It is indeed overpowered, but for corp battles for instance, where everyone is using top notch weapons, it wouldn't be that bad. The problem is when you use that suit against pugs...then it's just uneven.

I say we take that extra shield and give it to the poor scout

You obviously don't use the suit...

I can be inside a regular grenades radius at the outer edge of it and take moderate damage to my shields, i cannot be inside the ridiculous huge sized radius of a Flux grenade and keep any shields, they are all gone.

If you're ANYWHERE AT ALL in the Flux radius, shields are gone. If you're near the edge of the MUCH SMALLER radius of even a Prototype grenade, a well-tanked suit can still have shields left.

Properly cooked or not, direct hit or not, wide enough to be a clean miss for a regular grenade or not, Flux Grenades eat shields.

No the shield are not too high

Stop trying to make everything easy to kill

Back when ther was a difference between milita/basic/adv and proto the game was better because ppl aimed to get that best suit instead of sticking around basic and being able to kill the proto guy because the suit got nerfed so its easier for you to kill him instead of it being about you and your skill and tactical advantage to kill him

I liked the hp/pg/cpu and slot difference between each suit, i hope that you whiners dont moan about the suit bonuses added to suits in uprising you have already dumbed this game down enough

The point was that, against a shield-tanked suit, Flux Grenades are a solid counter, and regular grenades are NOT. You HAVE to land a PERFECT hit with a regular grenade just to crack the shields. With a Flux, just having the grenade in the right general vicinity is good enough.

And if you're catching yourself in the Flux area, you either suck (and wouldn't be able to land a well-cooked regular grenade anyway) or you're running a heavily armour-tanked suit that doesn't care about the tiny shield loss in comparison with your target losing 2/3 of their EHP instantly.

I'm not going to deny that you play well, but you're very bad at this "having a valid point" thing. You should work on that, since you obviously don't need to work on your gun game.

EDIT: Changed to "having a valid point" because it's more accurate.

Its easy to make a basic gank fit with a gek if you want

Its too eays now, sure proto may give you a bit of extra life not like in the old days where it assured you had a long life spam and were harder to take down because you earned that ****

Everything got a nerf to help players kill each other because it was too hard

Dusters*, not GNN.

Dusters yet again shows their complete disillusionment with the game. Type II OP? wtf? Seriously???? The type II doesn't even have 3 friggin slots. Stupid title, stupid thread.

I hate when people give huge legit reasons to nerf something that doesn't need nerfing. The type II, B-series and VK dont need nerfing just because the player spent so much sp and time getting to a better suit. GTFO nerf blog!!!

Let's say we're in Uprising:

-Caldari Assault vk.1 still gets 500+ shields, decent movement speed and now gets a minimum of 25% extra shield recharge
-Minmatar Logistics vk.1 (my fit) still has a bigger hitbox, but gets 250 shields, 370 armor (or 430 with no rep module), 2 Complex damage mods, is carrying Triage Nanohives, and now has +5 armor rep from skills. Movement speed is 4.89 (or 4.85 with 4 basic plates) but the plates still give hidden initial movement speed penalties (acceleration for dropsuits).

Now tell me which one you think has better survivalbility.
