that is your opinion and it is wrong  beside that, hit and run for recovery is pretty much minmatars domain which is why the repair bonus actually belongs to minmatar. minmatar also are jack of all trades, they use shield, amor and speed equally. they use different weapon types equally.
also the bonus should not be on the gallente suits, cause their stats are already that great (atleast compare to minmatar suits). compare a full tank fit minmatar sentinel with a 1 kincat+rest full tank gallente sentinel. do the math, realize something? oh well, I might aswell save your time and tell you my point: the gallente sentinel with that fit sprints as fast as the minmatar sentinel and still has more EHP. I have double checked it and this is unfortunately true for all gallente suits, they have with 1 kincat about the same mobility plus still more EHP than minmatar equivalents. minmatar suits get 7% more speed for a loss of 15% in EHP, imho that is not a great tradeoff.
in short: minmatar suits are overall lacking something, either give them a repair bonus too, after all hit and run+recover is minmatars domain, or increase the speed advantage significantly. |

I would like to note that all minmatar suits give up ~15% of EHP with full fit for ~7% more speed.
first, more speed is nice but the difference is too low especially because speed tanking does not work well in an FPS. second if you take a gallente suit with a single kincat you are suddenly as mobile as a minmatar suit BUT you still have more EHP.
I dont understand why someone cant see that this is not a fair tradeoff. |

everyone saying minmatar is this and that, you are all wrong. speed is minmatars first racial advantage and their second is that minmatar are jack of all trades.
go check eve online, minmatar have ships for everything, armor tank, shield tank, speed tank, gank, sniping etc... this just does not translate well into dust currently, their ~7% higher speeds are totally wortheless in a game with hitscan weapons and aimassist esp. when you give up 15% of total ehp after a full fit. their shield recharge is nothing special thus they cant actually do their guerilla style warfare (which is minmatars domain), active tanking does anyway not exist in dust and they cant armor tank properly too because of fitting issues (and it makes their speed advantage even more worthless)
increase that speed advantage to 20% and we might talk. |
