MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 1932	Posted - 2015.01.20 10:00:00 - [1] - Quote Assault C/1-Series 2 Complex shield extenders 2 enhanced shield recharger 1 enhanced reactive plate 1 enhanced shield regulator SB-39 Rail Rifle SR-25 Bolt Pistol Locus grenade Nanite injector 489 shield 236 armor 55.19 hp shield regen 3.5hp/s armor 3.68 / 5.05 shield delays Regulation & Recharging are insanely good on caldari suits due to already high shield recharge values. This fit requires a bit higher cpu / pg skills to fit everything nicely, but otherwise it's a really durable fit. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

When in danger or in doubt don't be shy just whip your bolt pistol out. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

There's some conflicting views... Due to the lack of a low slot at level one they struggle with armor repairing issues, they've also got long shield delays, low shield recharge, low stamina and bad ewar, this is sort of a persistent problem throughout the commando role though. Minmatar commandos also get a lot of attention for the 'bonus' they get to swarm launchers which is somewhat unintended. The trade off though, is that (should you choose to) running three complex light damage mods on a proto suit with level 5 skills gives you about a 32% increase to light rail dps, jumping you from ~330dps on a std rail rifle all the way up to around 480 dps before bonus to armor or proficiency. Commandos hit unbelievably hard and murder armor with impunity, a few squadmates have been surprised by the dps that they put out over huge ranges. I would almost never recommend them for sniping because primarily I feel that sniping is a broken role/weapon. An advanced cal commando with a rail rifle & swarm launcher is able to engage a huge range of targets at long distance with competence and confidence. Commando's are a pretty wonderful class to play if you're unsure of what the changing nature of a battle will bring or if you want to hit EXTRA hard. As far as the caldari go the bare minimum standard for play is the advanced suit, they provide a lot of versatility in weapon selection. If you've never played in a commando squad you're totally in for a treat. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

I knew my fitting stacking extenders must be sub-optimal, but I wasn't sure where to go. No damage mods on your suggested fits then? They're incredibly hard to squeeze in, I think it might be possible to work one in instead of a recharger/energizer somewhere but it means giving up something elsewhere... the tradeoff might even be having to downgrade to a std rail and then only having an enhanced damage mod. Which is exactly the same as using an advanced rail. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.
MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 1959	Posted - 2015.01.22 13:33:00 - [5] - Quote With assault suits, unlike heavies they're not massive upgrades over their militia or even 'medium' frames. The biggest advantage to them is the high number of slots they have and to that end they benefit most from having better support skills like shield extension, engineering and electronics. My suggestion for skills would be Bare minimum skills to get caldari assault to 1 Get primary weapon & sidearm to level 1 Get armor plating to level 1 (basic reactive plates) Start working on shield extension to 3 (adv shield extenders) Upgrade powergrid / cpu as needed for fit (dropsuit upgrades / engineering / electronics) Work on getting shield extension to 5 and shield upgrades to 5 Get caldari assault to level 3 Work on getting electronics and engineering to 4 Once you're at this stage you should be able to fit a few complex shield extenders to your assault and standard modules elsewhere. After this I'd recommend: get armor plates to level 3 (advanced reactive plates) get shield recharging and regulation to 3 get rifle & sidearm to 5 (optional: get proficiency in rifle to 3) get cal assault to 5 get armor upgrades to 5.

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 1963	Posted - 2015.01.22 16:26:00 - [6] - Quote ^Just as an FYI (and a disclaimer) nothing that middas or myself says is gospel. We're both relatively skilled players with decent understandings of things but these are suggestions and recommendations, not things that must be followed blindly. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu.

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2035	Posted - 2015.01.29 03:16:00 - [7] - Quote I recommend a reactive plate. I usually go with 3ext 2 energizer. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.
MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2043	Posted - 2015.01.30 06:33:00 - [8] - Quote If you like using the rail, yes absolutely, having an extra magazine of ammo is always useful. Especially if you're running equipment other than nanohives. Reload skill is I believe multiplicative with commando / assault bonuses so its also good to take a few levels in.

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2060	Posted - 2015.02.02 14:18:00 - [9] - Quote sir RAVEN WING wrote: Is this fit any good? Calscout C/1 Ish Nova Knives. CRG-3 Shotgun. ARN-8 Cloak. I forget the mods. :/ Use a shotgun, or use nova knives, having both on the same fit is bad. You overspecialize at close quarters and leave yourself without any mid range options. Switch shotgun for assault rail, or knives for magsec. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.
MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2118	Posted - 2015.02.07 18:57:00 - [10] - Quote Tiny Pineapple wrote: Why do so many people suggest ADV weapons on ADV suits? Is it worth it to downgrade modules for a little bit of damage? Or is there more to it than that? I prefer to have better modules, but that's just me. Not to the mention the increase in cost from STD to ADV. I know this isn't Caldari related but I'm curious nonetheless. I want to add that this is the most helpful thread I have seen on these forums and thank all who contributed to it. Upgrading a weapon by one tier is essentially equivalent to putting on an unpenalized advanced damage mod for light weapons, or a complex damage mod for heavy weapons. If a weapon had 400 dps as a basic level item upgrading to the next tier would put it up to 420dps, which in theory grants more benefits in terms of faster TTK than the extra HP that going from a basic to an advanced module would provide in terms of survivability. When combined with damage mods this effect is multiplicative (420 * 1.05 = 441). It's really situational as to what you can downgrade for modules though. Armor plates? Best bang for buck is advanced. Armor reps? Depends on your hp, but complex is generally the best around (being 3x better than basic and 50% better than adv). Shield extenders? Go complex or go home. Rechargers/Energizers? Advanced is good. Precision amps? Complex is the only thing worth using. There's few hard and fast rules when it comes to fitting, because in the end you're looking at the overall stats of a suit and how it performs. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian.

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2124	Posted - 2015.02.08 03:17:00 - [11] - Quote Just posting one of my proto logi fits quick. It's pretty skill intensive to get it to work though. Logistics Ck.0 3x complex shield extender 2x complex precision enhancer 2x complex range amplifier 1x enhanced reactive plate 1x enhanced armor plate. Bdr-2 repair tool Allotek Nanohive (R) Nanite injector Rail Rifle Flux grenade. Ends up with 443 shield, 271 armor, 25 hp/s shield (4 / 6.13s delays), 4hp/s armor rep. 48.75 meter scan radius, 27db precision. Ends up with a short range scan of 10m and 24db precision IIRC.

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2146	Posted - 2015.02.10 04:46:00 - [12] - Quote gustavo acosta wrote: Skimmed through thread, so this might have already been answered does shield depleted delay happen when a dropsuit has completely exhausted its shield, or is it vice versa to regular delay? I read that depleted delay happens only when some shield is taken off the suit, but it was on profits so it could be wrong... Depleted only happens when you lose all of your shields, 'standard' is for when you lose less than all of it. There is a bug/feature though that when you get depleted and start recharging but don't get full / much hp back before being depleted again it instead uses your standard delay to determine recharge. In the case of every suit in the game except for a cal sentinel this is a positive thing, but with the cal sentinel having a longer standard delay than depleted its actually kind of bad for it.

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2146	Posted - 2015.02.10 22:50:00 - [13] - Quote Two shield extenders, One recharger, One regulator. Its the best combination of EHP, regen and delays. Spring for complex on the extenders if you can fit them. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.
