wouldn't it make more sense if the caldari scout had the nova knife bonus? I thought nova knives were a caldari weapon!

SERIOUSKLY , WTH.

This is serious issue.Its so bad the only option ''competitive'' players have is to play a race they dont really want because their race just plain sucks BONUS wise.
And if you DO skill into an Amarrian dropsuit like the scout,you wont be using it in Platenary COnquest and other important matches, you'll be using the Gallente/Cal or Min because of the actually USEFUL bonuses.
Scout = Useless
Commando = Useless
Assault = UBER Useless (So bad than NOW the amarr logi has this ''repair rate'' bonus and it makes no difference, on a 4 LOW slot suit...)

Sentinel = Good
Logi=Very Good

---

So we have 5 classes, 3 of them have the worst Bonuses compared to other racial suits of the same type.

Now some will say bonuses are not that bad, but none of these people use amarr dropsuits or WONT use them once 1.8 hits, not to mention they wont spend a single SP on them if we get a respec.
Example: People saying the Minamtar Assault bonus is as bad as the Amarr one.
DUDE, if you dont want it i would be more than pleased to change the 5% Armor rep rate per level for your DAMAGE MOD bonus, and Amarr assaults have only 3 highs compared to your 5....

Just replying to the guy above me ( not gonna qoute it beacause its like half a page of writing ) the minmatar scout bonus has not got any sidearm damage mods and it never has. Its just profiency for nova knifves. If you think a wepon which is a 3cm range should not get a little buff on 1 suit because you only get to run faster you, shouldnt of chosen a crapy race. The amar cant build anything good because they had captured the peacfull minmatar race one day and forced them to build the scarmbler rifle/pistol and the heavy. And the ammar are trying to get the cals to build them wepons and suits now. And while the ammarian scum a arguing with the caldari, gallente and minmatar are building gianf 50ft hybrid mech suits which uterlise both gallentes ultimate armour knowledge and minmatar s knowledge of shield to create a unstopable suit to crush the ammar. The caladarie are not moved by this act and just go and loot the dead ammar and salvage some of the isk, aur and vehicals, ds etc and they split all salvage with the gallente and minmatar and the eve universe is all happy and joy is spread across the universe.

See this is the kind of crap that made me go crazy a few days ago.

When you equip nova knives (a caldari weapon) on the minmatar suit, you get a 25% bonus to damage. This is equivalent to 3 complex damage mods. Therefor, the bonus is worth 3 complex modules. This is indisputable.

If you get a bonus like this, but refuse to use it, you are just being stupid. Just like with the commandos, if you choose to use weapons that you have no bonus for, it doesn't mean that the suits bonuses aren't ther9e... it is just that you are ********.

To the rest of your post, I am not sure where to begin.

1) amarrians have traditionally been the most advanced race outside of the jove. They are also THE pre-eminent armor tanking race.

2) caldari are the ones with superior shield tech, not minmatar.

3)Minmatar are brutish and violent, and the gallente are two-faced and apathetic.

Is the gal heavy ment to only have a 1 armour rep per secound because the gal scout has 5. It would make more sense if the scout had 1 and the heavy had 5 ( the gal heavy should have a secret suit bonus 1 rep/sec for each level. Other heavys could have also have a hidden bonus such as a 5% increase to stamina regian and max stamina, and movement/sprint speed per lecel for amar. Cal could have a 5% increase to all shield mod effaincy ( or a 5% increase to max shield if you dont like he first one ) per level. Minmatar should be a 3% increase to hmg damage per level ( alot of heavys wont like it but hmg is a Minmatar wepon so they should get a racial bonus. ). Having these hidden atributes for heavys would help balance all the suits and they are all based on the suit ( shield armour or ammar which judgeing by the scout is ment to be a speedy race. And race) I thimk they are pretty evan (not really all too even but it should help make suits have a bit more of a heavy bonus. And the ammar heavy will be quick unlike the other suits which will be slugish but may have more damage or hp. )

I love Dust and all that but the suits need to live up to their stats:

-Heavies should be like a tank.... that's why they are heavies. The speed and shield regen is at good standing for using them but that naturally comes with the title. Low speed, High health

-Logistics are being dropped a little to easy for my liking. I use Proto Gallente Logi and I get dropped like im running militia and im running all complex armor plates (+950 armor HP and 100 shield hp) Along with that the triage needs some work, lots of WP missing. Guardians work great but triage... not so much.

-Assaults- they should have a small damage bonus (Very small, like 1% per level) for having no equipment and all weapons suit. Think, assault should have power but not be indestructible to another infantry unit. Hence assault. Try not to use to many forums, use what it should be so not that every suit is evenly matched but that every suit is Specialized in their class description.

-Scouts are not really my thing to use but they seem pretty balanced. Light quick and deadly when close.

-Basic frames are pretty good and there are no complaints there.

That's all but they need to fix the heavy suits being dropped so quick, that should not be happening. Heavies should be able to with stand a rail rifle, combat rifle, assault, sniper, and all of that ... period and proto rail rifle or combat rifle should not be dropping a proto heavy with over 1,000 armor and 550 shield in 3-4 seconds. I would know by first hand experience.

Thanks

Galente logi needs more hp? did I just read that correctly? LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

OMG..

I have been here since closed beta. I have been nerfed by these upgrades with a few different playing styles.

I will be broken if this one kills my current scout style. I know we can all share this kinda "heart break". But I am worried.

It seems CCP Logibro is very active in keeping logi top of the charts. Who is my patron of scouts?

I read it too, its not your imagination.

Pro tip: Stand behind the heavy you are repping, not in front of them.



Dude, you have over 1000 eHP on a medium frame. If you are dying too much perhaps you need to learn to use cover and not stand immobile out in the open. Or maybe not brick tank your suit until it's slower than a heavy going uphill?

I'd like to know what changes will be made to the Assault and Logistic suits in 1.8. I have yet to see a post by a Dev about these changes. Are they rumors? Are they facts? If there was a post somewhere about it I must have missed it, if someone could just be kind enough to link me to it I'd be all set. If not can a Dev please elaborate on these rumors?

Amarr Scout bonus looks so lame.

Gallente get a complex dampener and a complex range amplifier
Caldari get a complex range amplifier and 5% better than a complex precision enhancer
Minmatar get a complex codebreaker and 15% more than a complex light weapon damage mod to nova knives
... and the amarr get a basic cardiac regulator.

The Gallente Exemplify range and dampening, with good stats to armor tank
Caldari exemplify range and precision, with good stats to shield tank
Minmatar exemplify speed tanking and assasination
The Amarr. . . don't do anything better than anyone else other than try to mimic an easier to dampen Assault suit.

Ammar scout has most hp (30extra then most other scouts ) thats why you got yoour bonus

why minie scout dont have 5% scan profile per level?!!!

wtf??? why nova knives when i cant use them if everybody see me :D
