Aren't prescision enhancers in High slots?
Why do you feel the need to extend your BASE (As in without mods) 36m scan radius further?
Surely you want to make up for you short fall (Prescision) over improving you positive to above useful/faif levels?

What is your issue exactly? The CalScout will still be able to scan a long way at very low precision? It just will not be able to do so for minimal investment post-Charlie.
This is a good thing, balance-wise, and only those who are FotM chasers should really complain. The CalScout can still be an effective Scout hunter, unless those Scouts are sacrificing just as much (possibly more) to evade all scans, at which point the Caldari has an advantage over the Amarr where it can have long, long range scans to detect medium/heavy suits while tanking effectively.

It is low. Thing is, either you make scanning so powerful that dampening is entirely moot, or you make dampening worthwhile, but only at the extreme - that is, it can dodge everything but at a high cost, which is what we're looking at right now.

Dampening only ever affects a single person: the person who is dampening their suit.
Scanning, even if we pretend the future removal of squad sharing is now, affects many people, simple because of communication being able to translate that data into information for your squad mates to act upon.

With extreme dampening evading all scans, period, you're looking at a cold war of damps vs scans: scans can never catch a fully dampened scout, but fully dampening requires an enormous trade-off in terms of survivability and potential EWar fitting, maybe you fit enough to evade most scans..then that 20db CalScout has value in catching those Scouts trying to run less damp-heavy.

It's swings and roundabouts: if your high slots for precision are not worthwhile..skill into Amarr.

No. This mentality is sickening. If people would pick their suits based on the role and racial fitting philosophy this respec thing would never arise. What you are asking for is just a first class flight to the next FOTM.

All Rattati is doing here is driving fittings towards their eve philosophy.

Hope u r feeling ok from ur aforementioned sickness; but the truth of the matter is I have the choice to play this game in any way I see fit, as u have the right 2 ur opinion. Get well soom!!

OK this is literally going nowhere.

Can I ask you to only reply with "I like these changes" and see if there is a harmony in those answers. I seem to see a few happy Min Assaults, what about the GA STD and ADV logis who have been shafted out of slots for no reason that I can see?

My belief was that players were asking for the slots to make more sense, less duplicate options and more racial flavoring. Such as fewer 3-2, 2-3.

I also see a lot of Cals who want to keep their 2 lows to put amor plates or reps, that's really not a playstyle we would design around or cater too.

Also keep in mind that Assaults are getting a decent ehp buff and pg/cpu, so don't use the current pg/cpu as a reason to say "no I don't want 4-1.

Also keep in mind that we will be buffing dmg mods so a better use for high slots.

In the end, we cannot, with slot layout design, stop anyone from doing shield extenders and normal plates. Yes, they will have of ehp, and that is something we are trying to address in Delta with some fitting bonus/efficacy solutions.

No I know, that's what I'm saying.
You already get decent scan range, 36.45m and your profile is still going to better than any medium suit not jacked up on 4 dampeners.

Rattai has said that ALL scouts suits will be capable of passively avoiding all but 1 scanner, which will require the use of cloak to remain undetected.

So the question is why do you want to boost these already good stats by wasting your slot on them?
The only EWAR module that wil make you even marginally better is Prescision Enhancer, in the High slot that will if you sacrifice enough tank, allow you to see more inside your passive scan radius.

It's called balance, you have something you are good at for free, but in order to get around your short falls you must sacrifice your main tank.

I like these changes overall, but I wanted to address this one point.

It has always been my feeling that an Armor Repair module was essential on any suit unless it had built in passive armor repair. Reactive plate can be substituted of course.

I propose that every suit should get 1 HP/sec passive armor repair, so that Armor Repair modules are no longer a mandatory fitting. This would allow suits with only one low slot to equip something useful rather than only being able to choose between an Armor Repair or a Reactive Plate.

Yes, Caldari are Shield Tankers, not armor tankers, but that is the point. If they get hit by a flux grenade they will need that armor buffer to survive long enough to get to cover. They don't rely on armor in every engagement, but they need a trickle regen so that small armor buffer is there when they need it.
