Just my perspective as a guy who feels 30k suits are far too expensive:
Some of the militia items are bad compared to their basic equivalents, while others really are not.
Some examples :
- Militia Nanohives: one grenade, ever. Compare to a regular Nanohive which returns at least a few, and you get a stack of 6 of them.
Suggestion: increase number carried to 2 or 3, or increase nanites
- Militia Locus Grenades: you only get one. Compare to Militia Flux Grenades, which you get two of.
Suggestion: increase number carried to 2, nerf the damage if you have to.
- Militia Armor Plates/Shield Extenders/Armor Repairer: There are so good (at my current scrub tier) I paid real money for BPOs, just to avoid having to restock them every day
Suggestion: let me buy these things in stacks of 1000
To be clear: I'm not saying that militia items should be as good as basic ones. All the weapons have a reduced clip size, everything has increased PG consumption, that's all fine. They're useful because of the cost and because you don't need skills, not much else.
I'm just noting that the difference in usefulness is out of whack. |

the mlt ARR is far better in my opinion then its counterpart as you can fire without delay even if it does have less overall damage it's better at range since you can line up shots, doesn't have a charge up so you can control the kick because you don't have to hold the trigger |

Yeah, MLT ARR is flat out better than it's BSC counterpart. Surely this can't be intentional.
Also, I don't think MLT weapon should have smaller clip sizes. CPU/PG should be their only drawback from BSC.

I don't necessarily agree. The principle appears to be that MLT should be on-par enough with BSC to get a feel for it, but have some obvious drawbacks to compensate for their price. If anything I'd like to see slightly ADV level drawbacks, e.g. 1% more speed reduction on plates.
But there's a fine line to be tread here regarding dev time, player familiarity, and NPE, which is why I only suggested some modest numerical tweaks |

If you could spam grenades along with nano's in militia form... Lets just stick with what we got. |

Agreed with this. MLT was better when it was exactly the same as basic, with more fitting requirement. New players trying to get a taste of what a weapon might be like are often tricked into thinking things are worse than they really are.

I can certainly confirm that with things like the swarm launcher, which seems to be a very all-or-nothing weapon.
All I want is for MLT to be moderately useful compared to BSC. I paid money for 3 BPOs because, with all my fitting skills so high, there's no appreciable difference with BSC modules, yet things like nanohives are useless and not worth buying |
