I feel like I am fighting the mechanics of the game. Knifing doesn't feel fluid. I wouldn't even run the damn cloak anymore if it weren't needed for dampening purposes. I have had to gimp all my fits just to fit a proto cloak, and now have to run 200 hp. I die in two stray shots. People can just spam whatever weapon they want my way, and I am dead. I absolutely hate the range nerf. I was literally killed, while cloaked, because you know, the guy just got lucky because I am so invisible, from a Min Assault from 9 m away because he was f*cking not showing up on tacnet. There is zero reason for me to enjoy running Minja right now. This is just as frustrating as Alpha to Charlie. I can't play this game until they decide that they want real balance and don't want to simply balance around the Gal scout and making changes that only serve to make all other scout suits non viable. On top of that, not one match tonight was remotely close. Every match was a stomp. So incredibly frustrated right now. Hm, I switched to use Knives and BreachScP on my Cal scout and I am doing fine. In fact, I'm doing great! I love knives! The new cloak delay doesn't really bother me at all. It feels clunky at first, but I got used to it very quickly.

Jebus McKing 1017	Posted - 2014.11.19 09:48:00 - [11] - Quote CCP Rattati wrote: So why is everyone thinking Mediums are getting a EWAR buff? I think the Falloff scans are enough to make it viable for a Medium to run one damp/precision/amp just to improve the innermost circle, at least to begin with. Moving to ewar efficacy for scouts will then counter the high native ewar slayer scouts. That's it basically. I still think Assaults should get the 5db profile buff so they can avoid a Gal Logi with proto active scanner if they have the proper fitting to do so. Scanning is too easy and too effective at ruining my clever flanking plans. --- Moving scout ewar bonuses to modules will be a game changer. I'm looking forward to it.

I need my King HP intact so I can have a chance against Heavies and Amarr Assaults. Those armored monsters don't give a hot damn about damps, and I don't stand a chance against them if I have to sacrifice HP for sneakiness. Nah, I prefer speed and regen. Together with CR and REs I'm still doing fine against Heavies if they don't have a scanner bro giving away my position. Heavy has to sacrifice nothing, still gets scans from his scanner bro. And I already need to use 2x damps to avoid GA/AM even if they don't have a single precision mod. That hardly seems right.

Give those armor monsters some drawbacks. Get the drop on 'em from behind in your sneak-o-matic Assault and actually win. Aye, I have no problem with giving HP stacking some sort of drawback. But I'd rather see the other modules made better than plainly nerfing HP modules. I can see why so many people stack HP. Compared to what you have to give up most other modules are hardly worth it. But, yea, it's easier to give a ridiculous penalty with possible unforseen consequences (i.e. strafe speed penalty hitting all minmatar suits much harder than anyone else) to HP modules instead of investing some time and effort into making the rest of the modules useful.

HP is most of the time the only thing that will save you if your enemy always knows your location. That said, I also don't think that we'd immediately see less people stacking HP if hiding from scans becomes easier. But at least we could make other playstyles more viable. --- Assault / Logi / Scout / Sentinel // @JebusMcKing G£î

Dual complex regulators on a CalScout! Fully expected to it be an overpowered death machine; man, was I disappointed. Tried every conceivable variation in my highs. All poop. In my humble opinion, there's much more utility to be found elsewhere. Kincats, damps, range extenders, plates ... all more useful than Regs to a CalScout. True. Regs are one of those modules which I think could need some love. Most of the time you are dead before your regen kicks in even if your delay is only ~1s, in which case plates would've been more useful. But if you stack lots of KingHP on your CalScout, to have some buffer, it can be quite fun to run 2x regs. But kin cats are probably a better choice after all. Which is why I am proposing this.

Jebus McKing Jebus Hates Scans 1095	Posted - 2014.11.27 11:12:00 - [24] - Quote To be honest I like that the cloak is becoming less and less effective during actual combat. From my point of view it should be a device to increase a scouts chance to cross open terrain, not a tool to easily overcome the shortcomings of shotguns, knives, and REs. (That's what speed should be for.) That said, if they further lower its usefulness during combat I think it would be nice to also reduce its fitting requirements.

