Perhaps I missed this info somewhere, but I haven't seen any ETA on race specific Heavy dropsuits. Only the Amarr Sentinel appears to be available right now, forcing a Caldari or Gallente player to run a "Basic" Heavy Frame to get two high slots. Has there been any word on when the other races Heavies will be added?
Also, to unlock even the "Basic" Amarr Heavy you need to invest 1.8 million skill points. When additional race specific Heavies are added, has there been discussion of permitting players with Level 5 Amarr Heavy to transfer those points to another race? I ask because I want to run Heavy, but if the current SP respec offer is the only way to get that 1.8 million back I may be forced to run a generic logi and sit on the unallocated points until the other Heavy suits are released.
Thanks for any info you can provide on these questions. |

Thanks for the replies, it sounds like there has not been much information on how CCP plans to manage the addition of Heavy racial variants.
As there are a lot of players in heavies, would someone on CPM be willing to 'poke' CCP for an answer? I'm not looking for exact dates/stats but trying to answer the question? I can run the "Basic" Amarr with two highs for now to shield tank, but dont want to miss the skill respec window if thats the only way to get the Amarr SP back.
Specifically:
When additional race specific Heavies are added, has there been discussion of permitting players with Level 5 Amarr Heavy to transfer those points to another race?

Thanks for the reply Iron Wolf. It is appreciated.
At the least I hope CCP considers refunding any SP spent within a dropsuit skill tree when a racial variant is added to that tree. I think that's what you were suggesting as your preference. Players should be confident in spending their SP now and enjoying the content we do have. This game will be a lot less enjoyable if players are hoarding their SP trying to avoid wasting months of SP on a tree they don't really want but have to skill into to even play as a heavy.
Someone mentioned you don't need 1.8 million SP to play Heavy. That is true, however I stated that it requires 1.8 million invested in Amarr Heavy Suits to shield tank. (unlock the Basic Advanced A/1 - Series) If you want to play as a shield heavy (which most Gallente or Caldari players probably would) then that is the only suit with more than 1 high slot and so it is the only suit where "shield tanking" is even remotely possible (though still not really tanking with only two slots).
Also, suggesting you just run militia heavy with 1 high and 1 low slot and limited CPU/PG for months is kind of silly. No suits should be a position at launch where the "smart move" is to only run militia. |
