I play on the pub servers with an Advanced Minmatar suit but want to drop some SP into a prototype logi suit in case I want to play PC with a corp. Since I've only played on the pubs and with the 1.8 respec in mind, I was hoping to get some feedback on which racial suit to go with:
- Is the Gallente's built-in armor self-repair bonus worth it with a proto suit? I will really miss having that bonus with the Minmatar suit (which offers the best balance and number of high, low and equipment slots at the advanced level). Since proto suits have higher armor levels and the Gallente's bonus is only going to be stuck at 2HP/sec, is that really relevant during PC play?
- Is the Caldari nanite/supply bonus really a game changer if CCP is nerfing the nanohives? I'm not sure how resupply works in coordinated team play. In the pubs, I'll just run around and follow groups of people, randomly resupplying and repairing people if I see a need. But usually only have a K-2 nanohive and can only drop two - when I'm out, I take off and find the nearest supply depot to restock. Not sure if that's an option if I have teammates that I need to stick with.
- There was a comment that in PC, uplinks are everything but is the Amarr bonus enough to offset the lack of additional high and equipment slots at the proto level?
- Is the AR still an effective weapon for a loggie? I'm kinda choked because I didn't know there were actual range tables available for weapons...I heard about them but the in-game weapon descriptions don't have the optimal/effective/max ranges and ended up dumping 1 million SP into them. Didn't realize that what I thought was harassing / supporting fire at range was actually pointless - bullets didn't reach what I was trying to hit. I though the AR would be a good bread-and-butter weapon but didn't realize that it's range was so short compared to a scrambler rifle or rail rifle.
- Do I need to be able to run full proto suits/gear/weapons to be competitive in PC? Even if I got a 1 million SP bonus from the clone contest, I'm still about 1.2 million SP away from just upgrading the suit alone. I'm still running advanced equpment, modules and weapons. Note that I'm only a casual player, I can't go crazy and commit full-time to this game. (I was kinda frustrated with it and stopped playing it for a few months because it was so buggy before).
Thanks, any feedback is appreciated. |

Thanks for the feedback. I have about 12 million SP but a good portion is not dedicated to logi skills or the right weapon for PC (oh well, so much for the 1 million in AR rifles...).
I just found out about the Learning Coalition...even though I've had a character for a year, it's mostly me earning passive SP or piddling around in public matches, without any real team play. I'll prolly respec into the Amarr logi suit and then learn the ropes through the Learning Coalition for PC play, if I can get in.
Thanks everyone! |

Hey, thanks again. I vaguely remember reading that a long time ago, it was a good read again. Wish I had the SP to spend on all four racial drop suits but I think I'll be going with Amarr this time (at least to start). |
