Will they honestly ever be coming ? Given the fact of :
A) They are probably one of the easiest suits to make, a scout suit with only a sidearm and bonuses affecting things such as RoF, Cool-down Time, Maneuverability.
and
B) You honestly almost never survive when your ADS goes down, due to getting crushed in Mid-air.
If they do come, would you make it to where you can only operate a vehicle with a Pilot suit ? Exception being an LAV. I think most of you would agree a Heavy or Tanked out Forger popping out of a tank or ADS is a no-no ?

Give this man a medal! Give the tankers a little love with the pilot suits!
It's not about how much sheild and armor you stack to win. It's how you use the suit to win.

Note ! You forum warriors I am not stating that every suit is easy to make ! Compare it to the other suits and it is the easiest !

While this is an incredibly rude thing to do, I am going to copy and paste my response on this one rather than type it out again. Please do not be insulted by this as I do feel that this is an important topic of discussion:
At it's core, the Pilot Suit seems like a good idea. "It lets me use my SP to further define my role. Joe, you are a dedicated Tanker; why would you think it is a bad idea?" The main reason is because of balance and fairness.
CCP has an idea where game balance should be, or at least I bloody well hope they do. "Repair modules are letting people repair damage too quickly; let's lower them a bit." The problem with the Pilot Suit is that a few scenarios are likely to take place:
Scenario 1: Vehicles are balanced around having them. This means that without them they fall behind compared to "what they are supposed to be able to do." With them, you are right where you are supposed to be. It ends up being an additional SP sink for those that want to be pilots.
Scenario 2: Vehicles are balanced around not having them. This means that with them they likely pull ahead of "what they are supposed to be able to do." You will see a lot of things on the forums of "Tanks are too powerful!" all over again, in the droves that it once was. It ends up being a problem of balance.
Scenario 3: Pilot suits give a very small benefit. The problem here is what benefit would be worth blowing several million SP into?
That is a 3 way Venn diagram where you have to find some benefit that is not very important so they do not suffer too much without, small enough that vehicles are not too much with them, and big enough that spending points into is worthwhile.
Going the simpler argument: "I am Tank and he is AV. AV puts points in Dropsuit, his Swarm Launcher, and Dropsuit Upgrades. His Dropsuit and Dropsuit Upgrades work in different roles other than AV but his Swarm Launcher is ONLY AV. I put points in Turret Operation, Vehicle Operation, and Vehicle Upgrades. Those points are only used in that role. Why would you want to add another thing, Pilot suit, to the list of things that I need to do my role and do not carry over?"
"This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

I'm only proposing this due to the amount of damn vehicles I kill, but the people hop out as Forgers.
The bonuses can be anything really I can care less. Such as:
For ADS: A) Maneuverability B) RoF Increase B) Cool-down Reduction C) Afterburner Bonuses
For Tanks: A) Hardener Bonuses B) Shield Booster Bonuses C) Cool-down Bonuses D) Dispersion Decrease E) Cool-down Reduction

Also If and when they put in the Racial vehicles, this will add Racial Pilot suits. The only ones we could have now are Gallente & Caldari. I think it would be interesting to see Racial vehicles with Racial Pilot suits together & There would be no getting around this or exploits.

One thing I want to say is what going to be the point of wearing a proto suit when the skill goes to all levels. Not to mention that your going to be in a vehicle and not on the ground. You can wear the basic and save risk will still getting the bonus

The suit should lock the pilot into the vehicle. You can exit but with a 10 second timer. You know, because you have to link the suit into the vehicle and disconnect it in the same manner.
Hell give it a linking timer in and out.

I thought all of these items come via the SP's invested in the vehicle skill tree ?
More people trying to tell others how to play .
Don't use AV while using vehicles .
Don't use up links .
Don't wear prototype in anything other then FW and PC .
Don't JJ or kamikaze .
Don't snipe unless your 100m from the action .
I mean , who makes this $hit up and why must it apply ?
Why are there these people who try to confine the dynamic of free thought and strategy in this game ?
Edit : I forgot , don't strafe while shooting ... who can forget that one .?., I mean so many make post complaining about that .
Delta should come with a SP or infantry SP refund so that a campaign for one is not needed .

I actually believe this will be in upcoming time, there is still suit slot in market. And it can save pilots tears from last nerf (even i thing that nerf was fine).
With possibilitios to synch suit with vehicles for better maneuverability or shield regen boost etc. Upcoming 1.9 seems like great oportunitz for CCP to final release of last suit what is missing.

Pilot suit would go well with, dropsuit modules that effect the vehicle you are piloting!
CCP takes the current dropsuit core skills that unlock dropsuit modules, and adds in new modules in some of these categories that will be the pilot dropsuit modules which have a benefit to your vehicle.
This way, players get a benefit from their dropsuit pilot skill being higher level, and using a proto pilot suit allows them to fit more modules which have a benefit to their vehicle.

Well since there would have to be 4 varients of them all and with all the other suits having attempted faction specific (Rail damage for Cal Commando ect.) buffs. What buffs would Minmatar, Amarr, Caldari and Gallente have?

to be honest i tink we'll have to wait before we get the other racial vehicles before we'd ever see the pilot suits. who knows CCP may suprise us and release the racial vehicles in 1.9. the models are pretty much all ready, they just needed to balance the HP, skill bonus ect to them. vehicles/AV are finally closing in on being balanced so it may be a reality sooner rather than later

That is a nightmare waiting to happen for trying to figure out how the hell it works. CCP has had trouble saying "you can't drive this vehicle unless you have the skill" which is why it is only limited by fitting it and call it in. How do you think it will handle "Okay, he is in the tank with these skills, plus this suit, plus these modules"?
Plus, you fall into the realm of problems I listed above.

perhaps the pilot suit is going to be CCPs way of 'locking' the drivers seat of vehicles? you can only enter the pilot seat while wearing a pilot suit, and obvs you'd have to be wearing the correct pilot suit for the ship. ensure a minmatar pilot suit doesn't give a bonus to a gallente HAV. but you can still drive the vehicle. just allow LAVs to be driven by players wearign any suit.

If you are giving a bonus, you are still falling into the 3 problems that I think are likely to happen.
In this thread, I am really confused what the OP and others are asking for. The original post was along the lines of helping pilots out but it later comes out that he doesn't want the pilots jumping out with Forge Guns. If the concern is about people jumping out and running away or "ermergawd, he tots killed me with frog gun!", there are easier ways of suggesting change than bringing up an entirely new skill set that would be a complete nightmare to balance and to figure out the exact mechanics.

I wouldn't even make it to a suit where you would get it to Proto due to it not being worth anything, maybe a cheap ISK proto. But I'd like to see it at ADV only or Basic.

I think this will also balance the Militia Tanks as well ! usually 5/10 times you will get killed by someone using a Militia tank with a Proto Large Turret, and even if you kill the damn tank, you know that F@cker is going to hop out with a proto forge and take you out.

Maneuverability wouldn't work really. Rate of fire maybe, maybe even faster reload, maybe a reduction in heat buildup, maybe specifically something to reduce the railgun spool time.
Maybe some small passive resistance to whatever its HP tank is. For Gallente, 3% passive resistance against explosive damage to armor per level.
Or is that not fair, infantry?
I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't call for a tank nerf before Uprising 1.7. - Atiim

It's actually impossible to do on the Madrugar hull as Spkr suggested.
Can be done on the Gunnlogi Hull but requires max skill and both a CPU and PG extender which can be fitted primarily because Gunnlogi don't need their Low Slots to be effective.
