Every pr0 knows not to put on 5 Shield Extenders on a Caldari Logistics due to the very long shield recharge delay tied with it. So they'll instead throw in an Energized Shield Recharger to give about 30 hp/s with about 550 shield strength. Now here's the thing, an Assault can get this amount of shield and shield recharge rate with 4 Shield Extenders, except now you are better at close quarters combat with an SMG as a sidearm and faster movement speed.


However I do believe that the reload speed bonus that the Caldari Assault get should be reversed to the shield bonus that the Logistics variant owns at the moment. I have a couple of reasons for this:

1. Caldari Assaults can simply switch to a sidearm rather than reloading in CQC proving the reload speed bonus to be useless
2. Caldari Logistics can't switch to another weapon which is why the reload speed bonus might be useful
3. Caldari Assaults are meant to breach enemy territory so therefore must take a tiny bit more punishment
4. The Caldari Logistics get crippled in a way with too much shield, paired with such low shield recharge rate this is why it's bonus must go to the assault variant

This actually seems to be a feedback request to have the Shield Recharge and the Shield extension bonuses interchanged, more than a "Assault > Logi" thread. I'm a bit confused.

To be honest I would support this idea, it would fix the Cal Logi Shield Overtanking problem while (IMO) it would benefit the Assault variant.

Because from my personal experience Caldari Assault is not that good. Especially when compared to Caldari Logi on Prototype level.

Right now Caldari Assault is not that superior to the Basic Medium Frame version...

What is the detrimental effect of having a ton of shields? Your saying because you have to wait longer to reach your max HP, this is somehow a weakness and it's crippling you? So, when you surpass a shield strength of every other suit on the field, because you are STILL recharging, you're somehow at a disadvantage?

I see how a faster recharge would be useful, but I utterly fail to see how having a ton of shields is crippling you.

He has it tough, man. When he takes so much fire that any other mortal would buckle and break he doesn't die... but he has to spend almost twenty seconds recovering.

Before we make the already amazing Caldari suits any better how about we, I don't know, make the Gallente Assault actually get benefits to armour tanking?

And this thread really highlights the common CalLogi mentality. Completely overlooks the fact it's supposed to be a Logistics suit. Nope, let's not consider what it brings to the table as a Logi, the only thing that matters is how it slays.

The tank thing I made up was a simile, but anyway do you ever try recalling your HAV rather than waiting to regain full shields ^ ^, this is the new way to passively shield tank HAVs.

I am a Caldari Logistics by the way and I do feel a tiny bit of regret going into it, to be honest one of my main reason of going into it was because it looked BA but now that the neo assault is here.. yea

Wow, just whoa ...did you just fell on your head and kept on bouncing?

So your saying if i would have 1000 Shields & 1000 Armor, i would be crippled beyond belief and after taking out idontknowhowmany i could kill in that 2000 ehp timeframe somehow recovering that health puts me at an disadvantage.

I ...i never really looked at it like that.

Well Daym man ...i wanna be disadvantaged from now on!!

I suggest you go play a scout, they have almost no Health, but recover it in a split second, no more disadvantage for you, because yer shields will always be full!!!
