So I'm working late tonight doing mindless, repetitive actions trying to get two numbers to match... This got me thinking.
Are there any other dedicated minmatar assaults out there? It's very rare that I see anyone that looks like me. You see my love for this suit and general speed / spray and pray tactics pretty much exceeds my love for dust. Am I crazy? Maybe it's because I have have an eye patch or maybe it's the sweet backpack that I store my sweet Matari things in.
Anyway I wanted to search for other minmatar assault enthusiasts... Possibly start one of those toolish minmatar assault registry things.
Feel free to place your praises and general hatred for everything amarr below.
Oh and if you are like me and want to run about spraying and praying with SMGs and whatnot, feel free to add me so we can squad up. |

Yeah! Message me if you need some fitting advice or wanna squad up. I really want to see what a coordinated guerilla warfare style min assault squad could do. |

We make do with our two lows.. Here's the secret to minmatar IMO. We are weak alone but strong in numbers. Put some armor on and don't worry about armor rep. Every minmatar should carry a rep tool to help out fellow minmatar bros. Although the cloak is an interesting idea for the suit.
Edit: Ahh I've run into you before dunk. You were a min assault vet like me. I think I recall having a core flaylock vs Duvolles duel with you way back (post flaylock nerf). I'm sad to hear you left the suit and became a dirty amarr though. 1.8 actually made the suit much better with the increased stamina and weapon fitting bonus. |

I'm currently running one enhanced plate and a CPU enhancer to buff my shields through the roof. Plus the CPU makes core locus and core rep tool possible as well. Pretty much my pro suit has everything maxed out except for the plate... Complex plates suck. |

Its ******* kick ass The saving to system requirements for weapons allows me to max out its protection and run the best combo of sidearm and primary. The number of times enemies have flanked my position and expected my LR / MD fit to be weak in direct combat only to find I have a beastly SMG for backup with 100 rounds in the mag Being able to flank a position and take down up to 7+ people with just a weapon swap and no reload is immense. The stamina recovery allows me to run up to a position, make a quick assessment and have the stamina to either push the advantage or fall back. This makes it far far more survivable than my logi, even with about 100-200 extra hp (don't ask me how, maybe they just pick on the yellow guys ) I do really miss the 4 shot mag flaylock though. Didn't help but it was cool to have. I still have one on my ACR fit, largely cus a SMG doesn't really add much to that primary (apart from ammo pool). Does surprise the occasional scout though, lol.
That's what I'm talking about.

We should all squad up. Im pretty sure a squad of well fit min assaults is unstoppable. No other suit could keep up.

Currently I am running an enhanced armor plate and a cpu upgrade. The cpu allows me to fit really nice weapons, a good repair tool, and three complex shield extenders. totals in around 680 eHP. Ive found moar hp is better in 1.8 to deal with heavies and scouts from every direction.

You should make a channel.
Sounds like a good idea. I am open to suggestion for names. Maybe it open it up to all minmatar fans. I'll edit the OP.
Please contribute some names if you think you've got a good one.

It got a little better. We make up for it with speed and stamina.

OK
1. The suit doesn't suck. 2. How dare you insult the min assault. 3. I'll help you fit it better if you want. 4. How dare you insult the min assault.

I-Shayz-I wrote:I really want to make the minmatar assault work but I don't like shields
I dual tank my minmatar logi because I can't just rely on my shields. Then again I have never shield tanked such an agile suit.
I can never figure out if it is better to run 500+ total shields or have 30+ shield regen...
Well... The simple answer is, you can't. You can get 478 shield with 37 regen. You can also get 550 if you stack all extenders. This number is the highest shield you can get on a assault (tied with Caldari). Not sure if the cal logi can beat that now. My current set up something like this.
4 complex shield extenders 1 basic shield extender 1 plate (any kind) 1 armor rep
I really like the reactive because it has a very low speed penalty and gives repairs. If you want to completely shield tank it you can go with...
5 complex extenders (or 4 with a shield recharger / enigizer) A regulator CPU upgrade.
Really depends on your play style. Recently I just like to run away and wait a little longer for the shields to come back. It's pretty easy with the awesome stamina the suit has.

CRNWLLC wrote:I'm just getting into the assault role and am skilling both Cal and Min assault to level 3 (I'll use AUR to play around with proto suits on rare occasions). I chose to get the Cal assault to advanced first, simply because I find that at this point, with my current gun game, the extra EHP is more helpful than the ridiculous stamina/regen the Minnie suit has. However, reading this thread, it's obvious I'm doing it wrong. I'll get the Min suit to advanced stat (after I get complex shield extenders in a couple days) and will not be afraid to run away. (Dunno why this never occurred to me--again, I'm learning the assault role ATM, so this is sort of revelatory for me--I usually run scout, so GTFO is my motto. Good to know it applies to assaults as well! ) Seems like I'd do well to skill MDs and CRs to advanced, too, though for some reason I can't stop my love affair with the AR--maybe it's cuz she's so easy? . Anyway, I'm glad I'll have options, since I was mainly interested in a shield tanking assault. One way, I'll have a fair amount more EHP, the other I will be Usain Bolt. Let the good times roll! I would love to squad up with any folks on the Min assault channel--I definitely trust the rust, but not myself. Teach me to be a savage, tetanus-giving cheeetah!
Well if you are familiar with the scout, switching to min assault shouldn't be a big change. The play style is similar, kill a few and gtfo. The AR is still a pretty good choice but it struggles to finish enemies due to recent armor craze and it's lower damage to armor. Really the combat rifle is the best for the min assault, cheap to fit and you get the bonus to the clip. I will add you and show you the minmatar way
