Overview: Assault classes are supposed to be more assault like with a focus on their racial weapons and logis will focus on racial equipment.
Problems: While Amarr and Minmatar are happy with their bonuses, Gallente and Caldari are having a hard time seeing how theirs will be useful to most other their weapons/play styles. Logi's will be limited to only being good with one equipment while equipment in general is less effective.
Minmatar: I like our proposed assault suit bonuses but our logi bonus makes no sense.
Solution: Introduce several new pieces of equipment that aid the Minmatar in their combat style have theirs logis get bonuses to those instead.
Such as:
-Shield booster (recharges X amount of shields over 1-3 seconds with Z cool down)
-Speed booster (Use an ally, increases walk/sprint speed by X% for Y amount of time with Z amount of cool down)
-Speed Amp (Personal Use, increases walk/sprint speed by X% for Y amount of time with Z amount of uses)
-Give bonuses to use of RE/Proxy mines such as additional reserves or greater damage.
Caldari: We don't see our assault bonus being overly useful and apparently we don't care about our logi because nobody is talking about it.
Solution: The Caldari like range and defense warfare so actually focus on that.
-Assault bonus helps with range, either optimal or effective, somehow. Personally, increase effective range that way their ability to deal the best damage isn't crazy but they can still strike out to ranges beyond what anybody else can.
-New equipment, deployed on the ground it increases shield regeneration amount and reduces shield recharge delay when within aura.
-Passive Scanner, equipment, when deployed passive scans X meters and Y dB until destroyed.
-Tacnet Scrambler, equipment, blocks mini-map of all suits in X meters by Y degrees
Gallente: Our assault bonus help one, hurt another, and do nothing for the third. Our logis will be awesome at scanning but will have little other use.
Solution: Give the assault a bonus to damage, blasters are supposed to be the most lethal weapon due to their short ranges.
-Give the logi a bonus to things Gallente actually care about: armor repair, profile dampening, and misdirection.
-Give bonus to armor rep tool
-Stealth bubble, greatly lowers profile of everyone within bubble. Logi must constantly maintain effect.
-Deployable Active Scanner, actively scans everyone at X dB over Y meters (larger than passive deployable scanner). Show's up on everyones tac net.
-Decoy grenade
Amarr: Our assault suit is fine but our logi will only be good for uplink spamming.
Solution: More Amarr equipment!
-Armor fortifier, increase armor resistance by X% to all damage while with aura
-Stationary Heat Sink, while within aura heat build up is reduced by X%
-Remove triage hives from the Caldari (why do they have them anyway? They are shield tankers) and give them to the Amarr
Result: Holy crap you can actually understand what each race's combat doctrine and play style is! |
