Biggest mistake ever made in Dust thus far... spent nearly 2 million SP on Minmatar heavies and commandos. Anyone got a TARDIS I can borrow so I can go back in time an hour or so and kick myself in the nuts for buying a suit purely on aesthetics?
On another note, the fitting abilities of these things suck. My basic scout can fit more than an advanced commando or heavy.
At least the HMG is okay I suppose... *Sighs and returns to working on the event* Stupid Minmatar heavies and your stupid awesome looks...

Yea...Minmatar suits in general are in a really bad spot. CCP really needs to re-examine how all the minmatar suits work.

Let me tell you of the story about the game that caused me to be anxious about meeting Minmatar Commandos.
So, I was in this Domination with my G-I, which is the standard Gallente Commando. All was fine and dandy until I spotted a Minmatar Commando duck around a corner. "Oh, well, that's cool. Minmatar Commando. Haven't see one in the field yet." I thought to myself. A little bit later, I was rolling with three other blues up through a pathway. Someone was raining Mass Driver shots down where we were going. Killed one of the blues. Me, being in the G-I and built for a little more speed than the average Gallente Commando, just breezed through the explosions. I lived, but the two living blues had gave up going in the direction we were headed.
That's where it started to go downhill.
Unbeknownst to the blues, three reds come bounding around the corner. Whoever was using the MD continue to lay down suppressive fire, giving those two poor blues two choices: die in MD shots or face the reds and still die. Of course, the reds mowed them down. By then, I was already heading towards the bastard with the MD, flanking around. By time I got to where he was (supposedly), he was already gone. Originally, I had assumed it was a scout because of the speed. Possibly a mythical assault. I searched around the area and I couldn't find the person that was MDing. A little bit later, I actually caught up to the MDer. It was a goddamn Minmatar Commando built for speed.
How do I know, you ask?
I don't know if I somehow gave myself away, but he immediately started to run away. Goes around a corner. Of course, I didn't fully realize how fast he actually was. I get around the corner. I see him go around yet another corner. Naturally, me being cocky with my own Commando, decided it to be smart to follow. This ****** jumped over a rail, went all the way around, got back up to where I was, and shot me in the back with a CR. That's when I realized how he had built it. A flanker. A smart flanker. Using his speed to the fullest.
And yes, I did actually kill him. I managed to nail him with the Plasma Cannon at the end of the game, but that's it. I could never catch him. He was either always laying down MD or running flank routes. I'll never chase down a speed Minmatar Commando again, though that was admittedly one of the better Commandos I've ran into.

The thing is, I love the Minmatar scouts and assaults. Even if they're not as good fitting wise as other suits, I've enjoyed both for quite a long time. Had I just gone with the assault, I'd probably be a much happier camper right now. As is, I think I'm gonna go sob in a corner for awhile.

If you're attempting to use the Minmatar Heavy as the Gallente and Amarr heavies, then it simply won't work. Flank with speed and stamina. Also, use strafing to your advantage, as other heavies are slower. Do not engage heavies when they know of your presence, only when you have the advantage. Basically, think of it and use it as a scout. |

Min Commando has 150 stamina and 40 stamina regen (this rate is matched only by the Amarr scout). That's not bad!
Min heavy frame looks badass too and the CR & MD are awesome weapons. Don't feel bad about it.
Minmatar suits are all fun as hell to play. Can't stand the lacking mobility of other suits now.

Thanks CCP for making the HMG Heavy viable again :3
That's no excuse to slack off on releasing a heavy laser though =.=

OR maybe JUST maybe the Minmatar suits aren't meant to be built with ZOMGZ I HAVE SO MUCH FLIPPIN HEALTH!!!!aaa!! Just bc you are only worried about Max HPs doesn't make a suit junk. I'm glad Minis are where they are, you actually how to use something different then "brick tanking" which IMO is for noobs.

Okay, three things, seeing as I'm assuming you're assuming that I simply want to brick tank the thing...
1: I don't brick tank, not my thing. I was hoping to fit this thing with shield rechargers/regulators, but the fitting ability on it is crap.
2: I'm starting to realize that two complex kincats on an advanced heavy can work, it's far from ideal though.
3: I'm used to running scouts and assaults, not heavies, thus I'm not adjusted to the lack of speed as of yet.
Perhaps once I actually start using light weapons instead of sidearms again, I might see something that the commandos are good at, but for now, all I'm seeing is a suit that I'm regretting putting SP into, though more than anything, I'm regretting my urge to get something new instead of simply waiting for awhile to buy something that I really liked or need (Like a few more core skills, or a Minmatar assault)

I don't know why someone else's pain would make me feel better, but I'm glad you're enjoying your new suit. ^_^
