I was kinda harping on this awhile back. I want either an equipment slot, or a third low slot

Im guessing its by design so that there are utility holes on dropsuits that have to be filled by team-mates. Its all about the teamwork buddy .

What you should be suggesting is that swarm launcher are reclassified as a "heavy" weapon perhaps.

A L arm slot would be interesting but I don't know how feasible it would be with the CPU/PG of the proto suits... I would love equipment to carry a nanohive around, but then you wouldn't need logistics, but I feel an extra low slot could add a few advantages... like running 3 complex dmg mods, a complex rapper and maybe even complex plates

Edit: along with a CPU module of course

right now we are the only class that actually needs logistics and personally i find it to be unfair

It is the way it is for the sake of balance. i'm sure heavies would love an equipment slot with an infinite armour rep, but the rest of us don't really want that. ccp has balanced the suits, vehicles, weapons and mods to try and keep the game fun for all. i'm sure they'll continue to balance based on feedback, but 'mega kill everything heavies' ain't happening.

that would be a little OP imo.

imagine a proto heavy with the repair nano hives, he could kite you like a scout if he does it right.

i do think heavies should have a 3rd low slot than the 3rd high slot (low=armor high=shields/weps)

maybe if they had a module to add an equipment slot that could be good.

If the other suits (not including logi) couldn't carry equipment as well i wouldn't have this problem but since it doesn't work like that I do

we have 1000 more HP than any other class..

yes were a little slower but there needs to me more of a trade off, which comes in as no equip slot/less mods

meh idk, you can just turn your sensitivity up.

im gonna assume that they will have different types of heavy suits, maybe a tactical one with less HP and an equip slot?

im sure theyll do something like that

Hopefully grouping will ease this a bit, just have to find a few friends who want to mix up some logi with their AR so you can have one on the team with you.
I did run the heavy for a short while after I got bored with tanks, but decided to go assault swarm after I realised it had the benefit of the nanohive.
I like the idea of putting an option on the proto level suit, so you could have a nano or an extra low, just for a build of testing to see how it affects things, but the only problem being so much other new stuff is launched each new build that changes balance already for 1 it could be hard to work out how much difference it's made overall and second there's a lot more alternative modules, weapons, equipment still to come that they may have already balance the heavy fittings against, but we just haven't seen them yet.

Here's an alternative idea ... you could be given a 'heavy equipment' slot ! This could open up a whole new set of options, perhaps a mobile gun replacement or mortar or a single personal supply depot, which you might only have one of, but it could be more substantial withstanding several splash blasts from tanks where the nano doesn't stand up to much, and you'd be limited to carrying one because it would be a big piece of kit, too big for an assault to carry.

Just thinking on my feet, what you reckon ?

heavies with nano hives promote camps. Camps with tents.

Give my assault suit a forgegun. And give scouts HMG's. See why you don't have one?

We're also larger targets which means we can't hide good with hmgs or forge guns

youre not supposed to hide as a heavy, your supposed to bowling ball though the enemy with your tons of hp.

no time to throw down some equipment there.

i think youre just asking too much from just one suit.

heavies with nano hives promote camps. Camps with tents.

well that'll be a reality this next build with grouping. Heavy: "Hey logi buddy, why don't you come here and drop me a nanohive so i can stay on this tower/building and rain death with my forge gun upon all the peasants" Logi: "Sure thing champ"

They need to realize what their scout or assault would be like without a nanohive

not sure if youre trolling at this point...

imagine your heavy with 1k less health....

if you want an equipment slot so bad use a different dropsuit.....
