Man on a mission?

WHAT...... IS YOUR QUEST?

This is the thing I worry about across all suits and in Balance discussions.
The tendency is to lump all things as a roleGǪ without the considerations about how it affects each suit in that role. This goes for Role Buffs and Nerfs, if one factional suit is doing much better than the others and you buff the role as a whole, we end up with the suit that was good before over performing, we nerf a role because one or two suits are over performing and the ones that war okay or under performing become way less viable.

Factions all function under different principle as well, and some aspects of the role lend well to functions. Look at Commandos, Min Commando does great at AV(better than most suits), should all Commandos take a nerf to AV (assuming it were OP) or should the Min be adjusted. Arguments could be made that they have OP Wallhacks with the new Vehicle detection rangeGǪ and Commandos should not get that crutchGǪ (No i am not seriousGǪ but one day someone will say it seriously)

Maybe sometimes we (Dust Community) should look at the bottom performer in the role and ask "is this working? Should we bring this up to the others or the others down to this? It may work better than nerf the role because XFaction is OP.

#1 downside to traveling faster than bullets:
Hits self when shoots bullet.

That'd be cool! The lighter the equipped weapon, the faster one's base movement speed.

Heavy Weapon > Light Weapon > Sidearm > Knives

If shield generators have weight then why don't everything have weight?
HMG vs NK's have no effect on speed/strafe/backpedal.

So if my minja went commando with nothing but knives and three red bottles....

"What was that?"
"John, you there?"

I'm really tired of the Trial by Democracy culture that seems to be growing more common recently. Every dispute is broadcast nationwide, and despite EVERYONE having an opinion, nobody actually bothers to inform themselves. They just read enough to confirm their biases and then trumpet them as loudly as they can. It defeats the entire purpose of the judiciary system if a person who is found to be innocent is forced to fear for their safety for the rest of their lives because a bloodthirsty mob decided that the courts were wrong.

Nobody but the courts, subjects and immediate families of those involved should interact with the case, period. Until we see some laws prohibiting the media's sensationalization of court cases (yeah right), this is going to keep happening.

Ok, you have a point about hiding round corners and sneaking up on groups. It depends how long it takes to register on radar. I still don't think it's going to be a huge problem, but did nova knifers really need nerfing? I don't see this short scan having much effect on shotgunners, or REs, or rifle scouts.

To Lynn Beck,
Your two damps won't help you. An assault or logi with 1 precision enhancer will still scan you at short range even with 3 damps.

The short scan doesn't encourage the use of EWAR mods as damps won't work against it and enhancers aren't needed (much).

I think it's time to recognise that Min scouts can't survive with worse dampening than other scouts. From this starting point, EWAR balance can be discussed much more easily. Then we can think about the fact that one enhancer is all a medium suit needs to pick up any (including Gallente and Caldari) scout with two damps at short range.

The range is too short to affect anyone except knifers , and too powerful to be allowed to be extended to a useful amount.

We should probably wait and see how it goes for a bit first though.

Another idea ... I'm sure something like it has already been suggested:

Basic Med Frame
* -1 to 2 Slot
* +1 EQ
* 50% Isk Discount

Basic Heavy Frame
* -1 Slot
* +1 EQ
* 50% Isk Discount

Basic Light Frame
* +1 to 2 Slot
* -1 EQ
* 50% Isk Discount

---

+1 EQ for Assault might appeal to Assault users who don't like their current racial bonuses. EQ on a Heavy could certainly come in handy. Scouts were assigned a 2nd EQ slot to fit cloak, but they can't fit cloak until they specialize; so why not drop the specialization slot, and add a utility slot or two?

I went 2/8 in a PC yesterday where there was truly atrocious lag: I was on about 3-5 FPS at the best of times and the game often completely froze for 3-second periods.

I was so embarrassed.

Welp I might be finally off that oh so strong drug known as smg.
Flaylock and now..Bolt pistol have taken its place.
