Another idea ... I'm sure something like it has already been suggested:

Basic Med Frame
* -1 to 2 Slot
* +1 EQ
* 50% Isk Discount

Basic Heavy Frame
* -1 Slot
* +1 EQ
* 50% Isk Discount

Basic Light Frame
* +1 to 2 Slot
* -1 EQ
* 50% Isk Discount

+1 EQ for Assault might appeal to Assault users who don't like their current racial bonuses. EQ on a Heavy could certainly come in handy. Scouts were assigned a 2nd EQ slot to fit cloak, but they can't fit cloak until they specialize; so why not drop the specialization slot, and add a utility slot or two?

Basic heavies could be much faster breaching the gap between assault and heavy(adjust hp and slots accordingly)

Basic med could get plus one equipment and a solid portion of CPU/PG for said equiptment breaching the gap between logi and assault (now you have your slayer logi)

Basic light could lose 1 equiptment to gain a slot or two to breach he gap between scout and assault.

I use my minmatar heavy frame quite often since it's faster than the minmatar sentinel (well with less armor in return). Sadly even though it's an adv suit I can't fit mutch on it since the damn dual kincats are taking away a lot of pg :/

Are there any plans to change the light/medium/heavy frames in the future?

They are increasing the pg and cpu

But the rat man seems interested in making them more then that. Echo will see their CPU/PG increased and was hoping to see this as the start of something great for the basic frames Dust 514, the BEST WORST game you can't stop playing.

I use the same Frame for forging. Basic moved faster,,,plus it was cheaper and still got the same job done.
Capt Jack 5parr0w DUST University Ivy League 18	Posted - 2015.03.08 00:45:00 - [7] - Quote I'd be cool with something like this. I've only seriously specced into Gal Assault, but I do run a basic light frame for uplinks, and planned to leave the skill at 1 for, well, as long as it takes me to fully skill into the assault role. As it stands now, I've no need for the extra EQ slot since I can't fit a cloak on the suit anyway. I'm barely getting by on CPU/PG as it is. The second EQ slot is a wasted slot for the purpose I use the suit for, and I wouldn't mind an extra high or low to add some tank or more speed or whatever. As for the other suits, I'd love to have a streamlined path towards their respective roles. I'm simply not going to bother with heavy suits for quite some time, because the SP required to specialize is precious SP that I could devote toward my current role. Need a spot logi for some quick reps on the fly? Reds are pushing A hard and we could use a fatty on the letter for extra point defense? I'd much rather dust off a basic frame to fit X situation than simply shrug my shoulders and ignore it, simply because I haven't accumulated huge amounts of SP. And since I'm envisioning this adjustment as giving basic frames "on the fly" capabilities, the drawback seems fair: no bonuses. Sure, I can jump in with a basic frame and dish out some reps, but that'll hardly pass as a viable replacement for a dedicated logi with better equipment and suit/racial bonuses. And who knows? Maybe I'm having a blast in a basic heavy frame, and now I have an incentive to grind hard towards that sentinel role that, right now, seems so out of reach. Granted, this all comes from a guy who just hit the 10 million SP mark, all of it almost entirely dedicated to the assault role, with little experience elsewhere. Also from a guy who mostly plays with UNI bros in squads that could use a bit of diversity on the battlefield.

DRT 99 Commando Perkone Caldari State 206	Posted - 2015.03.08 10:28:00 - [10] - Quote yes there are (pretty precise) numbers in the hotfix echo narrative thread - check the spreadsheet ratatti posted. ONLY basic medium frames are up right now, no idea if others will be later, but notable changesso far include increased PG / CPU and 2 equipment across the board. also for those that use starter fits, those are being made borderline useful. Medic now has repper and injector Anti Armor has 2 variants - swarm launcher and plasma cannon, each variant gets a nanohive assaults get uplinks (I LOVE THIS!) Sniper is removed and replaced with a 'recon' fit. I think i saw some shotguns and nova knives in the fits so maybe scout suits? i know they are mostly fit with biotics though.
