Just wanted to let ya know something OP.
You've mentioned more than once in this thread that sentinels only role should be CQC point defense.
The Scrambler Lance will be saying you are incorrect. |

CCP Rattati wrote:Interesting ideas by OP
I am not a developer nor game designer, I am just a player so take these thoughts as such
1. I have thought that too, but have imagined that fitting penalties for "non core" weapons would be smart, not locking options just making them a little harder to fit
1b. Maybe the sentinel could only use heavy, but commando anything
2. of course, it's a bug
3. I would go as far as to say we use stacking penalties too seldomly, stacking basic plates over actually advanced and complex is something that shouldn't pay off, imo.
4. I can say that I no longer feel my duvolle is competitive, but it's still viable if I pick my fights and optimize for my effective range. I like that I can't charge heavies and pump headshots into them any more though.
5. not a tanker, but generally feel that jack of all trades should be proper jacks, reward specialization
6. I would love to make the PLC a viable AV weapon without making it OP against infantry. A skillshot weapon against infantry definitely, it is my favorite weapon through thick and thin
;-; You admitted to the Duvolle not being competitive. *faints*

I do not recall ever saying that their only role should be CQC point defense. That is the role in which they currently excel, it's true, but I don't remember ever saying that, at least not in this thread.
And I do certainly hope more heavy weapons are introduced. Hopefully shortly after FF2014.

1. This will destroy the whole "modularity" this game was based on. Do you want sidearms to be locked to sidearm slots as well?
2. The problem is that there is an instant switch from cloak to weapon and a delay in animation. Personally, I only want the decloak sound to be amplified tenfold, but I guess a 1sec or so delay in decloaking would pacify you.
3. Hardeners suck now and repairs, plates, and extenders don't have stacking penalties. Perhaps something should be done about repairs, but that's the real issue, not stacking penalties.
4. I don't think a 5% decrease to shield damage will do much.
5. It can function as both, but I agree it's AI capabilities need looked at. Reduce effective range to 50-75m and increase dispersion and it should be fine.
4b. Honestly, I think the PlC is fine. Sure, it's not a very practical weapon compared to the CR or HMG, but I just see it as a fun weapon that adds diversity to an otherwise monotonous gameplay. Same with the MD and other such weapons, they're not as versatile or effective as other weapons, but they either have a niche or some mechanic that makes them unique. Do you really see yourself carrying even your ideal PlC into a PC battle? 1. I respectfully disagree, and no I do not want sidearms locked to the sidearm slots. I think that locking heavy weapons to H slots will force heavies back into the role their suit was meant to fulfill originally and prevent scrubs from using an HP deficit of ~800+ to pad their k/d and act as a cushion for their lack of gun game. It will prevent individuals from rolling a suit that is meant to be a close-range slayer into a RR-wielding behemoth that has a massive advantage (strictly in the form of HP and resistances) over nearly every suit in the game except cloaked shotgun scouts. I really do think it will improve the game experience without hurting modularity one bit. You want to run a light weapon on a heavy? Run a Commando, that's what they were designed for. Gallente and Amarr Commandos can get a ton of HP as it is.
The suits role it was meant to fulfill originally. Prevent scrubs from using a suit meant to be a close range killer.
1st page. There's similar comments throughout that seem to dictate you feel the suit should only be close range.
It may not be what you are trying to say, but it certainly looks as if that's what you are implying.

I think you might be misconstruing my intended meaning.
I do not believe that Sentinel suits should be restricted to CQC roles. i do, however, believe that they should be limited to wielding heavy weapons. Sentinel suits were designed for the express purpose(s) of being able to soak up more damage than lighter frames and wield heavy weapons. People are taking advantage of this mechanic and using light weapons on them.
Introduce a medium range heavy weapon on a suit and the issue is fixed.
Saying that heavies should be restricted to heavy weapons is not even close to saying that they should only be CQC combatants. Though I can see how one might think that, as the only non-AV heavy weapon in the game currently is indeed a CQC weapon.
