OKAY OKAY! Since you asked so nicely...this is what we're thinking.

Assault [5% reduction to PG/CPU cost of light/sidearm weapons]
- Caldari Assault: +5% to reload speed of hybrid railgun light/sidearm weapons per level.
- Gallente Assault: 5% reduction to hybrid - blaster light/sidearm hip-fire dispersion and kick per level.
- Minmatar Assault: +5% to projectile light/sidearm and +1 to Minmatar explosive weaponry clip size per level.
- Amarr Assault: 5% reduction to laser weaponry heat build-up per level.

Logistics [5% reduction to PG/CPU cost of equipment]
- Caldari Logistics: +10% to nanohive max. nanites and +5% to supply rate and repair amount per level.
- Gallente Logistics: +10% to active scanner visibility duration and +5% to active scanner precision per level.
- Minmatar Logistics: +10% to repair tool range and 5% to repair amount per level.
- Amarr Logistics: 10% reduction to drop uplink spawn time and +2 to max. spawn count per level.

Will copy + paste this in to the Feedback thread too.

I think I love you

EDIT:

The bonuses aren't perfect, but certainly a step in the right direction.

I proposed a reload bonus for Caldari assault, but it was rather unpopular. I would recommend pairing it with something else like recoil reduction, and/or ammo reserve increase. The Minmatar scout will have more than one bonus, please do the same with the Caldari assault.

The Gallente one you guys are going with seems like won't help the shotgun or, plasma cannon (unless maybe it tightens shotgun spread, IDK if shotgunners would want tighter spread or not though). Only AR users might benefit.

I LOVE the Amarr and Minmatar bonuses. Perfect.
EDIT 2: Just noticed the Minmatar explosive thing, maybe should be to ammo reserves instead of clip size; +1 explosive clip size per level sounds like it could be incredibly OP, as awesome as it sounds.

As for logis, many find those bonuses restrictive, but I like them. When every race has at least 2 equipment type, the bonus should be expanded to include 2 equipment. Example:

Minmatar could get bonus to repair tools and REs and PMs.

Caldari can get bonus to nanohives nanine injectors.

Gallente can get bonus to active scanner and [INSERT NEW EQUIPMENT].

Amarr can get a bonus to drop uplinks and [INSERT NEW EQUIPMENT].

Anyway, thank you.

While I agree that a reload bonus (on its own at least) is not as good a bonus as the others listed, but assaults are about offense, so they should have bonuses to their race's weapons (hybrid-railgun weapons in the case of Caldari). HP tanking bonuses like shield extender efficacy do not emphasize the offensive/weapon oriented role of an assault.

I personally would like to see the Caldari assault get an additional bonus to ammo reserves of hybrid-railguns (5% per level), so a Caldari assault could basically keep killing without needing to stop and resupply. I'd like ammo reserves + reload, or ammo reserves + kick reduction, or maybe all 3 together; none are that great on their own, but I think 2 or all 3 together would make a good bonus.

If you have any weapon specific bonuses you would like to see, feel free to suggest.

A. double-posting is in bad taste.
B. Maybe they're nerfing the clip size so you'll have to do that 3.2 seconds of reloading every 15 shots. You'd be thanking god for a reload bonus if they did that. BTW caldari tech is the slowest reloading in the game.

really? so according to you, 15%(tree) is equal to 25%(suit)? a 66% increase is the same as 0%?

You have the slowest reload. you should be happy they're giving your FOTM crutch something to make up for it's only weakness in cqc(longest reload of any rifle) that even stacks with it's tree skill.

3.2 seconds for a reload. tree skill(5) puts that to 2.72

add the new skill to that(which, with current mechanics means taking the new base of 2.72 and then multiplying by .75) and you get 2.04 seconds spent reloading. .04 seconds slower than the scrambler rifle, which, for reference is the fastest rifle reload.

so you go from dead worst to imperceptibly slower than the absolute best in class.

so, you'll have enough time to charge and put 3 bullets into someone with just the tree skill.

and it even works for sniper rifles.

7.7 bullets per second. .68 seconds .25 second charge. .43 of shooting or 3.3 bullets. standard type rifle, more from an assault.

EDIT: MATH DROPPED!
