DUST Search - Sticky:[Data Insights] Dropsuits and Weapons in Planetary Conquest

I suppose an important question to ask toward CCP Rattati is if these numbers are 1) What you expect to see given current meta / balance, and 2) What you want to see with regards to end goals of balance vs current 'flavor'

A few observations on my part:

I'm quite happy to see racial rifles being so popular on each racial suit being the most prevalent fittings. (Am with Scr, Ga with AR, etc) The only notable deviation from this is Minmatar Assaults using plenty of Shotguns, which fits with the notion of Minmatar suits behaving similar to one weight class lower.
Comparatively the Amarr line which tends to weigh in about one suit class higher has a very popular Heavy frame as it can end up with more Armor hp than other heavy variants.

I think that the fact that certain dropsuit classes are missing is a bit of a cause for concern although it makes more sense in a pure kill data dump for logistics to not show up, but for suits like the Amarr Commando and the Gallente Commando to not show up even near the bottom is somewhat worrisome.

CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 27	Posted - 2015.10.12 09:34:00 - [1] - Quote Dear data enthusiasts, here is a document you can play around with. It contains the kills per weapon, dropsuit and combination, and reverse combination for you to study and dig around in. Have fun with it. I am sharing this now, so we have a baseline to compare Foxfour numbers to later. http://cdn1.eveonline.com/community/DUST/Hotfix/PCstats.xlsx "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

I used Amarr Logistics religiously not more than a month ago in multiple PCs... Wonder why there isn't a single reference to them? Similar report in the Barbershop from Duncan Idaho: Amarr Logi shotgun kill Looks like he was killed by a Officer Commando (ak.0). Zero Stormraider or Commando ak.0 kills in the data. This isn't all kills, the cut off point is obviously in the hundreds "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

Not everything will be viable in PC. Pubs have incredible variety, in fact so much that it's hard to distill any robust conclusions from it. Thing about PC, is that a tiny stat difference can eliminate a whole class/role, purely on the stats, not on how it plays, looks or feels. We will try, but PC is pretty black and white, it has very little patience for sub-optimal fits. To be at this relative mix is pretty fantastic, compared to where we were months or years ago.
