I vote against this idea. Nanohives are a support tool and should mainly be used by logistics players. Reducing fitting requirements is working against this. A less effective hive just means you have to wait a little longer until you're fully healed up and restocked after a fire fight, which is a very small price to pay, too small imo. Nano hives, especially the armor repping ones, should either be used by logi players, or force an assault/scout player to sacrifice a significant part of his offensive abilities.

I play logistics in a type 2 scout suit, and there are times when this would be useful. Not all logistics players need the heavy logistics suit with a beer dispenser and microwave. ;) If it's not balanced, then I'm up for making it balanced as far as stats, but if I want to train up for a prototype nanohive, and use it on a type 2 scout suit, lower fitting requirements at a lower effect, and higher isk price should be an option. Otherwise, I'll stay with my basic nanohive that doesn't require more training, is cheap, and doesn't eat up my cpu/power.

So between the two of you, I take it we're suggesting the same thing they do in EVE.

Make Nanohives cheaper on PG/CPU requirements FOR LOGI SUITS ONLY.

And when they introduce cloaking and other stealth modules, gives Scouts a bonus towards those modules. Armour mods should have lower fitting requirements on Heavy suits (or give a reduced movement penalty).

Every suit should have a bonus to equipping certain gear.

I would like to see an Advanced and Prototype version that does basic level performance, but at a lower fitting cost. I don't want a super bubble, I'd just like a basic one that's more expensive, but cheaper fitting cost, as another type to choose from. A little armor repair would be nice too, but the sort a scout would carry, not a fat man. Thanks. The Centrifuge model is the right idea, just not quite streamlined enough. An idea of a "easy fit" Prototype Nanohive could be something like this: Max Active 2 Max Carried 3 Effective Range 4m Ammo Resupply rate 8% Armor repair rate 2% Health 300hp CPU: 28 Power: 6 This would basically be the "barely a Nano" model for logistics and people looking to fit a lot of functionality at a less potent level.

It's pretty evident I'm requesting something different than this :) Get your own thread.

Gotcha. I don't see the need to restrict equipment more than the slots already, and it's not the same feel of what my OP/thread was about, but glad to provide the opportunity for alternate ideas.
