Hi Rattati !

I've already seen for the PRO Caldari Assault...
And it needs more CPU, I don't want more CPU to do an OP suit, but if I want to have a good Caldari-suit, I must have more CPU
I propose : 317 => 330CPU
So 330x1.30 = 429 CPU
I think it's correct like this

Because with 17CPU more, I could have +22.1 finally, but it's not enought to have a basic shield energizer

However, thank you for changes and for listening to us

Dear players,

We have been revisiting a lot of the PG/CPU (I will call it Capacity or Cap from now on) per dropsuit in the last months. It has become blatantly clear, by a lot of definitons, that Assault suits have too little capacity and Sentinels have way too much.

Data points such as comparing capacity per slot for all the roles, and fitting limitations of the Assault. We tried and testing multiple combinations of full proto items in all slots, and the difference is very noticeable.

The use of Assault Rifle Sentinels is also very prevalent and not something the game is balanced around, but we have not wanted to enforce Heavy weapons only in the Heavy Weapon slot, but will address it differently.

For these numbers, an improved methodology of capacity slot allotment per individual slot has been worked out, so that the capacity is the sum of all slots, balanced per tier and slot type and race. That means that a slot layout change can be represented immediately in a new capacity.

The result can be found in the following document.

Dropsuit Capacity

The effective buff is around 10% increased capacity to Assaults, and an effective 10% nerf to Sentinel capacity, the reduction being offset by a 5% per level fitting reduction to Heavy Weapons.

By these changes, Sentinels are still considerably ahead of the second highest capacity per slot, the Commando, and the third highest, the Scout. The Assault, having been the lowest, will be placed in and around Scouts and Logistics. We believe these changes are warranted and fair. We encourage you to prove, and demonstrate, that some viable fittings are OP or UP, and we will take those into consideration with the final numbers.

Please keep it civil and constructive

P.S.
We also buffed Minmatar Scout PG a little

@ killer

You forget that you have better base shield recharge, shield delay, and shield depleted delay than my minmatar assault has. So you're effectively getting what my min assault has now except with 2 free basic mods attached.

Look there's balance between recharge and delay. If you want super high recharge you have to sacrifice shield delay and vise versa.

You guys are gonna be able to achieve 450 HP @ 80 hp/s. Seriously what are you complaining about?

Also acting like 450 hp is anything, besides you can't get 80 hp/s...

Ok that's a bit cheat lol
- 3 shield extenders
- 2 basic shield energizer
- light weapon proto
- sidearm weapon basic
- m1
- nanohive
- 2 enhanced shield regulator

=> shield regen : 53,4hp/sec
=> (if CCP gives +120hp shield) (210 + 120)x1.25 + 3x72.2 = 629.1hp shield
=> shield delay regen : 2.75sec
=> shield spent delay regen : 4.56sec

Hoooo yeah

Uhhhhh, have you tried reps?

Disregarding the new slot layout:

Pro cal assault:

2 complex extenders

2 complex energizers

1 complex CPU mod

2 complex regulators

---

377 shield hp

86.48 shield hp/s

~3/3.5 second shield delay

~8 second depleted shield delay

Well it does kinda make more sense for both fitting styles and balance reasons.

EDIT: Please do not factor in the theoretical new layout. Use current slot layouts for theory crafting as those are familiar to you. Combining the two discussions will result in inconclusive data for us.
