They seriously need to be buffed. They are the redheaded step child of New Eden.
I'm a proud Gallente. But, I have to respect the aesthetics of the Caldari Frames. I love the hard steel look, and the blueness. I myself would never be caught dead wearing a Caldari Suit, because I am a Gallente, but my alt is Caldari (I have an alt for each race tbh) And it is hard at times to get it going on it. (My Matari and Amarr alt go beast mode though, VAHZZ sucks, hush up bitches)
Now, we need to get the Caldari Suits buffed, NO NEED TO BE OP LIKE WHAT HAPPENS TO EVERY BUFF. They need an increase of bonus and a better bonus and a little more base armor. Because the Caldari survive the least. They drop like paper flies.
In JARREL THOMAS' thread, he made a pretty compelling bonus:
Quote:
After hearing all of your responses, even Cat Mercs lol, I believe the extender should remain, but Caldari suits, mostly CalAsses, CalMandos, and CalSents, should get a bonus of -20% to -25% to shield recharge delay and depleted recharge relay.
Now again, I don't want the Caldari OP, they just need to be buffed. CCP, you are suppose to love them, they are your poster child, all your avatars are them. I know most of you don't use Caldari suits, my boy Rat Man is smart  putting work in that Gallente suit. Popping all kinds of ****. But come on, don't punish your redheaded step childs for being no Gallente.

I am for a buff to the Caldari dropsuits; however, Rattati has comfirmed a nerf to the ScR is incoming. That thing #REKTS the Caldari dropsuits. Let the ScR take it to the chin, allow some data to flow for a while, then we can revisit the idea of buffing the Caldari dropsuits' base stats.

To be honest, the Scrambler isn't the only thing that rekts the CalSuits. The AR, HMG, Ion, CR all do aswell. But it is nice to hear the Scrambler will be nerfed, it didn't need a buffed to begin with, just needed to get a bonus from Amarr Suits.

Seems like a awful idea.
The only time I think the Caldari suits can be looked at is when they get them to stop running plates in the lows. Pure shield tanking is in a bad state, but dual tanking is the current meta and shield based suit seem to have a slight edge when they do it.

Dual tanking has been and always will be the current meta until running shields extenders on armor suits and armor plates on shield suits is nerfed directly, such as changing the pg/cpu costs.

Who the hell said anything about pure shield tanking?

Useage does not indicate balance  you know that, Arkena. We would need to know things like Kills per Death and WPs per Death in Caldari dropsuits to have an accurate picture of their effectiveness.
Actually Kills per SPAWN is a much better gauge in their effectiveness

There's not a huge amount of problems with the caldari suits. Flux grenades are a real pain, but meh.
Scout: Less good than it was before, but still carries the extreme advantage of being nearly unseeable
Logi: Has problems with cpu/pg & slot count, but the nanohive carry amount increase is quite nice.
Commando: Utterly screwed in terms of its recharge values and delays, but otherwise an incredibly high damage dealing suit.
Sentinel: Pretty damn good TBH.
Assault: Main problem is with exponential rail kick compared to all other rifles having linear kick.
Magsec is pretty decent with a few issues but is otherwise okay. Forges could maybe use their splash back but w/e. Bolt pistols are pretty good. Snipers are and probably always will be ass aside from a few specific situations.

Decreasing recharge delay and buffing their armor a bit would do wonders on these suits. A nerf to the ScR might be interesting, it could either give me a new found challenge or become completely useless where even I would stop using it (I sure hope not)

I agree with cody about the dual tanking. I'd love to kill Dual tanking
I always hated that the Caldari and Gallente suits originally created to "mirror each other" that attitude is gone now but there are still vestigial traits of that thinking.
Just as I'd love to have a normalization of rifles in the same variant from shorter range- higher DPS to longer range shorter DPS id like to have something similar, within reason and lore of course to suits.
Amarr have the most HP in armor, Caldari have the best HP as shields, Gallente going the route of regenerating armor and speed
Then the fast Minmatar can go either way depending on suit purpose and slot layout.
So pretty much its just an HP to Speed flow.
The more HP you have the slower, the less HP you have, the faster you are.
In EVE, and god forbid i bring up EVE, the Caldari have considerably more initial HP compared to the other racial ships than their Dropsuit counterparts in DUST.

How are you going to lower the recharge on a CalSent? The problem seems to be damage profiles to me with too many things too efficient against shields, then flux grenades.
Because, that's why.

I'm beginning to think that Shield Tanking and the Caldari are being under-utilized due to the power gap left from the realization that Scrambler Rifles are viable (as they've always been, just no-one noticed until recently) and the recent super-buff to the ASCR.
ASCR got a damage buff to help out with DPS application and it's heat-build mechanics but while that balanced it out a bit more with everything else it made it -insanely- powerful against shield tankers.

I large problem with cal is that they have balanced shield based weapons on their effectiveness against armor which causes them to completely reck sheild suits.
If a ScR eats armor like its nothing with a -20% profile, what's going to happen to shields?
I really liked the rebalance of sheild extender amounts making it worth it to run advanced, but I think regulators need some love to help make shields more viable. If that was accompanied by a ScR nerf I think shields would be in a pretty good place.

You hit the nail on the head with that one.
They made Scrambler Rifles competitive against armor, huge mistake, greatest mistake, a mistake of the UPMOST CALIBER!

Not that much, but the Caldari does need more base armor. It's pathetic, i know it's a shield based race but seriously, that armor is pathetic.

I'm all for buffing the Caldari suits but you are wrong. There are 3 anti-armor damage profiles and only 2 anti-shield damage profiles. And there are more anti-armor weapons than anti-shield. If anything, there are way too many weapons that affect armor more than shields.
Tho I am with you on the flux. But the flux is supposed to behave like that.

What I had in mind was to give the Caldari Assault suits a better scan range and scan precision while giving the Gallente better profile dampening. Considerable Caldari's precisiom and Gallente's Profile coule mirror each other (lets say 35 dB as an example) this would help both suits considerably in their play field.

Every other rifle is competitive against both tank types. Why not pulse lasers too?
Inverse Projectile Profile only really serves as a buff to the ScR though.......
