Hi folks,

I already started a thread about this topic and want to put in a request.

Even if this won't be implemented would be interesting to hear some official feedback on this.

The basic problem is that if you want to play Artificer you have the chance of either resurrect a fallen player or heal him if you haven't unlocked the racial dropsuits yet. There's simply no dropsuit which has at least two Equipment slots so I could equip a Nanite Inector and a Repair Tool simoultaniously.

Especially during random battles it is very hard to get a squad together which plays together and has a dropsuit fitting which is matched (one player has Injectors, the other one has the Repair Tool).

Is there any chance to get at least one drop suit which is usable and has at least 2 EQ slots?


Cheers!

2 ways they could have done this:

1. Add a 2 slot logistics suit at militia level for all suits and 3 slot suits in basic frame. At prototype, they should have the slot layout of the logistic suits we have now, but without the bonus. Everyone gets their logi suits for the same price and everyone's happy. Logi suits with logi/racial bonuses look appealing from this level, but you have enough SP left to prioritize on core skills, mods, weapons, and most important: equipment. No SP sink, problem solved. Or, even better:

2. Dual prerequisite system between basic frame and racial suits for all sizes and classes. One level in basic frame unlocks the ability to skill one level in class suit. So, you do a level in basic frame, you get a level in logistics frame. Go back and level basic again to unlock a level in logistics frame. That way, nobody has to get level 5 in a suit class just to unlock a tier one class suit with an inferior meta level just for a racial bonus. Everyone's happy, the SP sink is still there, but it feels like less of an SP sink because everything is on the same level.

As of right now, the logi class which is already starved for SP has to put out more to get less while all the other classes can get into last build's variations of their suits and pilots can get into their respective proto vehicles in almost half the time.

I agree that the current skill spec to get a basic Logi suit is exorbinant. However I don't agree with giving anyone 2+ equipment slots without specializing into support.

In my humble opinion, it should be a medium frame suit option, with a race version beyond, like most other suits.

I miss DUST 514. This DUST 14/5 is not nearly as nice a game.

Elite pack has one.

You've forgotten to add a wink

[quote=J Lav]What is so bad with an additional EQ slot? Was it so bad the way it was before the patch? I could get 2/3 EQ slot dropsuits as easy as other classes get theirs but now...
