Arguments could be made that the value of a plate on a Scout far outweighs the value of a Dampener or Precision Enhancer on a Heavy. While a Scout is readily able to double his HP, is a Heavy ever able to half his Scan Profile?

2 complex damps+max sills gets you damn close at 31.7 out of 60. Scouts need 2 (Gallente anyway) complex plates to double his base hp. Now granted, that second one will put you a bit over the x2 hp. But it's close than you think. If scouts shouldn't get as much benefit from using plates because they shouldn't have health and the other frames should, why should heavy's get a [i]greater[/] profile (in hard numbers) reduction than a scout does when using a module in the domain of the scout?

Random thought: What if hp mods had stacking penalties?

why is that not safe in public?

To be honest, I'd be happy lengthening the switch of all weapons.
Insta-switch? Really? C'mon. Shorter than a reload sure, but not instant.

That's just a pile of Class A Narcotic Bullshit.

Hey it was always me and Monk, I am just more or less absent or active on the forums depending on how close I am to deadlines and assignments and weather and stuff. Lately though I have spent a lot of time on Dust :-)

Btw since the CPM has taken an interest in the mouse support of Dust I have been a lot more interested than before.
(Based on this alone I predict that next they'll do full racial parity (vehicles) and player market, I am sure )

Here's to a year of doing what we do.
And having a damn good time doing it.

You'd need to have "junk" to worry

Is this the "Shotty Toast"?

Idea 1: Having an Active Cloak reduces your Scan Range.
Respons to Idea 1: What about Uplink duty and Hacking?

Idea 2: Having an Active Cloak makes your Scan Precision worse. (So you can still spot uplinks but not players.)

Idea 3: Having an Active Cloak reduces your movement speed. (Making it more difficult to Shotgun or Knife while cloaked)

... maybe you can tweak everyone's strafe speed a bit?

FTFY

The breach shotgun is in need of some love, I feel.

The worst weapon in the game, surely not?

Hmm why does the Scout gk.0 have "strafeSpeedScale: 1.1" while the Assault gk.0 has "strafeSpeedScale: 1.0"? NWM that was for crouching. But... maybe you can tweak everyone's strafe speed a bit? Just for ***** and giggles of course.

I have to say
You and the team have done an incredible job working out some real balance to weapons. It is actually not easy to spot what the worst weapon in the game is.
I am sure if you asked you would get many different answers.
I'd still say the Breach FlaylockGǪ only because the missile speed needs a slight tweak up. currently you can't get the second shot off until a little after the first one explodes. This invalidates the small clip size, lowers the benefit of Rapid Reload, and because it does not OHK leaves you very exposed after that shot.

Edit: Or you could add an ADV and Poto BreachGǪ and I would be happyGǪ I know it's not all about meGǪ so let's frame this differently.

Of course if you are adding in the Tiers to Breach Flaylock the problems mentioned are simply negated by scaling damage across the TiersGǪ and job well done. When can we expect that Core Breach Flaylock

The worst weapon in the game, surely not?

What actually is the worst weapon in the game, statistically?
I suspect the breach shotgun is a contender.

If we count grenades I imagine the grand prize would go to sleek locus grenades.

Real SoTa? Methinks imposter. Too helpful to be a Real SoTa.