Jebus McKing Jebus Hates Scans 1101	Posted - 2014.11.27 16:46:00 - [25] - Quote Question is, what is the intended role of the cloak? The only other game that I've played for a reasonable amount of time and that also has a cloak is Team Fortress 2. In that the Spy uses a cloak to get behind enemy lines and stab them in the back or destroy their sentry nests and teleporters. His primary weapon is a knife which kills everyone in one hit if he stabs them in the back. Thing is he only has an average movement speed, his health is super low, and his pistol is rather weak. And even in that game decloaking takes one or two seconds and you have a rather loud decloaking sound. Then there is the Scout who uses mobility to dodge enemy fire and cover enough ground to shoot people with a shotgun. In Dust it seems you have a class that is both. It is super fast, it has a cloak, it can overcome the downsides of most instakill weapons rather easily, and can see most enemies through walls while himself stay off of it. And I can assure you in TF2 both the Scout and Spy die MUCH quicker than they do in Dust. So, what is the role of the cloak? Personally, I think it should be a tool to get behind enemy lines, destroy equipment, hack stuff. Not a device that can be used to decloak mid-air and shoot people in the face with a shotgun like it used to be. That being said, I'd really like to see a cloak device variant which has no shimmer while moving, has a longer duration, but has a decloaking delay of ~5 seconds. // @JebusMcKing G£î

Jebus McKing Jebus Hates Scans 1150	Posted - 2014.12.02 16:05:00 - [31] - Quote I definately like the Assault profile buff. This will allow me to hide even from Gal Logi monster proto scanners if I so desire. But what I really don't understand is why I should need (or even EXPECT) to have a short range scan with the strength of a focused scanner, as an Assault. It does not make much sense to me. The problem is the "lvl5 precision assaults should be able to see lvl5 profile scouts in short range" and the "scouts should only be unscannable in medium and long range scans" design principles are causing so much trouble when you try to balance precision VS range, yet I don't understand why these even should be design priciples in the first place. WHY should a medium suit be able to see a scout suit in short range no matter what? Countering a scout =/= make them light up on radar. My experience is that most scouts really have a hard time when they don't see me on their radars anymore when I'm using my dampened assault suit. (And it works just fine as long as there is no Gal Logi scan monster.) Anyway, I think I fundamentally disagree with Rattati when he wants to make it so that there are scans that are not avoidable. It should really be the other way around. If you want to stay off of the radar you should be able to do so with the proper fitting, even as a medium suit. I've said it twice and I will say it again: Getting scanned should be a penalty for stacking HP, not the natural state of everything but scouts. EDIT: Oh. Hi, Rattati! You have been scanned

Scouts in short range have a 18 dB scan precision. Let that sink in for a bit. EVERY scout has this. NOBODY except other scouts can dodge our short range scans. Not even 4 damp assaults. 2.) Assaults may be able to scan you in 6m range, but nobody can possibly react that fast. Nobody has their eye on their radar 24/7, and It will still be easy to jump someone with knives as he is firing at someone or distracted. You can still pick them off one at a time. It WILL however, be hard to hang around an area with a lot of people. Run speed and damps people, you'll need it to survive. Never stop moving. 3.) Looking at all the new ranges, skills and whatnot, It's easy to see that the battlefield is going to be a LOT more interesting. Scouts can no longer scan assaults at range with base skills. People are REALLY going to have to start using your eyes more. Assaults WILL damp and WILL run precision. Everyone is basically getting an HP nerf as you are going to have to use eWAR to survive. 4.) Heavies and Commandos are going to feel a lot more vulnerable in exchange. With base skills, they will easily be picked up by scouts on long range scans. You will still see that heavy at 30m, and he won't see you at all in close scans. In short: Assaults are going to be a lot tougher to engage, but not impossible. Logistics will probably still be the greater threat, since they have a larger short range scan radius. Both will probably devote at LEAST one eWAR module per suit. Assaults will either run range or precision (Depending on their tank), and I bet you that Logistics will probably run at least two (Precision and range). In exchange, they make themselves EASIER TO DETECT. This means that our LONG RANGE scans can pick them up. Which allows us to avoid them, or maneuver around them. Ranged weapons will be more popular on scouts due to a difficulty in using CQC weapons. Once again, this is where you can start messing with peoples heads. Since shotguns will be rarer, what will happen in CQC? People will turn corners, expecting a rifle. Nova Knives. Dead. Once again, this is all theory, but I actually can't wait to see how this plays out. I will also finally be skilling into precision and range V, as I never had a reason to run them on my Min Scout before. Now all my suits can benefit from it. I guess it won't matter too much at ranges of <10m. What are the short range scans good for anyway? If someone is that close and you still haven't noticed him you will most likely be dead anyway before you have enough time to react. This. Dealing with groups in CQC will be much harder. Not sure about this. Scouts are definately gonna have a harder time because their scanrange got halved for Assaults. Logis, though they are getting a 67% scanrange increase, will actually have a medium scanrange that is less than what they have now (22.50 -> 18.75). Assaults will be able to see other Assaults and Logis sooner than now and will have no problems to pick up Heavies, so I could imagine that there is little incentive for Assaults to run precision mods because they can already see most other players and still won't be able to see properly dampened scouts in medium range. And I think I will still remain the only Assault that uses damps. The only ones that really are **** are Heavies because everybody will pick them up at 30m+. As a Minmatar Heavy who likes to put kincats on his suits to create the ultimate gank machine, I think it is save to say that my playstyle is dead. But I think I deserved it because speedy Minmatar Heavies have always been totally OP! I also predict that only very very few people will still run range amps. Less than 3m gained by using a complex range amp? LOL I would not bet money on scouts long range scans to be actually useful against mediums. You'd have to use precision mods and even then "long" range scans are only as good as scans are now, so not too much would change, I guess. I'm really looking forward to these changes, though I kinda doubt that many Assault will change their fittings because of it. After all, why run damps when you could have 200+ more HP instead and still be able to see all those other idiots who don't give a ** about dampening but now even from up to 30m away!

