I'm just gonna put this here

Suggested Speed Changes

Amarr are better in the heavy classes not the scout class, balance and all that.

You sort of have to go back to Eve to figure out why Minni scouts would make "better" scouts (in your example). Minmatar are all about speed. Look at the ships in Eve and you'll see this.

Now, look at the LARGE ships in eve. Where speed doesn't matter. Minni has some lacking features.

Point is, in the scout class of suits if "speed is king" then Minmatar SHOULD be hailed to.

I agree that 30 hp is nothing. Even a complex shield extender is nothing. The way the game is right now, whoever does the more damage wins.... I also never understood why an enhanced armor plate gives you 110 hp and a complex gives 135 hp ( just 25 more hp) but the CPU and PG doubles. One single bullet does more than 25 hp of damage!!!! That is why the game is so unbalanced!! I think I went a little of track here, sorry

COUGH DAMPS COUGH COUGH COUGH
COUGH RANGE COUGH COUGH COUGH
COUGH ULITMATE SCANNING SUIT COUGH COUGH.

Are you driving that race car through a warzone where a big glowing blue light could mean your instant demise?

If so, then maybe you'll want that Bulletproof glass.

Yeah.

I had mixed feelings on the whole idea of an "assault logi" to begin with. Is their Assault not Assault enough? Does the race need a logi that half-asses the role? The "assault" element turned out to mean "add sidearm" and "get equipment slots later and have fewer slots overall". Super. The shifts on the Sentinel/Heavy suits already call to mind questions of why exactly the Amarr medium will be shorted a slot now. At least it's still two equipment slots.

An "assault scout" that has more hp and assault-level speed is just asinine though. It's about as useful as male nipples. Scouts need to be scouts. I'd gladly give up the natural stamina advantage and 30 hp to actually be a GODDAMN scout. Jesus... I feel like CCP went fullretard deciding to apply "LOL, SLOWER & PLUS HP" to everything Amarr.

Wanna hear something lulzy? They're introducing new MLT frames for the missing suit types I assume.

So... Fossil Logistics.

It's a Minmatar MLT suit with Assault HP and Speed, but 2 equip slots. So, There's a "Low-level" Minmatar Assault that'll run faster than the Amarr Light, have more hp, and have 2 equip slots. Pretty groovy, right?

Seriously though. If they knocked off the hp and added to the speed, I might actually use the Amarr Scout. Otherwise it's basically the death/gimpsuit.

maybe you amarr scum will get a taste of how it feels to be the shittiest suit in the game for a change

wait until it comes out before you make judgements on the suits. 'nuff said.

with all this whining though, i'll probably get my gallentean sentinel by mid-april . and im pretty sure they want feedback on the topic regarding the stats. not your own topic.

Yes, and those base Assault Level Speed is getting reduced by the assault suit stacking plates.

THe Scout is still ok suit if it's Combat fitted.

+Faster Then Assault of similar level
+Smaller Hitbox
+People expecting Super Squisy +50s

-Less HP then the Assault of Similar Level
-Slower then what it could be
-Light on fitting resources

Gallente scout is also better at assaulting than caldari assault. Lulz. Dat 30 hp/s shield regen.

Dust is very much work in progress.

wrong. they adjusted the base stamina from where it was before. 225 to 275.

Maybe someone needs to make a video when 1.8 is released showing just how bad it is. The problem of course is finding someone dumb enough to p*ss away enough SP to to proto out the Amarr scout.

Amarr Scout being slightly slower than Minmatar Assault isnt the end of the world.

It has significantly more stamina and higher stamina regen and 4 Lows. It can use twin Kin Cats and always be better than the Minnie Assault over distance (which will be short for the assault).
- That goes quite well with smaller hitbox, dampening, cloak, range etc

I don't know where you guys are coming up with this logic that Amarr are about speed. They never have been. They never will be. Amarr are about thick brick tanks on slow ships. Speed order in Eve is Minmatar > Gallente > Caldari > Amarr. Amarr philosophy is about sustain. In Eve that's accomplished through bonuses to capacitor, armor damage resistances and enough lows to fit a solid buffer tank. Dust accomplishes this trick with many lows for a thick armor tank and enough stamina (and stam regen) to be able to sprint longer/farther, making up some of the loss of innate speed the plates give you.

Although, I think it's cute that you cherry picked the Interceptors to make your speed argument. Anyone who has ever played Eve knows that Amarr ships are armor tanked, which reduces speed. They have a very low-slot-heavy allocation, so the speed is there to make up for the fact that Interceptors are supposed to be fast, and yet Amarr should fit armor plates that'll slow you down. So, really, before you go cherry pick the "perfect" example of something that really doesn't apply, do your research first.

The Light Frames are the fastest suits in the game, finding themselves at home flanking, harassing and generally causing mayhem on the battlefield.

I understand why the speed bothers you but the minassault is only marginally faster than the amar scout, it has 35 less armor and 55 more ehp at base levels.
I stacked some complex ferroscale plates and complex extenders on an amarr scout and a minassault, the scout had more ehp, better regen, similar speed and a smaller hitbox. it's better at assaulting than the minmatar assault suit.

I think the amarr scout should be faster too, but lets not act like it isn't better than the minmatar assault.
