I want to be able to carry a heavy and light weapon, or at least that side arm AR
Make it happen CCP! Proto heavies should come with a built in Black eagle AR.

But seriously, yeah, they need to be looked at.

One of the suggestions made is similar to a thread I posted a LONG time ago.

Each class, needs a passive skill/trait that goes up with suit level. (standard/advanced/proto)
This needs to be small enough to prevent suit from being OP, but enough to give just another slight bonus to make the cost increase worthwhile.

Just random examples I made up on the fly.

ie:
Scout's speed goes up by 5% from std to adv, and another 5% from adv to proto
Heavy's HP goes up by 10% from std to adv, and another 10% from adv to proto
Assault's scanning goes up by 5% from std to adv, and another 5% from adv to proto
Logi's hacking and CPU go up by 5% from std to adv, and another 5% from adv to proto

#1 Armor plates and shield extenders should be a % of dropsuit base armor or shields.

I agree with everything but this ^.

That totally screws scouts over, the CPU/PG requirements for the % would totally make them worthless except to a heavy...just saying. I can't say much else but I know vehicle shield modules are split between light and heavy...maybe a dropsuit interpretation of that system?

i know scouts that go 1v1 against heavies with a hmg and take them out because of their shields. i think that suits should have size specific modules because it dose not seem right that a scout can have the same mods that a heavy can (like armor plates). Heaves need love as do assaults and logies, so CCP stop favoring the scout so much,

I'll give ya another free bump. I'm not a heavy, but even I see that the proto heavy is a joke.

Low level heavys need a bit of a nerf,(info from Sloth9230)

Low level heavys (type I) need a bit of a nerf, adv and proto heavys need good buff.

#1 Armor plates and shield extenders should be a % of dropsuit base armor or shields. Or dropsuit size specific modules

How can a scout fit as much addon armor on his suit as a heavy can. Yet the slow down is % based its just assbackwards.
Its like a lav fitting the same plates as a tank but getting slowed down the same % amount. Different surface area and strength and load capacity.

#2 heavy suits should gain minor health and minor base stat improvements going from mil to proto as should all suits. They should def be a little faster have slightly more stamina as should all suits

#3 they need a rework on slot capacity. No other combat suit cannot use equipment. Thus they should have lots of combat slots to work with. (how many can be balance by the devs but the suit progression from std to proto should make sense)

Mechanics for dropsuits should stack with armor plates added, this should also apply for shield extenders for its skill that is the same as mechanics for shields.

Slot count (proto)
Assault suits get 7 slots and 2 equipment slots
Logistics gets 8 slots and 4-3 equipment
Scouts get 6 slots and 2-3 equipments slots... but lack the CPU to use them.
Heavies get 5 slots

I'm still waiting for the logi is OP thread. There may have been one, but I missed it if so.

There have been some posts in my thread about equipment WP scaling that come pretty close, and at least one post in the training grounds which straight up said that Logi's are better Assaults than Assaults. But those are all isolated posts on full threads so I guess we're only half way there

Cheers,
Cross

ps ~ this is in no way a thinly veiled bump to a thread I find worth of more consideration

We need 1 more high and 1 or 2 more Low slots to be competitive for the Sp/Isk price of our gear. I haven't and most likely wont Speck into proto Heavy Dropsuits. Theres no reason to for 1 slot.

Hell if you made these (some or all) fixes I would be fine if you took my grenade slot away from the heavy (But dont if you dont need to )
