They're keeping their high stamina. And the only downside is slower speed. I'm sorry but I don't see how it's bad. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos

Then why is it there in the first place? Currently passive armor rep is for EVERY logi. taking that away, and saying "now if you want this, you're going to have to spec into gallente" is just .. bad. That said, I understand Gal are supposed to be the armor masters in DUST. So I will grant them that. BUT... Armor, AND scan proficiency? Scanners are, and will continue to be the single MOST USED equipment on the battlefield. I see maybe one knifer in every 2 to 3 games, sometimes they have a friend. I dunno, I just think Minmatar is getting boned. particularly when it comes to scouts. Hacking speed is nice, but only if I'm hacking. completely useless in ambush, or any future mode where hacking isn't useful. but all the other racials are useful in any mode. how is this balanced? Scanners have been nerfed hard. There are no longer 360 spins, and the target visiblity time vs recharge time has been tweaked, so it rechargers for three times the scan duration. And Gallente aren't armor masters, Gallente are Armor REGENERATION masters. Amarr are armor eHP masters, and they're being turned into that in 1.8.

Flux grenades will be flying and equipment ie nano's will have a 1 minute life span. Caldari heavy recharge rate: 30hp/s. Caldari scout recharge rate: 50hp/s Caldari Assault propable recharge rate: 40hp/s Current Caldari assault + Recharge bonus = 31hp/s. Caldari heavies have a 1 second depleted recharge time, which means that even though fluxes will be flying around, they will start recharging uber quickly.

Unless CCP removes Flux grenades of course. I love how people whine about Flux grenades when in reality they have no use on anything smaller than a heavy. Locus grenades do so much damage that no medium frame shields can take the blow. A flux would do around the same damage. Flux grenades are mainly AV, anti heavy and anti equipment. Everything else Core Locus is better. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos

Yet they will still be the most used, and useful piece of equipment on the battlefield. Doubt it, their nerf is very heavy, I don't think scanners will be a "MUST HAVE" anymore.

Caldari is easily neglected by flux, shields have a fixed depleted recharge delay ( plus additional delay from each shield extender). If there was a re-spec....there is no real reason not go Gallente. Armor repping nanohives: A. Can be destroyed easily, a grenade or a flux really make short work of these B. Are stationary C. Consider that the Caldari Assault would most likely have 40hp/s, and that's pretty much the Allotek hive right there D. Hives were nerfed so now the amount of healing they can do is greatly reduced E. Take a crapload of CPU/PG F. Take an equipment slot that could be used for something else. In general, repping hives have their uses, but once 1.8 hits Caldari would truely be masters of regen.
