Question: people on this thread have been talking about the racial bonus. I've been taking a much needed break from Dust, so i am not sure what that means. The commando suit gives a dmg bonus for explosive weapons (like MD and SL), but people are talking about the CR being awesome on this suit, but I can't see the CR being classified as an explosive weapon. So, my questions are what is the weapon 'racial bonus' and if that bonus is something other than the commando suit bonus, what weapons do min suits get this bonus for? Thanks!

The minmatar also gets projectile bonus' for the Cr

got it, thanks.

Realized afterward that racial bonus refers to the suit bonus for the race (versus the universal suit bonus). Been too long since I played last. Thanks for answering the noob question.

How similar in style/range/dmg is the CR to AR? I've been an AR user since I strtd playing in 1.3. If the CR is at all similar to the AR, I cld see how the CR/MD combo would be awesome. I'd tank shields and just let the suit racial bonus be my two comp dmg mods.

Chief-Shotty WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL Top Men. 132	Posted - 2014.03.29 21:54:00 - [31] - Quote I run nothing but Minmatar. Everything about the race just fits my style of battle. The min commando isn't bad. In fact, I've gone 36-1 in some matches with an advanced min commando with Combat Rifle and Mass Driver combo....the LOL 's you get when you mass drive a cloaked scout. I admit the min suits sacrifice so much tank for, to be honest a very nil movement advantage that is easily overcome by kincats on other suits. However, you don't have to fit anything for that natural speed, leaving slots for other things. Min suits across the board should have more speed or more regenerative properties then other suits. Heck Min suits should have more slots to fit as compensation as well. Commando's do really gain an advantage when using its racial weapon so its only natural that since i specced into combat rifle and mass driver; I picked the suit to best use those weapons. and it even gets a damage bonus as a perk. However, its not mandatory you can fit whatever weapon you want and it can work, you just don't get damage bonuses. I actually have used the plasma cannon on it as an AV fit. Commando Reload FTW The min suits are not meant to sustain front to front combat. You need to move shoot and move again. Always finding angles that give you an advantage. If you start taking too much fire....YOU GET OUTTA THERE simple as that. NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. TL;DR MIn suits are for flanking Everything else is for tanking Racial Weapon on Racial Commando is useful but not mandatory 8-Time New Eden Mass Driver Champion Min Commando Combat Rifle and Mass Driver = FUN and Tears OMG the Tears!! :)

I have checked by firing 1 volley of swarms at an installation with both Min commando suit and also from a different suit without bonuses. Min Com leaves 2404 armour left, just swarms leaves 2556 armour.

Sure it helps in survival but if the enemy is so dug in due to the inability to capture, you have lost the match. The research facility 'pit' has driven me nuts as I haul ass the moment i hit the ground, whereas everyone 'cept for my squad is dawdling around Favoring High Latency Is Sh*t

I like the CR as it is more KBM friendly. The AR has more spread than the shotgun when using KBM in my opinion Favoring High Latency Is Sh*t

The EHP looks rather low compared to the other suits, for a slight increase in speed, and trying to fit proto kincats with two light weapons seams like a chore, the PG seams a little low for a suit designed to run two light weapons, and a pg expansion is defiantly out of the question with only 1 low slot till proto. I see no option but two shield extenders on the highs, where as a galente or caldari could go for a damage mod with a much greater natural tank with a nice amount of slots for versatility, and seams like it could outclass the minmatar suit even with the explosive weaponry, never mind the blaster tech. Anyone else thinking our beloved rusted duck tape covered dropsuits might be outclassed again? Use a Plasma Cannon if you are having PG problems :) FORGE/FLAYLOCK/FISTS--NUFF SED YOU SHALL NOT CATCH ME FOR I AM THE GINGERBREAD FATMAN -Romulus H3X

The AR has more spread than the shotgun when using KBM in my opinion I tried KBM last night for the first time. I've never played a FPS using KBM, but since I've used a mouse all day at work for the last 15 years, I figured it would be better for aiming than the DS3. I was horrible at KBM. I can see how aiming would be easier; despite my complete lack of experience, i was already by the second match getting better long distance aiming for the MD projectile than I ever got with the DS3, but movement was brutal. The mental switch from analog sticks to digital keys messed with my head. I imagine I would eventually get used to it, but after three matches I gave up. The learning curve to switch to KBM is too much for an online game, particularly one with mostly seasoned players in it. I need to find a FPS with PVE that supports KBM so I can dial back the difficulty while I fumble through the controls like a 2 year old learning to walk.

I think I am going to level into the MD, CR, and Min Commando suit, and leave my AR for my Dren logi suit (The Armor Rep bonus on the min logi suit just does not align with the flanking speed of the suit for me to level back into it for now).

COVERT SUBTERFUGE PSU GHOST SYNDICATE DARKSTAR ARMY 806	Posted - 2014.03.30 14:28:00 - [42] - Quote Minmatar Commando is awesome. Aside from having buffs to two awesome weapons, it has better speed...and that's usually where people stop the analysis. They forget though that the only suit that MATCHES the Min Sentinel and Commando stamina regen rate is the Amarr scout. Think about that for a second! I can't wait to spec fully into Min Commando. Min suits may not have the best stats for you @nal number crunchers but good gawd are the fun to play.
