Pros. Everyone has the same level gear, cons. There's no reason to get better equipment (it just sounds like tiercide would eliminate SP)

I'm very skeptical about all of this. Frankly about the idea that mermory will be 'saved.' Maybe the PS3 hard drive?



To get this straight to reduce the number of suits from 180 ( only total 96 but BPO vairants) to 20 (bullshit?) CCP needs to :

- Introduce 36 std, adv, proto Basic suit Power cores. 60 std adv proto role based power cores. The lowest count possible is this leaves us with 12 basic (light medium heavy x 4 races) dropsuit frames and 20 ( scout, logi, assaul, commando, setinel x 4 races)

So now the game will have 96 power cores and + 32 dropsuit frame rather than 96 dropsuits.

- If every variant raise the number from 96 to 180 as claimed by Aero, then you have to delete every single variant and turn it into a BPC skin and a BPC power core, one for each variant.

- The game has to load more slots every match: 2 more for every scout, commando, heavy; 4 for every assault, 6 more slots for every logi. These take up more game memory.

So the whole Dust will run better and smoother and free up assest, by adding more settings and combination than before , yeah right. I don't beleive it. Like previous ideas, stopping you from acessing chat in game, delete all your old mail, has made zero impact on game speed.


What it does do however is turn every suit into an APEX. This makes people happy. I'm not even against it. But the whole reaction is a bit, overblown IMO.

Pokey:

That's the idea I am already proposing. I don't see what changed.

Also, as has been stated the attributes are less costly than the object. (Aka the suit)
