CCP Rattati, I think rather that forcing us to either damp or scan by role, you should instead look at tanks.

Since precision enhancers take up high slots, and damps take low slots, in each role some races will be at a clear disadvantage with their choice of tank.
Armor Assaults will be at a disadvantage trying to hide, shield Logis will be at a disadvantage trying to scan, etc'.

But if you look at tanks...
Since you normalized the range of all suits to 15m, that means with scanning V I could get 21m of range without fitting range amps.
That means I have a higher incentive to fit precision enhancers than I did before, creating a use for an otherwise useless module for Gallente Assaults.
You could even move range amps to high slots, but I'm not sure what that would do to scouts and their meta.
If you incentivize it even further by making the EWAR bonuses race specific rather than role specific (Amarr -5 precision, Gallente +5m range, Caldari and Minmatar -5 profile), then that would be even better.


This would mean that Caldari and Minmatar Assaults would often damp, while Gallente and Amarr Assaults would often be scanning, creating a hunter/hunted cycle with EWAR without even having scouts or scanners involved.

Honestly Rattati, at this rate I'll just ditch my Gallente Assault.

Switch to a Gal Scout or a *pukes* Caldari Assault.
Been waiting months for my suit to be somewhat viable, and when it's getting so close you come up with this idea.

Make a new stat on all suits called mass. Speed/agility would be derived from mass. Light suits have low mass, heavies high mass. Plates would add a fixed amount of mass to the suits (except feroscale). This would heavily penalize the movement of low mass suits and less so on heavy frames (as a relative percent change). Likewise shield extenders would increase signature profile. Add a feroscale analogue for shield extenders without the penalty. This would more closely follow EVE.
