SponkSponkSponk The Southern Legion Final Resolution. 966	Posted - 2014.07.31 05:11:00 - [1] - Quote CCP Rattati wrote: SponkSponkSponk wrote: 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? Dust/Eve transfers

But with the new update we will get 7% so even better. 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. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

A clip increase to the Assault Mass Driver would only increase your ability to sustain fire, which is something that the Assault bonuses should be doing. Considering how it wouldn't change the actual DPS, it wouldn't be any more OP than the Matari Commando with Assault MDs. You know, the ones who can have a 16 Round clip if they so desire as well as a 10% Damage Increase. -HAND

The Minmatar aren't the only ones to use explosive weapons. The Amarr and Caldari both make use of explosives as well. 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.
Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui Isuuaya Tactical Caldari State 987	Posted - 2014.07.31 13:51:00 - [6] - Quote What you suggest might just get people to use the Flaylock again but that's prob why their going to look at side arms next . I like what you proposed and I wouldn't have a problem with it , I use min assaults though not that often but I'm starting to so I don't know . I have Mass drivers and just don't use them just like I just started using Rail rifles and Combat rifles even though I have them at level 4 . Hell I thought that the bonuses to nano's for the Caldari logi would include injectors but it doesn't and if it did I prob wouldn't have gone with the Min logi and used my own races logi but anyway . It's a good thought and I don't see it as OP or game breaking . It would make Minmatar the anti-vehicle race and I wouldn't mind that seeing as how I have more spent in Minmatar than I do my own race of Caldari . You would think that CCP would have given the infantry refund that should have been in 1.8.

There were so many ways that their bonus could have went , I would have liked it to go to the longevity of the combatant like shield efficacy , reduced de-pleated shield time , charger, energizer and regulator rate increase or efficacy bonus .. hell I would have liked a one hit point per second armor repair rate . People are narrow minded like talking about dual tanking a Caldari , if someone wants to armor tank a Caldari why not .??.. people don't complain about Gal Sentinel's or Commando's using kin cats . Thinking outside of the box or to give one the ability to , creates interest and make the game more attractive and repeat playable . You would think that CCP would have given the infantry refund that should have been in 1.8.

Boot Booter Escrow Removal and Acquisition Dark Taboo 804	Posted - 2014.07.31 19:41:00 - [11] - Quote We should just maintain the % based bonus that we have for projectile weapons and extend it to explosive weapons. The +1 per level was a bit much (think about 13 round assault MD or an 8 round flaylock). Also this should not include Swarms as technically they are missile and Caldari. Result of +5% to explosive weapon clip at lvl 5 Mass driver - 8 round clip Assault Mass driver - 10 round clip Flaylock - 4 round clip What happened to the repair tool glow? Why won't CCP answer? Conspiracy?

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. Dust/Eve transfers

Larry Desmo Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 74	Posted - 2014.07.31 23:38:00 - [14] - Quote i think a bonus to explosives should go on the min scout rather than the knivez (a caldari weapon) and hacking ability (should be a logi exlusive ability)

After all these YEARS, there is still only 3 Amarrian weapons, and no grenade.

This is a spam weapon, giving a 11+ clip to Min assault only extends it being a spam weapon to the Assault class. To say this weapon is any less than that is bull. I am not for it, there is a reason they removed it from the Assault class in the first place. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Mobius Kaethis Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1594	Posted - 2014.08.03 15:00:00 - [21] - Quote OP I love how you point out both the Cal and Gal assault bonuses as being reasonable when they are both horrible. The Minmatar bonus is not Earth shartteringly good for sure but it is far better than these two which really don't help the suits in their role at all. I always thought that the Min bonus was pretty solid actually and that the suits weren't used because they are too squishy. Would increasing the Min assault's damage dealing ability actually increase its usefulness? I still think it will go down to fast to apply damage even this additional bonus. Really the assault bonuses need to be altered to do two things: 1) apply damage (which this does) 2) increase survivability (which I see as the current problem with Min assaults) Since I haven't played Min assault since chrome though I could very well be wrong. Fun > Realism

Apothecary Za'ki Biomass Positive 235	Posted - 2014.08.04 13:47:00 - [23] - Quote id like to agree but min commando has projectile AND explosive already.. i think the current bonuses are just bad.. Assault suits need a +50% to +100% carried ammo bonus(flat) and a 5% clipsize per level.. then people may actually use assaults over scouts Logibro in training. Weapon Damage Profiles Quick List
