Breakin Stuff Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 6797	Posted - 2015.01.27 16:03:00 - [1] - Quote Pilot suit: Light suit Fitting slots: Sidearm only Role bonus: STD: You may spawn in STD Vehicles ADV: You may spawn in ADV Vehicles PRO: You may spawn in PRO Vehicles No BPO for the pilot suits, that way pilots can bypass the normal RDV spawn and avoid getting vehicle lockout because of free BPO vehicle spam. Putting it behind the level 5 frame skill means only people who are serious about being a vehicle driver primary will go for the suits. AV

Where is my bonus to vehicles for putting in 2.7mil SP? 3. I should be able to have a BPO all the other suits do

Soul Cairn Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 12	Posted - 2015.01.27 16:57:00 - [6] - Quote I normally don't post at all, but I had to voice my concern about this. I like that each tier allows you to call in the same teir vehicle. Will the suit also allow pilots to get priority when calling a vehicle in? I also wanted the suit to provide a bonus toward it's racial vehicles. I feel as though getting the basic frame to 5 is a bit much. I use every single vehicle, therefore most of ny SP is in vehicle operation, upgrades, and turrent operation. I'm concerned about the amount of SP I'll have to pour into suit. It would take away from the overall effectiveness of my fits. Kick reason out to the curb.

I think you guys are better qualified to cook up actual racial bonuses for vehicular homicide, don't you think? I just posited the role bonus. I leave the rest up to you lunatics. and the hefty SP investment would be so say I cannot simply go "Oh! BPO!" and spawn instantly in my free LAV. Actually they could do the BPO as long as they didn't make it no skills needed. I figure the casual drivers need to be a bit lower in the priority chain. Because WTF is the point of being vehicle specced if I can make an LAV pyramid and deny you the vehicle spawn you need? AV

Thats because its a terrible idea which should be grounded before it can get up in the air 2. With the 1 role you give it you are punishing std players who have to wait to go all adv before they can go up - remember infantry suits can get upto 3 bonuses 3. It has to affect all vehicles so players cannot even use basic LAV to get around 4. You give it useful bonuses like 5% to PG/CPU per level, or even something to shield/armor values even if its HP or even a % to module cooldown/activation timers 5. Also no module slots? such a waste can easily have modules which enhance the vehicle in many ways leading to more modules and skills

Alaika Arbosa Minmatar Republic 2443	Posted - 2015.01.27 17:27:00 - [12] - Quote I like the idea I had put forward a while back that would allow your Dropsuit mods to affect your vehicle and bolster them. Fit Shield Regs to your Pilot suit and it reduces your Recharge Delay on your DS/HAV/LAV etc. I also like the idea of replacing the Light Weapon Slot with a Vehicle slot. It shouldn't be a requirement for Vehicle use, though it should provide tangible benefits outside of circumventing the vehicle queue. We the pc players make up a huge majority of active players. --Roman837 ^^ROFLMAO OMG I need to catch my breath now..

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2016	Posted - 2015.01.27 17:46:00 - [15] - Quote For a 2.7m sp investment.... The pilot suit seems incredibly weak / useless. I have no ideas on what to do with it or how to make it better. I know that the CPM "want" it to be a thing as it "equals out the difference in maximum sp investment between infantry and vehicular roles"... But I'm still of the opinion that every point of sp spent into infantry roles is inherently much more valuable than vehicle roles. Infantry are ubiquitous, they are needed to play the game, vehicles are still treated like temporary powerups rather than healthily functioning roles in their own right. Maps are too small for dropship transport to be a viable role, LAV's are treated like taxi's and HAVs are apparently only meant to fight installations (which don't auto-target infantry so aren't a threat to them) or other HAVs, because it (admittedly) ruins infantry lives when tanks are good at killing them. I know this all sounds very ranty and I'm trying to be as constructive as I can, but I just don't see a point to pilot suits - the 'convenience' of not having to wait for rdv queue at the start of the match means nothing to me. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

Well as Breakin stated, there needs to be more to it than just skipping the queue. The primary issue you run into with pilot suits is, do you make the bonuses so good that anyone without a pilot suit is basically screwed? And then do you balance AV against a vehicle with or without a suit? Or do you make the bonuses fairly weak, and make it not worth the the SP investment? Even if you go with the first, assuming the suits cost the same amount of SP to skill into, you quickly run into an extremely inflated SP barrier to be viable with vehicles, because you need to train not only the vehicle, but the suit as well. On top of that there is the ISK cost you also need to consider, assuming vehicle destruction would also kill the pilot.

