why giving the heavy users a hard time CCP?
we are NOT death machines we barely hold our own against scouts why you hate Heavy suit so much that you make it hard to train/attain every time you introduce something new. If you want to eliminate the heavy suit do it at once no need for all this BS you are throwing at us, its enough we are running the most underpowered and most difficult suit to train in the beta.

/rant over and so my days with the heavy suit

I understand where you came from but the heavy dropsuits is just another suits it doesn't have any advantage (in fact it has many disadvantages compared to the other suits) or special abilities so why making us wait longer to use while other classes can access there suits form the get go unless they gave it something in return, its just stupid and don't make sense.

Probably going to involve a change to starting kits, then. Might not be able to start out as heavy if it requires more SP in dropsuit command.

'Course it looks like I'll have to get it to V for my pilot suit. Which makes sense, I guess, given how powerful pilot suits have the potential to be.

So we get a.disadvantage of having to put the most sp into something we don't really need if we're content with the regular heavy suit

1. Its not the amount of SP am talking about its the concept for delaying the heavy users i mean why? whats the point?
2. On release the SP gain will be much much less than the current one (4 times less to be exact) so 256K will take time later when the game is released.

Yeah unless there is something special about the heavy suit, this whole new system is just weird maybe am missing something

If you select a heavy when you create your character you will already have the pre-requesite so no big deal really.

They might remove these starter kits to fit the new skill progression, we'll have to see. As to the person that said 256k SP is a nights worth of matches, I'm PRAYING that we are put on a SIGNIFICANTLY more passive SP gain model, or else people are going to max out very quickly, and it's just gonna be stupid. Very, very stupid.

Yes the 4x sp boost was removed after the last build. You should have seen the amount of SP we could earn then. I'm talking about poor players getting 60k sp a match and good ones getting more like 120k sp. By comparison the current build is tediously slow though you can still get great sp if you know a trick or two.

Hopefully it's not glitches or exploits, otherwise you're not being a very good tester >_< (by not reporting it, that is)

-5% reduction to your profile signature per level should be a skill in its self. Should not be linked to unlocking suits if you ask me.

actually according to the order of the unlocks and your post, The heavy suit should be at lvl 1 because its not like you will sneak into someone with fat slow suit! the heavy will be first to spot no matter what lvl they are at in fact the scouts need this more than anyone else to be able to get up and close unnoticed.

So yeah unlocking the heavy suit at lvl 3 is useless

I could careless about the heavy suit am HAV user but the logic behind the new dropsuit command training forcing everyone to start with assault suit so does that mean no more starter fits?

Edit: we don't know yet what is the new multiplier
