here's an example

duvolle
core flaylock
locus grenade

3 complex damage mods [2 is enough...]

3 complex armor plates
1 basic armor repairer

1 compact nanohive.

need every cpu reduction and boosting skill at 5 to fit that. flaylocks the lowest req sidearm in the game.. and it doesnt even have an advanced nade??

it really limits the suits already weak tank if you intend to have a sidearm or grenade.

anyone else notice this?

I feel like CPU across the board needs to be buffed, i'm forced to run complex CPU mods in every caldari assault suit i have

Why is it people want to be able to fit everything while compromising nothing?

Risk vs reward

You really don't want this game to have any risk involved at all, do you.

Play to the suit's strengths, instead of trying to make another god-mode suit. The militia Gallente alone has 3 lot slots. Configure it with that in mind, instead of whining to CCP that it doesn't have 1000 PG and 2500 CPU.

My militia Gallente has near 350 armor, and the only skill I have is dropsuit armor 5. Two militia plates take care of the rest.

and a caldari logi has no fitting issues with geting to HP levels of a sentinal without the mobility issues.

Its called balance, no amount of masochists saying adapt or die will change how stupid and unbalanced it is.

If ccp doesn't balance it, long term everyone with a brain will go cal logi, and let the adapt or die idiots use gimped suits with a fraction of the hp.

should be able to fit proto everything in a protosuit IMO

Because it doesn't make a lot of sense to be in the best suit in the game that can't run all of the best equipment. both my PG and CPU skills are at 5, too and it's still NOT EVEN CLOSE.

maybe just maybe
you should train your core skills
oh oh and then look at the racial bonus for gallente assault
oh does that put a reduction on things?
yes it does bro.
almost forgot assault rifle optimization
also light weapon skill

CPU modules, and CPU upgrade skills... seems to be what CCP is trying to encourage us to use alot more, but with some suits finding the right balance is a mission impossible, specially the scout suits.

There's your problem.


Oh, and stay away from CQC with those plates.

assault suit bonus lvl5 25% reduction to pg/cpu to hybrid weaponry

dropsuit engineering & electronics lvl5 25% bonus to each pg/cpu

core upgrade lvl5 5% to pg/cpu

light weapon operation lvl5 15% cpu

assault rifle fitting optimization lvl5 25% reduction to pg

same goes for the sidearm operation and optimizaton

i dont believe your skilled into lvl5 of all these skills

theres also explosives lvl5 that brings a reduction

so maybe you should grind a bit more boost a bit more and skill a bit more

then come back

It makes no sense that any suit would relieve from the burden of having to make a choice.

You made me lol, thank you.

what would you go with?

Good thing I went with winmatar.

LOL Even I can answer that. I'll take "Don't go for armor tank" for $400, Alex.

lol @ these kiddies thinking they know what they're talking about

the only proto stuff I can't fit is a proto nanohive, SO MUCH RISK VS REWARD RITE GAIS? my 4 complex shield extenders duvolle, core flaylock, 2x proto shield regs, proto cpu upgrade and core locus grenades all fit just fine, but no amount of passive skills will let me fit proto hives too, which is probably an oversight on CCPs part.

Or you have to sacrifice something to fit ur proto nanohives

yes, the choice between an advanced quantum nanohive and an ishokune gauged nanohive is such a big risk/reward that causes me to die every game, right?

ignorant kids make me lol

i wasn't asking you.

Lack of cpu I always thought the power grid is what Gallente lacked.

protosuit with level 5 passives to CPU and PG upgrades/reductions should be able to fit proto gear across the board, i have 14m invested into the assault class
it's literally ONE power grid that's causing an issue here, CCP obviously was slightly off in their suit balancing.

CCP's oversight on being 1 power grid short despite having every PG reduction/boost skill at level 5

if your using ar get the fitting thing to lvl 3

You're complaining you can't fit one prototype piece of gear?

Go back to Call of Duty, there aren't any fitting requirements there.

Lol that's really it, this is because your OCD and you can't stand not seeing all proto in your fit?

Not OCD, i just want a full proto fit, is that too much to ask?

yep

ya well too bad, full proto suit when i run dual flaylocks

it is, even if i boost it to 5 i'll be 1 PG short

this includes dropsuit core upgrades 5 too


if you were a remotely decent player this might offend me, but it really doesn't. haven't played CoD since MW2

@rifter lol sorry bro, i think we can both agree CCP needs to boost PG and CPU on assault dropsuits across the board, like 2-3 more PG and 30 more CPU should make everyone happy and able to fit what they want when they reach necessary skills

i just came here wondering if the cpu was to low and now i got everyone trading blows, some kid telling me to train my lvl 5 skills to 5 and some other guy that wheres his HTFU tshirt to bible camp... like what the **** this forums drama haha.

I certainly don't think you should be able to equip everything you want just because it's a prototype but the proto suits could use more PG and CPU, that goes without saying.

no logic allowed on dust forums, only drama

i agree CPU is a bit low across all suits, most other people with similar SP probably will too

Heaven forbid there should be limits on what you can put on your suit. Why, balance isn't allowed.

How do you think those fresh out the academy feel when they killed by two rounds from your Duvolle?

but the only difference is a proto hive vs an advanced hive, and what's stopping me is ONE power grid... is that really going to break the game that much?

@sleepy np bro i do what i can

what would you go with?

I'm waiting for the new plates.

As amarr I don't need to use CPU extenders to get my optimal fit :).
