Don't ScPs have subtle heat buildup like the plasma rifle? I think I heard that it can seize up if fired repeatedly. Haven't run into that specifically though ans I haven't the skills for the ammo capacity required to make it work. If so, and the Amarr assault bonus applies to it, then that sounds useful enough to me.
They don't afaik. And that segues nicely into 2 questions I have.
(Disclaimer: I only run Amarr assault to have fun with laz0rs. I have not used the Cal assault in a long long time, since I got my Templar BPO there was no need to use the Dragonfly assault anymore. Same with Gal. I used to use the AR all the time, like everyone, but not for a while now)
1)Gallente and Caldari have by far the most diverse collection of weapons in the game. I therefore donGÇÖt get why a bonus that does not help all of them is a major problem. Example: The Amarr assault bonus only helps TWO weapons (We only have 3, 4 if you count the now-useless AScR). ThatGÇÖs not a valid reason to not use a particular bonus. This is a minor point, but to keep this discussion on track it really should not be forgotten.
2)Why exactly do we have to buff the AR to the point that it would become a viable option to go up against an HMG in CQC? IMO, the point of the AR should be to destroy anyone using a different light weapon in CQC. HMG vs AR should be no contest as the assault is more mobile.
One other thing, which I think is what morte was getting at: The RR is a dominant weapon, it doesnGÇÖt need a whole lot of help, unlike the AR. Why not GÇ£adjustGÇ¥ it to the point it becomes similar to the ScR (would still better than the LR) where it works OK on another suit, but if you really want to make it shine, you need to use the Cal assault? Meaning, increase the BASE charge up time, but with a Cal assault, the charge up time is still LOWER than it is now. Why is that such a horrible idea?
I'm not trying to be an a$$ here, and I acknowlege I have nothing to gain or lose from this, but I'm just curious why these things are or are not part of the discussion.

So much this. The last thing this game needs is further proliferation of multiple EQ slot suits.

Didn't they say that they were going to make all the logis at prototype level have 4 equipment slots? what ever happened to that?
Rattati does not care about logi suits; thinks they are fine. Most logical explanation.

Have yet to hear anything to the contrary; was told in discussions of prior hotfixes that the other things were "higher priority." So, I have drawn the logical conclusion based on my own personal biases.
1.9 will apparently trump this as well, though I completely agree with that, I'll live with my "relic of 1.7" suit for a little longer to get a buyback option and other highly necessary fixes.

I know YOU care, Cross. It's Rattati I'm not so sure about.
