* Remove Ambush OMS or remove Vehicles from Ambush OMS, Ambush OMS stays with vehicles and buffed installations, revisited in Delta based on new feedback.

All,

After crowdsourcing, data crunching, reviewing internally and discussing with the CPM, we are ready with a non-finite list for Hotfix Charlie. As always, this is the narrative and any, all or none of the ideas may end up being implemented.

Hotfix Charlie
* Primary Objective Assault buff, we are looking at a HP increase, universal changes in slot layout, one additonal slot at ADV and PRO and improved PG/CPU, slot based approach. Possibly improve Light Weapon fitting bonus. Possibly a slight speed increase., add Grenade fitting bonus, 5% per level.

* A slight HMG heat buildup increase

* Reduce Sentinel PG/CPU. Introduce a fitting bonus to Heavy Weapons. Update slots according to Universal Matrix.

* Installation buff, with a range and AI range reduction, reduction of granted WP for destruction.

* Blaster turret accuracy improvements, both Small and Large

* Modification of scout bonuses, with Amarr getting a precision bonus, a low radius strong field of scanning on top of a heavily armored suit, and Caldari retaining a long range scan ability.

* Minmatar will be improved by a Codebreaker fitting reduction, possibly KinCats as well. Possibly moving Codebreakers to High slot (maybe Delta. PG increase.

* Nova Knife hit detection, range and damage improvement, plus PG reduction.

* Reduced small rail range compared to sniper range

* Move all logistics to the same number of Equipment slots per tier, removing the Amarr sidearm. Reduce Logi speed slightly and remove Cloak fitting bonus. Same total of high and low slots as well per tier., tagged for Hotfix Delta, see Slot Layout discussion thread.

* WP for injectors, STD/ADV/PRO 25/50/75 WP

* Reactive Plates to 1-2-3 hp/s

* OB WP doubled

* LP payout increased x-fold

* Remove Ambush OMS or remove Vehicles from Ambush OMS, Ambush OMS stays with vehicles and buffed installations, revisited in Delta based on new feedback.

* Reduced ADS ISK price

Still under tech evaluation
* Disabling passive Scan sharing with squads
* Suicide/Bleedout/Overview option properly enforces that revival is not possible
* We have identified almost all the suits that have the wrong colors and are trying to get those fixed.
* Reduce ISK cost of early skillbooks for new players or free

Bugs/issues that need Client update
Pilot stacking bug
Unfair fall damage calculation
Unfair War points and distribution from OB kills
Directional arrow for enemies on minimap bug

Hotfix Delta or later
*Sidearm rebalance
*Sniper Rifle review
*Efficacy bonuses
*Further slot based PG/CPU updates based on necessity, Scouts, Commandos, Logistics

Aww codebreakers are not going to be highslot modlules . You make me a sad panda rattati.

There is a technical issue, not a design issue, moving a module between high and low has not been done before and it had unintended consequences.

It's sad, that would have been really useful for Min scouts. It's nice to be able to hack super fast, but if enemies spot you before you reach the point...

It''s coming after thursday''s downtime.

Source, troll?

Watch, someone already said it, but..... The Bolas. My WORST enemy. It's invisible, and i feel like the sound effect for it should be changed to the jaws sound track. I keep getting Infantry using it as a weapon against my ADS, and ya know what makes me sad? It's SUPER EFFECTIVE.

Assault dropship fainted!
Dust player_4763 gained 1 exp.

worse decision ever! at least split the 2 game modes so those who want a break from tank spam can do so!
really tankers only want to come into ambush to pad out their peni... kdr.
just give us a little corner of the universe to get away from vehicle spam once in a while. standard ambush matches are so much less annoying now its actually made the game a bit more enjoyable to play again.

What about the eHP buff finally ?
Please make it, please.
Some people speak about the Commando, but they don't speak about scout.
A eHP buff would improve assault against scout-tankers, that's my opinion

Do you really want a pilot suit? You better think twice what you wish for cause if there is a suit that gives bonuses to vehicles then the vehicle/modules are getting nerfbatted. Just think back about the equipment nerf when they added race specific bonuses to logistic suits.

So the ultimate question would be:
do you really want to skill into a proto pilot suit so that your vehicle operates exactly like it did without the pilot suit before? This would aswell mean that heavy/logistic suits in tanks/dropships would be a no go.

XD Yes, glad somebody caught my reference. But ummmm..... can we get squadlock in options for vehicles? It's REALLY hard (that's what she said) to be a team player and hop out of your vehicle to hack **** when a bloobairy comes and steals your vehicle... then gets it immediately killed.... SO SAD!

That please. My negative experience with Assault Dropships & HAVs from December 2013 through the Spring have convinced me there will never be any fair competition in Pubs. Maybe someday in Legion but never in Dust 514. I'd rather not have to exit Ambush OMS matches when they show up in rotation.

* Minmatar will be improved by a Codebreaker fitting reduction, possibly KinCats as well. Possibly moving Codebreakers to High slot (maybe Delta. PG increase.

I'm disappointed with this. I was looking forward to the Minja becoming viable so I could skill into it.

But all you did was copy paste the precision bonus from the Caldari to the Amarr, which means Amarr will be able to camp objectives and not let Minja get their speed hacks.

Looks like I'd better skill into Gallente or Amarr because the other two are going to suck. Seriously why give Caldari a range AND dampening bonus... it's stupid because it only has 2 low slots. What are they gonna do, put one dampener and one range amp on? Come on.
