DUST Search - Assault Speed fits Min OP?

I put together speed tanked fits, ADV Assaults, with enh kincats. The goal was to compare the fits of the same tier and see what i could get out of them. They are fit for max speed, if fitting does not allow for kin cat then a cardiac reg, if not that then a Pg module to make up the missing slot.

All fits have enhanced shields in the highs. All suits have a basic racial side arm, basic grenade, but only one could fit a proto rifle to it.The rest only had fitting space for a BK.42 Adv combat rifle

Min Assault :3/3 slot count, 3 enh shields, 2 kin cats, 1 cardiac regulator

427 shields
237 Armor

9.04 sprint

total ehp: 664

Gal Assault: 2/4 layout 2 enh sheilds 3 kin cats, 1 PG upgrade (there was only room for a Pg upgrade after 3 kincats)

304 shields
344 armor

8.93 sprint

total ehp: 648

Duvolle assault rifle (or proto weapon of choice)

Caldari Assault : 4/2 layout, 3 enh shields, 1 basic energizer, 2 kincats

502 shields
194 armor

8.53 sprint

total ehp: 696

Amarr Assault: 2/4 layout 2 shields, 3 kin cats, 1 cardiac regulator

291 shields
394 Armor

8.57 sprint

total ehp: 685

Findings:

The minmatar and the gallente are the fastest by a good margin.

Caldari and the Amarr have the most eHP speed tanked, are still very slow in a foot race, but have enough eHP to be viable vs non speed tanked suits.

The gallente has the lowest eHP can carry the most powerful weapons. The only suit that can use proto weapons fully speed tanked.

The minmatar only loses half of its eHP tanking style when fit for speed. Even so the gallente can nearly keep up with it in terms of pace, and far surpass the minmatar in terms of firepower, even after using none of its low slots for armor or repairs.

Verdict: Minmatar has some advantage, it is the speedy assault, and at first glance seems powerful. Yet the gallente can do it nearly as well and carry alot more firepower, and has higher regen.

My own pro minmatar bias aside, i do not think the numbers show that the suit is OP. What they do show is that if you want a fast suit, the minmatar is the fastest by a small margin, and is more practical than running a proto rifle ona low ehp Gallente. Nonetheless an ammar with ZERO armor moduls still has more HP. A caldari suit loses almost none of its play style and still keeps a good bit of speed, and healthy enough dose of shields.

Next up will be pure eHP stacking.

Next up will be pure eHP stacking. You're leaving out stamina. Sure it looks relatively the same speed until you add its crazy high stamina and stamina regen. It can run for miles faster and can do so more often. Combined with high eHP it basically becomes a heavier tanked scout. And assault lights got nerfed for the same reasons MinAss is being looked at right now. Official Blueberry of the Forums. Title given by my #1 fan Sgt Kirk.
