Me personally , I have killed off most of my Caldari Sentinel fits and I have started using exclusively Gal Sentinels .
Again something Caldari being useless ... Charlie has killed the Caldari Sentinel for me .
I could go on about other things that I have noticed but why ..??.. it's not worth it and if I'm not feeling better by the weekend then I have to say , that I will take a break until Delta and hopefully right after Delta those who choose to can have a SP refund .
I would love to get out of the Caldari heavy ... love the Commando ( my fav suit because I snipe ) but the basic heavies and sentinels are useless for me now .
What have any of you noticed about life after Charlie , that has totally thrown your game off or just things that any of you would change if possible ?
You would think that CCP would have given the infantry refund that should have been in 1.8.

He's been through a lot. I mean, he had to bear doing a crappy sitcom about a whiny jackass, his morbidly obese/mentally challenged son, whilst he was just told to be himself. I mean, can you imagine how that makes someone feel?
Then there's the stereotype of him being all about drugs....

7 months of shield and armor imbalances in suits..
And it still gets worse.
The simple fact that they made it 50x worse in one patch makes all their hard work moot.

My Amarr Logi now has no sidearm thus making it useless and like every other logi suit
My Cal sentinal Is okay for FG but shields have been changed again
My Gal sentinal now has the old Amarr slot layout which i didnt want but now i have to skill up the Amarr sentinal because it has 4low slots
My Cal scout has changed again so once again like the Amarr logi i have skilled into something i didnt want
No dropsuit SP refund because 'muh choices have consequences untill CCP change everything on a whim because they have no long term plan apart from pulling the plug on this shoddy game which still leaves you with suits you skilled into for x reason never being used again because CCP changed it to z skill'
My ADS isnt cheaper and i dont get 500shield for the python while swarms get several buffs
ADS still isnt in the FW store, let alone half the gear
No racial parity with vehicles either and it wont happen because dead game
CCP dont have a clue, the sooner they pull the plug the better everyone will be |

overall I'm liking it.
Still confused by the decision to up damage mods power given the reasons to reduce them in the first place. I really didn't like the old days. Then again if they are stacking damage mods it means less shields for my CR to chew through, so I guess swings and roundabouts

Perfect example of how stupid this community is. Complains about something before actually logging in and looking, or reading the pages of notes which describe it.

It was on the table for hotfix charlie, for all i know its going into delta instead
Yes i would complain about a change that ignores the choice i made, i went for the logi suit because it has a sidearm slot to make it more combative but instead if CCP removes it then my choice is invalid and i have wasted SP |

I haven't played any matches yet, but I had a bit of fun refitting some suits. I'm really liking how the Assault suits are much more versatile. Sentinel = slow badass, Commando = AV/solid DPS & tank, Logi = support, Scout = stealth/assasin/saboteur, and Assault = versatile combat platform. It's a good system--all suits have a role. The installation changes are great. Looking forward to testing the new sniper scope (is variable scope zoom something that can be hotfixed, or does it require a patch?).
I'm thinking shields could do with another buff (maybe another +10 for all shield extender variants).
Best PvE idea ever!

What have any of you noticed about life after Charlie , that has totally thrown your game off or just things that any of you would change if possible ? The Advanced and Proto Caldari Sentinel should still be fine. It is only the Standard tier that is useless.
Of course this means you canGÇÖt grind ISK in a Caldari Sentinel suit.
Having neither a low slot nor an equipment slot makes a suit virtually useless, as it has no way to self repair armor.
I will be pushing for a passive armor repair for the Caldari Sentinel in Delta to compensate for the slot deficit. I expect the dramatic drop in the use of the Standard Caldari Sentinel suits which will start today will support my case.

