I'm a proud Gallente, and yet I'm stuck in this filthy Caldari Assault Dropsuit! I want my Gallente Assault drop suit!
Now seriously: I know this has been suggested, but the reason I'm making this post is because of differences between the races.
Currently, unless you're a Heavy, if you aren't going for shields - You're doing it wrong! Assault dropsuits have more spaces for shield upgrades and most of the useful modules are for low slots. We have one advantage for Armor, high slots are where the damage upgrade modules go... but that's about it.
So my suggestion is: (Assault dropsuits) Give Gallente suits more low slots than high, and high amount of Armor compared to other races. Give Caldari suits more high slots than low (like we have now), and a high amount of shields compared to other races. Give Amarr suits more low slots than high, and high amount of armor compared to other races. Give Minmatar suits mixed amont of slots, and mixed amount of armor and shields. (What we have now)
Also, add more useful modules to high slots other than damage upgrades. And add some "suit integrity" bar so we will have a hull meter, that way loss of armor =/= death, so there will be a buffer to take cover like shield users do. (Which is actually kinda stupid if you think about it, armor protects the vital systems in a dropsuit, its not the dropsuit itself, so you shouldn't die when losing all your armor) And increase armor repair rate, I know it has the advantage of repairing itself even under fire, but the rate is so slow that unless your shield is fired at for 2 minutes you gain no benefit from it. |

it would fill a very specialized role, but it would be cool to see someone make that work.
edit - also you don't always die when you lose all your armor. I've survived at 0 armor quite a few times. Well, you see unless the suit itself is made out of paper you shouldn't die instantly even if its -1 armor. There is no buffer for armor users while there is for shield users, that should be fixed. |

+1, even if you killed our homeworld. We will fight together to get our racial suits... for now. I do not like this Caldari design, its specifications say that everything in that suit is designed to be practical, not comfortable. I would like my Gallente engineers to create something I could work with 24/7. |
