1. Small Blaster operation = 5% turret rate of fire per level
2. Small railgun operation = 5% turret damage per level
3. Small missile operation = 5% turret damage per level

GALLENTE ASSAULT DROPSHIP BONUS:

Primary: **10% reduction to small Blaster Spread** and 7% Small railgun distance level. Here you can notice that the emphasis is on utility and not on raw power; merely ease of use and since the spread is HUGE on the front turret that 10% dispersion is warranted and by no means overpowered. Distance on the railgun will permit the pilots to engage from farther away helping them maintaining line of site of the targets a lot easier. Since overall DPS of the turret is going to be nerfed considerably I believe that Being able to sustain fire from lets say a higher diver at a target or a longer first person view push would greatly effect the way the pilots engage in the Battlefield.

Secondary: 3% reduction to fitting cost of hybrid turrets


CALDARI ASSAULT DROPSHIP BONUS:

Primary: 7% bonus to splash radius of missiles per level. The idea here is that since ADS will now be more vulnerable they will be able to have mechanics that will help them engage in a gameplay style that adheres to drive by scenarios. By increasing the blast radius of missiles they would go from 2.5 splash radius to 3.3 meters splash radius. This will help utility but not raw power output. By comparison the splash radius of the PLC is 3.5 and that of the mass driver is 4.4 at proto level.

Secondary: 3% reduction to fitting cost of small missile turrets

***IMPORTANT NOTE: since the primary and secondary skills are supposed to be 5 and 5 in the skill tree I simply subtracted 2 from the secondary bonus and left it at 3 and added it to the main bonus and set it at 7. The net result is the 10% devided increase in stats that a regular dropsuit would get. The only exception is the small blaster spread that is set to 10% because if you look at this video you will see how horribly huge it is on the front turret.

1. remove any bonus that would modify damage from the ADS skill tree and place it under their respectful turret tree. You get the bonus if you skill the turret. Make it 5% to be in line with the counterpart gunnery skills.


2. Create utility bonuses, primary and secondary, that would permit a certain amount of ease of use but not power to the ADS. These are two and are in line with the assault dropsuit tree to keep sp investment parity between items (suits and ships). Distance bonus for rails, splash radius for missiles and spread reduction for blaster on their respective ships. Both get a bonus to fitting as is the custom on the assault dropsuits. Subtracted 2% from fitting bonus and gave it to the utility bonus to better help utility and avoid fits that are too powerful.

• What is the rate of fire of a Plasma Cannon vs a Missile Turret?


• What is the splash damage of a Missile Turret vs the splash damage of a Plasma Cannon?


• An ADS is almost always firing at a steep angle, while Plasma CannonGÇÖs only have this advantage when on top of buildings and such. If you miss a vertical shot with a splash weapon, the shot will likely hit the ground near your target and catch your target in the splash. If you miss a horizontal shot with a splash weapon, the shot will continue past your target and impact a wall or the ground well behind your target, well out of splash range. You can aim for the ground at their feet, but on a horizontal shot the target areas that will allow splash damage to apply to your target is a thin ellipse, while from the air this target area approaches a circle. This is why the Small Missile Turret is considered more effective on Dropships than on LAVGÇÖs.