Just don't disappoint , now do you ?
I'm glad that you see what others including myself .. are talking about .
I will post on your thread with any info that I can to help ... I just can't see myself using the Cal Sent for anything other than a forge now so that's a disappointment but like I said , I did skill in Gal Sent so that should not be too much of a problem .
Make that thread and those who use or had used now , the Cal Sent .. will come and support you I'm sure .
I'm for all things Caldari but I just can see myself wasting the SP's just to try something out , if it has no battlefield importance to me I just won't attempt to use it .
I for one would just like the Caldari roles to have better bonuses , besides the scouts which are the best performers in the game as far as Caldari roles are concerned ... to me .
They should have switched the plasma resistance bonus with projectile but I don't see too many that would back that change but I believe that would help the Cal Sent to be a force on the battlefield and keep them in line with the rest of the Sent's and not the worst and to me that's where they stand right now .
Thanks for your input Fox ... you are always welcome .

How are the new sights on sniper rifles suppose to work ?
Are we suppose to line up the target inside the dot or what ?
I do that and still can't register a hit and when I hit someone , I don't know how or what to do to repeat that process .
It's kind of confusing .

The assault buff DID make the assault more survivable, BUT that only slows the scout down by a few seconds before he kills you. 6 months ago with 1.8 ( wow thats a long time since them ) scouts became OP. Idk how but they did along with heavies, and mediums sucked, not because they were UP but because the changes that came with 1.8 somehow killed the role of assaults. So this new assault buff helps when fighting logis, assaults and heavies but doesn't fix the problem of basic scouts murdering Proto assaults with maxed skills.
So charlie is good but the assault buff wasn't the best.

I enjoyed it although my most used fit for the past year, Amarr sentinel with burst Hmg, seems to be more popular.
It was great to see a wider variety of suits in field.
Also, "nice" to see this community hasn't changed and seems unable to adapt to changes/their fit no longer being the best performing. |

I'm sad that my Amar sentinel, despite having 1 more low slot now has less armour than it did yesterday, my cal assault is still weak my cal scout now pointless - give the minnies our range bonus and remove the cal scout altogether, heck maybe remove all caldari stuff altogether - maybe they might have an easier job if there was one less race to 'balance' around. |

You can still shield tank although with the higher buffer with armor tanks it's become far more defined that the armor tanks walk about killin' things while the shield tanks have to dodge in and out of cover... but the more slots on suits and the more this becomes evident. At least my Caldari assault can fit the enhanced shield energizer that my Caldari sentinel can no longer fit.
My biggest complaint is that if all suits can naturally regen shields why can't all suits naturally rep armor? Just give Gallente the most passive armor rep, but all suits should have at least 1 armor rep. It's pretty silly that a std caldari sentinel is now garbage being incapable of applying passive rep. It worked okay on the std commando since it's pretty much only good as a sniper so nano repping isn't so bad but the sentinel....
My theory on why shield tanking is generally garbage in comparison to armor is that clone counts are 1 to 1. Higher buffer is better at ensuring you will at least kill one guy while shields you may die first. Compound this with the ever increasing TTK and the possibility that shield tanking had of "ambushing" armor tanks has dropped.
It is essentially the old scout QQ. If you can't kill the target fast enough you being more mobile and ambushing them doesn't matter. |

No he already confirmed earlier in the thread that he hadn't actually checked the more recent notes or logged online to see that he does still have the sidearm. |

I think you were being too diplomatic in your statement but it just shows that you choose to take the higher ground .
I can't understand why most just don't see it , I just can't believe it's from lack of knowledge because most of these players have alts and play with different styles but when you speak about shield tanking ... most just don't get it ... they want to talk like they do and when someone has an opinion like yourself , or myself because I'm more incline to agree from experience ... they would be quick to say that we have it all wrong but most of these same people are armor tankers mostly .
I totally agree with what is said about the Cal Sent and it's just sad about how changes can totally render one's work and SP investments moot .
You would think that CCP would have given the infantry refund that should have been in 1.8.

That's how I feel as well because they just can't seem to get it right .

