Well, I made a nice post yesterday(1), but you lovely forum people hijacked the $hit out of it telling me I was wrong, trying to nerf the class, its not hit and run enough, blah ****ing blah. I admit, I screwed up, didnt present all the evidence, so, I apologize for that. Pretty much every forum post that exists I've read, i just assumed everyone saw all of it. So, here it goes.
Due to the increase in Mass Driver Damage(2) coming in 1.8, it has been stated that game design is considering removing the +1 to clip size on Explosive weapons from the Min Assault Bonus (3). And, while I can't find the Blue Tag post, I nicely enough got a response from Saberwing via the Twitter that Game Design was thinking this, but, its not official yet (4).
In the event this is true, however, I'd like to gauge peoples opinion of adding in a +1 to Ammo Capacity for Explosive weapons per level. I went through a whole lot of match explaining the major benefits behind this and how it would 'even' out the Ammo Capacity Skill on the MD (every other gun gets at least a full clip (minus Specialist Shotgun) from lvl 5, but the Mass Driver only gets 5 (so 5/6 for Vanilla/Breach, 5/8 for Assault) but it would be more comparable with Max Ammo Capacity and Max Min Assault Bonus.
I don't how to do your big city fancy red letter links, so here is each link for what I talked about. Thoughts?

honestly, giving mass drivers 11 rounds a clip (with or without the damage increase proposed) will see more mass drivers, an indirect buff to shield tanking (70% from explosives will come in handy when indoors), and explosive spam. the only upside is the very small ammo cap, and the weakened nanohives. right now i see a massive increase in min assault just from the combat rifle buff. maybe replace with something else for explosives(ammo cap bonus, radius?) |

I'm very happy, that they reconsider the Min Assault bonus!
In my opinion a rate of fire bonus would be optimal, closely followed by a ammo pool bonus.
Splash radius bonus is a no no, since it's a double edged sword, and would only benefit the roof spammers.
If you want to use the MD in CQC, you already have diffuculties to not damage yourself.
A third viable variant would be DIRECT Damage increase, because it would reward the players with good aim, for hitting targets directly. A seasoned operater knows where to hit the weak spots of the suits...
This would at the same time decrease spam amount, since you would be rewarded for careful aligning of shots.
Increasing clip size over 8 is a bad Idea and I'm glad theY're rethinking this bonus.
ps. I'm a dedicated masshole since open beta, and am considering to switch from min logi to min assault after 1.8 comes out.
cheers

I'm happy that Minmatar is finally getting a little bit of love, I might actually have a reason to dust off the old assault suit again other than ***** and giggles, but the explosive +1 clip/lvl could really be overdoing it. Sure I would love to have 8 rounds to quick fire in my Flaylock (Might actually make it somewhat useful again, pending changes in 1.8), but it could ultimately break explosives and create the old explosions everywhere (EXPLOSIONS!!!!) kind of spam that we had pre MD nerf.
I really hope that the Minmatar assault + MD or CR doesn't become a FOTM kinda thing because those of us who have been running Minmatar assaults throughout all the nerfs and craptastic changes that they have done to our suits (And have adapted, and can now compete in our gimped suits) will be grouped into the rest of the FOTM crowd.
Flame me, hate on me, call me a FOTM chaser if you will, but regardless of what changes come in 1.8, I'm still running full Minmatar everything, I've been doing it since the suits were released, doing well with a clearly underpowered suit compared to the rest of their class, and wanted full Minmatar since before we even had the option.
Minmatar Assault, Logi, and Scout before 1.8, before it was cool.
I am here to ask you one question, and one question only: EXPLOSIONS?
THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES! APOLOGIZE!