The visibility duration reduction won't help Sentinels too much. Plus I think that scans should be a tool to find people, have a rough** estimate of their location, and not a tool to easily outplay people because you can see their every step. You have been scanned

In high level engagements everyone uses the best gear anyway, and vets bringing superior gear to fight noobs in pubs only generates frustration.

That means every dropsuit is unique, not a copy of a parent, which means when 32 dropsuits are fighting, there may be 32 unique dropsuits on the field, taking up memory. The idea is to replace all colored variants with skin modules that look the same. That will allow us to "remove" dropsuit types from player inventories, and refund with modules and normal bpo's of the same type. No loss of utility or worth. Thereby improving memory, decreasing clutter in dropsuit fittings, and allowing players to use the skin module on adv and proto suits as well.

If you compare the MN Asslt to a GA Asslt's base stats: GA Asslt: 430ehp, 5m/s MN Asslt: 400ehp, 5.3m/s MN has +6% the movement speed and -7% the ehp compared to a GA. I think this is fine. Though, I admit that looking at the raw numbers it at first makes more sense to go with the +-30ehp /+- 0.2m/s method because this is how the relationship between GA and AM Asslt works: [ignore the stuff in square brackets for a second] GA Asslt: 430ehp, 5m/s AM Asslt: 460ehp, 4.8m/s (+30, -0.2) [+7%, -4%] MN Asslt: 400ehp, 5.2m/s* (-30, +0.2) [-7%, +4%]* But looking at the percentages you will realise that this would leave the MN Asslt with a bigger loss than what it gains compared to how it is at the moment: MN Asslt: 400ehp, 5.30m/s (-30, +0.3) [-7%, +6%] Also comparing the AM asslt with the MN asslt AM asslt: 460ehp, 4.8m/s MN asslt: 400ehp, 5.3m/s (-60, +0.5) [-13%, +10%] we see that the ehp bonus is considerable more than the speed bonus. If there is anything we can learn from this it is that the AM Asslt needs a speed nerf: AM Asslt: 460ehp, 4.7m/s* (+30, -0.3) [+7%, -6%]* The problem really seems to be with the AM scout. Though, looking at the scout stats alone, comparing a GA scout with the AM scout the AM scout has -4% the speed but also +15% the ehp of the GA scout. So the speed/ehp difference is much stronger in those than with the Asslt suits. GA scout: 200ehp, 5.45m/s AM scout: 230ehp, 5.25m/s (+30, -0.2) [+15%, -4%] MN scout: 170ehp, 5.65m/s (-30, +0.2) [-15%, +4%] AM scout: 230ehp, 5.25m/s MN scout: 170ehp, 5.65m/s (-60, +0.4) [-26%, +8%] The scouts use the +-30 / +-0.2 method and here we see the problem it causes as the bonus in speed is less than the ehp percentage the MN scout has to give up compared to the AM scout. From our own experience though it seems it is save to say that +0.1m/s is worth more than +15ehp as the MN scout seems to do fine compared to the AM scout. The only problem that arises with this conclusion is if it really is the additional speed or rather its role which makes MN scout somewhat more viable than the AM scout. Comparing the speed/ehp of Asslts to Scouts probably won't really give us any useful results in my opinion as there are more things differentiating Asslts from Scouts other than speed and ehp but I'll try it anyway so we can see if there are any obvious problems with this relationship. GA Asslt: 430ehp, 5m/s GA scout: 200ehp, 5.45m/s (-230, +0.45) [-53%, +9%] MN Asslt: 400ehp, 5.3m/s MN scout: 170ehp, 5.65m/s (-230, +0.35) [-57%, +7%] AM Asslt: 460ehp, 4.8m/s (+30, -0.2) AM scout: 230ehp, 5.25m/s (-230, +0.45) [-50%, +9%] The