionally effect swarm launchers and plasma cannons.
Caldari:
Light railgun weapons... So the Rail rifle (two variations) and the Sniper rifle (two variations). Not a lot of versatility there.
Gallente:
It will get bonuses to the assault rifle( FOUR variations) , the shotgun (Two variations) and the plasma cannon, which was already significantly buffed by the other bonus.
Amarr:
Bonuses to Laser rifle and Scrambler rifle (two variations)
Minmitar:
Bonuses to.... Combat rifle (Two variations). (and eventually, the precision rifle, when that gets released)
Huh, looks like the Minmitar gets bonuses to ONE possible gun, which has two variations, so their bonus shoehorns them very hard. Meanwhile the Gallente have three different base types of weapons, of which there are LOTS of variations, in addition to having the plasma cannon already buffed with the reload change.
Bottom line: Minmitar got a crappy bonus, Gallente has an excellent one.
Scout:
As far as the bonus goes, I can't rightly say, as we don't know the cloak's pg/cpu cost.
Caldari: Scan radius and precision. Wonderful. Looks worthless, as this data is not shared with teammates.
Gallente: Scan radius and profile reduction. The profile reduction MIGHT come in handy. But given the static scan precision of active scanners, there is a target that once you are under, additional reduction doesn't help.
Minmitar: Hacking speed is a good bonus. Why does this suit get a bonus to a Caldari weapon?
Amarr: The slowest scout gets a stamina boost? I think this would work wonderfully with a laser rifle. Good job. |
