You see, Minmatar Crusader sounds weird but Amarr Marauder sounds even weirder. I agree with above that Technician or Commander would be better (though Commander could be confused with Commando)

Would work in theory if we didn't have a Commander suit in concept. Crusader leads the squad and provides buffs/hexes to friendlies and enemies whereas the Commander oversees the entire battle from the MCC.

Technician, maybe - but it kinda sounds like it would be doing what the Logistics does and might confuse newer players.

Hrmm... Brigadier? Not sure, drawing a blank on a good name for a squad leader role =P

Well considering that it doesn't have to be a squad leader who uses that suit, it could always be called a Tactician Dropsuit. We haven't really used that word much in Dust so it should be free.

If not that, I'd go with Controller like one of the guys here suggested. Big smile

I'd like being called a "Troll."

Crusader is used with religious groups as soldiers of some sort. A Gallente or Minmatar Crusader sounds weird. Anyways. Would the Crusader Suit still be viable? The suit was designed to be worn by squad leaders on the field and give AoE bonuses to their squad mates. With it you could say, boost your team's repair rate whenever they're around you. You can relate each bonus to a specific race of course. It's been so long since I've heard about it. Makes me think CCP either forgot about it or really put it on the back burner. Maybe after 1.8 we can have more specialized suits come in, including the Crusader. I'm also worried if the Crusader suit will just make balancing more difficult. What do you guys think? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Is it viable? If you could decide the squad bonuses , what would they be? "There once was a time when there wasn't a Roy Ventus and it wasn't much of a time at all."

Although it'd have the unfortunate effect of increasing squad-stomping, it presents an excellent target to go for to help crush a squad. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 6894	Posted - 2014.02.26 19:38:00 - [5] - Quote Agree that Crusader always sounded like a poor choice for class name. But I don't think the balancing would be too rough at all. The Crusader will provide these buffs to nearby friendlies making them better than you can otherwise make a fit (or anti-buffs to enemies), but the Crusader itself will be weaker than your average fit. Identify and target the Crusader and get on your way. What I question is how many people would actually want to run the Crusader suit. I probably would and I know a lot of others would probably say the same, but in practice would they really want to be running around in a gimped suit while everyone around them get all the kills and points and such?

So call it a Command suit. Not commander, that implies the guy in charge of the whole team. Like the fleet commander wouldn't be the guy in the command ship. But, it is CCP. They named a heavy suit with two weapons a Commando. That is the very opposite of what a commando is. A commando would rightly be a light suit with dual wield (akimbo) capability. Also, I am offended by the word Commando. A commando killed my family. Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!

It's often a title with the highest being dun-da-da-dun, The Commander-in-Chief. But the more I think about it, the more I would like for their to be something very much like what EVE has when it comes to bonuses. Squad Commander Skills, Field Commander Skills, and Planetary Commander Skills or of course other names that would work well. Think I might make an idea thread about it.

OIC and Platoon leader in my squad. We successfully defended that bunker for 15 minutes after every other bunker had fallen on the map. The enemy Platoon leader finally Precisioned us out of it. They would place the charges on, I'd hop out and stop them in roughly a second due to the AoE buffs and my skill set. Best part, I was friends with some of the enemy, the Platoon Leader in particular. She was raging so hard because they couldn't stop us. So, yes, I would like the Crusader suit to be released, eventually. Along with a Grenadier. And an Engineer (Drones). xSivartx is my Heavy. There are many like him, but he is my own... So, other Logi's back off, those are my Warpoints!

I'd love if each Crusader, I'll be calling it the Tactician suit from here on, had a racial bonus to a certain aspect of HP. The Amarr Tactician would pass out Armor resistance, Gallente would pass out Armor Rep, Caldari would pass out Shield HP buffs, while Minmatar would pass out Shield Resistance. With a general bonus to CPU and PG for Tactician Modules Make them a medium frame with a little health but enough slots to match a top tier ADV assault suit. Give me cool Tactician Modules as well: 1. Decreasing Reload Speed of hostiles 2. Increasing Reload Speed of squad 3. Increase Passive Scan duration 4. Decrease Enemy's Passive Scanning Ability 5. Stamina Regeneration Increase 6. Stamina Drain 7. Increase Optimal Range by a small amount 8. Decrease enemy Optimal Range by a small amount 9. Increase Damage Amount 10. Decrease Damage Amount 1-2 being focused on Minmatar, 3-4 for Gallente, 5-6 for Amarr, and 7-8 for Caldari. 9-10 being in general. This is all lore wise.
