Is it the art teams that haven't finished the models, textures, animations? Is it the balance team that's struggling to figure out niches for each racial variant? Is QA so back logged trying to find/fix the existing bugs that they can't test these suits? Is CCP holding these back for some marketing blitz to launch a ton of new suits to much fanfare?
From the fanfest footage, CCP said these would be coming soon. This implies that most of the work was already done, doesn't it? Why do you think these are being delayed so long? |

My guess is the art department are working on guns and buildings instead. |

Because CCP....
But in all serious, I have no clue. I find it kind of amateur that all the racial suits weren't released at launch. In my opinion, which I know isn't worth much, I would think this would make the game hard to balance since every option isn't readily available. Meh, what do I know?

After so long, it seems like the art assets would be finished. So maybe the balance is the issue.
Otherwise:
Perhaps it is because they want to give them bonuses to items that are not yet in the game and don't want to give them interim bonuses in the meantime?
Or perhaps they are waiting to release them until they are ready to release a dropsuit skill tree change? (it could use one) |

my guess would be that they want to redo all the suits.
they mentioned before how they are currently implemented is holding them back, and will need some redo's as it currently operates off of some broken tag system
assuming that is on the chopping block, what is the point in releasing new suits and balancing them if they plan to redo all the suits anyway in the near future. |

Hopefully it's all ready and they're just waiting for the winter expansion to land before releasing more content. |

This has been my gut feeling for some time. They need content for a winter release.

Money - if they could hire a bigger team they would. They spent a lot on uprising - and are spending more fixing that mistake. You'll be lucky to see content by 2014. PvE which was promised early 2013 - is now not even anything more then a theory. |

The art department have made post's saying they have all the art work done... And are waiting on the design team to come up with the actual stat's of the suit...
They just don't know... and are to scared to look for a consensus in the community then a community vote on the couple options we came to a consensus on.
They have a very active passionate set of gamers that would love nothing but to take time out of their day and add their opinion or vote on an upcoming game feature...
CCP leaves us on the bench's and barely uses us... put us in coach!! |

Be fair. There are thousands of us, and we all have different opinions. They can't really "take us into account" without always alienating a whole bunch. |

They probably don't know the stats... Which honestly, the community can up with pretty fast if asked.
Hell... I already know the stats of all the scouts coming out by simple comparing with other suits |

But you'd think having literally the most basic of basic content would be a priority for launch, nevermind months after launch.

They said it was not the art department, rather they have no idea what they're doing in terms of design.
So, the hold up is nobody sat down and sketched this all our years ago. I guess they're all just playing it by ear, hence the constant revisions and push backs |

The avoidance of providing any timeline, even a remotely vague guess, is getting a little ridiculous.
Maybe, just maybe, they're coming in 1.5/6?
Maybe they're the reason for the vehicle and weapon delays?
(Still not having my Gallente Heavies is starting to **** me off - despite the numerous other improvements that I'm very appreciative of.) |

I never played EVE, but did they have all of the races out at the launch of that..?..
i'm just asking cause it seems weird to release a game without, at least, all of the playable personas that are part of the main story..?
what if Madden came out with 28 teams..?... |

Incompetence. As well as they don't want to release anymore OP content so theyre trying to balance everything before they release it. The problem is they don't have a clue what constitutes balance, which goes back to the original problem of incompetence. |
