Many Caldari mercenaries have said that their suits as well as their weapons are innefective for the battle fields of Dust. I have respectfully disagreed on many occasions, but it seems that this myth has gone on to be considered fact by many Caldari Loyalists.Though this is not what dissapoints me.
What dissapoints me is what I see on the battlefield.
I see Caldari Assault's who are using their Rail Rifles like SMG's only to be slaughtered by people with actual SMG's. I have witnessed Caldari Assault's who are obviously brick tanking and are not using regulators nor energizers and who are then quickly disposed of following only one engagement where a better fitted player would have easily been able to recover all of their shields following an engagement and been prepared for the next.
I see Caldari players choosing to close the gap between themselves and the enemy rather than expanding the range so as to make better use of their weapon at range.
Now I understand that new players may have trouble grasping the concept that not all Assaults are created for the same purposes or that they do not understand that every race has a range where they excel. I have compassion and understanding for these players.
Though, I am utterly aghast to veterans, both known and unknown, who continue to hold on to these false beliefs and who fail to use the correct tactics when engaging enemies. It is a terrible affliction whom many do not seem to realize. None of the standard rifles were created equal. They all have their uses and it is time that the veterans of this game start to acknowledge this reality.

You misunderstood me. I did not mean I am dissapointed with people who choose to modify their suits for a different play style. I meant that I am dissapointed with people who fit their suits for a certain play style and yet use a completely different play style while playing.
A good example is Caldari Assault's who brick tank shields and armor and then choose to fight in CQC with their Rail Rifles. Yet they usually fail because they tried to use a long range weapon in short ranges, failed to use recharges/regulators, completely disregarded the shortcomings of shields and did not even comprehend the benefits of using a shield dropsuit.
This is what I am dissapointed in. The fact that many veteran players continue to fall into this is unnerving.

If one chooses to use the rail rifle because of the great reload bonus (lulz) then they may want to fight at distances. But shield suits doesn't mean that you have to fight at distances.
...in the same manner that armor suits doesn't mean that you have to fight at close range. There is nothing built in armor that gives you resistance in close quarters. Or, resistance at distance in shield suits. You die based on what weapon your enemy is using in regards to your suit and what you are using in relation to theirs.
The issue is the fact that you can do more with armor as far as survivability and offense than you can with shields which makes them more effective suits. Plus, the hp mods are better for armor than they are for shields, etc
I never said that shield users have to be restricted to long range or that armor tankers must fight in CQC. The Minmatar and Amarr are proof of this. Though the Caldari are best at long range and the Gallente are best at CQC.

A third regulator is indeed pointless. Swap it out for a reactive or a kincat. You're talking about MinAss right?
He meant the Caldari Assault.
Heimdallr69, I'd reccomend making use of either biotics, ferroscale or reactives and possibly dampeners or a code breaker if you feel the need.
