 I've been reading a lot of people and even IWS use the Shotgun as a factor in the Gallente Assault's 1.8 racial bonus.
 
 Pray tell what Gallente Assault suit do you have that can use a shotgun effectively to where using it as a factor in decisions is wise?
 
 You need 2 things in order to use a shotgun: Speed and, anonymity. You need to be able to get with in ranged safely.
 
 Gallente Assaults do not have either without extensive (and really creative) modding. I've been stuck with the AR since Uprising and because I'm bored out of my mind with it have been desperately trying to use another Gallente weapon with it. I've tried. I still try. And as far as I can tell it just doesn't work.
 
 So do you guys know something I don't or is the fact that it's a Gallente weapon just coerce you into using it as support in your arguments for that bonus?

 Acknowledged. But as of right now that is not the same in DUST. We're the second slowest because of dependence on Armor plates for we lack suit level active defense.
 
 We have a plethora of low slots for dampers sure. But with that we have no more slots for stamina and speed mods whish we'd also need to even come close.
 
 Again, I wish I could use a Shotgun. But it doesn't work atm. So using it as a reason for the bonus is uncalled for.

 I don't see why so many keep stacking amarrian plates on gallente suits and why so many are afraid to take advantage of the extra low slots to be a better position thorn in people's sides. Many of the races play FAR better when you do match the theme up strongly.

 It has lots of low slots, so I would assume putting complex dampener and complex kinetic catalyzer (needed for a good shotgun suit) shouldn't be a problem.
 
 I don't see how someone could really be ok with their assault suit only having a bonus to one weapon.

 3 weapons
 
 AR has a pretty wide kick and dispersion at hipfire makes it nearly unreliable at longer stand off ranges along with the climb that does eventually interfere with prolonged firing.
 
 Shotgun gains majority advantage by placing more of the damage in a tighter hole
 
 Then the ion pistol with its backscatter and kick being high.

 New Eden's lore is the entire reason why I joined this game when it opened up in January. I also enjoy your lore posts and agree with your desire to match up DUST with EvE as it should. I also agree that matching up suits with lore would be prefered and fun.
 
 What I'm saying is that we don't really have the tools to do so. In EvE a Gallente ship speeds towards the opponent, pops hardeners and reps, locks them down and chews them with drones and blasters (I'm using a simple scenario). In DUST most engagements are either in hallways (I'd say 20m and less) and everything else. The former has corners and things to use as cover till you get within range of whatever you may have. But otherwise your either in the open, your you behind a wall or box, etc with no way to safely close the gap.
 
 Scouts have the speed and anonymity to run longways around the points of focus to get the angle. Assaults do not. If you take a G-1, You would need at least a Cardiac Regulator, a Kincat Catalyst, And a Dampener. Thats all 3 slots filled. No room for a repper. No room for any form of defense. You no have decent stamina, sub par speed, and some ok dampening.
 
 I'd say it might work if our maps weren't masses of open straight dashes with different wrappings.

 In a proper system Federation plates would be lighter weight and have less mass for similar level of hp to a prototype plate. Where as Imperial would have more hp for similar level of penalty of the prototype.

He did not claim that he didn't know why Gallente assaults stack plates period, he claimed he didn't know why so many do so. He does have a point, the Gallente assault has enough base HP for that kind of stealth/speed style; scouts have less health than Gallente assaults, yet they can make the shotgun stealth/speed style work. Don't try to both tank and do these other things, try to totally focus a fit for the purpose of speed and stealth, and you can make it work.

 How exactly does a dispersion and recoil bonus even help the shotgun in the first place? The shotgun doesn't have any kick, it returns to the same position after each time it is fired, and a dispersion reduction isn't much more than a minor adjustment.

 *internal screaming*
 
 Also, how does that suit pass as "stealthy" by any stretch of the imagination? I guess you could put a basic cloak on it, due to the weapon fitting bonus, but any time you aren't cloaked that thing will be light up the map like a Christmas tree. Gallente assaults with shotguns are a joke, mediocre movement speed, no stealth, and not much HP to back it up. The Gallente scout can have a low profile, speed, reps, and decent HP, while the assault has to settle for 3/4 if you're lucky.

 Scouts base stats allow them to have more HP than you in the end after all the damps and cardiac regs and kin cats and stuff, so don't use that as an argument.
 
 Soon they will have two equipment two, AND a cloak.
 
 So why should a Gallente assault be a wannabe scout?

