The basic suits are so you can just try out that size frame, why would you go PRO Basic? It makes no sense. Basic is there to give you a feel for the suit before you invest all your SP into a class. There is no insentive to stay Basic rather than use a specialized suit.

Im not apposed to this but it would need lots of balance work 35% res is probably to high. Better to low ball it at first and then increase as needed. Might need to make heavys slower as well.

Since we're throwing out far-fetched bordering ridiculous ideas in here,

The Scout suit needs to get 11% chance to evade incoming damage per level with a maximum of 50% chance to evade at level 5.

Yey! And more CPU/PG.

when you do the total calculation at lvl 5 having a 30-45% resistance will still allow a singe militia AR to kill you in 1 clip. the difference is that they have to hit you with more concentrated fire, than they do now.

now they just need to spray half a clip into you and that kills you in less than a second. in 27 bullets out of the 60 clip, a Militia AR does close to 837 damage (31 damage per shot times 27)

this means that someone in a free suit can kill most heavies in less than half a clip. at 30 rounds this militia AR does 930 damage. literally praying and spraying with this gun pays off when it comes to killing heavies because their slow speed, and large hit box make it easy to hit them, and since less than 1/2 your clip is needed to kill one all you gotta do is spray

this 30%-45% resistance will ensure that more rounds are required from that clip, so a noob who just sprays and prays can't kill your over priced screaming metal death trap... i mean heavy suit.



^^the above calculations did not include the 10% buff, or proficiency, or damage mods. with the 10%, 15% and 18% from the buff, proficiency and 2 complex damage mods respectively 1199 damage is done with 27 bullets into the clip.

but we have that already. the efficacy rating at the bottom when you aim at someone tells you the percent of the maxing damage your doing.

I would be ok with getting rid of them. They are not at all as weak as everyone keeps complaining about, and I for one am tired of running into them and dying. So yes, CCP, please grant this request if they are so unhappy with their armor. My corp mates that use them don't seem to have any trouble and I still see plenty of them out there. If they were so crippled I would expect to see them less, but what do I know...
