It's in Eve, therefore it should be in Dust? That's it?

Come on man, this is an opportunity to create and/or maintain some real diversity in this game. There has to be a better reason to restrict our choices in the game than conformity to existing trends.

How does it restrict choices? If anything it broadens them. As of right now you can only get the perk that skill gives you when you wear the suit. 2 assault bonus and 2 logi. That is restricting diversity. How do we do anything different if there are only these two options?

Because why would anyone run a different type of weapon then what their suit receives bonus's for? I am a caldari assault, if I get a bonus to rails, I should run rails. If I don't, then I am wasting a perfectly good bonus. And not only am I wasting the bonus, any other weapon I can use is not worth using, as I will never be as good with it as the suit with the bonus for that type of weapons. Why should I fight the way another faction does, when users of that faction's gear will always be better at? That would be setting me up to lose.

You must consider this from a racial design stand point. An Empire manufacturing these suits like ship hulls would design it to best benefit its own technological inclinations. Now I agree, suits need bonuses that reflect the racial attributes of that class, in the case of assaults weapon benefits for those racial weapons. Its not just a matter of "its in EVE" its a matter of "it makes sense within our universe". Using what you have is just another part of New Eden. Ever wonder why you don't see Amarr Battleships with Auto Cannon or Missile? "All things were created by the Divine, and so the glory of our faith is inherent to us all"

Depends, though you would be better suited to use them on Gallente ships, and even then .....blasters are just better on the Megathron.... I also suppose Khanid ships are missile amarr boats, and the Guristas Drone Caldari boats. "All things were created by the Divine, and so the glory of our faith is inherent to us all"

I don't see a reason why you shouldn't have racially theme bonuses, no one is being punished, only rewarded to specific fits, you can still do as you please. Just look at those crazy twats who auto cannon up Ventures....and win in pvp fights. "All things were created by the Divine, and so the glory of our faith is inherent to us all"
