I imagine the Pilot suits will have less speed than scouts, less stamina, higher profile, lower HP, no light weapon slot, only one equipment module (1.8 scouts have two) and only zero to two modules.
Still a better Assault than the Minmatar Assault.
Anybody else plan to run Pilot suits on the ground, without a vehicle?

Considering they are suits built to interface with vehicles, yeah id assume they can do just about **** all outside a vehicle. I plan on picking them up when and if MTAC's are released. |

Think scout with less modules, less speed, and no stealth.
It will be utter crap

They should be bright orange jump suits with no high or low slots and just a side-arm and 1 equipment slot for a repair tool.

I'd take a sidearm with no high or low slots in return for two equipment slots: uplink and repair tool. Smart pilots drop an uplink before they call in their vehicle and shield vehicle drivers need that repair tool to fix it up. Unless, of course, there are dropsuit modules that affect vehicles.

less CPU/PG because its meant to operate out of a self powered vehicle.
it should also have a lower scan profile, lower scan radius and lower scan precision, as well as slightly less tank than its racial light stable brothers.
run/sprint speed between a scout and medium suit.
IMHO >.< :P

That's been there for many months. I've made multiple threads asking CCP for a timeline about when we'll get more vehicle related stuff, to no avail. Then I come on here and see 2 people that don't tank make threads about the pilot suits.
So my assumption was they just put something out about the pilot suits.
No reason to be an ass to me.

Oh, I didn't mean it like that. I was just pointing something out.
Also that reminds me,

yes, but only if the pilot suits look good.
That's also how I'm going to pick my future scout suit to spec into.

Poorly. Think light frame, but worse.
I'm thinking it'll have a sidearm and if it has high and low slots, they'll be vehicle oriented. Also, no equipment. Why would they need one inside a vehicle? Only one I can think of is a rep tool. |

Well I totally agree that an pilot suit should not be use for any type of fight I get that so lets see the up side of this. How about faster call in for vehicles and recall values. AND this one I like alot no one can hack an tank OR Drop ship unless in a pilot suit wich also means no other team mate can drive them also since I can not go to war with out an vehicle. Also with this some type of upgrade to race specific Vehicle shield/armour/speed

I would imagine it would have next-to-no HP, no module slots, and only allow a sidearm to be fit.
Its utility would likely come from specialized equipment, or just from bonuses.

This. A pilot that ejects over enemy territory is in some deep sh*t. You have a 9mm pistol, 2 magazines, a knife, flares and smoke, a radio, a Capri sun worth of water, and 5 lbs of whatever stuff you want to bring with you (and can fit).
The suit is going to be what connects you to your vehicle. Basically a harness that connects you to the cockpit so you stay in there securely.
The pilot suit should definitely be restricted to sidearm only. Pistol really since you can't fit anything bigger than that in a cockpit, but some racial sidearms are SMGs so I guess SMGs will have to be allowed. As someone pointed out, the vehicle IS your weapon.
You shouldn't get any modules...they are all now burning in the smoking hole that was formerly your weapon. If there's any benefit, the scan profile should be low, so you can do what downed pilots do: evade and hope for rescue, or work your way back to friendly territory.

It will suck at infantry combat... Which is what I will use it for.
It is hard to improve your game if you consistently rely on something external that is removed from your own skill.

Without a set of specific modules the pilot suit is useful only for its bonus and of course i would never use it to fight as infantry if not forced.
1.8 it's so secret that nobody know what will be in it, even after patch notes...

You do bring up a great point will be a great training tool, if all you have is a sidearm and minimal shield/armor it will force you to fight better. |

There will never be a pilot suit with the current imbalance betwheen vehicles and AV, since it would make it even more unbalanced.
Implementing the pilot suit is old news, it won't come anytime soon. It would be OK to bring it, if all vehicles would be nerfed to a point, where the pilot suit would bring one of the variables back to current stats. So if the pilot suit gives you module cooldown bonuses, these would be brought back to current stats, but not improved above current stats. Similar to the nerfs to equipment for logis with the racial buffs in 1.8.
If they put in pilot buffs on top of the current broken vehicle AV balance, the game would just be unplayable for infantry... |

I'd say it would be similar to the scout we have now but may lose a couple of slots and a weapon slot. And hopefully it will be bright red or something. |

It should have a bonus to sidearms.
Think guunslinger, or the skyjockey class from conker live and reloaded.
Basically they can't carry a light weapon but they dual wield pistols.
You're thinking the complete opposite though. These guys should be almost impossible to detect in the first place, but have almost no health and no modules slots that going head to head would be a really bad idea.
Basically a ditch and run suit. You eject from your vehicle, run away and hide, call in another one. Or the perfect suit to hide behind a wall with until your vehicle has been deployed, then sprint as fast as you can to your vehicle.
I honestly think they're waiting to put the pilot suits in the game until they've brought in racial versions of the exisiting vehicles. Why have an amarr pilot suit when you have no amarr vehicles?