relationship between Scouts and their racial Asslt counterparts looks rather healthy to me. If there is anything remarkable then it is that the MN scout has to give up more ehp but receives less speed bonus in comparison, and the AM scout gives up the least ehp but still receives the same speed bonus than GA/CA scouts compared to their racial Asslt counterparts. Now lets compare the speed and ehp of racially not matching suits. AM Asslt: 460ehp, 4.8m/s (+30, -0.2) MN scout: 170ehp, 5.65m/s (-290, +0.85) [-63%, +18%] MN Asslt: 400ehp, 5.3m/s AM scout: 230ehp, 5.25m/s (-170, -0.05) [-42%, -1%] GA Asslt: 430ehp, 5m/s MN scout: 170ehp, 5.65m/s (-260, +0.65) [-60%, +13%] AM scout: 230ehp, 5.25m/s (-200, +0.25) [-57%, +5%] Now we seem to have found an issue. When comparing the AM scout to the MN asslt we see that the scout has less of both ehp and speed while at first glance the relationship between AM asslt and MN scout still seems to be more or less healthy, that is, if your criteria is that Scout speed should be > Asslt speed. If we compare the percentage points of of the differences between AM asslt and MN scout with the relationship between MN asslt and AM scout we see that the AM scout has 21 percentage points more ehp but also 19 percentage points less speed than the the MN scout compared to their racial opposite counterparts. - Now what do we make of that? - Hell, I don't know. Looking at the percentages and percentage points the AM scout seems to be rather decent and gives up less speed to gain more ehp compared to the other scouts. Though, which is in contrast to how we see the AM scout perform in-game. Switching the MN asslt's speed with the speed of the AM scout probably won't help the AM scout too much neither hurt the MN asslt, but at least it would please those who are of the opinion that Scout speed should be > than Asslt speed no matter what. In fact, looking at the base stats and bonuses the AM scout is closer to a fast Logi than to a Scout. And while I was typing this it came to my mind that this is also what we might want to consider the AM scout. In contrast to the other scouts the AM scout seems to not be meant to go roaming solo, killing stragglers, or even hunting other scouts. But more to stay with the group providing low range, high precision passive scans in which case a high movement speed isn't necessarily needed. Now, is that a viable role? I am not an AM scout so I have no clue, but considering that GA/CA scouts can easily avoid the AM scout's passive scans I somewhat question the usefulness of that role. The changes to passive scanning and also the removal of passive scanning while cloaked have probably hurt the AM scout more than any other suit. That being said, with max skills and 2x precision enhancers that thing still is a walking 30m 20db scanning monster. But changes to the AM scout's role are not the topic of this post, so I'll leave it at that. TL;DR AM scout seems more like a fast Logi so I don't see a problem in it being slower than MN asslt.

At least it would make sense since they added an overall metalevel stat to those new loadouts you can buy in the marketplace. So you should be able to i.e. combine a STD suit with a PRO weapon if the total metalevel fits. EDIT: Also, will this result in a couple of totally empty metalevel gamemodes as noone wants to go up against those proto squads? I'm curious how the ISK payments will work out. I really don't want to use the same ADV fittings as I already do and receive less money just because I'm tired of the proto squads.

