Back when people first lifted the Plasma Cannon description, it was a copy/paste of the Swarm Launcher.

Sounds like they're using the existing descriptions as best-fits until they're ready to actually release things.

But it also emphasises the "it's an AR" theory over the "it's a Sniper Rifle" theory.

Oooooooh SPEC OPS!!

I just want a amarr laser tank. With a god beam that when it hits people they explode like floating pinatas . O and lesbian attack dogs

So it's usual CCP laziness?

Target practice for my minmatar fighter's autocannons.

Interesting, so:

Damage scouts & stealth scouts
Hack logis & medic logis
Stamina assaults & shield assaults
Super heavies & verstile assault/heavy hybrids (guessing they can carry equipment)

So these Pod pilots hacked the Calderi Intelligence Mainframe (i.e got the database legally from eves API data dump).

And it appears there are several types of GÇ£advancedGÇ¥ dropsuit class on thier way, as well as a reclassification of existing suits (we knew this already). So here they are.

I literally just cut and paste the class blurbs and let you decided what it means. Its a database dump, so take this all with a pinch of salt, this database speculating is something CCP refer to in Eve as GÇ£crystal ballingGÇ¥.

Link to the page below. Also Pilots suits are on the there too. And final apologies to anyone who has seen this already or has opened a similar thread.

Logistics

GÇ£Sigma units are experts in circumventing and disrupting enemy electronics systems. Sigma-class dropsuits utilize an array of analysis and processing subroutines to augment the operatorGÇÖs skill, significantly increasing the speed at which enemy security protocols can be overridden.GÇ¥

GÇ£Omen specialists are trained to assess battlefield emergencies and act without hesitation. With advanced knowledge of engineering, they work to revive and repair, maintaining combat effectiveness across a broad spectrum of mechanical and biological units. Omen-class dropsuits incorporate additional nanite helixes to more effectively deal with injuries.GÇ¥

Scout

GÇ£Breach units overwhelm and disrupt enemy defenses with a combination of speed and power. Their mobility allows them to outflank and overwhelm high-threat targets. Breach-class suits are derived from the Scout framework, but utilize a proprietary interface for increased weapon damage and carrying capacity.GÇ¥

GÇ£Spec Ops units perform clandestine work. Trained to move through the battlefield undetected, they utilize suits designed to minimize acoustic and electronic signatures making the wearer virtually invisible. Spec Ops-class suits are ideal for bypassing point defenses or infiltrating key battlefield locations.GÇ¥

Assault

GÇ£Shock units hit the enemy hard and fast. Experts in close-quarters combat, they excel at assaulting entrenched positions and breaking up squad formations. The Shock-class dropsuit is designed to maximize survivability. Built upon the base Assault framework, it features enhanced shield output and redundant energy cells for quicker recharging.GÇ¥

GÇ£Spectres are trained to survive. Elite operatives whose work is precise and efficient, Spectres are wetwork specialists with unwavering discipline. The Spectre-class dropsuit uses predictive kinetics to improve reaction speed and enhance muscle output, allowing users to conserve energy and thereby effectively increasing overall stamina.GÇ¥

Heavy

GÇ£Titan operatives are stoic and unwavering. Trained to guard critical battlefield locations, they are the ultimate point defense specialists. Titan-class dropsuits push the limits of mobile frame armor technology, increasing protection while still maintaining minimal effective mobility.GÇ¥

GÇ£Atlas training emphasizes mental toughness and endurance as Atlas specialists are often dispatched to heavy fire zones where they are tasked with drawing enemy fire in support of allied rescue or frontline operations. Atlas-class dropsuits forego the benefits of heavy weapon usage in favor of a more versatile framework.GÇ¥

Toxin AR, sounds freaky.

Titan suit........mmmmmnomnom

- Please let this "leak" be true.....

The new suit classifications were part of the market on Buckingham for almost the entire duration of that server being used as the Test Server for EVE.