 The Gallente shotgun will suck even more than it does now because of the large reduction to dispersion, instead of firing pellets you will just have a slug round.

 Shotgun Heavies and Assaults are great for point defense around objectives (or near any other important location that needs defending). You can use a Shotgun Logi with a Repair Tool and Nanohives to defend a player with a long-range weapon. As long as you keep enemies at a distance, you keep your teammate patched up and provide extra ammo, then if anyone gets close, you can clean up with the Shotgun.

 Now would you consider putting dampeners in high slots in exchange for precision mods in lows?
 I feel like this would reenforce armor tankers as the stealthy group because they can maintain a low profile and keep their tank vs the opposite being true currently. Yes they can gain the lowest possible profiles due to their many low slots but what is the point if you die as soon as someone looks at you wrong.
 By putting dampeners in high slots a Gal Assault would be able to reach 32 dB by equipping 2 complex dampeners with max skills while retaining his tank where as that is exactly what a shield tanker can do currently.
 Then by having precision and range amp mods in lows this would allow shields to operate more as seekers than hiders, so they could either increase their passive scan range or precision. I feel this would make the Caldari scout really shine because it would be able to maintain tank while being able to have either a passive scan out to 78.8 meter or a scan dB of 25. Although I feel like that scan dB is rather weak for what is supposed to be the more precise passive scan scout, would it be a terrible idea to either increase the Caldari scouts bonus to scan precision or maybe just lower all scout scan dB.
 I also don't understand what scan precision mods are different percents than dampeners.

 gk.0? Yes  Fully skilled G Scout have 208-211HP  . What the hell are you putting on your Gk.0s?
 
 Mine never have less than 400eHP, never have less than 6HP/s armor repair, and rarely fall under 7.50m/s sprint speed. A proto Gallente Scout is far too expensive to go running around naked. Even if you're trying to run a speed suit, it would be foolish to run around without at least a decent HP buffer.

 I'd love to not stack plates on IWS but you see reactive and ferroscale plates are **** and take up way too much for their value.
 
 Also the fast paced active armor tanker the Gallente are supposed to be can't exist in dust for obvious reasons right now.
 Unless we get bonuses to those crappy plates...and something for our high slots.

 Pray tell what Gallente Assault suit do you have that can use a shotgun effectively to where using it as a factor in decisions is wise?
 
 You need 2 things in order to use a shotgun: Speed and, anonymity. You need to be able to get with in ranged safely.
 
 Gallente Assaults do not have either without extensive (and really creative) modding. I've been stuck with the AR since Uprising and because I'm bored out of my mind with it have been desperately trying to use another Gallente weapon with it. I've tried. I still try. And as far as I can tell it just doesn't work.
 
 So do you guys know something I don't or is the fact that it's a Gallente weapon just coerce you into using it as support in your arguments for that bonus?
 
 We are going to be seeing a lot of heavies come 1.8, and I'm telling you that a shotty assault is going to come in very handy indeed. Hint: remember all those moments where your ar suit turned a corner and hello heavy <10m? Yep. Shotgun.

 I don't see how someone could really be ok with their assault suit only having a bonus to one weapon.
 3 weapons AR has a pretty wide kick and dispersion at hipfire makes it nearly unreliable at longer stand off ranges along with the climb that does eventually interfere with prolonged firing.  Shotgun gains majority advantage by placing more of the damage in a tighter hole Then the ion pistol with its backscatter and kick being high.  
 Here I have to disagree the AR has already little to no dispersion and kick thanks to operating and SS skill, sure you could maybe skip the SS skill but not the opration skill.
 
 The SG has the worst skilltree of all weapons, SG's rely on spread and alpha damage. Therefore the operation skill makes the SG weaker (and the assault bonus willas well) and the proficiency bonus is fairly weak compared to ALL the other prof skills. IMHO the SG works best with no SP investment and maybe a damage mod. Seriously it's a SG not a Laser Rifle
  whoever thought spread reduction on a SG is a great idea needs a serious lessen in SG's. 
 Now to the speed thing its still stupid that gallente suits have the same speed like caldari suits sure you can boost sprint speed with kincats but thats it and thats only because of module use any suit can use kincats and thanks to stacking penalties using more than two is a waste of CPU/PG compared to the reached benefit.
 
 The same is true for stealth as ALLsuits of the same framesize have the same scanprofile, sure the gallente scout gets a boost to scan through his skill but all other suits have the same scanprofile like their racial counterparts.
