When you walk into the war barge you see a sea of yellow, but no white. Why is this? Well let's look at what they did with the specialized suits.
You level up your basic suit to level 5 and get your prototype suit, this is already a really great suit. But then you are given the option to go into specialized suits, at which case you start right over with the bad suits stat-wise but you are getting an extra bonus. With Assault suits, the suits are identical to the basic suits in every way so these bonuses don't make the assault better than your Basic Prototype suit until you get to Level 5 in Assault suits.
Now look at the Logistics. Yes you still have to start over with low level suits that aren't as good as your Basic Prototype, but the stats aren't identical to your level 1 basic suit. You get more CPU/PG and more equipment slots. So even if it's not exactly better than your Basic Prototype, it provides you another way of playing that you simply can't do with your basic suits.
But wait, there's more. The bonuses themselves are stacked towards logistics. The universal assault bonus is increased shield recharge rate. Everyone knows that stat is next to worthless. Meanwhile the universal logistics bonus is passive armor repair, which is absolutely invaluable. It's an easy choice when deciding which to skill into.
So what do you think should be done? Obviously they should give the assault suits something different with the fitting and CPU/PG or something to make them different than the basic equivalents minus the skill bonus. Perhaps give them a second light weapon, or an extra grenade slot, just something. And secondly change the universal assault bonus to something on the same level of value as armor repair, such as shield delay reduction.
What else could they do? |

What do you guys think though of how they could change the fitting options for Assault? Would 2 light weapons be too much? |

I think that having a heavy grenade slot that gives you more nades....say like 5-6 locus nades or AV nades would be enough of a reason for ppl to spec into assault.
Well I'm implying that they would adjust CPU/PG accordingly, just like logistics gets a sh** ton more to account for the equipment slots. |

The assault suit the universal bonus probably should be something damage related.
Anyways I'm at the point where I'm about to pick my specialization. I went with Gallente Medium and I was going to do Logistics, but we have more than enough logistics players at the moment. Yet it's hard to choose Assault. As Gallente my shields are extremely low, so shield recharge rate would help me even less than it usually does for others. And since the suit is exactly the same as the basic line, I would be investing 3 million SP just for a 25% reduction in hybrid weapon CPU/PG. This is ridiculous!!!
The biggest thing that needs to happen as soon as possible is make the assault line different than the basic line, let it offer a style of play you couldn't do before. Logistics do this, so why not assault? They have to do something in regards to the amount of weapon/grenade slots you get. |
