Buff the noobs!  Cut heavy speeds down 36 kph.  Roaming heavy groups shouldn't be a thing.  Return roaming back to mechs/assaults and lights!

Nope. Russian bot farming = best farming.

I think in terms of walking around speeds are spot on, maybe not for heavies, but it's 100 times less tedious now getting around Nia.

Wouldn't that be a workable solution (at least initially) for HM.
Not able to fit both or just not working together.

Resist speed fit
Fast and good HP (if you pick correct resists) but demob-able

or

Plated tank fit.
High HP, Can't demob but slow

Pick one

As stated  "for HM." Heavy Mech only.

why not?

Hello, Time to sit down and do some serious number crunching:  I am going to be looking at the robot speed difference of the numiquol faction.

Starting off (Base Speed):

Light Bots:  120.60 KPH

Assault Bots:  117 KPH

Mechs:  100 KPH

Heavys:  93.6 KPH

Literally the difference between a Heavy Mech and a Light bot is 27 KPH base speeds....  This is a huge problem.  Why is this a huge problem because of Highways.  Heavy mechs with a 36 KPH bonus to speed on highways are faster then light bots fleeing over land.  Meaning the heavy following highways can cut off lights trying to exit an island.  A velocity Nexus can make a Heavy travel 104.6 KPH.  OR 145 KPH on a highway..

Now Let's fit these bad babies up:

A fitted Assault bot fully loaded can go these speeds:

Demob resistant version 116.28 (MK2)

A fitted Demob resistant Heavy can go:

A t4 Variant goes 89.8 KPH

A t2 variant of this (Just medium plates) goes 94.4 KPH

So we are back to a 27 KPH and a 24 KPH difference.  From an assault bot to the largest bot in game.  So what I am getting at here is that the reason it's 100% acceptable to fall out of station and chase after assault bots in because of the narrow speed margin.  Why would anyone roam in an assault bot that can only be 27 kph(assuming no velocity[lol]) then a heavy mech counter part?  I thought the robot balancing patch was designed to help newer pilots out?  Because a group of assaults can only out run a couple heavies, but when they have castel mk2s chasing them for tackle, it makes it very difficult to create space!

I suggest this:  Slow Heavys down, the base speed of 93.6 should be lowered to 75 KPH or LOWER.  Heavy mechs should not be used by veteran players to roam constantly unless they can be demobbed.  You imagine you have a robot that can go 100 KPH on Beta that can't be slowed?  AND has massive hit points?  Heavys should be stationary and slow, like for base defenses on beta and gamma, but should be very easily out flanked by lights and assaults.

Currently the whole veteran side of players roams nonstop in heavy mechs?  Why because they are fast as hell.  How does that help new players?

its world of ville or perpetuum online?

probably need to get your lies straight before posting: http://www.perp-kill.net/related/267707

Im going to bet Jita will still try to argue with the facts

PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?

you apparently haven't been to Dom at all.
