You talking base or with mods? Honestly 30% seems extreme. Some slight buffs to the plates & very small buffs to reppers and that's really close (tweaks to shields and module layouts also would help.)

Why do you need a resistance (meaning hp buff) to explosives, they only do an extra 20%? Laser weapons do the same amount to shields do they get an extra 20% to compensate? I know explosives have the splash, and this REALLY needs changed for the FP, but lasers have the extreme range that seems like a tradeoff.

Nope, it was tested, CCP have wrong numbers.
They do 70/135 %. (70% to shields and 135% to armor, incomparison to 120/80 of shield weaponry.)

Give Gallente suits inherent 3-5hp/s armor regen + add 0.1 m/s to all suits. (To stay true with EVE. In EVE Gallente are the second fastest after Minmatar to compensate for armor penalties)

So new speed is:
5.1m/s walking
7.1m/s sprinting

I've personally preferred the idea of a bonus to existing gear, but this isn't a bad suggestion. It would help quite a bit toward making the Gallente suits more competitive.

The problem is that all suits have something going for them in base stats.
The Gallente have either the same or worse on everything against the Caldari, no upside, only downsides.

Oh I'm with you on that. I'm just a little leery about the idea of giving a repair rate to the suit itself with no modules.

I like the concept, but I can imagine that we'd have people bitching about it only a few days after implementation.

Then again, people just like to *****, so what the heck.

Well, I don't think it's in question that Gallente assault is the most underpowered medium frame suit right now.
They can ***** all they want, but we have nothing going for us.
Regeneration is a trait of Gallente from EVE, so I think it fits.

I agree. Just seems like they've been trying to keep toward gear bonuses rather than specific suit traits with the more recent releases.

Personally, I think it's a neat idea.

I might even use one if they actually put some ammo pouches on the damn thing. I suppose it stores extra mags in its bum?

lol


Well, considering basic frames have no bonuses, if they compensate for Gal Assault sucking by using bonuses, we will be gimped until Gal Assault V, and Basic frames will be in a bad position.

Amarr suits are the dual tankers of Dust.
So no, they don't.

Also, look at the thread I linked, they already have the highest base eHP + have the highest CPU/PG, they have the highest potential eHP than any other suit thanks for the base eHP and that ability to fit more prototype stuff.

And the slowest,
And the worst assault bonus that only affects 2 weapons. >..>

you point being?

Still +1 ,why not, buff gallante.

Yeah, your bonus sucks, but the suit itself is damn fine.

sure, but as the CALDARI LOGI showed us, The bonus is -+ of the reason for choosing a path.
If you are NOT going to use laser rifles or srambler rifles, AKA 2 weapons that require skill, then your suit is pointless.

The suit is 100% fine yes.
But it works at 100% with only 2 weapons.
And if not, its a 50% effectiveness suit.
Just an observation.

But the point is here about suits, not bonuses. The Gallente assault bonus is freakin' trash as well, 5% reduction to hybrid weapon's fitting requirements. That's about 1.5 PG reduction and 10 CPU reduction on a GEK-38, it might be okay for the Duvolle but what are you gonna fit that will help you with that small CPU/PG bonus.

Gallente got the shaft big time, and it's only after such a long time of people getting into higher tiers that we can see just how shafted we are.

Edit: And if I'm not mistaken the Gallente suit bonus only affects AR's and sniper rifles.

Amarr suits are the dual tankers of Dust.
So no, they don't.