Idk how but they did along with heavies, and mediums sucked, not because they were UP but because the changes that came with 1.8 somehow killed the role of assaults. So this new assault buff helps when fighting logis, assaults and heavies but doesn't fix the problem of basic scouts murdering Proto assaults with maxed skills.
So charlie is good but the assault buff wasn't the best. My advanced scout got the drop on a CK:O and he still killed me with 181 armor left.I was dampened x3 with x2Complex Precision in highs so you would call me a truly light scout. |

Some thoughts:
* My standard Caldari Sentinel is completely useless. Not being able to repair ~40% of your entire health pool gimps it.. * Minmatar Assaults finally don't suck. I can finally take that skill above level 1 and not feel like I wasted SP. * Shields still seem a bit underpowered, despite my caldari/minmatar assaults now being able to stack more. * Burst HMG feels bad, and is no longer something I will ever use in its current state. * Absurdly high HP ceiling for armour sentinels is still obnoxious (looking at you, Amarrian filth) * Orbital spam reduction is sexy.
Not bad... but the things that are in dire need of addressing are becoming more and more obvious with each hotfix. (Scotty, tier disparity, holes in content)

If Gallente is the best, while Amarr and Caldari are (I quote you) "close seconds", then I'd call that pretty balanced. The only scout in need of serious attention would be Minmatar then. Much better than before.

I had my fun with it yesterday...
That i have to make compromises when fitting my cal-sentinel, i don't mind. It was indeed too easy before. (Not using the standard suit though.) Thanks to the knife changes, my dancing minja feels more fluid then ever. In the next days, i shall try to use some non proto variants on other suits as actual sidearms, instead of my usual stuff. My amarr assault seems quite powerfull now. An usefull middleground inbetween the other two suits. And thus far, i do love the improved turret installations. Holding those finally seem to make a difference. I allready had a great prolonged shootout in an ambush, because the enemy did so, despite a tank and an all in all stronger team on our side.
Something odd i noticed: The basic medium suits didn't get the same slots and cpu/pg as the assault variants. Why is that? |

My favourite part of charlie so far is the installations. I jumped into a squad last night in dom and when the squad leader put a defend order on a turret that was high on a hill, I actually ran over to help defend it because it was something worth defending and it was actually the right thing to do when we were getting stomped.
My least favourite part of charlie is seeing my min-commando become under powered. I'm still going to use it because the two light weapons is still the only way to go when using a SL, but I am going to die a lot more and kill a lot less now that assaults have grenades, higher HP potential, faster regen, faster speed, and a smaller hit box. |

On another note, My assault suit is better than most Heavies, My Heavy feel like "Hammer of Thor"... My Cal Scout is fun and tricky to use, but it's still better than Amar Scouts and min Scouts...

Well put sir , very well put .
We know that your trying to balance things out CCP and we truly appreciate your efforts but you just can't keep changing directions after you have set us on a path and then all of a sudden , you have a few who don't care for the direction that we are going in ... you people read , you see the suggestions but you look at numbers and don't really think about the in-game effects until being in-game . Now you want to complain ... what the community needs to do is begin to go threw all pre arranged adjustments with a fine tooth comb an stop looking at just the stats , start to figure out what will be the effects of said changes and how they will effect the overall game play and more than that , how it will effect each individual role so we don't have to keep going threw this constant change of direction .
Every change made should benefit all involved and not just a particular race or role but instead , most just think about their personal gain .
Very well put sir and it's part of the reason why we go threw these constant changes in directions .
You would think that CCP would have given the infantry refund that should have been in 1.8.

