As seen in the recent pilot suit fiacso, the bonus structures are confusing.
As seen in this photo Interwebs link
Quote:Pilot Suit bonus: Y to some statistic
Racial Pilot bonus: X to whatever statistic
This is mirrored in Assault and logistic suits.
This is confusing because the skill names that these bonuses are based on, are different.
Pilot suits require Racial light suits trained to level 3, and the pilot suits trained to level 1.
Thus it should be changed to:
Quote:
Pilot Suit Skill bonus: Y to some statistic
Racial light suit Skill bonus: X to whatever statistic.
This clearly indicates that the first bonus is based on your level of pilot suit, and the second bonus is determined by your level of racial light suit.
Small changes, that take little time, but have a large effect on players lives, particularly new ones. |

I've been playing for 2 months and I still have no earthly idea which skills the bonuses are based on. Is the bottom skill based off the light/medium/heavy frame skill and the top based on the assault/logi/scout/pilot skill?
If this is the case, BOTH lines need to specify race in their text, ie one needs to be "gallente pilot" and "gallente light" |

I believe, the bottom bonus is the bonus based off the role. E.g. assault suits. The top bonus being based off the frame, e.g. Gallente light.
I haven't verified if the role functions the same as it does in EVE, I.e. Assault suit skills aren't race specific, and are trained once, and are then applied to each race. So being you can train Amarr mediums to 3, train assault suits to 4, then train Caldari mediums to 3 and have a level 4 Caldari Assault suit. If so, then the following would make sense:
Quote:
Assault Suit bonus: Y to some statistic
Amarr Medium Suit bonus: X to whatever statistic
If, in fact, it turns out they don't share role specific skills, then it makes more sense to structure the bonuses both as race specific.

Amarr Assault Suit bonus: Y to some statistic
Amarr Medium Suit bonus: X to whatever statistic

The top bonus is a bonus to all assaults/logis/etc.
The bottom bonus is a bonus to the racial variant of that suit (gal assault/cal logi).
They are there to help push suits to different specializations.
For example
Gal Scout has the bonuses
Scout Suit Bonus: 5% reduction to scan profile per level
Gallente Scout Bonus: +10% to dropsuit scan radius per level
while the Minmatar Scout has
Scout Suit Bonus: 5% reduction to scan profile per level
Gallente Scout Bonus: +5% to melee and nova knife damage per level
The scout suit bonus is supposed to aid scouts in stealthy endeavors while the gal scouts racial bonus pushes it to be a stealth cqc fighter/infiltrator and the Min scout's bonus pushes it to be a melee fighter. |

I understand. The actual mechanics and bonuses make sense, the language and terminology does not.
Scout suit bonus and gallente scout bonus, do not clearly identify what skills they use to determine your bonus level. |
