Anyone complaining about the change to the caldari assault is an idiot. With the increase you actually get 80 shields per extender (remember you get a 10% boost to shields from extender bonus plus the racial bonus on top of that).
Also the reload speed was almost nonexistent....really 10% faster reload speed and you miss that? This equates to 3/10ths of a second difference in reload speed. Are you that bad with math that you cant figure out this is a waste of SP. Since when does 3/10ths of a second mean the difference between life and death in this game? Try never. Never will you see the 3/10s of a second coming into play in CQC when you are reloading.....your reaction time is not fast enough to take advantage of this super small difference. You never actually saw anything worthwhile with the reload bonus.....now the caldari assault has the best racial bonus for the assault suits. Basically the difference is about 1 shot. 1 shot difference is alot larger than a 3/10s a second less reload time. Especially if your smart and you know about the reload cancel that grants you a full clip and cuts the reload time down by about .5 - .75 seconds (or possible slightly more).
Honestly at least the caldari suit has a decent bonus compared to the rest of the suits. Caldari>Gallente=Amarr>>>> minmatar
Currently if you want to complain about a racial bonus minmatar gets the worst bonus period. If you waste space on the minmatar suit by placing a sidearm on it then your using it wrong (unless you only use sidearms period). |

Didn't notice that much of a difference. 10% to shield extension however, sounds yumm Reload bonus skill definitely worked. While guarding the MCC from intruders I timed the length of my reloads until I ran out of ammo. Either it worked or the AR specific reload skill works better than stated in the skill description.
Yea the reload bonus skill is 15% for the specific skill.....it was only 10% for the caldari bonus. Basically all added together you were reloading barely faster than the scrambler rifle standard reload speed. BTW if you know about the reload cancel the reload bonus becomes almost completely worthless. |

Caldari assault only has 4 high slots. So its half way between a standard and an enhanced extender. |

Because the caldari assault to five, 10% bonus, Shield extenders to five, 10% bonus
Stop complaining it's fine
Well honestly your partially right....in your model the number would round down...but it actually rounds up. This is because you dont add the percentages together they are taken separately. So it would be 66 * 1.10 * 1.10 = 79.8 which rounds up to 80. |

If you use a sidearm on the minmatar then you are giving up a low slot or nades or equipment. |

If you use a sidearm on the minmatar then you are giving up a low slot or nades or equipment. I actually plan on running two sidearms when either the MagSec SMG comes out, or I max out the Scrambler Pistol. Also, I only every use teir 1 Flux and teir 2 AV grenades, I never use locus so my fitting requirements aren't that high. Trust me, as long as the MagSec isn't insanely hard to fit, I'll be fine.
Like i said if you dont use any light weaponry then having a sidearm makes sense. But you are waisting space on your suit if you have both a light weapon and a sidearm on the minmatar as there is not enough fitting left on the suit to fill out your other slots. |

Sheesh at least you have to call this a change....because its definitely not a nerf of the caldari assault suit. If anything its actually a buff....but whether you agree with that or not you cant argue that it was a change...not a nerf just a change. A nerf would make the caldari suit much worse than what it was before. You might have liked that racial bonus before but changing the bonus to work with only a couple weapons and making it work for virtually everyone is definitely not a nerf (because anyone who only runs dmg mods is a noob). |
