DUST Search - Quastion about Gallente Dropsuits

Basically, infantry combat philosophies don't stick with Eve combat philosophies for reasons and magic.

What it boils down to is Amarr combat philosophy is all about synergy and balance, which makes sense on a spiritual point of view but it sort of falls short when you consider that they are the slowest in game, sort of a misnomer that detracts from their "omni" tanking considering there are a number of factors that prevent them from effectively armor tanking.

One of which is their prominence toward laser based weaponry which is often high on PG resources, but likewise they've been given more CPU/PG resources than other dropsuits for that reason.

Another reason is because they move slowly and adding armor compounds that issue if you're using armor plating that's worth a damn.

Basically - Gallente are going to be the new flavor of the month very soon whenever everyone finally realizes that Armor is viable and they can stack damage mods in the highs without sacrificing tank.

When the flux are we getting our Gallente Heavy!?!?! yes exactly all amaar ships tend to be exceptional armor tankers, with the thickest armor and best resistances of the four playable factions Gallente are also Armor tanker but have still less Armor than amar in eve why not in Dust ?

Accually amarr is more armour based then gallente No, they're not. In EVE they are, but not in Dust. This can clearly be seen in the slot layouts - Amarr suits have more balanced layouts, while Gallente suits are low slot heavy.

OMG (send this to rookie training grounds) because amarr is shields and armor and galante is armor only, caldari is shields only, and minmatar is shields. And this is wrong. Amarr armor buffer tank, Gallente armor active tank, Caldari shield tank, Minmatar shield speed tank. Usually. This is one of the things that irritate me the most about Dust. The blatant disregard for established racial differences, both in suit design and racial bonuses.

Visala Telephia Luminous Order of the Prismatic Maiden 6	Posted - 2013.09.14 22:33:00 - [20] - Quote I think that its important for us to look at DUST's own established lore. The Amarr are the ones who first established clone soldiers, and as such, would be the first to go storming every other race and faction. This means that they would need a balanced suit, contrary to their normal strategy of having such large armor buffers that nothing gets through. And of course, the true Amarr philosophy has nothing to do with armor. That's just a result of their history with regards to coldsleep based star voyages and needing lumbering ships that won't die if left more or less unattended for decades on end. The true Amarr philosophy is completely on display in DUST, and that is rather simple: Burn the heathens in holy fire. All true Amarr weapons are laser based, and lasers work the same in DUST as in EVE in terms of damage, minus the freedom of ammunition types modding the EM-Thermal balance. So, given those factors, and that Gallente happens to be the active armor tanking specialized race, it does make some sense that the Gallente would design their dropsuits around what they already knew would work for them. The Caldari suits are all based around shields, as they are supposed to be. Minmatar suits seem a bit off compared to EVE, but then, without speed tanking, versatility is really the only option for them to set them apart. Beyond that, I will concede that its a bit odd for the Amarr to be balanced even given those things. Especially when we look at things from a... pirates invading the ground standpoint. Blood Raiders and Sansha's Nation eat shields like no tommorow, and literally in the former case.

Without Eve, Dust is just another failure. The potential connection between Eve and Dust is the only thing holding this game afloat atm.

Cody Sietz Bullet Cluster 982	Posted - 2013.09.14 22:44:00 - [24] - Quote I guess because it would make Gallente the worst if they got lower armour and lower shields. At least Smart still have the highest base ehp.
Den-tredje Baron The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 213	Posted - 2013.09.14 22:45:00 - [25] - Quote I guess it's a bit late to change stuff up now and well the amarr suits work okay with their duel tanking role. (everything looks like it's bloddy duel tanked now ) The biggest problem i see regarding all the suits are that caldari still got quite a few lows to spam in some incredibly effective basic armour plates (and maybe even a little repper if they want) giving them what i've named a "passive active buffer armour shield tank" The armour plate changes have done well something though what everybody asked for was that the higher end armour plates got better and the low ones well kept being not as good as the high end ones. Making like specialized armour suits like gallente (and also the amarr) more equal to caldari and minmatar. Instead everybody now just runs around with a ton of armour and a lot of shield as like a bonus on the side .....

There are lot disparities between the infantry dust side, and the spaceship eve side, however most can be expalined. Now you see in eve amarr has longest range right? Yet in dust its caldari, now while technically every weapon in eve should have unlimited range, could you imagine the fallout from a spacebattle, you could be flying through high sec, we a barrage of minimatar rounds fired from null sec teat ship apart, oh joy!! However on the ground, caldari has the highest range because of the rail gun technology, unlike amarian lazers they don't have a focal point where the photons are mos concentrated, meaning that the gun doesn't havento be "zeroed" in that respect!! Amarrians are dual tankers because they are the invincible vessel of god, they are his weapon, and a weapon is no good if it isn't incredibly durable!!

Iv never even played EVE, but I think a game based in the New Eden Universe should at least have some measure of similarities since its Dusts SELLING POINT.
