The ones that require skills (the BPCs) will also benefit from the related passives in that skill. So, if you had maxed Caldari assault, wearing one those 50 copies of the C-1 will get you the reload and shield recharge bonus from the racial suit you've leveled up. On the other hand, the BPO will never give you any racial-suit related passives, it's just free. |

The stats even reflect the Assault variant of the medium Caldari dropsuit. Dren Assault "C-I" refers to the fact that it is a Caldari Assault...correct? So surely it would get the same bonuses as the BPC's?
Nope. That's the price of it not requiring the skills. If it requires the skills, you get the passives. If it's a no-requirement item, then you get no variant related bonuses. Contrast this with the Raven suit BPO. It's also a BPO, but requires Caldari Medium V and Caldari Assault I. You get bonuses when you wear that one. |

These suits still receive bonuses like the rest of the racial variant standard dropsuits as my Dren Logistics M-I has the extra 5hp/s that the Minmatar logistics receive. It also got the hacking bonus.
So as it stands, the 50 Assault C-I still have no use in this merc pack.
... Are you sure? I haven't tried them personally, but I was just going off information on the suit stats.
Here... someone tells me that the skills don't work (I'm asking that exact question)
And here someone else confirms it. If it works for you.. I don't know?

Ok... I can't speak to the Dren items, but I just checked this out:
The Covenant Assault suit (A Caldari Standard Assault suit in the Vet pack) is statistically identical to a Caldari Assault C-1 suit (whichever the std model is). However, it has no skill requirements.
I just checked, and it DOES get the shield recharge bonus from the Caldari Assault skill. If the Dren suits are the same... well...
So, yeah. I won't say that's bugged. I guess it's really nice if you bought the suits actually?
But it does make an extra 50 assault suits... uh... redundant. |