I for one am tired of being stuck on rocks , on walls ( Has a scout just SG the $h!t out of me yesterday for instance because I became stuck to a wall while trying to evade ) , game lagging during gun exchanges , having trouble traversing the terrain and becoming stuck in crevices .
These issues are some of the things that can cause one to just become frustrated and stop playing .
We know it's a game and things happen but these are some of the issues that have plagued this game since I started playing and I'm coming up on my year anniversary , also I'm sure these things didn't just appear out of thin air and were here before I came to New Eden .
We're on C so hopefully by F some of these issues can be resolved .
The community needs a SP refund for those who file a ticket when Delta drops , this will also solve some problems and breath a " new life " into the game for most and frankly after the infantry changes , just needs to happen to right some of the changes that are being made .

I always find a good exercice to trash every fittings and start anew in the weeks following an Hotfix release.
Give yourself some time to get used to the changes, then build new fittings from scratch around what you found that worked well for you. Try to use the Modules/Gear/Dropsuits that exacerbate the traits that are strong in your gameplay.

On a side note , are the skills changes applying because skills says radius and I should have 30% more right ..??.. and I have level 4 on my personal so even without a mod and I'm not saying that I don't have one on but I do have a fit where I use a scanner as well , no cloak , use a A-86 .. now I know that's not much but when I use that I feel like I just can't see as well as I should , now I understand about dampened scouts .. I just skilled into level 3 of the SG .. have the same in NK ( I could talk about scouting another time because I am interested ) but you know that they just actually applied a lot of bonuses that should have been and actually fixing a lot of problems with bonuses not applying but I just feel like something's missing and I understand that I don't have a lot in my tree , not maxed but a lot hovering .
I hope that they check that but I understand that it's still early and it's only at C but that's if there actually planning on fixing those problems or will the same happen in legion ?
All the bonuses should apply by now and we shouldn't revisit this problem any time soon .. that's paramount .
Shouldn't even be talked about .
I see a lot of what's listed with incorrect stats .

Don't get me started on the Cal Sent , I hope that they change their bonus to 3% shield resistance to laser weapons and 2% to projectile weapons , even more so after these current changes .
There bonuses need to be changed because their ineffective and with no low slot at basic , come on .. CCP you act like they were the Gal Sent or the Amarr even , no offence to all but they need something even more now because you rendered SP's moot , everyone doesn't run Proto because most can't .. they don't have the SP's to .
You see all these people talking about prototype this and that but I can't relate to suit talk because I have weapons and I tried to focus on my core because that's mandatory .
I put a lot into vehicles as well .
Got screwed on that but that's another story .
At least vehicles are usable , the basic Cal Sent isn't .. no reps .
Basic like the beginning of making a character , they should have it in the FW market because that's where it truly belongs .
Speaking of that , I still can't understand why swarms are in the FW market for Caldari but they don't have the bonus on the Commando suits ?
You could replace those with the Cal Sent in the FW market or FG's because they don't have the bonus so why have them in the market for Caldari .
Hell , you could take CR's out of the FW market , it's the most widely used gun and if people don't have it by now it's their fault , skill into it dammit .
It just doesn't make sense to me .

It's to early to tell yet, So far I have been enjoying Hotfix Charlie. Some of my fits got nerfed really hard but I been trying different fits and found some interesting combinations that I really been enjoying. Out the door the Scrambler Riffle and Nova knives are something very dangerous. I'll be spending skillpoints on the Nova knives but will leave the SR at level 1. Not my cup of tea.
CCP Rattati, some people are complaining about the Caldari Heavy changes I know you put the 3/2 proto version on the list for a LP and AUR variant is there anyway we can see that deployed?
I know I been a very big abuser or the old Caldari 2/1 layout for the Standard heavy. It was a really nice suit easy to use and was great for solo gameplayer who aren't in a squad. The old caldari heavy suit suffered from the depleted recharge not always kicking in when depleted. It had something to do with if you where running from gunfire the second shot that hit you canceled out the delay. That being said I can see you wanting people to spend some more isk to get that benefits from that low slot yet it might just put it in the same class as the Caldari Standard Logi fit. There is no reason to use that suit at standard level.
Forge Changes needed Officer Splash 3.0, Proto 2.7 Advanced 2.5 Standard 2.1.
Original ROF needs to return!