It's almost like you're following me, my own little fan club trying to derail every thread I make. This is rather pathetic, you know. The bucket is over there. go cry into it. They are bad ideas. They offer no bonuses to reps, shield, raw HP, turrets, nothing. Just the ability to spawn in vehicles. That's like a logi suit only being able to use their one piece of equipment, in which case the PRO Min should have 2 equipment slots, Amarr remains at 3 at PRO, Gal at 4 at PRO (master race much), and Cal at 4 as well. Why the Min having only two? Core Focused and Lai Dai rep tools. I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't call for a tank nerf before Uprising 1.7. - Atiim

I still like the idea of increasing the limit and changing values for different vehicles. Give each team 16 vehicle points and then make LAVs cost 2 VP, DS cost 4 VP and HAV cost 8 VP.

No; good pilots without a pilot suit will put up a good fight against those with one, and will probably win if the one with the pilot suit makes a mistake. And then do you balance AV against a vehicle with or without a suit? Balance AV around STD vehicles. Oh wait.............. Or do you make the bonuses fairly weak, and make it not worth the the SP investment? Then there's no point in having them in the game. Even if you go with the first, assuming the suits cost the same amount of SP to skill into, you quickly run into an extremely inflated SP barrier to be viable with vehicles, because you need to train not only the vehicle, but the suit as well. There's those of us that only want to be pilots. I'm including myself in that, because I don't want to have PRO infantry suits, as I don't care about them. On top of that there is the ISK cost you also need to consider, assuming vehicle destruction would also kill the pilot. PC pilots are probably space rich, so that's not an issue.

Another direction I was going is that link modules let you modify how the tank performs. Effectively the pilot suit becomes the "rigs" of the tank, offering increased shield recharge at the cost of boosting, ect. Allowing you to push your vehicle into a heavily specific role, both in terms of offense, defense, and utility.

Essentially if you are in a vehicle you should play only as a vehicle, not as a player with a proto dropsuit inside a vehicle. Because, that's why.

Certainly you can argue logically that the pilot suit directly aids with the processing of information and the optimisation of systems by having certain specific algorithms pre-programmed into them via modules or as passive suit benefits. However if you want something like flares that kind of stuff is mechanical and a part of your tank not the suit. "This is the Usumgal boy, the exalted dragon, wreathed in the fires of heaven.

And i reallllllllly want one. But how does a suit suddenly make a tank shoot flares out its arse? IDK, I think the idea of having the Dropsuit mods fitted to the Pilot suit affect the vehicle is more reasonable. It wouldn't be anything new to code besides the connection between the Pilot suits mods and the Vehicles stats. Beyond that, most all of the items that would be available would have rather straightforward benefits instead of things like "Nanohives make me a mobile Supply Depot" "Remotes give me Chaff flares" Biotics would be useless, EHP (extenders/plates) would be rather useless too. Damage mods could be applied as a flat % bonus to Damage (stacking penalties like usual). Scan Mods would affect Active Scanners or make the vehicle "Stealth". Rechargers/Regs/Reps would all provide tangible (albeit minor in the case of Reps) benefits. We the pc players make up a huge majority of active players. --Roman837 ^^ROFLMAO OMG I need to catch my breath now..

