Any news on when the Minmatar bonus to explosive weapons will be returned?
I don't know what that means.
Assault suit bonuses were changed to:
- Amarr: 5%/level heat buildup bonus (roughly equivalent to the bonus of Scrambler Rifle Operation)
- Caldari: 5%/level faster reload (souped-up version of Rail Rifle Rapid Reload)
- Gallente: less hip fire dispersion for blasters (roughly equivalent to the bonus of Assault Rifle Sharpshooter)
- Minmatar: 5% extra magazine size for projectile weapons per level (.........)
Minmatar were also slated to get a bonus to explosive weapons, since they have two racial types, but it was cut, leaving explosive weapons as the only weapons without a medium frame bonus (note that Minmatar Commandos have bonuses to both projectile and explosive)
I propose:
Minmatar Assault bonus changed to
- +5% magazine capacity to light and sidearm projectile weapons (same as now)
- +5% blast radius to light and sidearm explosive weapons
Why +5% blast radius? Because this is exactly the same bonus as Mass Driver Operation and Flaylock Pistol Operation skills provide, which is in line with the power of the other races' bonuses.
Plus, it doesn't provide more raw DPS but does enhance the racial weapons, which seems to be the theme for assault suits.
Thoughts?

Now this weapon,Assault MD, is the epitome of a spam weapon. If you want to make it so the Min Assault gets 11+ shots with these new amazing damage mods I found my new OP suit and I am all for it.
did you not read the post at all.

Is that such a bad thing? Especially in comparison with the minmatar projectile bonus, or the amarr laser bonus?
It doesn't even affect the direct hit damage anyway.

The Gallente do as well, but I feel like a bonus to drones would make more sense for them... even though we don't have any drones  . Besides Swarm Launchers, do you see any non-Matari explosives?
Looks like many people can't tell the difference between light and sidearm weapons with the explosive damage type, and the equipmentcalled Remote Explosives.

IMO there's not enough grenade damage types to give racial bonuses to grenades. Plus, they kinda do different things than racial rifles.

The reason they removed it from the assault class was that the bonus it provided was way out of kilter with the +5%/level bonuses of other suits.

I'm not interested in fixing everything in one fell swoop. I just want to fix this one thing.

You can hop on board then. Ideally, all the suits would get a bonus worth putting SP into.

Fizzer XCIV wrote:Why should the Minassault get 2 amazeballs bonuses, while all of the other Assaults only get 1 bonus?
Because their weapons are split between two types of damage. It's not as if a min assault can carry around a combat rifle and a mass driver at the same time.

So, should the Caldari get a bonus to Explosive weaponry as well then?
If you count swarms as a caldari weapon, then yes.
Quote:The point here is that you shouldn't get 2 bonuses, regardless of how many weapon types your race of choice uses.
So you're saying that the gallente bonus works on all their racial weapons but it's unfair that the minmatar bonus works on all their racial weapons too? That doesn't seem equitable.