No they don't want to give respecs because they never gave Eve respecs. Most the players bashing respecs are doing so because of the rhetoric, that Eve doesn't get respecs. Eve =/= Dust. I could understand if Dust actually impacted Eve and the games were truly integrated as promised but they aren't, so we need to stop with this "But Eve!" bullshit, it's literally childish.

It use to bother but now it doesn't matter .
As far as Dust goes , when delta drops is all I care about and I'm not ashamed to admit it .
You would think that CCP would have given the infantry refund that should have been in 1.8.

I like it.
More specifically: - I like the factional battle payout increase, I will be playing factional regularly in order to get my Boundless repair tools and my Federation Duvolle Assault riffles
- I like the Assault Buff, they did a good job with the CPU and PG. These are high enough to make good builds, but low enough to not let you stack proto/complex everywhere.
- I like the Heavy CPU amd PG Nerf, it has made me change my Gallente Sentinel setups but like the new Assaults, they are in the right range (high enough to make good builds, but low enough to not let you stack proto/complex everywhere).
- I like the Damage modifier change, you can really feel the difference when running a complex.

The SP system will not succeed in a lobby shooter as it is a competitive game style. It's like having online monopoly where the longer players have gamed with Parker Bros. Online the more money they start with at the beginning of games. The reason Dust continued to spiral in new player retention is because the psychology of why people have fun in a competitive environment is counter intuitive to the seniority system that SP has created. An easy example would be World of Warcraft World PvP, which never was popular even in classic and Battlegrounds which didn't get popular until they had matchmaking brackets. Likewise, the most popular PVP arena is generally about equal everything except class composition and team skill.
The reason Eve was popular with the SP system that was copied to Dust is because of the high risk ganking system it supported. In this sense it's comparable to DayZ. These style of games are popular for the fact that if you become good enough you can generally avoid unwanted confrontations and gang up on others to increase your odds etc. However, this is nothing like a competitive arena styled game that Dust is. You have to fight the enemy and you have to fight the enemy on numerically equal terms 16v16 50/50 or 150/150 clone counts. The **** ups go beyond this though, another serious issue balance wise that the game has is trying to copy paste the space naval wars into Dust as well. Now let's suspend for a moment how asinine competing military empires would be if they did not adapt each others tech (IE all races should have their own version of missles, plasma, rails, projectiles, lasers, etc.) but the major issue is that these doctrines don't necessarily mesh well. The minmitar and Amarr weaponry compliments them well, however I find CQC gallente weapons work better on the highly mobile caldari suits while long range rail tech works better on the slow but high buffer gallente suits. |

I'm loving it.
My minmatar dual tanked fits can now reach 570 eHP, (+10 more than normal) my armour regenration is improved slightly by the reactive plate buff, and I have another low slot where I can place a regulator.
My minmatar has literally become the best of both worlds (minus the massive eHP). Nova Knives are offically INSANE, I can actually kill people with them when I'm supposed to. Futhermore that little extra oomoh at ADV level has given a lot of dead heavies a big fright.
My ADS is more challenging to fly, more people are being imboldened by the SL buff, I may be eating humble pie on my opinions of the dropships not needing a buff, but I'd rather have it this way than them being overpowered.
Alot more turrets are surviving the duration of the match ad being manned more often (feeds my NK's) I've seen pushes succeed or fail because just 1 or 2 turret installations.
I'm seeing alot less of the caldari amd gallante scouts and the ones I do are still the ones playing it properly. Teams of sentinels are also much less common and those that are around aren't so badly brick tanked anymore.
The HMG is a hell of a lot less scary, not only can I easily outrange them, I can even outlast them in CQC if I'm mobile enough (more than my fair shair of heavies have died because they forgot about overheat). I'm also seeing less heavies with light weapons and more plasma cannons.
PERSONALLY I have seen DUST this balanced and enjoyable in ages, it's glorious.
They call me the Monkey - I like to jump off sh** and piss RE's all over your tank!

