So everyone here is probably seen the Dropsuit changes happening in 1.8. One this in particular is that Scouts are pretty much going to be the only ones that can use Cloaks without royally hamstringing themselves. Basically, Cloaks take a massive amount of CPU/PG but all Scouts get 15% CPU/PG reduction per level of Scout suit. Scouts also seem to be getting additional PG/CPU and are getting a free equipment slot (most likely so they can put a Cloak there). But how does that play for the BPO Dropsuits?
If the Valor/Dren/Dragonfly don't get the bonuses and/or the additional CPU/PG, they will be flat out inferior. Does this mean that they are not going to be useful? |

They get their respective racial bonuses now, why would they not after 1.8? |

I'd figured the BPOs would be tweaked to match their Militia / Standard counterparts. |

Let me just start this out with "Your Stupid", this is meant to be offensive. Alright now thats said and done let's begin with they're bpo suits "What does that mean?" They don't run out,unlimited, renewable, imperishably. You'll forever have them no need to buy more than one. And now on the the next part, all bpo suit except the Templar ones are Basic standards that means no bonuses to a specific class.

These suits already get the skill bonuses if you have levels in Gallente Scout, so don't see why that should change next update. The concern that they will not be updated properly with the extra equipment slot and CPU/PG however is valid and may be something CCP overlooks. Hopefully not, but it doesn't hurt to point it out.

As long as you spec into Gallente Scout, you'll get the bonuses. The BPO scouts ate Gallente after all. |

When they were bought under the impressions of "these are just as good as the regular variants", don't you see how that could make people upset, especially considering they were bought with actual money? It doesn't bother me in the least, I don't use any BPO suits that are not race tied, but I figured it was a valid question considering it may very well be that those suits end up becoming disused because of the shift in the game.

Don't mean to be. I am just curious if there will be a bump in CPU/PG. Wasn't a declaration, just a question. |

Considering you never have to pay for them again......they are what they are. Basic Frame Scout suits.

Dragonfly Scout is a STD scout suit right?
Talk about that one could be cost effective with dragonfly scout suit BPO (gal scout 5) + AR BPO prof 4 + Ion pistol.

LOL, so so wrong. Now who's the stupid one? Covenant Assault BPO gets role bonuses if you skill into Cal Assault (same as all the other Cal Assault BPOs). Same for all the Gal Scout BPOs. The only Dropsuit BPOs to NOT get role bonuses are the militia frames.

i run a dragonfly scout all the time for a little more than a month, i don't have a cloack on it and usually finish top 3, they won't be useless, i don't even have point in gal scout, it's not the suit that matters, it's how you play and how you understand it's limit and capability, i'm glad i have this bpo in my collection, awesome suit tbh

Thats outright wrong, the valor is clearly stated as scout (and to mykowledge you need gal scout level on to use them) the same is true for the sver logi and raven assault.
Even the dragonfly scout and assault are rated as scout assault suits. Soo all this BPO suits get their bonusses... |

You do realize that the Dragonfly Scout stats changed from Chromosome to Uprising, so there is precedence that when they change the suit all versions of it are updated. . . because, damn, I'd love the original dragonfly stats over current ones.

Woah, there's some serious miss information going on here. As it stands now the Dragonfly, Dren, and Valor are not basic frames. They are standard racial scouts, and they do indeed get the bonus (I have personally tested this). I see no reason why this would change in 1.8.

No they are the basic "scout,heavy,assult" etc so they benefit from racial bonuses
So my dren scout has the racial benefits of my lvl in gallante scout and that is lvl 5
In other word it's a basic scout not a basic basic =ƒÿÅ

This
The Dragonfly, Valor, Raven, and Sever BPO suits have changed before, I believe some have changed multiple times. There is no reason they can't or won't change for 1.8.
Also, as many have been stating, all BPO dropsuits other than the Skinweaves get role bonuses. All dropsuits have a very clear and consistent naming pattern, learn it. |

I hope you washed your foot before you shoved it in your mouth. Several BPO suits do indeed receive bonuses. In fact, I believe all of mine do, ranging from the sever Logi, to the dren suits. |

all the bpo 'scout' suits such as valor, dren and dragonfly are G-1 suits meaning they will get the same PG CPU as the new G-1 Scout suits (STD lv1 scout) cloaks are supposed to be a specialized piece of equipment for dedicated scouts so i would expect it be difficult to fit on anything less than ADV (unless you have lv5 scout) but the valor/DF/Dren will receive the bonus as they do now its only the Thale militia light frame bpo that doesn't get scout bonus

The devs never really gave a clear answer, but from what I read most of the time I think:
If a suit NEEDS a skill, it gets the bonuses.
So dragonfly and some others don't get bonuses, while that one scuit suit with the green camouflage gets it (forgot name).
Can some dev finally say if this is true or if ALL suits get bonuses even if they don't need the skill? |
