Meee One Hello Kitty Commandos 664	Posted - 2014.04.02 01:21:00 - [1] - Quote This wouldn't effect their layout in anyway but +1 sidearm slot. They would have 1 light and 2 sidearm. The weapons would cycle through with the weapon swap button. Assaults are always QQing about versatility and this could create it. Just imagine... Cal assault RR main weapon Magsec sidearm Bolt pistol sidearm Crazy right? John 15:13-Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Patrick57 6553	Posted - 2014.04.02 01:27:00 - [6] - Quote No. Bad idea is bad. There are better ways to 'fix' Assaults other than giving them more weapons. I.e. give them more worthwhile bonuses, better slot layout, or more PG / CPU. When I'm depressed I cut myself.... a BIG SLICE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE

MINA Longstrike 2Shitz 1Giggle United Brotherhood Alliance 418	Posted - 2014.04.02 01:29:00 - [8] - Quote What if the generic 'assault' bonus was a 25% reload speed bonus? And commando's got the pg/cpu reduction instead (allowing them to do things like actually carry swarm launchers / plasma cannons)
Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens League of Infamy 963	Posted - 2014.04.02 01:29:00 - [9] - Quote That is a lot of extra PG/CPU wasted on a second sidearm. It is pointless as hell. Most of the time, my rail rifle is enough to kill people as is. When it doesn't, Mrs. Magsec picks up the slack. I have never thought "If only I had another one!" "People that quote themselves in signatures confuse me." -Joseph Ridgeson

It's an oversight obviously, but CCP hasn't done anything to address it yet. *FIRE UP THE HEAVY MEAT GRINDER! WE'RE HAVIN' CLONE BURGERS TONIGHT, BOYS!*

There are better ways to 'fix' Assaults other than giving them more weapons. I.e. give them more worthwhile bonuses, better slot layout, or more PG / CPU. This X1000. Be honest, how often do you use your sidearm over your main? In a firefight, you change to your sidearm if you are trading shots with another guy, or low on ammo on your main. This would do nothing really, unless you go back to pre-nerf flaylocks. I feel the commando bonus is misplaced. Heavies are for taking more damage, Assaults should be for DEALING more damage. That plus 2% should have been assault bonus, and the PG bonus should have gone to the suit that holds 2 main weapons, the commando. Both would have benefited. The respective bonuses for assault would have looked a lot better that way. The 2% damage bonus, in conjunction with the reload speed/dispersion bonuses would have been a fair counter to heavies and tanked cloak scouts. But no...and why didn't we get that? Because CCP Shanghai can't do what makes sense, and looking at the various numbers/stats, can't even do basic math. The best fanfest announcement that could possibly be made is CCP fired the ENTIRE shanghai team, and Iceland is taking TOTAL control.

Brokerib Lone Wolves Club 942	Posted - 2014.04.02 01:45:00 - [17] - Quote Second sidearm is relatively useless for an assault, but I wouldn't mind an additional grenade slot, especially considering the reduction in grandes carried numbers. Being able to decide between locus and flux, or always being able to carry AV would be quite versatile. Knowledge is power
Doctor Day THE SUPERHEROS 20	Posted - 2014.04.02 01:47:00 - [18] - Quote Well if they did,woudl they need to rename the Assault class "PowerRangers"??? Obvious troll is Obvious

To use it you'd have to put together the lightest fits ever. Bad idea. Fun > Realism

I'm pretty good at it, so I can feel when I'm about to overheat, so I switch to my sidearm to keep damage up, empty my clip, and hit quickswitch to get back to my OP SCR. ...and then i have another sidearm, WTF?

They were more feared than either Scouts or Sentinels now. The extra equipment slot at the time rendered Logi's completely obsolete. Assaults need serious tuning so they can do their role, CCP is working on it. I like these threads that throw ideas out there. This idea is great for three reasons: it gives a reason for increasing the CPU/PG, it plays off the Assault skill, and it doesn't force people in a direction thereby respecting the Sandbox mentality.
