 Think skills. When you just get into the skills apply.
 
 Now link that w/ the suits: The "rigs" (watch the quotations!) are placed on suit. Just like the skills, they are applied in vehicle.
 
 So, the "rigs" are on suit and are applied "actively" (unlike fit building which is "passive") the pilot suit you build will determine the PG/CPU.
 
 Like an example I have is a damage modifier (damage control)
 I fit a basic shield damage control [ let's say 4% reduction to shield damage] i get a 3% reduction to shield extenders?
 
 Or, i fit a basic reactive armor? I get 100+ ahp with 15 rep but 2% reduction torque?
 
 *using small numbers just to show what I mean*
 Im not sure if I'm a huge fan of the tradeoffs you listed in your example, but I think we're on the same page in general. Don't worry, i just had to throw something out there for you guys to get the general idea. And i "think we're on the same page" too. I have no idea what to trade yet imho... Feels way too new for now to me ;D All i know a regulator will be the first thing I fit on all my pilot suits mmhm! For sure, pushing that shield recharge delay as low as possible would be awesome. Gimme a little time, I'll do a data pull from EVE to get some inspiration on a bunch of the modules/rigs they have there that have upsides and downsides. 
 Alright!

 3% recharge rate per level
 3% active module cooldown rate per level
 
 Those seem bit too high and in my mind the only way to apply those bonuses at those per level values is by reducing the efficiency of the standard modules so it doesn't push those attributes way out of whack. I see the Pilot drop-suits a supplementary to your choice of vehicles not wholly determining or supporting of one specific play style. Infantry gets 5% shield, armor, CPU and shield per level; 5% to armor plate, armor rep, shield extender, shield regulator and shield recharger efficacy per level for each individual module. If infantry can get that, surely we can get something from a pilot suit.
 
 The word you're looking for is complementary, not supplementary. The Amarr logi suit is complementary to the uplinks. You can use the suit without the links, but don't get a bonus to any other equipment. You can use uplinks with any other suit that has an equipment slot, but won't get the extra spawns or spawn time reduction.

 True but it's not quite a direct translation. For example, Armor Repairers on vehicles rep %eHP quite a bit faster than they do on dropsuits. Additionally we already have a skill which increases armor repair rate, just like infantry. However you're proposing a secondary bonus on top of the existing skill bonus. Not necessarily disagreeing with the idea, but you also can't make a direct comparison to dropsuits either.

 Or perhaps RIG's. Basically rigs are secondary modules that can be fitted to ships in EVE. The offer one positive and one negative stat alteration to your ship. E.G- A Small Locus Co-Ordinator increases a Laser Turrets Optimal Range but means that all fitted turrets of that type suffer from increased PG costs. Lets see how long it takes for Spkr to freak out about this idea... I was talking to Taka about that a while ago, but didn't know how to put it in the right words. Question is, can I put all complex rep mods on a pilot suit at level 5, with rep at level 5 for infantry, and get an insane rep rate on a vehicle with just one mod?
 
 Oh wait, that's OP.

 MINA Longstrike wrote:Made a suggestion about pilot suits a while back
 Phase 1) Vehicles get 'Equipment' Slots that you can fit stuff like active scanners / mcrus / other stuff into. Allows for further equipment iteration.
 Phase 2) Pilot suits modify the effect of these pieces of equipment (amarr has faster MCRU spawn & secondary effect etc etc etc)
 
 This makes pilot suits highly desireable for dedicated pilots, but it doesn't make them overpowered vs people who are simply dabbling in vehicles. In short, pilot suits become a highly desireable sidegrade based on how much time you spend in a vehicle.
 
 It also makes things a bit more similar to dropsuit function.
 Highly desirable? To who? Nobody, that's who. Who wants to dump 3mil SP into a suit that offers no bonus to the hull, or no bonus to a module that will actually enable the vehicle to survive?

 Complements the play style.
 
 For example and Amarrian Pilot suit might confer the following.
 
