SponkSponkSponk The Southern Legion Final Resolution. 941	Posted - 2014.07.24 09:10:00 - [1] - Quote To recap: Minmatar Commando Bonus: +2% damage to light projectile and explosive weapons. and yet Minmatar Assault: +5% to projectile light/sidearm clip size per level. What gives? Should flay lock and mass driver also get the same bonus, or if not, What would be a good bonus? Dust/Eve transfers

MINA Longstrike 1053	Posted - 2014.07.24 09:45:00 - [3] - Quote Min assaults had a proposed bonus of a +1 round/level in magazine for 'projectile-explosive' weapons. which would have been MD & flaylock, but it was scrapped. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

Jack McReady DUST University Ivy League 1521	Posted - 2014.07.24 11:21:00 - [5] - Quote ironically MD and flocks also fire projectiles, does not matter if they are rocket, grenade or any other sort of material projectiles. the bonus should also affect clip size of MD and flocks, period. I agree +1/lvl is too much but 5%/lvl is not.

The fact that the Minmatar has MORE racial weapons than some other classes doesn't mean they shouldn't have a bonus for them all. Snipers get the bonus as well as the caldari pistol (flaylock being the Minmatar pistol). And the shotgun also gets the Gal-bonus. RIP MAG, you will be missed. MAG Vet ~ Raven

I agree +1/lvl is too much but 5%/lvl is not. Which means flaylocks get nothing, swarms and mass drivers might get one at later levels.

Yeah I forgot to put sniper rifles and ScP because honestly, I've forgotten they existed from playing too much PC And didn't put shotgun because, who runs shotgun on an assault suit? But otherwise these racial bonuses are either going in the trash and being replaced, or being accompanied by new racial bonuses AND being changed up in CHARLIE/DELTA Confirmed by Rattatati in my thread below So you'll have about another 1-4 weeks of seeing this terribad bonuses before new ones pop up Happy hunting o7 Closed Beta Vet/ Chromosome and Corp battle Vet/ Uprising 1.0-Now PC vet Ex D.F.

Atiim Onslaught Inc RISE of LEGION 10889	Posted - 2014.07.24 15:13:00 - [11] - Quote It was scrapped because people were afraid of explosive spam, but sadly these fears were irrelevant as an increased clip size doesn't change the MD's DPS, and the Flaylock needs all the help it can get. Bringing that back along with the Slot Layout changes would be a step forward in making MinAssaults viable. And nothing of value was lost that day... -HAND
Boot Booter Escrow Removal and Acquisition Dark Taboo 780	Posted - 2014.07.24 20:45:00 - [12] - Quote All I have to say is that I was so excited for a 8 round flaylock, and I was so sad when it got scrapped. Hopefully delta fixes the poor flaylock. On a side note, I thought I would be kinda stupid to have an 11 round mass driver clip considering how the drum magazine looks, appearing to only hold 6.... What happened to the repair tool glow? Why won't CCP answer? Conspiracy?
SponkSponkSponk The Southern Legion Final Resolution. 945	Posted - 2014.07.25 04:17:00 - [13] - Quote So are there any details about what the Minmatar Assault bonus would be? Trying to work out whether to train Min Commando or Min Assault next, and I really do want bonuses mass drivers to be an option :/ Dust/Eve transfers
