Kudos to you! I honestly didn't see a suggestion I didn't like the sound of. Right now the flaylock pistol is massively underpowered and I definitely think it needs some help, bigger clip size and maybe 1 foot blast radius increase sounds good.

Thx bud

I would actually run two concurrent changes:

1: Increase payouts in pubs, with more ISk going to wins, to encourage people expending actual :effort: and advanced fits.

2: remove lock timers, do not give passive ISK. Make clones cost less. multiply PC payouts to 5x Pubs. 8x pubs if you are defending your district and win. Allow other corps to "Defend" your ground. If they win they get 5x multiplier plus bonus for a "win". Once per day your control of the district can be contested. if you win, you keep your 8x bonus. If you lose, the district flips.

Bring back passive isk generation, but make where the the district cannot be under attack or locked in order for it to be used, also, make about 500k a day per each reinforcement time, with clones able to be sold at 10k a clone (selling 150 nets in 1.5 million, on top of the 500k a day per district.

Others:
-Lower ADS prices very slightly, see what is said, lower more
-Make standard dropships useful for things other than ramming expensive ads and transport. Perhaps they are built in with mobile CRUS. Basically make DSs Logi DSs, but with less armor (mirrors the real thing no???)
-Full Respec a week after so everyone has acclimated to the changes, the bonuses will be set, and everyone will not what they are looking at

-1.9 is next after Hotfix Delta: Full Racial Parity of Heavy Weapons, and Vehicles. WE WANT OUR MINMATAR/AMARRIAN VEHICLES.

Thx for your time y'all. We may now discuss

First of all, damn good job CCP on Hotfix Charlie. My Assault suits are now very viable, versatile, the LP payouts are amazing beyond all belief, and the game feels rather fresh. The small tweaks to installations are nice as they stick around the battle, but I wouldn't mind them be more strategically placed around the map, really making it so scouts need to get behind them and re the **** out of the controllers. Anyhow, since Delta probably won't come till around October or Mid-september, let's make it one for the books

Suggestions

1. Each following hot fix will possess fixes to each part of Dust: Pubs/Gameplay, FW, PC

1a.[PUBS: Move Installations to more strategic areas, such as closer to the middle of the map so tankers can get there before infantry to destroy, or have their scouts hack and shut down enemy vehicles

1b. Change the stats on RES to properly reflect what they do, seeing as they all say they do the same damage

1c. Sidearm rebalancing. SMG is devastating close up, but loses out in range to other sidearms. Magsec is the range SMG, but with kick. The Scrambler Pistol has tight hip fire while the Bolt pistol has greater damage at range. Ion Pistol should should a tight-hip fire spread, and could possibly be automatic. The Flaylock could have more rounds in its clip, but that's it. Very slight blast radius increase if any is needed. I mean no more than a meter increase.

1d. Logi survivability. For a 250k suit, we can be rather easy to kill. Granted, some logis lack gun game, but there are legitimate times that there is simply nothing that we can do. Warpoint overhaul for logis so we can be rewarded for risking such high asset suits, but only for more risky situations. I-Shayz-I had a great post on what possible war point introductions could be.
- Gallente Logis/ Active Scanner are +25 per intel kill assist
-Rep tool point caps are scaled, with proto taking the longest to cap out, while normal/mediorce reps point cap far more quickly.
-Nanohives gain +5 per each pulse they give, however if the target is shooting while on the nano hive, no points are giving. Cap for the nano hives ends after fifty, triage goes until extinguished. Severely cap the limit of Triage hives so the Caldari Logi has more meaning.
-Logis don't just excel in one aspect, they are great in all equipment, and then better in one area. For ex: Caldari Logi
:: Current bonus+ 2% Bonus to all other equipment+ 3% bonus to Active Scanner usage

Bad example, but all logis can use other racial equipment, just not as well as the race that made it.
-Fix bug where Amarr Logi's who change out to a different make their uplinks crappy. Makes no sense, and you can't penalize someone for changing to the flow of battle.

Add in the tiered Warpoints for nanite injectors

2. FW: Completely flesh-out the loyalty store. CCP, it's that time. With FW now bigger thanks to the triple payout, we can sustain our arsenal. However, everyone I know is bored with the items we can get. Add in all weapons, suits, and hell, even vehicles to the store. If we're going to have to wait till November, so be it.

2a. Add EVE Millitia channels or make it easier for them to contact us Dusters. Eve pilots are hard to get a hold of, but OBs can truly win battles

2b. Add the ability for us to choose where we fight. No need for team deploy, Q-Syncing works great as it is.

2c. FW ranks. CCP Rattati, you have a brilliant thread on that. We'd like to see it realized in Delta

These are some good ideas. I really hope CCP brings passive Isk back because it's really hard right now for the smaller corps to make money to attack other corps especially since CCP raised the price of a clone pack

When did small corps without batphones do well?

There's always a few up and coming corps that do well. Sure they hire a few ringers at first, but just until they get on their feet

1 sec I'll get the picture of "a few"

lol I remember that G0DS was brand new. Like I said most new corps hire ringers and as they get bigger they use less ringers

lol Of course this guy wants passive ISK back. Riding the coat-tails of good corps isn't as easy these days is it?

If you want to be taken seriously regarding your ideas about PC maybe you should actually play PC.

had a quick skim..

SMG is already like that and assault variant is like light weapon fitting but with 50 or so less dps so it seems fair and sometimes with certain loadouts we can only fit an SMG.

MAGSEC may need a little look maybe tighter dispersal and longer range/damage falloff+optimal

i would like to see a BURST varient for scrambler pistol

Ion pistol charged shot needs ScR treatment so you can do 1 charged shot Followed by a few followup shots before it seizes up, and possibly a burst variant too

as for 250k suits.. i have already started farming FW for my logi suit.. 8.6k and 155lp.. good times.. but on that suit with current skills 3 plates+rep and im at like 3.7meters a second movement speed.. it makes me cry when im trying to keep up to a rep target.. and we definatly need more eHP

Great ideas Headstrong. ADS lowest price im suggesting is 75k and highest price is 200k

That is too little in my eyes unless the Afterburner is a significant amount of that cost. Max cost should be 450k

100k less than a Proto tank. A complex afterburner should be very expensive as well

Logistics Dropships should be costing current ADS prices as they repair tanks, dropships, Lavs and have a built in mobile CRU while have a very high tank. Standard Dropships should be primed for Troop Gunning and Transport. Bonuses to turrets if you skill into the dropship, while the Assault is Agile and has a gun but loses tank and modules to add more

Basic Dropship ( Myron with 3 turret slots per side maxed out)- 200k

Assault Dropship (Python with Proto Modules and XT-1 Missle)- 450k

Logi Dropship (mCRU, High tank, Shield Repper transport and Armor repair)- 550k

*Reduce the hull costs of the ADS, but increase the price of an Afterburner

A hull should cost around 200k, maybe 250.