Metalocks really only is CCP finally acknowledging that having tiers really only serves one purpose: making people who have been playing longer feel more powerful than noobs. In high level engagements tiers serve no purpose as usually everyone brings their best gear no matter what. And at the same time that kind of tiered gear only causes frustration on the low end. Basically everyone I have told about this game did not stick to it because they were getting their asses kicked by people in better gear. It's true, gear isn't everything. But if you are on the same level of gear you at least have the chance to get a lucky kill against a better player. It happens so many times that you are getting attack by someone in low level gear and even if they shoot you in the back you still have time to turn around and kill them solely because of the better gear.

Wasn't the case until Uprising. In Chromosome, newbros who outplayed vets killed vets. I believe HP Creep and changes to TTK are to the two major factors at play in this. I'm really not sure if this was the case because of stats or because of the fact that there were fewer people with fully specced core skills, proto everything, and prof V weapons. Maybe back then the 'middle class' was more populated than today. Today it seems most people are either vets or completely new. Would be really interesting to see some stats from back then and compare them to what we have now and try to get a grasp of why it seems matches in chromosome were better than they are now. In any case, even back then I was against having tiers working like they currently do. I always thought it was a bad idea to give vets access to straight up better gear with the only balancing factor being ISK.

The thing is, I rarely have the feeling that I need it to accomplish a certain task like I do with my other suits. There is nothing I can do with the Amarr scout that I couldn't do better with another one of my suits. The only time you can really make use of its bonus is when you fight another scout in CQC. And even then only if that other scout does not have enough dampeners on. But maybe I'm doing it wrong. Any tips on playing an Amarr scout? pé¿pâûpé¦pü»pé¦pé¡pâúpâ¦péÆs½îpüúpüªpüäpéïpÇé wwwwwwwwwww

Prox Scanner + single cPE is just as good as any of my Scout's passives. Dropped the 3rd damp for a Card Reg, so I'm now at 24 dB; figured if they're running GA Logi, I'll have to switch out for GA Scout anyway. The suit is very fast and has more than enough stamina; if it is less mobile than a Scout, it certainly didn't feel like it. Felt more like a Scout without cloak and twice the HP. All in all, the suit worked better than expected on "inside" maps (especially GA Research). It performed less well on the Pipe and Tabletop maps; died quite quickly when caught out of cover or taking focused fire. Did alternate between Shotgun and Breach AR when map was favored doing so (intend to try Burst and Vanilla AR tomorrow). Stuck with Breach SMG sidearm; don't much care for this SK9 on my squishy Scouts, but it seems to work well with Assaults. Verdict: Nice to have enough HP to not worry about by "insta-spin-and-win" when shotgunning Heavies. Will definitely keep and use, though probably more with an AR than the SG. The link goes to the AM Assault as well btw. Why not drop the damps entirely, go with 3x kincats and HP instead? I have a Minmatar Logi shotgun fitting. It has 3x kincats, 1x precision, rest is HP. I intended to use it for quickly dropping some uplinks but I noticed it is also reasonably useful at killing unsuspecting targets. Sure, its efficiency is reduced when there is a scanner around, but not as much as you might think and it is not as big of an issue if you, contrary to what you'd do as a scout, stick with a couple of people instead. Same with the MN Assault and shotguns. I found it is not so much about killing unsuspecting targets but to run into groups of enemies, cause some havoc, and get out as quickly as you can. Your HP will make sure you will survive until you are in range. pé¿pâûpé¦pü»pé¦pé¡pâúpâ¦péÆs½îpüúpüªpüäpéïpÇé wwwwwwwwwww

