The suit doesn't get used enough and i assume its because the base HP and slot load out are unappealing but personally i think its a great suit but requires more SP to get the most out of it compared to say the caldari which is pretty easy to get a good fitting. 5 high slots for 3 complex extenders and 2 complex damage mods and the lows can be fitted out with 2 basic plates and the suit will still move faster than any other assault even if they aren't wearing plates. That set up is 700 total HP, not too bad at all but the armour rep kinda sucks at 1hp/s. Could swap a plate for a repper or catalyser but it will be a tight fit which is why the core stuff needs to be maxed or you will be running with 1 low slot for a while. IMO the suit is just as competitive as the others just takes more time to get it there.

except you will lack some CPU there pal ^^

I'm so glad that i went Minmatar it fast like nothing especially it light suits. I come with a build in armor repair and is the fastest suit in the game and i nickname a fit "Hitman". The suit may not have the strongest suit and have the same shield and armor like the Gallente and Caldari, but I think CCP did a great job not making this suit useless but useful ( I don't get the Amarr suits, beside the heavy). I heard some people hating on the suit and saying that it not supportive or not great on the offensive, this is what i said " You don't know how to use them properly". The minmatar is a strategic suit in which you got to think in order to attack, flank, or retreat. The minmatar is like the only balance suit suit in the game not too strong or too weak but perfectly, But i can make it powerful.

So for all of you that dislike the suit or hate, I don't care what you said I stayed true to my race and I'm happy about it.

I kind of disappointed that i force to get a Amarr Heavy, because it the only one.

But I WILL get everything minmatar when I have the power to do so. Have you seen the concept art for the minmatar tank? 4 tracks! super speed tank ftw!
