How the hell would a PG/CPU bonus work? What would that allow you to do that you can't now?

Fit stuff on HAVs.

I think you missed the point.
If it's the suit that's giving the bonus, how do you fit the stuff in the fitting window? The vehicle fitting window won't be able to account for the dropsuit that you'll be piloting it with.

lol player asking for feedback from the dev..
yeah this is how screwed up this game is..

The Caldari Variant should Receive a bonus to Hybrids due to the fact that Railguns and Blasters are the Same weapon type. Just give them A Range Bonus as opposed to a Damage bonus

Other then that, Nice Ideas.

Pilot suit.

5% bonus to vehicle PG per level.

Ok I am not a big vehicle user but how would you all feel about a role bonus on the suit for faster vehicle deployment/recall it would seem to me this could be useful and its unique.


So role bonus say
deployment/recall speed 10% bonus

As for racial I am not sure what is needed but I prefer suit give unique bonuses not found on modules if possible(probalaly why I like the min. assault suit bonus)

And then have dropsuit modules that affect vehicle stats for the suit


Will add to this later.....

Pilot suit is really synonymous with mechanized infantry. Lots of equipment, limited ammo, compact weapons and will have upgraded armor at the cost of dismounted mobility. Assuming we keep this crap frame system, they should be a heavy variant while the commando a light. Basically the opposite of what is planned. Anywho, here is what I would suggest as a "pilot suit" (bonuses affect both dropsuit and vehicle)

Heavy Frame - Pilot Xk.0
10% bonus to sidearm range/level

Ak.0
300/300
2/2/2/S/S/G
Heat buildup -5%/level

Gk.0
125/375
1/3/3/S/G
Sensor range +5%/level

Mk.0
275/175
3/1/3/S/G
Equipment cooldown -5%/level

Ck.0
375/125
3/2/2/S/G
Shield recharge +5%/level

Just spitballing here, but I see no value in a light frame pilot suit besides making vehicles even more expensive and still being useless out of them.

Pilot suits won't need armor, as the wearer is safe inside of a vehicle. Plus, those bonuses are terrible for vehicles. Are you a pilot?

If the pilot suit has no purpose outside of a vehicle, then just buff the tanks directly. And yeah, you could say I know a thing or two about vehicles.

This would apparently imbalance the vehicles.

But wasting 3M+ SP more for something necessary to bring them up to snuff makes sense?

Pilots should be paper thin outside of their vehicles otherwise people will use them in place of regular combat dropsuits. You could allow them increased functionality with equipment slots but why would they need them?

That would be the damn point. If they aren't combat suits, then just buff the hulls and scrap the "pilot" suit.