So I do not believe in reducing active scanner duration. On Scouts To quote Jebus, Active Scanners are not the counter to Scouts and Dampeners; Scouts and Dampeners are the counter to Active Scanners. I agreed with Jebus' sentiment 100% at the time and today over 9000% on account of Falloff. On Non-Scouts Our goal in buffing damps is to increase utilization of damps. In order to increase utilization, damps must become more appealing to units other than Scouts. Assuming a GalLogi is fielded (and they often are), what incentive is there for any unit other than a Scout to run damps? Yes, GalLogi scans are OP; but even if we reigned them in a 'bit, we'd still see low damp utilization rates among non-Scouts. And if you are still getting scanned by active scanners, than you need more dampeners. A proto GalLogi with a Proto Scanner can probably scan you if you don't have enough dampening. The binary nature of scanning is a bad thing. It forces people to either go full dampening or don't bother with it at all. There is no middle ground. There is absolutely no incentive to use damps on anything but Scouts because most of the time they don't give you enough of an advantage compared to other modules, most prominently HP modules. The problem with how damps currently work is that they become useless, as soon as there is a scanner around that is too powerful. With a GA Logi on the field, the entire enemy team gets the advantage of the all-seeing eye of that single GA Logi, rendering damps entirely useless if you can't completely hide from that scanner. And damps are the only module that work like that. They are the only module that can become completely useless if you don't stack a lot of them. One solution would be to buff dampeners, but this would further contribute to the binary nature of scanning, and we don't want that. But if dampeners reduced the scanned duration, scanning would become less powerful without rendering it useless, and maybe more people would consider using damps even if they can't hide from scanners completely. Dampeners would become more of a viable alternative to HP modules, especially for medium suits. Active scanners are the most overpowered piece of equipment in this game. They completely remove the ability to flank enemy positions in anything but scout suits by giving the whole team the exact locations of enemies and on top of that a nice little wallhack chevron above their heads so that the only thing you have to do is to wait until the enemy comes around the corner and shoot them in the head. And there has to be a viable counterplay to that for all suits, not just scouts, and that counterplay should not be stacking as many damps as you can to render scans useless. pé¿pâûpé¦pü»pé¦pé¡pâúpâ¦péÆs½îpüúpüªpüäpéïpÇé wwwwwwwwwww

As an aside, I've brought up GalLogi scan concerns with the Logi Community in Cross's thread. For the most part, they seem to think that "everything is fine". Many of them are under the impression that Scouts are still overperforming. Not making much headway. Also not sure if this is the audience we should be engaging. A conversation with Pokey, Cross or Demonsbane would perhaps prove more productive. There will never be a meaningful discussion about things like that because everyone is too focused on not losing their toys. Most people in the forums don't give **** about balance, all they do is to protect their own playstyle. Few people care or are even able to think outside of their own tiny, little box, unfortunately. And I seriously hope Rattati is not listening to the stupid whining of many of those people in the forums. That being said, of course the Logis will disagree with these changes, because it means they will get less WPs. The problem with the scanner is, it is way more powerful than the WPs for scanning suggest. Maybe we should increase the duration for intel assist points to last slightly longer than the actual scanned duration. Combined with the idea of damps reducing scanned duration this would result in less wallhacks but not in less WPs for the Logis. pé¿pâûpé¦pü»pé¦pé¡pâúpâ¦péÆs½îpüúpüªpüäpéïpÇé wwwwwwwwwww

"After making the Starter loadouts much better, we ran into the issue of PG/CPU capacity. The situation was tricky because Militia and Standard Basic Frames were not in parity, and we wanted to simplify fitting so that all starter fits had the same PG/CPU capacity. However, we also had an old issue we could fix at the same time, Basic Medium Frames have been underpowered for a while and the solution was simple. Massively increase and equalize all Basic Medium Frame capacity, make them worth skilling up to Prototype, and give Militia Dropsuits a reduced, fixed % of Standard capacity. So thatGÇÖs what we did. Coupled with the fact that we reduced the ISK cost of Basic Dropsuits in a recent hotfix, will hopefully make them viable choices for battle. To fine-tune the Starter loadouts, and increase parity of militia choices, we also made tweaks to the PG/CPU requirements of a few militia items as well." Are we witnessing the death of the Assault suit? Apparently Basic Medium Frames will get better CPU/PG than Assaults, or at least the MN BMF will. Spreadsheet Hotfix Echo Jebus hates scans.

They could do a bit of both but would be less effective than the specialized suits at either.

The whole point I thought was to have the racial. I feel like this is time wasted on something that doesn't really matter. To me basic frames are content that is there but so poorly implemented that no one uses it, which is kinda sad. By giving basic suits a niche we could easily expand on the variety of suits on the field, make things a bit more interesting, and have more content. And it wouldn't even take much time to implement those changes. Jebus hates scans.

I for one am kinda pissed off they're doing this, other wise I wouldn't have wasted the millions of SP to unlock Gallente Assault (which I run an ARR on...) and instead would've just specced the basic frame. Nope. Also, I have countless threads and requests for this, why the aggravation? IMO the problem is that Basic Medium Frames and Assaults are too similar. If you buff BMFs to a point where even a vet would begin to consider using them then people get mad because they could've saved the SP for the Assault suit and gone with the BMF instead. But if BMFs remain worse than Assaults then still no one will advise anyone to spend a million SP to go from lvl 3 to 5 in BMF. Basic Frames in general make people spend SP in something they don't really want to use. They want to use the Assault/Logi/Scout/Sentinel but are forced to spend thousands of SP for a suit they will rarely use and that is worse in everything a specialised suit could do. I think a lot of the bad feelings towards Basic Frames comes from that. So either Basic Frames get a role of their own or they will remain nothing more but an annoying obstacle on the way to the specialised suits. Jebus hates scans.