 1-2% per level reduction to the heat build up of energy weapons on the hull.
 1-2% per level tracking bonus for energy weapon on the hull (though this only really benefits tanks, lav, and DS gunners, not the DS pilots themselves)

 The only issue that I see is that the Rigs have to go on the hull if they ever affect specific attributes like PG/CPU, Shields, and Armour. It's silly being able to deploy something and then modify it in the field simply by hopping in. E.G- You fit Rigs that cause you to go over CPU allotment. What Happens in battle?  You are in your tank with X eHP remaining after AV attack and hop out taking you below your modified HP threshold... Any link modules that go on the suit shouldn't affect PG/CPU at all. As for rigs on the hull, that's an entirely different matter. So what negatives/positives/ effects should pilot modules have? Well I could see it as a means to push tanking style into a particular direction. So for example boosting natural shield recharge while decreasing booster amount (More passive for less active). There are also utility options, such as scanning, mCRU, ect. Overall I think it should be more positive than negative, but not necessarily a direct buff without some downside. We could also explore options where there is a smaller benefit without a downside, and then a larger benefit with a downside....Shield Rechargers vs Energizers is a prime example of this. 1. No negatives
 2. No negatives
 3. No negatives

 True but it's not quite a direct translation. For example, Armor Repairers on vehicles rep %eHP quite a bit faster than they do on dropsuits. No s*** they do. It's a vehicle vs. a dropsuit. Amarr sentinel has 1344 at the absolute max, while an armor tank has 4000 minimum. That's a Captain Obvious on an insane level. Additionally we already have a skill which increases armor repair rate, just like infantry. However you're proposing a secondary bonus on top of the existing skill bonus. Cal assault - faster reload time (albeit useless) (already a skill for reload). Gal assault - reduced dispersion (already a skill for that). Amarr assault - reduced heat buildup for scrambler/laser rifles (operation does that). All commando suits - 5% reload bonus per level, making all weapons reload extremely fast. Not necessarily disagreeing with the idea, but you also can't make a direct comparison to dropsuits either.Of course a direct comparison can't be made, it's dropsuits and vehicles. Of course they're different. What I'm saying is, if infantry has a bonus that's good for them, why can't vehicles have the same thing?

 Answer: not a single one. Dropsuits complement weapons or equipment. Why should a pilot suit have a negative impact on the hull?
 
 Again, not a single person would use those suits if there was a downside.

 Those very much so are a part of the Amarrian skill set. I see no reason a suit designed to support the pilots own operation capacity would not be able to improve these specific aspects.
 
 I suppose though there do need to be skills for the heat build up because ideally if Rattati accepts it the Amarr turrets should not be reliant on ammunition at all.

 Honestly I don't really think the Blaster even needs a heat mechanic but I guess people feel like its worth having....... certainly not the Railgun, and most certainly never artillery of missles.

 No downside. There's no downside with regular infantry suits, why should their be a downside with a pilot suit?  
 Plates: movement penalty
 Extends: recharge delay
 Energizers: max hp.
 
 Plus, it could make you think hard and well about What you fit.
 
 Or we'll just have damage control/modifiers stacked all over the place and it'll become bland :/
 
 Imagine... 5 complex shield damage control (only 2 damage types in the sense of vehicles so... Might as well keep it shield and armor) then a hardener on top of that? Shield recharge isn't breaking at all any time soon.
 
 Well... If you want to be as basic as infantry suits? Or wouldn't you rather become a fitting master that manages to make the superior all round vehicle by balancing the pros and cons?
 
 No need for HUGE penalties, but tiny ones...let us all Vote on it later

 So there's no point to use, Shield Energizers, Shield Extenders, or Armor Plates either? Because those are assets that have drawbacks.

 I know you struggle with basic math, but do you need me to explain how percentages work? It's ok to admit if you're uneducated, I'm here to help and I want you to learn these basic skills. Why do you find a need to provoke people on the forums?  
 Because he doesn't know what a percentage is, and has admitted in the past that he's bad with numbers?
 
 I mean honestly, if someone is going to have an educated discussion about balance, they need to have a few of the basics.

 As promised, pulled some data on rigs and modules from EVE that have upsides and downsides that could be converted over to Dust terms. Really only for inspiration, but enough to help think of some ideas. If you're not familiar with how capacitor works in EVE, probably the rough translation into Dust terms would be:
 
 Cap Capacity = Active Module Duration
 Cap Recharge = Active Module Cooldown
 
 This is a GROSSLY simplified translation, but Dust in general is grossly simplified compared to EVE anyways. Also note that there are a few other Rigs/modules out there that don't really translate into Dust terms for vehicles (lock times, ECM, ect.) so I didn't include them.
 
