DUST Search - does anyone use basic suits?

perhaps some suit bonus between those of their specialist versions e.g. basic medium gets 2% per level bonus from assault and 2% from logi (as opposed to the 5% bonuses the specialists get).

so at max level a Min basic would get 10% cpu/pg equip, 10% rep tool range from logi. 10%clip size and 10% light wep/grenade fitting from assault.

I dont think this would result in it becoming FOTM but something better than what it is.

Heavy suits could get 1%dmg bonus for racial weapons and 1% resists to splash/opposite faction racials
IE Min heavy proto gets 5% dmg bonus with projectiles, 5% splash resist and 5% laser/scrambler resist.

Light basics I dont know, they are pretty much completely pointless from what I can see and as there is still no pilot suit they would still be in limbo.

I'd bring in pilot suits as being necessary to operate DS or HAV. Sidearm only (like IRL). Suit level required to be equal to vehicle level.

Basic light could then have capability to operate DS/HAV 1 tier less than their level (IE proto suit, advanced vehicle etc.) and lower suit bonuses from scout.

LAV still operable by anyone, as IRL we can all drive a car, but not many can drive a tank/helicopter.

Links and scans to set up my squad/ team in the early stages. Depending on how it progresses I may even run the entire match with it. AKA - StarVenger- Horizons' Edge

You need like 392k SP to get into 'Specialized' suits. When the cap was 190,400, that simply was not going to happen for a while. There are better things to get; non-militia modules/weapon for example. Now the cap is 750k. In one week, you can safely get to Basic suits and still have some left over for non-militia modules. The time gap between Start suits into Assault suit is pretty small at this point. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

Shoot, bring in backup, rez said backup when they die. Pro cal med has a pretty freaking slick skin on it as do a few other basic pro frames. Except cal H.... Adv and pro still look like marshmellowman or Michelin man... Oooogly Gêå You want a toe? I can get you a toe dude. Gêå Joined - 06-28-12 ~Deal with it~

I think it is currently slower, but has the same health. I think scouts should have 1 equipment again and the basics 2. *Scouts United* Gk.0s & Quafes all day.

So nerf scouts more for a basic suit that gets no bonuses and will continue to be disused? Former CEO of the Land of the BIind. Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.

Its just a energizer/rechargers high slot with milita sheild extender bpos for almost 700 sheilds that regen fairly fast. The complex regulator was the most expensive item. Milita assault rifle bpo. Milita scrambler pistol bpo. I used that suit for sustained firefights and to teach myself to not waste ammo and to be more effective with what I have and when to relaod or not. Ha!You can't kill me! I'm already dead!
