Reflex sight.( Or damage or rof if that's easier)

To be honest the only ones that aren't really up to par, imo, are shield regulators (because reactive plates are more functional) and code breakers; code breakers being the case because it's just far more functional to use a Minmatar Scout than to try and force another suit to use something it's not good at. That and it's effectively useless for a large portion of game modes.

The armor plates are used mostly because - brace yourself - it's part of armor tanking. Which is pretty critical for armor tanking suits. It's easy to call 'diversity' when there's only three different things to put in the high slots (precision enhancers, shield modules, and damage amps) but to say that there's an imbalance because half of the races in this game use armor as their primary defense? Please.

This isn't saying that shield tanking isn't subpar - it could probably use a buff - but saying it's because armor is OP is a stretch.

Back to ARs now.

a gallente weapon should always perform best on a gallente suit.

if range is a problem then gallente need a way to get into range better.

my suggestion isnt to do anything to the AR but to look at the gallente suits in general and how they fail at providing a viable platform for their own weapons.

adjust gallente mobility:

increase sprint speed and decrease stamina regen.

end result: gallente end up able to close distance rapidly, but cannot sprint frquently. this means they can get into or out of a fight quickly, but they cant run around the map forever like minmatar can, nor run as long as amarr can without stopping for stamina regen.


why do this? it actually is a racial characteristic of gallente in eve that they balance both speed and armor. we've covered this in the past when we tried getting kincats moved to high slots. this would be an alternative

You have to rewind to the days where we had a range adjusting skill and how bad that skewed players over.
