Agreed, pretty sure they just missed s decimal point, 3.95 M/s, which would translate to 8.835 mph

"Ground Speed: 395"

If this is in MPH, then this Heavy suit is faster than most sports cars! To heck with the two light weapons, just run at your foes and mow them over! The murder taxi just got a little brother!



But in all seriousness, this is probably just a typo. But in that case, I would actually like to thank CCP, it looks like they were trying so hard to get this dev blog out to us that in their panic they forgot to proof :P

Thanks for your haste CCP, we appreciate it

God i hope that typo ends up in the code.

would be the funniest couple of weeks before they patch it in the history of video games.

"what the hell was that?"

"I don't know but my ass sure hurts."

It's in meters per minute of course

At 395 m/m the Amarr Commando suit moves faster than a golf cart.

i think they meant to add meters per minute which translates into 6.6M/s which is just under the Amarr assault sprint speed(6.7). because no other suit shows speed with hundredths of M/s so its not a decimal point. its a sprint speed for meters per minute.

I hope this suit rocks.

It doesn't

:/

I'm sure a couple talented players will beast with it somehow.....I'll stick with my basic heavies tyvm.

I might, maybe, try Sentinals at some point, but...yea, I'm set

I'll stick to my basic Heavies as well: just waiting on the Minmitar variant. By the way, is there any benefits to skilling into Sentinel suits.

10% faster reload speed if you max the skill out, but otherwise, no.

The heavy Commando dropsuit is less durable than the Sentinel but is faster and more agile, allowing you to better engage and disengage from firefights. ItGÇÖs also currently the only heavy frame to feature an equipment slot. But this flexibility comes at the price of losing a grenade slot and sporting very few module slots (none at the Standard tier, in fact).

It really won't though, its MAX hp is around where an assault/logi (commando proto = 835 MAX with ferroscale why lose your speed bonus...) is plus it slower and has a larger hitbox. The basic amarr heavy frame with stamina mods will be more effective at what the commando proto is trying to accomplish, especially with the introduction of ferroscale plates as well. Base Amarr heavy frame gets base 1012 hp. Basic amarr can equip. damage mods, catalyzers, flux grenades, scrambler pistol, AR of choice (mix and match however you want ie SCR/SMG/AV nades) = more tank and more gank than a commando plus increased speed AND Stamina (if you equip catalyzers).

STD commando breakdown vs Sentnel
(assuming tanked sentinel with skills)
additions:
.3 km/h speed
upgraded sidearm slot (not two light weapons because heavys slots can fit light weapons)
equipment slot


losses:
694 ehp (more if new plates equipped instead of complex to save speed "boost")
3 module slots
heavy weapons slot
race bonus because no modules
grenade slot
14 PG
68 CPU

no change:
heavy's large hitbox
turn speed (as far as the dev blog describes no increase here [agility could very well just describe running])
