I think I got it, the amarr are meant to be a class lower than it. the assault amarr is meant to be the amarr scout and the amarr logi is meant to be the assault amarr and here is the big kicker the amarr heavy is meant to be the amarr logi so wait im sure a heavier amarr class is coming out.

And for what reason do you believe that the Amarr suit should be as fast as other suits?

I would guess its since the Gallente use a more high tech light weight alloy.

While the amarr get more armour by using more metal(I think gold, cause it looks like gold)

The answer is very simple. The filthy Amarr have to stop after every step a reflect on their own perceived superiority.

Yes, Amarr tend to be armor tankers which means armor plates which leads to speed penalties, but so do the Gallente. The Gallente are also armor tankers yet their suits do not suffer from an across the board speed penalty.

I would like to assume that it is a balancing method to counterbalance the fact that the Amarr suits have a hefty amount of PG and CPU in comparison to the other suits. I assume it would be imbalanced to allow the Amarr suits to have a nice chunk of PG and CPU AND be as quick as the other suits as well. Then again, the Amarr suits "need" the larger PG and CPU values in order to fit their complementary laser weapons (although which weapons a person uses is to their own discretion).

The amarr assault suits have a bonus to laser rifle overheating


1. The amarr, compared to gallente, assault also has more max CPU/PG while having a bit of a speed penalty, would you like to remove the CPU/PG advantage in order to get rid of the speed penalty?


2. If you add up the total shield/armor for the amarr it comes to 360, if you add it for gallente it is 330, again you have more shield/armor total in the amarr than the gallente would you want to remove that advantage to increase the speed?


3. The amarr recharge delay is 6 while the gallente is 7, again same question...are you willing to lose this to gain the speed?


4. The amarr sprint duration is 20 while Gallente is only 15.......this is because amarr's stamina is 200 while gallente is only 150..are you willing to lose stamina for speed?


5. Amarr stamina recharge rate is 20 while gallente is also 15, again.......same question.

I think you didn't look deep enough at the stats before using the Gallente class in your example.

Do you want me to do this for a different class of suit? If you are not an assault suit user I can do the comparisons for whatever class you want. It is the same for the scout, logi, and heavy when comparing amarr to gallente and I do have all the stats right here if you would like me to post anything.
