This list will be eternally incomplete, but i would like some feedback from you guys if you think i forgot anything. And please, no trolls.
So to begin...
WEAPONS
-the general TTK for all weapons needs a decrease right now, as it is currently too low
-aim assist needs some tuning, preferably in the downward direction, especially for rifles, proposed fix would be what CCP is currently doing, as it sounds pretty good
-weapons currently in need of a nerf:
The rail rifle needs a huge reticle, more recoil, and a lot of hipfire spread, assault rail rifle needs a 5-10% damage per bullet decrease
The combat rifle (non-assault) needs a longer time for each burst, and a longer delay in between each burst, probably with a fire rate of 1000, but a larger delay in between bursts. The assault combat rifle is fine where it is, it has its ammo guzzling problems to balance it out
The scrambler rifle needs more bonus to charge up time (10-15%) but less regular shot damage (5-10% nerf) and have 1-2 shots less until heat up
The assault rifle needs a range nerf of about 15-25%, but to balance this out and make the CQC weapon it is meant to be, increase all variants fire rate by 10%, nerf damage by 5%. The TAR needs a larger mag cap, but also a fire delay in between rounds similar to the combat rifle
-All sidearms other than Flaylock and Nova knives need a 5-7% nerf to damage
-weapons in need of a buff:
Laser rifle, however, CCP has announced a hot fix coming soon
Mass driver-increase splash damage to make it area of denial weapon by say 10%
Sniper Rifle- more of a bonus to headshot damage only, also, headshotted enemies cannot be revived, give a higher mag cap to tactical variants (6 rounds)
Shotgun-needs a pellet buff at ADV and PRO levels only, probably 2 pellets at ADV, and 4 at PRO, breach needs an upgrade to mag cap and slight buff to fire rate
Plasma cannon-DoT is something CCP had in mind, but is probably going to be hard toimplement, so if it doesnt work out, give it a 10-20% boost to direct damage
Flaylock- increase splash radius by 1 meter, and you have a balanced weapon
Nova knives- remove sprinting interrupt for all slashes, only should interrupt sprinting when charge reaches 100% for more than 1 second, and maybe even add a ballistic function- https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1784320#post1784320
Swarm Launcher-buff to 1.6 stats, except only 200m range

Now onto modules
MODULES
The main modules that need their effectiveness reduced in comparison to other modules are MLT, STD, and ADV armor plates (non-variant), and damage mods. CCP plans on nerfing damage mods, so i will not comment on that
these are some possible buffs to reduce armor and shield disparity-
STD: (85 armor, 3 PG, 10 CPU) vs (33 shields, 2 PG, 15 CPU)
ADV: (110 armor, 6 PG, 20 CPU) vs (55 shields, 4 PG, 36 CPU)
PRO: (135 armor, 12 PG, 30 CPU) vs (70 shields, 8 PG, 54 CPU)
if anything, the ludicrous costs of shield extenders need to be lowered especially in the pg departments for 3 reasons-
1. At proto level, (their only useful level), they only cost 1 pg less than proto plates, but 24 more cpu
2. Shield tankers (minmitar/caldari) have very low pg, but high cpu
3. Biotic modules which are supposed to be coupled with shields to create a hit and run style of suit cost the most pg of any module in the game, making them unfittable if the user also wants to stack shields
In addition, Caldari and minmitar suits need an innate buff to shield recharge delay (not depleted) and recharge rate of about 15-25%
ARMOR ALSO NEEDS A BUFF
The penalties for movement speed for all plates are backwards in my opinion, and is part of the reason no one uses anything past ADV plates. A solution for this would be to make the penalty constant across all tiers, possibly a 3-4% penalty depending on common opinion. Also, ferroscales and reactive plates are a joke, and i dont even use armor. I think that ferroscales need a slight buff hp wise (5% ish), but should also have very low fitting costs. Reactive plates should have a lower penalty than other plates (1-2%), and have 1/2/3 hp/s respectively for each tier. Also, they are in need of a lower fitting cost by a lot like ferroscales. Also, armor repairers should be moved to high slots. I currently think it is unfair to armor tankers that shield tankers are able to use both high and low slots to tank their suit, while armor tankers must only use low slots.
-proposed buff for armor repairers- move to a high slot, or instead just add a high module that bonuses armor regen
-Armor repair, however, should not work while taking fire, in other words, add a 1 sec delay after taking fire to armor repair
-OTHER MODULES- kincats should affect strafing speed, codebreakers need a lower cpu/pg cost

VEHICLES
I wont even start trying to balance vehicles, there have been far too many threads on this topic already

DROPSUITS
When 1.8 comes around, we really are going to see some great new things from all suits. The sentinel gets its huge damage reduction, scouts get more modules, moer equipment, and a cloak to boot. commandos are huge dps dealers, and logis will actually perform their roles, and have gotten huge buffs to equipment usage. Overall, though assault and logi stats arent out yet, they seem very balanced, but give m scouts more base speed, and logi/assaults more base HP

EQUIPMENT AND GRENADES
The grenades are good, except for core locus and thukker. The core needs a slightly lower blast radius, and the thukker needs a small blast radius (packed at the most), but more damage (in the 400-500 range).

did i forget anything?

I'm going to have to disagree with the 3-4% movement penalty across all tiers my advance Amarr suit is only filled with advance mod/weapons that 4% penalty I get from stacking two armor plates is high enough and is the #1 reason I hate using my proto suit ( which is filled with mostly proto ) that 11% to speed penalty is just horrendous on an already slow suit.

Where do you stand on my proposed changes to shield and armor?
