Without going into complete details with examples that one could find on their own, I have spent a couple hours focusing on the Caldari Sentinel and it's possible loadouts... Ranging from task specific loadouts, to playstyle/general combat variations.
At first glance, I saw great potential here... but then...
The issue that I found with this dropsuit, is that it has way to much PG, and not enough CPU.
With the 4 High slots and one Low slot:
Around 50% of loadouts - will be forced to give up the low for a CPU upgrade and still not have enough in a few variations...
resulting in wearing standard / advanced gear in most of the proto suit.
OR
leaving slots open; typcially being the nade and sidearm + 1 high - or two high slots with standard nade / sidearm.
The other 50% of loadouts will not use a CPU upgrade:
Without the cpu upgrade, the entire suit besides 3 modules OR 2 modules + a weapon will be advanced gear.
Now obviously, most suits even when fully upgraded CPU and PG reduction skills are in place either have a shortage of CPU OR PG with the opposite within about 80-100% used.
Regardless, there will always be tradeoffs to advanced gear SOMEWHERE in the suit... and occasionally even having an empty slot.
The issue is that the 4 High slots on the Heavy have no PG heavy modules that can be used... Resulting in 50% to 70% PG useage on nearly every fitting.
There is no way to maximize this suit's slots, and it will nearly always result in the suit being a 3 high 1 low suit.
The easy fixes would be to switch the slot count to 3 2, or adjust the PG down, and increase the CPU up. (Or create a PG heavy dropsuit module...)
Please support this post with your opinions.

CPM and the Dev team is galletee Role players. Hell! They think the Forge gun is in a good spot for 1.8 and since they refuse and ignore to post hard stats on the Forge gun I want them to share whatever crap they are smoking.
Forge Changes needed Officer Splash 3.0, Proto 2.7 Advanced 2.5 Standard 2.1.
Original ROF needs to return!

Whaaat? No way to maximize its slots? CPU upgrade? Not have enough CPU? Whaaaaaaat?

I really don't know where you got the idea that you have to fit a CPU upgrade on the suit or you can't maximize its potential, but you're quite wrong, as I've just demonstrated. |

Have you tried the breach recently? You'd be surprised what you and another player can do. You also only need one forge to take on an ADS. I really don't see why people are complaining as much as they are. |
