I disagree. Removing the HP bonuses on Advanced and Proto gear on scouts/assaults/logis was a good thing. And if you can't fit better/more stuff on your Advanced or Proto suits than on Standard, you're doing something wrong.
Now, removing HP bonuses on the Advanced and Proto heavy suits was not good. The Proto heavy only has one extra low and one extra high slot over the Standard suit. Scout, assault and logi Proto suits all get one or two extra low slots AND high slots AND one or two extra equipment slots, which obviously makes a huge difference over the Standard suits. The extra low and high slot on the heavy barely makes a difference. |

So I don't agree that all tiers above 1 are useless and the CPU/PG values are about the same and that you'll never be able to use the additional slots. And you get more bang for your Electronics/Engineering when you're applying that +25% to a larger value as well.
Exactly, and with Electronics and Engineering at level five, the difference is much bigger.

Avenger 245 wrote:They should increase them HP given from HP boosters to compensate. and to point this out if how much HP depends on slots now then wouldnt the logi be able to fit enough modules to make it the best suit?
Yeah it is to some degree. Except for maybe the scouts there's not really a penalty for fitting armor plates now, since strafing is almost non-existant and less movement speed won't have such a big impact. So a fully fitted logi is probably better than a fully fitted assault, even though it would have less movement speed.
You only lose a sidearm slot this way, but get some extra equipment slots in return.

Kay High wrote:I agree with the OP. If you were to compare the suits we are getting to real life then you see that in RL there is several "Tiers" of armour. For instance you can conpare millitia suits to things like the simple "Battle Rattle" of the Us millitary that just consists of some metal plating only rated for shrapenel, Advanced suits can be compared to the Full Kevlar vests that can take a lot more damage (HP) and is the same weight as the Battle rattle. The Proto suits can be compared to the experimental "Dragon Scale" armour plating that can take multiple shots before the user takes much damage. In all these cases the "HP" of the user increases.
Balance > realism. Proto suits were too good over Standard suits.
Kay High wrote:I do admit that with current tech we dont have to worry about cpu and PG but the concept is the same. I liked the tiered HP for suits it made it seem that you are getting more powerful but you still died to millitia weapons if you got caught off gaurd or were just stupid.
Yes, but unless you was stupid, you was pretty much unkillable by Milita and Standard gear. |
