RATTATI WHERE IS MY DUEL

I believe is a way to fight (not good, not bad) and that is ok to change suit according to the target, but I do understand what you are saying too, so, just an idea, we should be able to change suits at any moment, but the x% damage done to the first suit should be pass to the second suit. So, if an assault is fighting a tank and he needs to change to AV, and the tank took away 75% armor and 100% shield, the next AV fitting, be it a sentinel, a commando or even scout and logistic, shouldnt have shields and only 25% armor left. Just an idea.

It's a double edge sword for me. I like that i can use it but i hate when others use it against me

The funniest fact is people having a fit for these situations on top of their fittings.

I make it a habit when the depot and CRU turns red to kill it .

That stops anything relating to such from happening .

I've had this done to me before and I just live with it because it's to be expected by those who are smart actually and if you give them enough time to do so .

It could be looked at as an exploit but I just don't see it that way , more like giving someone the opportunity to take advantage of such and it's my job to not allow that .

I just don't have a problem with it but I can understand someone else's gripe .

I think we can be a little to picky trying to regulate everything that goes on in-game instead of actually doing something about it personally , like jihad jeeps , DS ramming , EQ clutter , highly placed spawns , redline snipers and roof-top forges .

It's just silly to me to try to de-legitimize everything that someone does in game that someone else just doesn't like but it could be considered a tactic .

I like the fact that I have to look out for things and the fact that there are actually people who are USING there minds while playing to even think of some of this stuff .

Exploits are more or less like boosting or suit-imbalance issues or the shooting while cloaked problems where clearly someone is taking advantage of a broken mechanic .

I'm just not into regulating EVERY aspect of game play .

It's going to make this game vanilla and plain , also predictable and it will loose a lot of it's flavor .

I'd rather know that some situations I HAVE to use MY BRAIN and react or counteract someone else's attempt .

Spice of life .

How about you kill them while switching?
If a scout, you have no excuse not to have time to kill.

Except they are invincible when that happens.

Easier solution. Swapping takes 3 seconds after new dropsuit is selected.

That's why tankers blow up supply depots

They are? that really doesn't explain my deaths while in one, or my kills.

Also it's hard to take this thread seriously when the OP forgets grammar in half of his/her posts...

Its been an issue for the longest, I brought it up a couple of times (a long while ago) there just doesn't seem to be that many people that care.

once the switch they have a spawn shield until they move or its timer runs out
if they run around to other side its hard to shoot through solid objects also stop making excuses for bad mechanics

hard to take you seriously when you attack my english on a forum that has ppl posting from all over the world some who don't speak english as a first language

very decent idea but then again if i strip your 800 hp of shields from your cal commando with my SR and you have 100% armor then you swap to an amarr sentinel with an hmg i now have to deal with you 1200 armor hp and i have a SR so yeh im screwed right lol

EDIT: what if total hp of first suit was converted to a percentage and then applied to new suit?

If a scout with 100 shield/200 armor switches to a heavy, then the heavy should have 100 shield/200 armor ; If a 10 shield/500 armor heavy switches to that scout, then it should have 10 shield and full (200) armor.

Oh, in that case my advice of 'kill them before they can change' still applies.
If he/she runs behind it? wait, hide if you must. I do not see this as a problem at all, you have ways to counter it, but you ask for it to be changed so you may kill them easier? I say it is a terrible idea.
It's like the last changes made to the RR to make it useless in it's optimal range. I'm not making excuses, you are, I simply gave you a solution.

It's an issue. My suggestion since all shields recharge, require 100% shields before swapping suits to insure that a merc is not combat swapping. Please discuss.

This is a forum for English, therefore I believe it should be spoken.
It is not my first language, Swedish is my first.
