Well I have all my SP and ISK in Minmatar gear:

Proto Minmatar Assault

Proto Combat Rifle

Proto SMG

Any of this get screwed with?

Assault SMG got a reduced clip size and an even tighter hipfire, Breach SMGs got a RoF buff, and I don't use normal SMGs so I don't know what happened to those.

Combat Rifles and other Projectiles had their profiles swamped from 5/5 to 15/15. It's a bit worse against Shield Tanks, but it drops Armor Tankers like butter.

MinAssaults and other Minmatar suits got an eHP increase to balance out their speed advantage. As for Assaults in general, they buffed their HP and slot layouts substantially. (2/2, 3/3, 4/4).

Thank you for the following revelations stranger.

Atiim got most of it right but except one thing...

Projectile profile used to be -5/+10, not -5/+5.

Other than that, spot on.

And finally, the sidearms all got rebalanced. SMG is no longer king, the Bolt pistol is now.

Minmatar assault got a huge buff. Combat rifles and smg's had their damage profie changed though. You can't fight in here! This is the war room.
Thumb Green Raymond James Corp 1566	Posted - 2014.09.28 15:03:00 - [7] - Quote Balance wise it's seemed to have gotten better and for some people the matches have been more even with this new MU system they're going with, since you haven't played in a while it might be skewed for you for a bit. DeadlyAztec11 wrote: Well I have all my SP and ISK in Minmatar gear: Proto Minmatar Assault Proto Combat Rifle Proto SMG Any of this get screwed with? Min's got an HP buff if I recall correctly. CR and SMG got nerfed against shields but buffed against armor. The Assault SMG got a damage nerf but a ROF buff if I recall correctly. Edit: Also I remember you so, hey man.

Also, OSTRAKON#2014 I say give it a spin, I mean its free to play and all so there is little harm giving it 5 games to see where its at. CCP Rattata did lots of work with hotfixes. I mean this here is hotfix delta changes alone https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=176078&find=unread Alpha and Bravo and Charlie where in total nearly twice as extensive in things that got changed up.

And Assaults got a buff, with Delta even adding HP to all Minamatar suits other than scouts. Not to mention team balancing. At the very least give it a try. You can always tell a Millford Minja
