e. Skill can apply to either base attributes or the modules. It doesnGÇÖt need to be consistent.
d. I don't know enough about skills to comment on this.
Generally speaking, do you feel that SUIT BONUSES should apply bonuses to the base attributes of the suit, such as Sentinels +3% Damage resistance/Lvl of Sentinel? Or should it apply to modules and equipment, such at the +5% to repair rate to repair tools/Lvl of Minmatar Logi?
a. Suit Bonuses should apply to base attributes of that suit.
b. Suit Bonuses should apply to equipment/modules that are meant to work with that role.
c. Suit bonuses should be applied to either the base attributes, or the equipment and modules that make sense for that role. It doesn't need to be consistent.

d. Repping, Ammo Supply, Uplinks, ect. Equipemtn based team support, but also providing indirect DPS support.
e. I don't know enough about Logistics to comment on this.
The Commando currently fills the role of a DPS class. Do you feel the Assault and Commando needs to fill different roles, or different ones?