 Rigs
 Armor
 Increased Resistance - Decreased Max Velocity
 Increased Armor Repair - Increase PG Cost
 Increased Armor HP - Decreased Max Velocity
 
 Shield
 Increased resistance - Increased Signature
 Decreased Cap Use - Increased Signature
 Increased Shield HP - Increased Signature
 Increased Shield Regen - Increased Signature
 Increased Shield Booster - Increased Signature
 
 Astronautics
 Increased Max Velocity - Decreased Armor HP
 Increased Cargo capacity - Decreased Armor HP
 Decreased Afterburner Cap Cost - Decreased Armor HP
 Increased Afterburner Duration - Decreased Armor HP
 Increased Ship Agility - Decreased Armor HP
 Increased Velocity and Agility - Decreased Armor HP
 
 Engineering
 Increased Powergrid - No Downside
 Decreased Powergrid Use - No Downside
 Increase Cap Recharge Rate - No Downside
 Increased CPU - No Downside
 Decreased CPU Usage - No Downside
 Increased Capacitor - No Downside
 
 Turrets
 Decrease CPU Cost - Increased PG Cost
 Increased Falloff Range - Increased PG Cost
 Increased Fire Rate - Increased PG Cost
 Increased Damage - Increased PG Cost
 Decreased Cap Usage - Increased PG Cost
 Increased Optimal Range - Increase PG Cost
 Increased Tracking Speed - Increased PG Cost
 
 Missiles
 Increased Fire Rate - Increased CPU Cost
 Increased Velocity - Increased CPU Cost
 Increased Flight Time - Increase CPU Cost
 Increased Damage - Increased CPU Cost
 Decreased Explosion Radius (This is actually a good thing in EVE ^_^) - Increased CPU cost
 
 
 
 Modules
 Increase Cap Recharge Rate - Increased Cap Capacity
 Increased Cap Recharge Rate- Increased Shield Boosting
 Increased Armor HP - Decreased Agility and Speed
 Increased Cargo capacity - Decreased Speed
 Increased Agility - Decreased Armor HP
 Increased Speed - Decreased Cargo Capacity
 Increased Shield Recharge - Decreased Shield HP
 Increased Shield HP - Increased Signature

 Nothing big! Like maybe a complex damage control will be 7 to 10% reduction to damage received (slot based) at the cost of EHP or maneuverability etc. Damage (nothing over 5%, can only fit one), turret rotation, round velocity, torque, etc, regulators, etc. modifiers on a pilot suit only.
 
 Fit suits accordingly annnd boom boom diverse vehicles
 No downside. There's no downside with regular infantry suits, why should their be a downside with a pilot suit?  Plates: movement penalty Extends: recharge delay  Energizers: max hp.  Plus, it could make you think hard and well about What you fit.  Or we'll just have damage control/modifiers stacked all over the place and it'll become bland :/ Imagine... 5 complex shield damage control (only 2 damage types in the sense of vehicles so... Might as well keep it shield and armor) then a hardener on top of that? Shield recharge isn't breaking at all any time soon.  Well... If you want to be as basic as infantry suits? Or wouldn't you rather become a fitting master that manages to make the superior all round vehicle by balancing the pros and cons? No need for HUGE penalties, but tiny ones...let us all Vote on it later. Idea: pilot suit; 10% reduction to vehicle link module fitting per level. Then racial bonuses get looked at later. Bonuses
 
 Those are modules added.

 I know you struggle with basic math, but do you need me to explain how percentages work? It's ok to admit if you're uneducated, I'm here to help and I want you to learn these basic skills. So do you mean to tell me that an Amarr has a different max armor value, and an armor tank has a different max armor value as well? I use both. I see the numbers all the time, I know what I'm talking about. That has nothing to do with math.
 
 If you're going to try to troll me in that way, go away. You have terrible ideas and need to stop spreading them like AIDS.

 Oh dear, ok, here's a math lesson.
 
 Take the HAV's armor, divide it by the HP/s of a Complex Heavy Armor Repairer. That gives you the time required to full repair all of its armor.
 
 Now take say an Amarr or Gallente's Armor HP, divide it by the HP/s of a Complex Armor Repairer. That gives you the time required to fully repair all of its armor.
 
 Now you have both units in Seconds until full repair, which is comparable between the two because its a single, like unit. In this case "Seconds until full repair"
 
 
 Lets do an example:
 
 Tank A has 4000 Armor, and repairs at 100 HP per second.
 Dropsuit B has 1000 Armor and repairs at 25HP per second.
 
 This is where you pop is and say "DURRRRR THE TANK GETS ITS HP BACK FASTER BECAUSE 100 IS GREATER THAN 25!"
 
 But then you take 4000 HP and divide by 100 to get 40 seconds.
 
 Then you take 1000 HP and divide by 25 to get 40 seconds.
 
 So in this example, they both regenerate the same percentage of their total HP per second. And that's how ratios work. Any questions? Like I get that you're a very angry individual, but I think you're missing some key concepts here and I'd really like you to understand, because I think we might actually see more eye to eye.
