LT SHANKS Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 245	Posted - 2013.07.19 11:21:00 - [1] - Quote Hi everyone, after playing a Heavy for about half a year, I have decided to retire it and try something else. I just created a new alt to play as a Minmi assault, but I am unsure of what type of module load out to go with. Until I reach 4 mil or so SP, I will be running in the standard Assault M-1 whilst focusing on leveling my core skills. Thus far, my fitting includes: -Standard nanohive -Standard flux grenades -Standard Assault Rifle -Standard Scrambler Pistol I am unsure if I should run with three basic shield extenders for the high slots and a basic armor plate for the low, or if I should go for damage mods and a kincat. The self rep is great but I'm also curious to know if adding an armor repairer to the low slot will be more beneficial. Also, I'm wondering if armor plates will affect the M-1's greatest asset: its speed. If I do go for armor, would Reactive and Ferroscale plates be more useful than basic. Any help is much appreciated.

WWWWWHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ??? do people do this? Especially if you've "retired" your heavy (and thus won't be SP capping him separately), why don't you just cross train him instead for assault? So you don't have to train electronics, weapon upgrades, core skills, EVERYTHING.... ALL OVER AGAIN? AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Well, I SP cap rather fast. After work and on weekends, it takes me a roughly 3 days to reach the limit. By having an alternate account strictly for Assault, I can continue to play even after maxing out. As of now, my Heavy feels somewhat complete: until new weapons and racial suits are released, but it will stay strictly heavy oriented. What SP I gain on that account will be used for later investments. Cross training will be nothing but a waste of SP.

For PRO you'll have 5 High-Slots, definitely get a Shield Regulator for the 5th slot. I'm more of an aggressive type, so I focus more on shields. If you're more of a passive type get the Shield Regulator. Just my two cents. Best of luck to you. Alright, I'll see what I can work with. My M-1 fit so far includes: -3 Basic Shield Extenders -1 KinCat So far, it plays very much like a "hit and run" setup, but it does do well, even against ADV suited players. The sprint increase does help for quick escapes if I feel things are becoming too heated, but against properly geared players, the three basic shields don't hold up for too long. When I build up enough SP for my core skills and the ADV/Proto suit, I'll most likely run a similar fit: shield extenders and kincats.
