I'll still give it a try, the two light weapons thing looks cool... But i bet you anything is going to come with lost of CPU penalties, or mobility and speed restrictions. So.. we should see. |

On paper, it looks underpowered. In practice, well, nobody (even CCP) knows.
Also, the suit is worthless to heavies. Once again, heavies get the short end of the stick. Well, that's a lie. They don't even get that. |

Look at the Dev Blog starting page 3, I could be way wrong in actual use but I doubt it. Paper stats are there and suit looks horrible. The other two suits almost outperform in every stat in its "niche" role. |

Problem is "Amarr suits" are gimped in module use but make up for it in total HP. Other racial Commando suits will see 1 extra module slot, I reckon. |

This suit is probably going to tick me off as the first three weeks of it coming out everyone and their mother will use it and pack an AR/Something and a Swarm Launcher/AV-wep.
Then it will quiet down and I'll be happy. |

Too slow and severely limited fitting potentials. Don't know anyone that finds it attractive. |

It's a really interesting idea, but it comes pre-nerfed. It should have had reduced base HP or fewer module slots to balance it, but not both methinks.
Even if if it looked amazing: the suit is going to be used by current Assault players first, and current Heavy players much later. It takes much less SP to train into a new suit than it does to train into two different light weapons plus equipment.
I think CCP honestly believes they are throwing us Heavy players a bone. Sadly, their aim is off and it's going to land in the other dog's kennel. |

It's probably a safe bet to park the HAVs for a week or 2 and snipe the fatties. |

Im considering getting atleast the STD. It just depends on if I can fit 2x ELM Lasers on it.
I will be able to just swap lasers when 1 over heats instead of taking my beam off a target waiting for it to cool off. Im thinking you could get 4x cycles of lasering out there before having to duck back into cover and reload. Most enemies dont die in a single cycle. having a bit of extra time out there, even with a cold laser should net a few more kills.
Im sure there will be some specific situations were the suit will be OP. |

It is a scrub suit which will be flocked to by all the scrubs wanting to fit a second AR. I haven't looked at the stats that I know have been floating around, but I'm willing to bet it will die just as easily (if not moreso) to being shot in the face as the Heavies do. |

This is very true, it's a fatsuit for the skinnies, not a fatsuit for the fatties. |

The people complaining that this is heavy suit that assault players will use are absolutely correct, and my source is that I run Amarr Assault and am considering getting this suit for an ASR/Swarm combo.
The only think I'm confused about is CCP's line of thought with the Amarr racial bonus. Effectiveness of armor/shield mods on a suit that not only sacrifices mod slots but on a race that always has the least mod slots as well. CCP you make no sense. |

Not only that but they thought to release a whole new suit archetype before they even had the basic ones for all races down pat..... |

It's simple to figure out why they did it, honestly. It's low hanging fruit.
No new art assets, and it doesn't require fidgeting with programming of anything else in the game like the Flight Suit would. It was cooked and ready to be served, so they served it.
I'm fine with that, honestly. I'm glad CCP added it and I don't want to complain too bitterly about the suit. It's a very interesting idea that just needs more balancing since it's coming pre-nerfed.
But I'm gonna b-slap the first person with a blue tag who's narrow-minded enough to post: "Why are Heavies still complaining about content? We gave you guys Commando." |
