If utility and brick modules were balanced, what are odds that the 9 of the Top 10 lows would be brick-related?
If brick modules were inferior to utility, what are the odds that the 9 of the Top 10 lows would be brick-related?
If brick tankers were at any disadvantage, what are the odds that the 9 of the Top 10 lows would be brick-related?

Lol. Like that thing is a good basis for an argument.
It doesn't even make a good fit...

Also, yeah, HP modules are the most common because everyone can make use of them fairly equally. Not everyone can make use of utility modules equally, and they never will.

Its the difference of nonspecialization and specialization.
Specialized items will always be less common than generalist ones. That's working as intended.

Do you also expect for there to be as many Plasma Cannons as Assault Rifles used?
Flawed argument is flawed.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that your logic is right. Let's assume that brick is supposed to be the better, brighter and more used. What do you think would be a reasonable usage gap between brick and the next best thing?

shaman oga Dead Man's Game 4065	Posted - 2015.02.26 14:55:00 - [1] - Quote Or to buff all utility modules? It's quite annoying see how the modules which are not made to increase your HP pool are quite useless when you are in a firefight, but the game is a FPS, it's almost entirely about firefights, this lead to the conclusion that the game it's also about HP. Basic HP fittings should be much more viable than they are, of course HP should give an advantage in combat, but not as much as they give now. MitraglieTTOH

Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 7370	Posted - 2015.02.26 15:23:00 - [4] - Quote It's about time the utility mods got some love. Honestly the only TTK issues I am finding is the wide raft of difference between getting shot by an assault rifle and an HMG. The only time rifles kill too fast is when you have 2-4 of them shooting you all at once. Shotguns I don't care about. Most scout players are idiots who were entirely too dependent on the cloak to avoid having to be smart on apapproach. The maligned minnatar shotty assault is hilarious because they're easily gutted with a minimal nod to EWAR skills. I've been having more fun running assault suits over the last couple weeks (max cores, weapons minimum 3 proficiency) with the actual assault suits themselves at 1. But as far as the utility mods? There's not one that gives enough benefit to give up a regulator, rep, ferro or reactive. Range extenders are hilariously bad otherwise I'd be running a sensor assault for shooting people in the back. AV

EWAR Damps - Reduce active scan duration. Range Extenders - In bad shape, but can't buff 'em without nerfing Falloff inner ring. Precision Enhancers - These are probably OK. Biotics MyoFibs - Add jumps! CardRegs - Maybe faster stamina regen. KinCats - These are probably OK. Other Code Breakers - Move to High Slot. PG Extenders - Remove CPU req't and/or move to Highs. CPU Extenders - These are probably OK. Shoot scout with yes. - Ripley Riley

John ShepardIII Capital Acquisitions LLC Bad Intention 1328	Posted - 2015.02.26 18:00:00 - [15] - Quote HP mods don't help a lot because TTK is still low. What I think we should do is nerf all weapons by 10% and nerf feroscale plates by 10-15 less HP per plate. By doing this it will make speed tankers which is 90% of everyone have a lot less HP. The people who don't speed tank will be really slow and easy to kill still. By making the fero plates crappier more people will use dampners, kinkats, or regs. So TTK will go up due to weapon nerf, but it won't be to bad because the fero plate nerf will cause assaults not being able to have 1000 hp using all fero plates. So people will use other mods too because stacking all fero plates wouldn't be a good idea anymore. Btw I love fero plates I just think nerfing them will make people use other mods too.

What do you think would be a reasonable usage gap between brick and the next best thing? I never said better. And I never said brick tanking. It seems like you are drawing too large of a correlation between the use of any HP modules and brick tanking. I said that HP mods are supposed to be the most generalist and versatile mods, therefore they will be the most common, and that a system where some mods are quite a bit more common than others isn't necessarily imbalanced. Just like weapons, suits, or even classes, usage rates amongst modules should not be evenly distributed. As for an ideal ratio... Well that largely depends on what the ideal ratio of the different classes should be. Even the ideal ratio of weapons would affect this. Just because utility mods are not as common as HP mods, does not mean they are worse. Just specialized. Aside form a few mods, most are well balanced with each other as is, IMO. Myofibrils and PG/CPU mods are the only ones that really call for any buffs, if you ask me. Home at Last <3
Varoth Drac State of Purgatory General Tso's Alliance 597	Posted - 2015.02.26 19:00:00 - [17] - Quote I never understood why medium frames didn't get their hp buffed when assaults did, as previously they had the same hp. I never raised it before the change was implemented as I (foolishly) assumed it would happen. Raising base hp helps reduce the over reliance on hp mods. I think at this stage nerfing hp mods would be opening a can of worms to do with armour / shield balance, ttk, regen etc. Probably not a good idea to mess with this other than the odd tweak here and there. Much better to buff certain under performing utility mods. Range extenders definitely need a buff. Put them back to +45%, but have them affect only the outer (and middle?) scan rings. Increasing the high precision central ring's range is a definite no as it would prevent anyone from dampening below scans. Others have suggested this before (Ares 514 recently). Kincats could have their fitting requirement reduced. In my eyes hp mods should always cost the most resources. Also see Vesta Opalus's FaID thread about progression. I know people are currently getting annoyed about speed tanking, but Kincats don't affect strafing so don't improve people's bullet dodging, which is really what people get annoyed about. Actually, on the subject of speed tanking, it's a good thing that speed tanking is viable, as there have been times in the past where maxing out armour was the only way to go. As long as you can't get too good a combination of hp and strafe speed it's not a problem. Much like passive scans, precision and range are fine as long as you can't have too much of both at the same time.
