1) The R&D budget is likely still all going into Legion.

2) Dust is likely paying its own way. You can probably thank those people running around in Quafe suits for the nice stuff we get now.

3) All of the stuff being added are working round the base framework of DUST. They are doing some amazing things with workarounds. But the base framework of DUST is flawed and limited, which is why Legion is a complete rebuild from the ground up. In many ways Legion will look like DUST, but with a better foundation to build on. Daily Missions and Salvage Boxes are being bought in to bring DUST closer to the experience they are designing in Legion.

* Supply Depot change is interesting to me. It is like the removal of ISboxer in EVE; "it had been there so long I am surprised that it is being changed." I would have expected a hacking terminal or a delay rather than keeping HP percentages. Will definitely make Logistics a more defined role. A good change in my book.

Might be worth having a Gallente Scout fit with all Armor Repair mods in the lows, just to switch to for a fast self repair. Then switch back to your combat suit. Not effective in combat, so should not be a problem, but useful if you are damaged, not under fire, and no one in the area has a Repair Tool or Rep NanoHive.

Major Warbarge Strike: Impact Radius = 250m, War Point Cost = 4000 (This is the current Warbarge Strike)

Man, those are obviously reversed in the patch notes...

I am pretty disappointed. Kind of deflated too. i have Uplinks Lv5, Amarr Logi Lv5, Remotes Lv 5, and nanohives Lv4. You have taken all that SP and compressed it into two minutes. Thats all im allowed to play the game for.

i used to go around setting uplinks with remote mines on them. Cant do that anymore. Used to go around delivering triage nanohives to the front line. Cant do that anymore. Used to go around putting down anti vehicle traps in the from of proxy mines, or anit personnel traps. Cant do that anymore. All i can do is spend 2 mins deploying, and then im supposed to be a subservient player who is FORCED to either repair or revive at the front lines in a non combat suit.


Scouts can use their cloaks anywhere an infinite number to times. Assaults can change to a different weapon/armor setup with no consequences. Slayers can change to a double swarm launcher commando to shoot down a dropship and switch back. Mine is the only role where im not allowed to wield my milions of SP. My unique playstyle is ruined. Everyone else gets to play their role and deploy a bit of equipment an d switch between other roles with no bandwidth.

And what was the problem? Spam? You mean people that drop 50 manohives at a supply depot? Thats not what i was doing. What about all the tryhard PC obsessed players? Are they still able to carry 1 uplink/nanohive in on their favorite proto suit? 6 players each bringing one nanohive is more destructive than the 3 that im restricted to now.


So congradulations, you gutted my role as a dedicated logi while still enabling those who cannibalize my role. You should atleast have the decency to give a free respec to anyone who is a dedicated logi. Im ruined, i got nothing left. I made my living delivering equipment and setting traps. Im a solo player what am i supposed to do now?


PS Merry Christmas thanks for the coal

What does it mean when

"range amplifiers now add 15%"

is this vehicle modules?

dropsuit modules?

I'm confused as there is a current tiered system for range amps now.

I think it's a good step, but the scans will only tell you what you already know: that you've either already been engaged, or murdered, by someone. The penalty to far range scans mean you'll almost never pick up anything but heavies.

This is how I feel about the Amarr and Cal logis, Rattati. You really should change their bandwidth, and do it soon so they could actually be of use. Why do they have lower bandwidth than the two suits that don't have bonuses to deployable equipment? This really doesn't make sense.

I'll post my own reply.

Im pretty skeptical. The ideologies are too conflicting. The concept of bandwidth is to limit deployed equipment, but as a good logi, I see that as limits to what I can do. If all my bandwith is locked up in my uplink with a remote mine in top, how am I going to put proxys down? Its like I have 3 choices:

-Place my uplinks and REs as i usually do, and do nothing about the unguarded rear of the bridge, which a HAV or LAV will certainly roll up on

-Decide to place the proxy mines and forfeit the "elastic front line" I had just set up

-Carry both proxies and my uplink gear, but have significantly less of both and consequently, do a half assed job on both parts that doesnt really get anything done or is not nearly as effective.


Right now, my only limits are time and enemy fire. If I cant beat both I can deploy a reinforced supply chain that is durable enough to withstand setbacks. After this patch thats prettymuch over. Everyones solution is prettymuch to just "rep and repair". But that takes away from me developping my own strategies and just leads to me propping up someone elses operation. I play almost exclusively solo.

* More information on the fitting screen is more better. The only thing I can say is "Why the hell did it take so long?!"

Should that read "Next Release 2.0"?
