I wanted a SL based AV fit, so the min commando was the best choice for me. The less HP and not much more speed is a little annoying (particularly with such low PG and less low slots), but SL+CR is a great combo and I also have an AoD fit MD+CR that I use sometimes.

With the buff to armour reps, I'd now say Amarr Hi and thanks - was the advantage was the extra speed? Does it make any difference if you choose the suit that fits your race or is that just blah? Sorry for all the questions... but I was definitely leaning towards Minmatar so your's is a helpful response They were going to nerf the speed but last I read they retracted that change.

Anything else you want to do with a fat suit, can be done better with a Sentinel. Mobility and OMGBULLETS is not to be sniffed at. They nerfed the Matari Commando? They reduced its speed so it's not faster than assaults. WTF? Of all the things that were broken about Dropsuits, people thought the speed of the Minmatar Commando was a problem? It is still the fastest commando, just not faster than any assaults. People are already getting crazy ideas like merging the Assault and Commando into one role because they feel the Commando has stolen the Assault's role, and seeing one of the commandos faster than some assaults didn't help matters. Wow, people are actually saying the commando suit stole the assault role?!? I think brick tanked scouts stole the assault role. Why run an assault when you can be invisible or all seeing, super fast, have two equipment slots, a smaller hitbox and only have to sacrifice at most 200 HP? I don't run assault or scouts, but it seems obvious from the outside. I love my minmando suit, but the big hit box, pretty slow speed, low number of slots, and no grenades make it even more of a niche suit than my min logi suit. I'm not complaining about the minmando suit being a niche suit: I think it's generally a good thing. (maybe in need of some tweaking but low priority since its not in a bad spot) I imagine I will get trolled for saying it, but scout suits should have less H/L slots and more built in ewar capabilties (including built in cloak). It's supposed to be a niche suit, so it should have less versatility. The medium suits should be the versatile suits with high H/L slot count. The logi suits are in a good place that way (niche only in that they sacrifice weapons for equipment), but I am not surprised so few people run assaults suits these days. Scout suits should also have more negatives to counter all those positives. you are super fast, hard to hit, and good at eWar. Sorry, you can't also have HP close to an assault suit. Now, troll away my fellow posters