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2026	Posted - 2015.01.28 14:38:00 - [51] - Quote So here's a thought... It's tied in with another persons suggestion though. Specific vehicles (LLAV's, dropship, logi-ds) get 'equipment' slots for stuff like bubbleshields, aoe infantry reps (modelled after triage nanohives), maybe even moving MCRU's into this equipment slot, etc. pilot suits can then be used to augment these vehicular equipment pieces, either by reducing cool down or increasing functionality. It's kind of a two-phase idea though. Step one would have to be the equipment & slots, step two would have to be the pilot suit. Would also fix up some issues with MCRU's eating up 'tank' slots on certain vehicles. Edit: further thoughts include potentially moving most non-weapon / non-tank oriented 'utility' mods into these equipment slots: so scanners, fuel injectors, afterburners, MCRU's, remote repairs, whathaveyou. Set up vehicles with hard defined equipment totals and you can get interesting stuff like a uhav with a bubble-shield for crisis moments, old remote-rep spider tanking, current scanner & prop SHAVs, etc. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu.

Now, I think some utility should be tied to the slots of a vehicle, as that is typically what the off-rack is for any they offer a tangible combat benefit such as fuel injectors, afterburners, damage mods, ect. Those are like your KinKats and damage mods on a dropsuit. However, Scanners, Remote Reps, mCRUs....all of these things can be mirrored from Infantry Equipment, and it may actually be better to be consistent in how those are fit to both vehicles and dropsuits alike.

Derpty Derp Dead Man's Game 689	Posted - 2015.01.29 19:52:00 - [53] - Quote I'd settle for the pilot suit to be a plain old suit with no weapons/equipment/modules, that's required to pilot a vehicle. No more solo tanker getting out and spewing av greanades and swarms everywhere. (Probably the best course of action from that Prima guy yesterday, after having your teams 3 tank posse taken out by one guy >__>) No more "my vehicle's about to blow, better jump out and start spraying that HMG" No more driving an LAV next to someone and switching to the blaster turret to down them (even if they are a protato HMG.) & my personal favourite... No more 'cannon fodder' climbing into the drivers seat while I'm trying to do something useful... But they can still sit in the turrets... & spray that tank I'm trying to sneak up on, just to let them know I'm coming.
Joel II X Bacon with a bottle of Quafe 5842	Posted - 2015.01.29 20:08:00 - [54] - Quote Incomplete idea, and as such, it's a bad idea. First of all, locking vehicles to a certain suit is a bad idea. Second, the skill is a pretty bad idea. Third, what would be the incentive of using a suit above STD if at full level? Forth, why must a Pilot have to spend more SP to unlock their suit, when every other Dropsuit role need only be at 3? Your reasoning behind it is both insufficient and bad. There was another thread on pretty good ideas for this suit, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Godin Thekiller The Corporate Raiders 2753	Posted - 2015.01.29 20:31:00 - [56] - Quote After thinking about it more, I see it like this: Using a pilot suit would mean that it's specifically made to use vehicles. using a combat suit obviously would therefore be worse than using a pilot suit, but nerfing them just to make pilot suits better is out of the question, as baseline should be balanced with baseline imo (if there is ever an AV suit, vehicle with pilot vs. AV w/e AV suit). Seeing as mechanical things don't even make sense (how does putting a mod on a DS make flares shoot out of a vehicle?), I was going for more electronic based things, as what I think of the vehicle as is a extra computer built onto the suit, being able to process things better. Going with that logic, electronic-based equipment (if they come) and modules (like scanners) should be bonused, things like "better" HUDS (as in more info and stuff), a bigger map distance, a more detailed map, stuff like that. click me Blup Blub Bloop.

I don't understand what you're saying here. The way I see it, you could make every suit but the pilot suit have near crippling drawbacks to the vehicle performance like for example 2/3 speed, 2/3 torque, 2/3 rate of fire. The pilot suits schtick would be that they are the ones that can use vehicles to their full potential. This translates into making the dropsuit SP investment 'vehicle operation V'. Why is this a bad way to go, y'know, apart from not giving drivers something but instead forcing them to spend SP to get back what they had... I'm coming at it from a '**** sentinel drive-bys and jihad jeeps' perspective...
