Ever since the armor rep buff, I have barely touched shields.
ScR and AR make it unbearable.

Shields were fine before the buff. They need a slight regen buff, like I said above.

And armor needs the strafe penalty reeuced slightly, I don't use regular armor plates on my AM assault.

Deployables
Simple, we have increased the carried amount of all deployable equipment by 3, since bandwidth has reduced individual spam of equipment, allowing simpler redistribution, sort of a chain of uplinks or hives from the start of the battle. We have, however, also a need to reduce the efficiency of drop uplinks, and are reducing the spawns per uplink by 50%. We have also reduced bandwidth of Proximity Explosives from 2 to 1.

Or just fix the actual shield problem instead of relying on teamates to fix it.

@rat , im still awaiting reasoning or explaination on the missiles changes.

Incorrect. Because area denial roles require mobility. Heavies don't have that. The idea of a heavy being outside but being dangerous at range doesn't work because the heavy can't move around the battle field and change their area of denial. All they do is become open area campers and can't really commit to the battle very often as, when said battle moves or changes, that heavy won't catch up to the next fight till it is already over. Heavies will earn virtually no WP. Basically, they will be the closer range, slower moving version of a redline sniper.

That's the reason why people who play a lot of Sent don't want to do this. Mobility is the single most important factor in long range battles -- and since Sents don't have it they won't be able to do it.

Heavies out of CQC is a ludicrous idea. Change map design so that more points are open with no cover. That would right there solve your problem with no changes needed.

Breakin is right about one thing though -- this won't kick heavies out of CQC at all. It might reduce the number of them though.

Missiles were the reason madrugars are the rarest thing on the field. So their DPS was cut in half. Missiles can do 3700 DPS easily.

That's not balanced against anything.

This is a welcome change. Unfortunately, I haven't been active lately, nor have I had the chance to play. Since "Myofibril Stimulants simply increase strength", could we also have grenade throw speed/distance looked at? If the modules also increased the speed/distance which grenades are thrown, that might help clearing off rooftops/high areas (I always used to seem just off from landing my flux's). I brought this up before, although not given much (if any) attention.

Another thing I noticed.

Assault hmg does full damage to vehicles instead of 75%, very good.

The ammo nerf is...a bit much...ah well.

Ammo nerfs are not necessarily a bad thing depending on how and why. My autocan idea has 65 rounds.

I will take a poke and see if I can figure out the logic.

Yes, the DPS was excessive, and I agree with that nerf.

I don't agree with ANY of the other ones though. Reload speed should have actually had a buff to compensate for rails getting a larger magazine, total ammo increased instead of decreased.... I listed all of my reasons earlier. Missiles will be completely irrelevant to the rail after Echo.
