Please take a look at these two charlie assault fits.
Gallente assault
Caldari assault
I have tied to make two equivalent fittings with similar level mods, weapons and equipment. I have also tried to make decent fits that fit the vision of each suit.
Each suit has all proto mods except one which is advanced. Each has a proto light weapon, an advanced sidearm and an advanced nanohive.
Yes I have gone with ferroscale on the Gallente suit which has lower fitting costs, however to balance this the Caldari suit has a cardiac regulator which is possibly the module with the lowest CPU cost other than a CPU enhancer. I like to think the Gallente would appreciate the speed of ferroscale plates and the Caldari would enjoy the stamina to enable wide flanking to make full use of the rail rifles long range.
As you can see the Caldari suit is 51 CPU over and 18 PG under, whereas the Gallente suit fills up it's resources quite nicely.
Hopefully this illustrates the Caldari fitting issue quite nicely. It appears you could comfortably give the Caldari suit an extra 50-55 CPU at the cost of 11 PG (assuming an approximate 5cpu to 1pg ratio) or more.
Would it be a problem if Caldari suits were CPU heavy? I know rail weapons are PG heavy but it hardly seems to matter compared to shield CPU usage. What about the scout suit? Caldari scouts are light on CPU like other Caldari suits, but it is rarely a problem for them as they have no need to fit CPU guzzling recharges/energizers. |

How about actually buffing something without taking away things?
And not everyone has pg skills maxed, only 5-8 pg should be taken if necessary.
Because it would be unfair on the other races. Are you saying Caldari users don't need to max out PG skills but Gallente users have to max CPU skills? My example Gallente suit uses all of it's available CPU.

Obviously this is all due to the massive CPU usage of rechargers and energizers. You could reduce the fitting cost of these modules, however I prefer the idea of swapping some shield suit (mainly Caldari) PG for CPU. This should have the following benefits over changing the modules requirements:
It strengthens the differences between shield and armor suits
It encourages more varied fittings/playstyles by discouraging dual tanking and encouraging the use of regen mods. |
