Just another not so smart-not so well thought out- idea by yours truly.

What if the Commander suits gave a temporary boost of abilities to teammates around them? They would have a timer between activating this ability and would activate it similar to activating a cloak. ALL BONUSES WOULD BE SLIGHT BUT NOTICEABLE! So basically Complex module sized temporary bonus.

The Suits:

Minmatar Commander - Temporary bonus to walking speed and sprinting speed

Amarr Commander - Temporary bonus to reducing weapon over heat and increasing weapon cool down.

Caldari Commander - Temporary bonus to shield recharge and time to initialize shield recharge after losing all shields.

Gallante Commander - Temporary bonus to reducing spread and armor repair.

The Catch:

Has very low HP
Slow compared to all other mediums
Low slot count
Low CPU/PG
No equipment

Only a sidearm slot

To prove I'm not totally evil... The core Commander skill increases sidearm danage by 3% per level.

I love the idea of passive assistance in the game, but I feel it's more of a logi thing? Without shutting the idea down, the only issue with speed is that only ones benefitin for speed is heavies in a way as they'd run at a similar speed? So you can imagine people moan! However I do love the idea of the passives :)

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.

Vell0cet Vengeance Unbound RISE of LEGION 2465	Posted - 2014.11.02 08:44:00 - [6] - Quote These should follow EVE's model. Command suits should be tanky with low DPS. I would say a high HP medium frame, with 2 sidearm slots and the ability to fit a warfare link module (in equipment slot) that provides a bonus to all squadmates in something like a 35-60m radius. Bonuses should be very useful like 15-25% increased armor, shields, speed, RoF, remote repair amount, scan precision, scan radius, etc. depending on the module fit. These should be very expensive, like 500K. I don't expect to see these until Legion. Best PvE idea ever!

The commanders just sit on an inaccessible point, while the heavy and logi wreak havoc below. I used the bolt pistol before it was (OP) cool.

I don't expect to see these until Legion. this, everyone else is wrong so far. though i would say heavy frame because the commando is closest thing we have to battlecruisers. and those command ships are battlecruisers too. Don't vote for iron wolf saber. Vote for someone who will help the community i.e. anyone else.
