If we really want basic medium frames to be used at all then they have to have something the Assault suits don't have.

One idea I had was giving basic medium frames a second equipment slot -> make them an unspecialized blend between Assault and Logi.

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

Also, since CPU/PG is tough on BMF, give them a 1% or 2% per level bonus to CPU/PG to make them competitive.

But then also make sure the Assault bonus is worth it! (I think the MN and AM Assault bonuses are fine but the GA / CA bonuses could use some work, if you want to believe the general forum chatter.)

Why do they want basic medium frames to be competitive? The whole point I thought was to have the racial. I feel like this is time wasted on something that doesn't really matter.

I think I am going to take another break from playing the game, minus any corp times I am able to set up.

The only reason I even semi enjoyed myself was because I didn't care, and just flat out ran at people. Even then it wasn't that it was fun, just that it wasn't frustrating because I didn't care (I lost damn near 20 clones a couple games).

Today, I actually tried to survive, and just couldn't. Knifing is way too difficult to try and main on a Minja. If I dampen, I am super low HP and die really quickly. Even if I flank, there is usually someone that can see you, even while cloaked, and kill you unless they are so inaccurate they couldn't hit the broad side of the MCC from 10 m out.

I can't for the life of me understand how HP mods like armor can have such a low fitting cost but if you want to fit KinCats or CBs, you have to pay up the wazoo in CPU and PG, because apparently those mods are super OP and they wouldn't want my little Minja to get to 300 HP by being able to also fit Shields.

I really don't understand how people in PC are killing with Minjas, but I don't think it can be with NKs unless they are hacking.

And don't get me starting on that stupid clunky cloak delay glitch. Tired of running at people who saw me without having my knives, just because I tried to pull out my knives while evading in the wrong order. Because a 200 HP Minja is so OP with knives and so hard to kill that we should just be relegated to running without weaponry...

I'm new to dust and I'm a scout do i need to worry about kd per battle dieing 15 times per battle how do I stop dying?

But I see a lot of others saying "don't care if you die" or something related. I say they're wrong. Do care if you die. Not to the point where you get frustrated, but care enough to want to not die.

What I'm saying is try to survive. That should be a priority, know the limits of your hp and your speed. Know when to run and when to stay and shoot.

Changing scenery and servers might help.

Try getting into a squad w/ Jebus, Haerr or Summer if they happen to be on when you're on. l always enjoy running with these guys, and I think you'll find that euro matches to be a nice change of pace from ours, even if they're slightly laggy.

Also, if you're not doing it already, running in a smaller squad tends to be more fun; some of the best times I've had were in a 3-man squad with Jolly and Noob. If you prefer running in larger squads, try turning your coms off entirely. I personally find that this improves my performance. For some reason, it also keeps me in a good mood longer.

I don't find that disabling coms is necessary when running with most of the NN guys; Scouts tend to keep coms tactical ... and I love it.

Something to consider
Right now is the 5 million clone challengeGǪ it means that many many matches are filled with people running some hard fits and doing their best to kill everyoneGǪ This is not a good time to be a new player. You have not the SP for passive buffs to your suit and likely don't have the same survivability.

I hear you. A break can do you good. Try not to take things so hard. Min Scout wouldn't be the underdog if your experiences weren't the norm. It's always tough. Try to pick your battles more carefully. Personally, being un-squadded and off coms helps my concentration TREMENDOUSLY. I wish it weren't the case though..

Whatever you do, don't quit. Just keep fighting, kicking and screaming.

We will never die.

But it is massive nonetheless.

Just remembered this about Myofs. The skill gives and increase of I think 50% to the module at level 5.
So that 25% increase at proto may very well end up as 37.5%

Aren't we talking about jump height? Jump distance is mostly irrelevant I think

Aero asked the same question, so I did some more research:

TL;DR: Jump Distance and Jump Height are both determined by velocity.

Well I mean, even assuming that physics are the same in Dust as they are in real life (which is a huge assumption), this scenario is only taking into account jumps that are happening off a slope

I mean, just think about inertia IRL vs Dust.

The buff to basic mediums my be the first part of the buff to Assaults in general.

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.