I must say, like you said, the turrets are now worth hacking, as opposed to blowing up within 20 second of the match. It makes it fun to use them, and now have an advantage to fight for :D

Swarms were not buffed in any way. In fact, they had had their damage reduced by about 72 damage per missile at proto. Swarms were not really nerfed either, they were simply changed a bit.
Issues I'm experiencing with swarms is that apparently two volleys destroyed my LAV without notice, and I can only assume they were invisible, along with their sound when traveling towards their target; however, they did make sound when contacting my LAV and inflicting damage, thus how I determined they were swarms, but never saw them approaching, nor heard them. I have read other accounts of this around the forums. It seems to be a somewhat rare/random and inconsistent bug, as it doesn't always happen.
I've also had swarm rounds fire for no apparent reason when using a swarm launcher after firing a single volley. Perhaps it's lag, or something with the coding, but it seems to be just as random. I don't even know if they're actual rounds or just something regarding the animation, but they did not appear to consume ammunition (I wasn't paying attention to the ?magazine/pack? either when this occurred, but I don't believe it consumed ammunition)
My apologies if I come off as an elitist, but I try to view things objectively, logically, and factually.

low slots are far too superior to high slots. the number one reason why the min assault is now a viable suite is because it now has an equal number of low and high slots. |

Against what my corp is telling me to report.. The Caldari Sentinel C-I is still freaking amazing. The change in high low configuration has made me change my play style and my K/D has gone up drastically.
Sorry guys but the changes where good all around so far. Looking forward to the Logi changes for Delta. Sitting on almost a million unallocated SP in anticipation of the logi changes.
Now if we can just get CCP upper management to take this game seriously, Dust needs more developer resources and a wake up call on what the direction should be not what the buzz of the year is..

A decent pilot can learn the damage levels through experience, rather than counting missiles. I'm a pilot myself, and never really payed attention to missile count, but rather how much damage I received, as I deemed it too distracting to divert my attention. Why did you find it necessary to include damage mods and the explosive bonus of the Minmatar commando... ? Of course PRO is 'offset' by anything of which that increases it's performance... like my assault Ak.0 that can stack 1,136 armour (a bit ridiculous).
That is not 'several buffs'. The damage increase for STD/ADV was a buff. Nothing else was buffed in that sense.
I may have wrote that post early in the morning and thought for whatever reason you were only concerned with PRO level swarm damage...

No, it wasn't. It was initially proposed, and then after lengthy discussion, it was decided to NOT remove it, an in fact the idea to give the Caldari Logi a sidearm as well and let the Amarr Logi keep its sidearm was forefront to the conversation. So not only did you refuse to actually log into the game and confirm it yourself, you're also clearly not following the discussions on the forums closely enough to stay up to date on the current state of affairs.

Right, because your SP, Gear, and ISK advantage from being a vet isn't enough of an advantage for you? Or the fact that the BPOs offer free to nearly free fits, meaning you earn even more of a profit. You flat out said before that the game "should be pay to win". Really? You think that's ok? Well of course you do, you already paid.
And what about us that like the changes? What if we WANT our BPOs to be the new layout because we like it better? |

ccp are good at making bad choices, its still on the table and even if its not changed in dust it can easily done for legion so either way i lose out and giving it to the caldari while not chanign anythng on that suit is still a bad idea so you end up making a suit better than the amarr without sacrficing anything

