Also, anyone notice how logis lost ZERO fitting capability? You know so that they can still fit....anything they want to? And including ....a cloak..... or as appia suggested. Everything eWAR under the sun.

pretty ******.....

I would like to add that at this stage, we have not rebalanced the slots and PG/CPU for the medium frames yet, and it doesn't look like we'll be able to get it into 1.8. Expect those changes to come at a later date.

Logistics just got a buff.+5m to scan range and -5 to Scan Precision. They now have the same Scan Precision as Scouts. My Gallente Logistics suit is now better at finding Scouts than my Gallente Scout.
3 complex precision enhancers, 3 complex range amplifiers 2 complex armor plates. 700 total HP, Scan Radius of around 60 meters and a scan precision of 23 and change, more than likely rounded up to 24dB *Appia walks away from the computer to rage about how her Gal-Logi is a better scout and her Gal-Scout*

They lost zero fittings? They have the same CPU and PG as 1.7?

I can't really be arsed to look at all the stats but if that is the case, it's horrendous. They get fittings bonuses to all equipment (bar cloaks) and they already have so much fittings capability as it is, so if this is true, they'll be able to fit pretty much anything they want. We're talking all complex mods, proto weapon and equipment with probably even enough left over to run a cloak!

I really hope this isn't true.

Edit - Oh dear CCP, oh dear...

I agree with Haerr,
Just to throw something in on the liar component though Mollerz.
(Sorry Appia, I am not saying that this is your reality)
Biological Sex is different from gender
Your gender can be different from your biological sex (transgender)
Sexual orientation is separate from both (but related)
Your biological sex can be different from your gender identity and you can be attracted to people of the same gender and/or sex.

People do identify as different genders and are straight, gay, or even not sexually attracted to anyone at all.
I never worry about the realities that people present in this context. They are who the feel they are.
Appia may or may not be lying about who she is and it really does not make any difference.

The opinions she expresses, the way she expresses them, her thoughts she shares, these are what makes Appia who she is.

Rule of thumb: When sending a GG to someone you don't know or don't know well, "GG" in the subject with a blank body is taken as gloating in a lot of the vet community. "GG" in the subject and a short little sentence like "nice kill at [location]" "that was a close match :)" or something like that adds sincerity.

MagsecGǪ looks neat
Going Ion Pistol on this account though.

I'm super bummed the flaylock got no love whatsoever.

I am thinking MD + knives might be a fun combo.

Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to redo the slots and PG/CPU for all the medium frames in Uprising 1.8. Expect those changes to come in a future update.

This is an official request for Mathppia, or Haerrithmatic
On the new totals for Damage mods and efficacy.
(Drift, Mr. Registry, Oswald and also Quill feel free to shoot out numbers as well, I just could not think of math related nicknames for you)

You Bastards amaze me when it comes to conflict resolution. Consistently.

I was going to say something along the lines of "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!", but then I realized that I have resolved any conflict here.

Carry on.

The label of Bastard applies to Scouts.
On this count, you needn't concern yourself :-)

You just had to go there didn't you.

Aren't you supposed to be babysitting me? WHY ARE YOU TEACHING ME THESE FOUL WORDS?!

The effect of TTK is why scouts have traditionally gravitate towards Alpha Damage weapons.
This is why changing the SG proficiency concerns me (if this is in fact changing and not a typo/oversight in the Devblog)
Going from speed change to higher Shield damage seems to be counterproductive to scouts.

Edit: I mentioned the SG in a post Please remain calm

**** you Llast. Mention SGs again and I'll **** your ***** until ****** is ******* to ****** my ******* ******* ***** hamburger meat..

Wow, some interesting changes in the dev blog.

Some quick thoughts...

The CR gets extra nerfed on top of the damage reduction due to limitations on ammo. It's going to take more than a clip to down a heavy, and without skill investment you can only carry 6 clips.

Reduction in grenades carried directly effects AV capability.

Proto damage mods are no longer worth stacking past 2 units, which is a reasonable change, and appear to affect both shields and armor equally, which increases their perceived usefulness due to the changes to the proficiency skill.

However, if PG/CPU don't change along with them, proto mods take a substantial hit in usability. Three standard damage mods give almost the same damage enhancement as 2 proto mods, while costing as much PG/CPU as one proto module.

TTK changes from this will be almost inconsequential to scouts. Will still take about a 1/3 of a clip from a CR to down a standard (300EHP) scout, which can be done in less than half a second. But it's going to be much more difficult for scouts to output enough alpha damage to kill medium or heavy targets quickly enough to avoid being mowed down.

LR might actually be worth a try if the other rifle changes have gone too far, along with the mass driver.

Nova Knife is the best overall weapon in regards to the skill changes, as proficiency continues to applies directly, and the knives themselves have a balanced damage profile.

If there's a respec, I have no idea what I'm doing anymore...might be running my scrambler pistol/NK fit as my main...
