ive used each tier of suits for assaults and have come to find out there is no noticeable difference in strength in suits, militia, standard, advanced , and proto guns all kill about the same.

the same gun found in militia can be just as deadly as a proto or advanced and vice versa.
the only good quality to having a higher tier suit is more equipment spaces or other objective based mods thats it.

if we are wasting money for an equipment slot then the tiers of dropsuits are flawed if anything maybe make a module that extends an equipment slot per dropsuit. if a militia suit and a proto are out on the field there should be a notiveable difference besides looks.

even with modules you still get the same result no matter what weapon you face. if i have complex extenders in with sheild reps i should have a high suit health strong enough to survive basic militia weapons without seeing both my sheild and armor drop in half a second. granted there are ppl who have played this build running militia gear with the damage mods and the SP in the right places but still i shouldnt be blindsided by a militia fit if im running around in armor 2-3 tiers above it.

not saying i need to feel godly in my suit theres plenty of trolls on here who do that themselves but its just anoying that in battle sometimes the mitia or the standard guy is leagues above the advanced and proto.

Better suits with higher CPU/PG and proto weapons are almost infinitely better than militia gear... however, when lag is at play, nothing seems to make a lick of difference.

I have resorted back to my freebie starter kits after a few lag-intensive and annoying matches tonight. And I gotta say, is is SO much more fun when I don't have to buy a bunch of crap all the dang time and when I don't have to worry about losing valuable gear due to ******** reasons.

Buying loadouts just doesn't work in a FPS game, I realize CCP wants to revolutionize the FPS world, but this is the wrong way. There needs to be at least 3-4 different FREE variations of each class (3 variations of assault, heavy etc), and each class should have the ability to be upgraded with several items without having to pay for a suit. Meaning if I just want a upgraded weapon (even proto), I can skill it up and use that weapon, without having to skill a whole new suit and all the other BS along with it.

Then if people want to totally customize their character, they can skill suits and do as they wish with them. But a LOT more permanent things need to be in play for a game like this to be successful. Having a buy a new suit, new AR, new side-arm, new nanohive, new CPU upgrade, new complex shield thingy, new light damage boost etc etc etc is VERY TEDIOUS AND ANNOYING.

LOL THIS GUY WANTS TO BE IN GOD MODE WITH A PROTO SUIT, AND DOESN'T LIKE THE MILITIA PEOPLE KILLING HIM LOLOLOLOL.