Well done sir.
It was on the table for hotfix charlie, for all i know its going into delta instead Yes i would complain about a change that ignores the choice i made, i went for the logi suit because it has a sidearm slot to make it more combative but instead if CCP removes it then my choice is invalid and i have wasted SP No, it wasn't. It was initially proposed, and then after lengthy discussion, it was decided to NOT remove it, an in fact the idea to give the Caldari Logi a sidearm as well and let the Amarr Logi keep its sidearm was forefront to the conversation. So not only did you refuse to actually log into the game and confirm it yourself, you're also clearly not following the discussions on the forums closely enough to stay up to date on the current state of affairs. But really, cry more, wrap that tinfoil around your head as tight as you can, lest the reason seep in. ccp are good at making bad choices, its still on the table and even if its not changed in dust it can easily done for legion so either way i lose out and giving it to the caldari while not chanign anythng on that suit is still a bad idea so you end up making a suit better than the amarr without sacrficing anything Are you on the payroll?
Are you really going to get upset over a change that might happen, sometime in the future, in a different game?
Well idea is that the Caldari and Amarr get 3 equip and a sidearm, the Min and Gal get 4 equip and no sidearm. Its my understanding is that the plan is to normalize the Logi slot layout to match that of the Assault, bringing the Cal Logi from 5/4 to 5/3.
And no, I would never work for a game company, I enjoy my current job too much. |

Your doing for free tho, if your gonna defend ccp this bad try and get paid for it
In DUST yes because 'muh choices have consequences actually doesnt if ccp decide to change everything on a whim and even if they dont do it in dust they can do it in legion because 'new game' which it isnt'
As for making a logi like an assault they did that before, so back to going round is circles |

Nah I can't do it full time, if I was an employee I'd have to agree on everything they do, and I don't.
And you're right, they can do whatever they please. Better to learn to deal with changes now, because it's impossible to make everyone happy, so every change is gonna **** someone off and make someone else happy.
Also if you look at the slot layouts as they are now, almost all of the Assaults have identical slots to the Logis, so I'm not really sure what you're getting at. |

Yes I apologize for coming off as insensitive to other players, but my point is that it is not that hard for new players with very little money to obtain the same advantage as vets with BPO originals. They can save there ISK to trade for them. This gives you something to play the game a lot for. I mean why else would you go into public battle after public battle as it is a bit boring.
BPO originals are very sought after, they are what gives this game worth, so far as I can see there is no other point in playing this game than to try and collect the tech. Planetary conquest is broken and what else are you going to do with your ISK, but spend it on something.
BPO originals are unique collectibles that should never be changed. You would not go back and try to change the story on a rare comic book. You can make standard, advanced and proto suits all much better than BPO originals, so that the BPO is obsolete, but you can not change the BPO. IT is set in stone when it is first created and sold. |

Charlie seems OK to me. I like the swarm tier changes, it feels a little weird only firing 4 missiles, like the installation changes. My Amarr Sent. is no longer proto at ADV, maybe nerfed a little hard, assaults are easy to fit and scouts are still hard to beat. I am switching my Galscout swarm fit for a MinAssault fit though, only slightly slower and more durable. I'll miss two equipment slots but I need them less with the ammo buff. Sniper reticle was a fix to a problem that created a bigger problem, thanks for the try, but no thanks.
I can't comment on Cal/Gal Sent. but overall it is mostly positive. Some of the people all of the time and all that.
Because, that's why.

I have yet to find a single bad thing about this update. The turret buff was great, the changes all around have been great. |

You have a odd fascination with BPO's, but don't see the point when I can use a militia suit that cose around 1500 to 2000 isk, which is pennies worth for a suit. After playing this game for a while, I find it difficult to die and shred people in militia and std gear. The only time where that doesn't happen is when half or more of the enemy team is proto and your's is filled with blueberries, which you are then screwed.
At most, BPO's could save me 10-15,000 isk in a match, which isn't significant in my book. I'm not the richest player, but do not understand it when people find it difficult to make isk...