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? Basic Med Frames already have 1 less slot and 100hp less than Assaults. I think giving them a second EQ would be good to give them a small niche right in the middle between Assault and Logi. I have no idea what to do with Heavy and Light Basic Frames. I can't really think of a niche where they could fit in. Light frames being Light Assaults with additional slots in exchange for EQ? Dunno. Heavies with EQ AND heavy weapon slot sounds weird too. Plus, they already have less HP than Sentinels, no resistances, and one less slot would hit them very hard me thinks. But I think making all Basic suits 50% cheaper than their specialized variant makes sense. Currently only the proto variant has a 40% discount. But that alone won't make anyone consider using them. Like I said, if we want people to use Basic suits then they have to have a role. Same issue as with the AM Scout. Oh, btw, did you know that the AM Light Basic frame is faster than the AM Scout?

The suits are fine. But if people tell me that if we made Basic Mediums better then there would be no reason anymore to spec into Assaults doesn't that mean that there is an issue with the bonuses being viewed as not worth the SP?

I understand that Dust is about customization and what not, but why not leave it to basic frames for maximum customizability, and specialized frames to specialise in some areas (having suit bonuses, not an abundance of empty slots to stack whatever you want). I mean what's the point of assault having zilion slots if 90% of them fit tank and/or damage? They gave Assaults more slots when they were horribly underused. Prior to that they had the same amount of slots than Basic Mediums. I still think giving BMF another EQ slot alongside the CPU/PG buff in hotfix echo would put them in a really good position. Still worse at assaulting than Assaults and worse at being a Logibro than Logis, but at least they could do a bit of both -> becoming the unspecialized blend between Assault/Logi. They'd still have 1 high/low slot less than Assault/Logi and 100hp less base HP than Assault (60 more than Logi). It makes so much sense to me. But maybe something is wrong with me.

Jebus McKing Nos Nothi 1683	Posted - 2015.03.09 18:29:00 - [120] - Quote The problem is Basic MedFrames are absolutely useless and everyone hates them and wants to rather see them gone entirely than made viable. Everyone has to spec into them even though they don't want to use them and so the BMF level 4&5 only serves as a SP trap for people who don't have a clue that not everything you can spec into is actually worth it. Still, I have yet to hear a really viable point against making BMFs less useless. One point I hear the most is "oh if you make BMFs better then why would I want to use an Assault suit anymore?" BMFs are different from Assaults, a lot actually. They are clearly not just "Assaults without the bonus". Assaults still have 100 base HP more, they have 1 high/low slot more, they have a bonus to handling of a racial light and sidearm weapon and they have a bonus to fitting of light, sidearm weapons, and grenades. They are and would still be all around better at slaying than BMFs. Better damage, better fitting, better tank. Another one is "oh it will just be slayer logi 2.0". No, it won't. What made the slayer logis good was their f***ed up bonuses, native rep rate, and ability to use more and better modules than Assaults because Logis have more CPU/PG. But BMF have less fitting space than both Assault and Logis, no bonuses, and worse stats. Logis would still have more high/low slots, more EQ slots, better fitting capabilities, better bonuses to certain equipments. If you want to do Logi stuff they would still be the better choice. I guess even tanking a proto logi is easier than a proto BMF. Giving the BMFs an additional EQ slot will neither make Assaults useless, nor will it make running Logis less desireable. But with an additional EQ slot all of a sudden we have a nice little niche for BMFs. They are better at doing Logi stuff than Assaults and better at assaulting than Logis. Creating a middle ground between the two for people who haven't decided yet if they want to specialize into Assaults or Logis. The one thing I don't understand is all the hatred towards making BMF just slightly less useless. It is content that is just unused because it is not balanced right but instead of making it viable many people would prefer having less content. I just don't get it. Jebus hates scans.

It won't give you more damage if you replace your damage mod with the Krin's but it's definately cheaper and also should be lighter on CPU/PG.
