This is a suggestion about specialization branches, similar to what is found within EVE. (i.e, with Field Command and Fleet Command ships, Combat Interceptors and Tackling Interceptors, Force Recon and Field Recon)
Assault
Blitz Assault
The Blitz Assault dropsuit is an exo-frame designed for quick raids. It is faster than the standard medium frame dropsuit and has an increased damage bonus to light weapons. It does, however, have limited equipment capacity, restricting its versatility. Granted, you shouldn't needing that versatility, as your job is to get in as quickly as possible, cause as much havoc as possible, then get out as soon as possible.
Crusader Assault
The Crusader Assault dropsuit is designed for long drawn-out campaigns against fortified enemy positions. They get a role bonus to armor regeneration (especially Amarr and Gallente variants) and improved shield regeneration (especially Caldari and Minmatar variants). They also get a 100% bonus to maximum ammo capacity and a good amount of equipment. It is also quite a bit more durable than the Blitz Assault. These attributes allow the Crusader Assault dropsuit to operate for prolonged periods in enemy territory without logistical assistance.
Logistics
Combat Logistics
The Combat Logistics dropsuit is a medium dropsuit frame designed to handle well in both combat and logistics. The Combat Logistics is a revisioned version of the Logistics dropsuit we currently have. It has regenerative capabilities, but only half as much as the current Logistics dropsuit has one less equipment slot than the current Logistics dropsuit. It does, however, get a 50% bonus to repair tool efficacy and a 50% bonus to nanite injector repair amount.
Field Logistics
The Field Logistics dropsuit is a medium dropsuit frame designed to handle logistics in the field. It has the full regenerative capabilities that the current Logistics dropsuit has, and gets a 100% bonus to the equipment it carries in terms of capacity. Nanohives provide 100% more ammo, Drop Uplinks can spawn 100% more clones, Nanite Injectors come in pairs of two, and remote explosives have double capacity. The Field Logistics is also quite a bit more durable than the Combat Logistics. It pays for these positive attributes by having no bonus to repairing as well as restricted weapon capability (either by the loss of a sidearm or loss of a light weapon in exchange for a sidearm).
Sentinel
Guardian Sentinel
The Guardian Sentinel is a heavy dropsuit designed to go on the defense. It is more durable than other large-framed dropsuits and gets a bonus to weapon range, but is the slowest heavy dropsuit. The Guardian Sentinel also gains regenerative properties, requiring less support for repairing in exchange for requiring more support for movement. The Guardian Sentinel also has a single piece of equipment that it can use.
Assault Sentinel
The Assault Sentinel is a heavy dropsuit designed to go on the offensive. It has a large increase to heavy weapon damage and has decent speed, but is slightly less durable than other heavy dropsuits. The Assault Sentinel also gives up a sidearm, losing the versatility to defend against certain threats. Without a sidearm, without equipment and without regenerative properties, the Assault Sentinel becomes very vulnerable to attack without logistical support. |