The collectible part is the paint job, the function is the same as its counterpart. It is not obsolete because it is an unlimited ISK saver, and in many cases does not require skills to use. It has its advantages.
I'm also curious how you expect players to buy BPOs when CCP has already stated that they will not reintroducing BPOs back into the game for sale? |

I love the nk damage and hack is nice but I would prefer something ewar over the hacking bonus. If Gallente is the best, while Amarr and Caldari are (I quote you) "close seconds", then I'd call that pretty balanced. The only scout in need of serious attention would be Minmatar then. Much better than before.
yes that what I was trying to say the Minnie scout needs a boost but ccp wont because again ON PAPER they look balance. but Minnie is way behind. I will tell you why on paper it looks that way - due to proto Minnie having 3 high 3 low slots they can use them all for precision (still would NOT see any scout using 2 damp or gall & cald using 1 damp) and dampners just to see any of the other scouts and try to hide but still would be seem by amarr and gall running 2 complex precision with no speed and no ehp. |

This Spring/Summer on the Logi ALT I switched to a Sever BPO. 20k or better ISK savings kept him in the game after Uprising 1.8
On the flip-side the Dren Sentinel on my Main is saving 14k verses the A/1-Series. But the loss of a armor and a complex damage mod just isn't worth it.
I'm wondering if hotfix Charlie has increased the usefulness of the Raven BPO since it gets skill buffs.

The adjustments of the AI definitely balanced the new health of the turrets for me, and I really don't have complaints about them thus far. 'Locks onto you at a 75 meter proximity'. Shoots turret. Turret couldn't give a ****. The blaster seems to be the only that responds. The burst hmg is certainly far more powerful than is was before, and I'm shredding other heavies with it, and it seems overpowered. I loved the thing before, but hope they balance it accordingly and not make it another flaylock. I'm actually using the assault hmg. The changes for it were well implemented.
I still find it ridiculous that I can stack 1,316 onto my Assault Ak.0, have a proto light, std or adv sidearm, adv grenade, 2 complex and 1 adv sidearm, and all lows proto, with a nearly maxed out fitting in cpu/pg... 'not overpowered at all'.

When i did have a low slot it was filled with a armor rep to patch me up after a difficult fight. Cal sentinals are now in a very bad place. We dont have the PG / CPU to make many fittings now and we have no way for us to patch our own armor. In this regard we are unique in the game being literally the only suit that can not be outfitted to repair its armor.

As the Raven BPO is listed as a STD Minmatar Logi, it has received it's respective skills long before Charlie (and nothing was changed for the Minmatar Logi skill bonuses in Charlie). This would also apply to any BPO that is not of militia tier.
Getting money isn't hard either. It's painless and easy. By 'some people have a minimum standard they won't let themselves dip below', I assume that means that they refuse to use a fitting below a certain price? If so, that's entirely their issue, and no ones to blame. I'm not saying you're blaming anyone either. When using 'you' in most of my posts, I'm referring to the general players of this game. The only way to fix that is to simply get ride of that strange... ideal? Pride? Rather odd predicament to put yourself through.
The majority of my regular fits cost around 15k, and to make money it's as simple as using an approximate 2k fitting or the 4 BPOs given to you at the start of that characters creation. At this point though, isk is easily infinite throughout playing the game normally, without going into PC, hoarding/stealing cash from the corp, exploitation, and etc. I've stopped grinding for isk and am now comfortably bobbing around the loss and gain of 10mil in my wallet that is 6 to 7x's that amount.
I truly question how people can be poor or begging for isk... and I have a friend who has twice as much as I do, and they frankly haven't a care in the world how much they use or lose.
If you can run cheap fittings just as well as your more expensive fittings, then you're only improving yourself and making money while you're at it. Then you become like me. A master of militia and standard, but utterly sucks when using proto. I have no idea how that logic works, but practice has made that fairly evident to me... perhaps when using something expensive I play too cautiously? When it's cheap I have little care in the world and perform far better when price is of no concern and can focus on playing correctly... ? Hmm... I may have just answered my own question... oh well.
My apologies if I come off as an elitist, but I try to view things objectively, logically, and factually.
