Apocalyptic Destroyer KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 193	Posted - 2014.10.27 04:11:00 - [1] - Quote 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 ? \\CPM's Are Forum Warriors// Pain is weakness leaving the body.

CoochMaster Flex Contract Hunters 17	Posted - 2014.10.27 04:17:00 - [2] - Quote 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.
Apocalyptic Destroyer KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 194	Posted - 2014.10.27 04:28:00 - [3] - Quote 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 ! \\CPM's Are Forum Warriors// Pain is weakness leaving the body. You Underestimate Me, ADS, Tanker, Heavy, Scout
Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens Capital Punishment. 2188	Posted - 2014.10.27 04:34:00 - [4] - Quote 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!"

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 \\CPM's Are Forum Warriors// Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Apocalyptic Destroyer KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 194	Posted - 2014.10.27 04:47:00 - [6] - Quote 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. \\CPM's Are Forum Warriors// Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Auris Lionesse Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 1039	Posted - 2014.10.27 07:13:00 - [7] - Quote no. bonuses should go through the vehicles. thats like wanting a pod in eve to have bonuses for being inside of a ship. redundant. Don't vote for iron wolf saber. Vote for someone who will help the community i.e. anyone else.
negative49er Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 572	Posted - 2014.10.27 10:17:00 - [8] - Quote 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 Dedicated Shotgun Scout and professional backstabber
RemingtonBeaver Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1235	Posted - 2014.10.27 10:38:00 - [9] - Quote 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'm all for a pilot suit.
La Lore Sleipnier THE PR0T0TYPE 149	Posted - 2014.10.27 11:01:00 - [10] - Quote So there are suits to make more effective modules and weapons but we not have the same for vehicules... Yes the game is balanced (sarcasm) Soy una hoja al viento a merced de los elementos... https://dust514.com/recruit/MfQjol/

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 .
postapo wastelander Wasteland Desert Rangers 391	Posted - 2014.10.27 13:18:00 - [13] - Quote 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. "Nanohives, repairs or droplinks, just ask me on field i can tink anything"
Banjo Robertson Evzones Public.Disorder. 290	Posted - 2014.10.27 16:25:00 - [14] - Quote 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.
Bahirae Serugiusu Vendetta Reactionary Force 212	Posted - 2014.10.27 16:41:00 - [15] - Quote 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? Theres always money in the banana stand.
Nirwanda Vaughns 863	Posted - 2014.10.27 16:46:00 - [16] - Quote 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 Never argue with an idiot. they bring you down to their level and beat you through experience proud C-II bpo owner

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 think most of you would agree a Heavy or Tanked out Forger popping out of a tank or ADS is a no-no ? Shouldn't need a pilot suit for MLT vehicles. 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.

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?" Thank you for saving me the typing effort. Literally 100% of what I wanted to say. TL;DR: Pilots say they want th Pilot suit, but honestly it will hurt them more than anything. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

Apocalyptic Destroyer KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 209	Posted - 2014.11.02 05:20:00 - [37] - Quote A Pilot suit would not keep you from dying. the Pilot Suit is only there as I am seeing it is to use your Vehicles, hence not being able to operate a Vehicle without the Desired Pilot suit and also to stop Heavies or AV pooping out of a Vehicle. The Only vehicle not needing a Pilot Suit would have to be the LAV. This, I just thought of would stop another problem, which is vehicles being stolen such as an ADS, DS or Tank.

How dare you bring intelligence to this place? Flee us. So of those yes are covered by the vehicle tree however I am fully supportive of a specialise suit that pilots can use to boost their performance at the cost of their capacity to use AV while in a vehicle. Frankly the fact that players can carry AV options, loose a fight with an enemy tank, then suddenly pop out and instantly be able to engage the vehicle they should have been killed by is a bad set of mechanics that only serve to punish the victor and reward a losing player. I feel there should literally be no reason why a vehicle pilot should not want this. If they are a pilot then they should be a pilot. if they are an assault player then they should be an assault player,and both roles should come with limitations and role enhancing benefits. E.G- Pilots cannot fight on foot effectively, assault suits cannot pilot vehicles effectively. GÇ£How does this all work then?GÇ¥ GÇ£Like so Choirboy.GÇ¥ Mila to Kador, Sub Zero Club, Shoashu Sasaanko
