Finally getting round to listening to this week's episode.
Corp Skins:
If they have to be submitted to CCP to be created manually, I assume that the Corp will have to be active for a year to be eligible like for EVE Alliance logos?

Yeah, I was on training for two days last week. Couldn't listen to the Podcast and the instructor at the same time.

I listened to two episodes while hanging drywall over the weekend, but did not record my reactions to the episodes as I was listening on my phone while renovating rather than sitting at my computer at work.

Really interesting discussion this week. As far as how I would change things for logi if I were in charge and had unlimited resources:
1. Caldari & Minmatar would have bonus to shield rep tool, Amarr & Gallente would have bonus to armor rep tool.
2. Add capacitors to suits so active equipment can't be spammed indefinitely. Logis would have big cap pools with very good cap regen, making them much better at using active equipment. It also means you can't stack 4 scanners and run them non-stop. You will have to be judicious about when you use your rep tool, as it can't be spammed indefinitely.
3. Add resistance plating for armor and invulnerability fields for shields. Each would resist a percent of a certain damage type, and one would resist all damage types at a much smaller percent (this should produce a smaller buffer than adding a plate or extender). Maybe 25% resistance to a specific damage type at PRO? 12% for across-the-board resistances at PRO? Of course stacking penalties would apply.
4. Resistance modules would increase the power of rep tools, since they're repping less damage.
5. I'd add capacitor modules like batteries and rechargers.
6. I'd add a module that improves lock time (sensor booster). I'd probably change locking mechanics: L1 Locks, R1 applies reps (using cap)
7. I'd probably make logis even a touch slower and tanky (perhaps via innate resistances) with low regen. This follows the EVE model. They rely on their team for protection, and their team has to stay within range or they can't get reps. It's a major force multiplier, but also a potential achillies heal. You have to weigh the risk/reward of running ahead of your logi to gain a tactical advantage, or sacrifice your speed to give your logi protection and have reps.
8. I would decrease the cost of equipment, increase the fitting costs of equipment while also increasing the fit bonus on logi suits.
9. I'd add ECM grenades that act like a flashbang: Disables tacnet (no red/blue dots/chevrons etc.) and prevents locking for x seconds.
10. I'd add neut grenades.
11. As far as speed goes. I'd add a mass stat. Speed, sprint speed, strafe speed, rate of stamina use, jump height, etc. would all be derived from mass. Suits would have a mass stat based on frame size/role. Plates would add constant mass, so they would radically slow down a scout, compared to a sentinel. All of this would be dynamically calculated at fitting-time and cached as values in the fit so it won't affect performance or loading times.
12. Still unsure about how I'd handle equipment bonuses though. Amarr = links, Caldari = hives, Gallente = scans and Minmatar = ??? maybe explosives/mines but seems weird.
I'd like to see combat be more EVE-like but in the context of things that make sense for an FPS. A lot of the things absent from DUST that exist in EVE are why we have the balance issues we have. E.g. if we have capacitors, that's one major variable to help differentiate the logi from the assault. If we have resistance modules, that's a big buff to logistics, it also prevents FOTM because you can build fits to counter them.
Best PvE idea ever!

June 1st: The Logi Pain Train
Logi survivability speed vs Logi health:
- I have had fairly good success getting repped by Scouts. Of course I usually run a speed fit Sentinel.
- An advantage to Cal Logi we don't often think of is that a Logi can self heal use his own Rep Hives, but not his own Rep Tool.

June 8th: Ball and Chain
I am feeling very optimistic about the CPM2. It looks like we will have a solid group of candidates.
If Breakin Stuff runs I will be putting him on my voting list. (Not first on the list, that spot is reserved for someone else, but definitely on the list.)
While I don't always agree with Breakin Stuff's proposals, I always read them carefully, because he is one of those few people who you can count on to have put a great deal of thought into anything they present.
When I created The Bastion thread for Sentinel Community discussions, I did not feel like the thread was Official until I managed to drag Breakin Stuff into it, as he has been one of the primary contributors for a long time on discussions on how to balance the Sentinel class. (Of course when the thread got recognition from Rattati, that was good too...) Like me, Breakin Stuff does not only look at his primary role, he works to promote balance across all the roles rather than just promoting his own role.
I don't always agree with him, but I do always respect him, and I will therefore support his candidacy.

My Childhood terror is being eaten alive, so I don't like such movies. I would have vivid nightmares of creatures sinking their teeth into my abdomen and trying to pull me apart. I'd wake up paralyzed with fear, and still feel the pain in my abdomen. I the first time I watch Cloverfield I was going to be sick when the monster ate the guy and the camera. That was a little bit too much immersion for my fear. But, I love my woman and I'll take her to watch this movie.... in.... 3d.... *gulp*

I don't like movies with jump scares and stuff. I've actually never seen a Jurassic Park movie (yes, I'm not joking), but it seems like a thing that it would contain. I will be going to see Jurassic World, probably in IMAX 3D at that. Though I heard it was pretty mediocre.
That being said, if the woman wants to go to the movie, you take the woman to the movie.

The only nightmares I had as a child were when I was delirious, which happened to me quite frequently for some reason. These dreams would involve colored sign waves on a black background and strange voices criticizing me. I had that dream many times. The voices would change, but the sign waves would always be there.
I wonder if it says something about me that my nightmares would be so abstract?
Delirium is a lot like a bad acid trip.

June 15th: Culturally Apropos (Yes I am getting behind. I have been busy.)
I like the idea of a Mastery skill for Weapons & Suits that levels through use rather than assigning skill points to it. A weapon's Mastery skill could accumulate skill points every time you do damage with the weapon, with larger bonuses given for Assists and Kills. The Mastery skill bonus should be fairly small though (like 1% damage per level or something) so it does not create an insurmountable difference between new players and vets, and also so it does not force people to stick to only one weapon. It needs to be a "nice to have" bonus, not a "must have" bonus.
However a Mastery Skill system based on gaining mastery by using the item would be a new system within the game, which would likely take a fair bit of Dev time, and I don't think it would be a high priority for development. But it would be nice!

Soraya Xel is definitely getting better at giving his CPM update. This time it was something like "I know you guys have not seen much of Rattati recently but I have seen a screenshot of what he is working on and am really excited!" It tells us nothing, but gives us a warm fuzzy feeling.

Yup. I will get the podcast posted tonight so entries can be submitted again by Wednesday night. I edited it, uploaded it already (smart people can find it at the same MP3 URL as every other week's, but with the next episode number), but I went to bed before I updated the feed and made the blog post and stuff.

Fox, then you just make a second post. ;)
By the way, changed the way the Podcast section of the blog appears when you click the top link! It's much shinier now: http://biomassed.net/category/podcast/
The old page, at http://biomassed.net/podcast/ also still exists with the traditional links to the MP3s, and that page will continue to update and work going forward as well.

This is a pretty good scale. However, where would you place the upcoming Deadpool movie on this scale, compared to John Wick? (According to Jay, there is only one right answer here.)

I knew this would come up, but I'm afraid I am still caught off guard. Perhaps a Wick/Deadpool teamup would solve all our problems?
I also freaking love the idea for a critiquing Soraya live stream. I used to do this on a daily basis back in Top Men, so it would warm the malicious part of my heart to see this joy brought to the masses.
