If the Amarr Heavy Bonus is 2% dropsuit shield and armour increase per level, what will the other racial Heavy Bonuses be?

Minmatar: Speed?
Gallente: Damage?
Caldari: Range?

I'd probably give them something along the lines of:
Gallente Heavy Dropsuit- 3% armor plate health bonus increase per level
Caldari Heavy Dropsuit- 3% shield extender increase per level
Minmatar Heavy Dropsuit- 5% increase to heavy weapon RoF per level

Scouts could use a reduction to the Armor Penalty too!!

Ferroscale plates should resolve that issue...

I didn't read all seven pages... but please don't kill logis by removing the EHP bonus... esp if assault gets 10% damage.

All logis should have an EHP bonus.

Logi Bonus: 5% CPU/PG reduction per level
Caldari: 5% Shield extenders
Gallente: 5% armor plating
amarr: 3%/3% shield/armor
minmatar: 2%/2% shield/armor

Something like the above here would make much more sense.. logis are slow and inherently weaker... give them the option to go all out hp, since we will be sacrificing 10% damage + combat oriented bonuses anyways.

all im gonna say is... if they give cal logis that worthless nanohive bonus, then they better offer a respec.

Cal Logi is not OP... use it in PC and you'll find it barely holds it own.

If anything the other logi classes are UP.

Or if you insist we recieve worthless equipment bonuses, then we need at least equal base hp to assault suits.

Otherwise logis are just free WPs to assaults.

I decided to revive this thread for the sake of edits due to the added Commando suit, ferroscale and reactive armor plates, and also because lolwhynot.

Since I get the feeling that most people write and read in General Discussion exclusively, I am copying and pasting this from Feedback/Requests.

Racial bonuses create imbalances in the game. They seem completely and utterly arbitrary, and the game's overall balance suffers for it. We all know the most glaring and over-discussed racial bonus, the Caldari logi shield extender buff, but what about the heavy's "weapon feedback damage reduction?" What about the shield recharge rate increase to all the assault suits, even though it mostly benefits Amarr and Caldari? If any of these bonuses have any real reason behind them, may a Dev feel free to come in and tell me about it, but otherwise, I suggest a complete re-work of racial bonuses, and class bonuses.

Assault
Assault Dropsuit Bonus- 2% hand-held weaponry damage increase per level
Caldari Assault Bonus- 5% shield recharge rate increase per level
Gallente Assault Bonus- 10% basic armor plate movement penalty reduction per level
Minmatar Assault Bonus- 5% hand-held weaponry clip increase per level
Amarr Assault Bonus- 5% reduction to energy weapon heat build-up per level

Logistics
Logistics Dropsuit Bonus- Keep +1 armor repair per level
Caldari Logistics Bonus- 10% nanohive nanite capacity bonus per level
Gallente Logistics Bonus- 5% equipment PG/CPU reduction per level
Minmatar Logistics Bonus- Keep 5% hacking speed bonus per level
Amarr Logistics Bonus- 5% repair module and reactive plate repair rate increase per level

Heavy
Heavy Dropsuit Bonus- 2% hand-held weaponry damage received reduction per level
Amarr Sentinel Bonus- 2% dropsuit shield and armor increase per level
Amarr Commando Bonus- 5% decrease in light weapon CPU and PG use per level

Scout
Scout Dropsuit Bonus- Keep 5% scan profile reduction per level
Gallente Scout Bonus- 10% dropsuit and active scanner scan radius increase per level
Minmatar Scout Bonus- Keep 5% melee and nova knife damage increase per level

You can see, excluding scouts, the bonuses have been changed to fit the role of the suit. The assault dropsuit's role has been strengthened for long life and general combat, the logistics dropsuit's role has been strengthened to triage and miscellaneous activities, and the heavy dropsuit's role has been strengthened to survivability beyond the assault dropsuit. Scouts still retain their recon and intelligence roles, and they are all spec'd to do what they are meant to do. Most importantly, there were no dropsuit base stat nerfs, which seems to be most people's ideas to fix imbalances.

Feel free to make your own amendments, and comment.

EDITS: Deleted crowded edit section to start over if I receive more suggestions.

Only a few things i'd changed in your suggestion to be honest :

Logistics
Logistics Dropsuit Bonus- 5% equipment PG/CPU reduction per level
Caldari Logistics Bonus- 10% nanohive nanite capacity bonus per level
Gallente Logistics Bonus- +1 armor repair rate per level
Minmatar Logistics Bonus- Keep 5% hacking speed bonus per level
Amarr Logistics Bonus- 5% repair module and reactive plate repair rate increase per level

Very important that the specialization bonus ties into the support role and not into survivability. Effect is the same, one slot saved as you wont need a CPU or PG extender.

Heavy
Sentinel Specialization Bonus- Damage reduction is pretty tricky atm according to Devs. I'd go with a +5% bonus to hp of base shield and armor per level.
Amarr Sentinel Bonus- Should be tied to the efficiency of an Amarr Heavy weapon. Could be 1% damage buff to heavy weapons in the meantime.

Commando specialization bonus : I'd go with a 3% increase to sprint, stamina and stamina recovery per level.
Amarr Commando Bonus- 5% decrease in light weapon CPU and PG use per level


Assault
Assault Dropsuit Bonus- 2% hand-held weaponry damage increase per level (may be a bit too much, even 1% is enough to send a signal )
Caldari Assault Bonus- 5% shield recharge rate increase per level
Gallente Assault Bonus- 10% basic armor plate movement penalty reduction per level
Minmatar Assault Bonus- 5% hand-held weaponry clip increase per level
Amarr Assault Bonus- 5% reduction to energy weapon heat build-up per level

rest would be ok for me.

Scout
Scout Dropsuit Bonus- Keep 5% scan profile reduction per level
Gallente Scout Bonus- 10% dropsuit and active scanner scan radius increase per level
Minmatar Scout Bonus- Keep 5% melee and nova knife damage increase per level

will leave scout judge that part.

So mostly, those bonuses fits what i'd suggest myself.

I understand people think that Logi Cladari is OP but 10% nanite ussuage per level sucks like seriously thats nerfing it to hell

At least someone understands.

Do you have proto nanohives logi bro? You must... at which point you would have to understand there is never a need for a nanohive bonus, its pretty much worthless.

Some people want to support their team while still actually having the ability to be on the front line. Cal logi is perfect for what it does.

It doesn't replace a real heavy in the least.
It gets roflstomped by real assaults already.
It has just enough utility to actually be viable in PC.

If anything, the other logi classes are kind of a joke atm.

Like I said.. if you wanna take away the logi survivabiltiy bonus, then offer a respec. Taking away 9 weeks of SP because you felt like absolutely destroying a specific playstyle is downright insulting.

I ran min logi with my first respec and I hated it... the suit was a complete POS. Cal logi has just enough hp bonus to compensate for its poor movement and lower base hp.

If these are the kind of bonuses they want to put in the game, then please let me respec into assault.

Plenty of weapons have been altered without a respec, there shouldn't be a difference for an overpowered suit.

Not sure why you guys are trying to adjust the bonuses all around and still keep the minmatar assault with the worst bonus in the game.

TBH to stay true to the minmatar assault specialty it should have a 5% bonus to stamina/stamina recovery per lvl. That would be a bonus that the suit could actually use. A bonus to mag size for sidearms is perhaps one of the most worthless bonuses in the game.
