Valor was supposed to have that feel, SVER were supposed to be the punk rebel type guys, and Raven the high tec best of the best feel.

I loved SVER simply because of the types of weapons they had, AK are my fav guns in any FPS, but Raven were by far the coolest in terms of aesthetics.

I also remember that, but the SVER kids were garbage at that Hijacking mode, and Raven were the **** at it, always retaining the contract bonuses for it, while valor fought with SVER over sabotage.

I just created a Minmatar Valklear, ex Bloody Hand, charged with 13 counts of Homicide......on the spot....can I hear your back ground.

I'll take a stab at it.

Clan Hannari is a fairly wealthy family of the Sebiestor Tribe from Eram II. No member of the clan has ever been enslaved by the Amarr but they have a history of service to the Republic in fighting against them and any others that threaten the tribe.

A cousin of mine, Wolf, was the first capsuleer of the clan. He got his start working for a Gallentean that brought his asteroid mining company to a nearby system. Eventually, Wolf was asked to start the Outriders to provide security for mining operations. As mining shifted to planetary operations the Outriders were freed up for militia duty.

Even though my family is wealthy every member starts at the bottom to earn their way. I was offered a position as a starship mechanic with the Red Rock Mining Company maintaining barges. When the CEO, Rees Noturana, was asked by Mordu to help quietly find a candidate or two for the Legion's secret immortal soldier program I was asked if I was interested. I packed up my mechanic's equipment without hesitation and headed off. That suit was one of the first models that became the Logistics M-I that we use today.

I dream of the day that I can return to Eram II, in a body based on my original, so that I can ride a horse across the high plains once again.

I never got that feel from Valor. I got the "we're a traditional group with awesome experience/have fun while doing it" vibe from them. Seemed the closest to modern military...Muricas' anyway. I think they were NA based to. Or was it Alsaskan? Then there's the sleeveless thing. Ya know what? It was a long time ago; can't remember.

Valor and Raven were pretty bland compared to SVER. Valor and Raven got actual training courses, but your SVER newbie had to go through what was just recently a battleground. "Initiation. HUHUHUHUH!" It's just too badass compared to the others.

Yup. That's mostly how I remember those game modes. Valor had Sabo, Raven had Acquisition all the time, and SVER stomped in Dom. I can't remember when and for how long Valor was just the scrubbiest place to be. I think it might have been from some point up until I left.


I'm really hoping Dust doesn't run that route.

At worst i'm hoping it's like how the "OP" side changed in M.A.G. Raven and Valor had their time in the spotlight, hopefully these factions get themselves in gear and are able to make a change.

Fair call, never considered it like that.

Nice that was a really good lore savvy character Bio.

I would do more for the Valklear toon but I don't know enough about Minmatar space....I cannot even envision what their planets look like..... I always see Amarr planets as storm or desert planets.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I have back stories for all my pilots plus six years of recent events including interactions with various live events. I may not be extremely social but I still get involved in my own way. My focus is now on DUST but the pilots are still around doing their thing.

There are so many options for planetary environments you can just pick something. http://evemaps.dotlan.net is a great resource for picking a planet too. When all else fails just use Prator.

See, it's like M.A.G.

Minmatar are the, lorewise, underdogs that rose up. Now they're dominating. It's a very appealing side.

I fight for them (and Gallente) because they have stuff I actually want. I'm not slogging through Amarr for some Drop Uplinks that are only 10,000ISK and some reppers and plates I can get out of the Gallente.

Was thinking the same thing, heck the Minmatar even have the SEVER (SVER) BPO dropsuit :p

And the Gallente have the Valor, while the Caldari have the Raven....... did you not know this?

I mean I have to figure that's the reason. It is always basically a massacre, so there really is no challenge.

Yes I know this, own them but just don't use the Valor (lol scout) and Raven ones.

HAHAHAHAH.
SUUUUUUUUURE suuuuure.

Thats why everybody is STILL USING them? LOL no. Only a scarce few.

AHHA the SCR is atm the most UP of ALL rifles. Having 20% bonus and penalty while the others have only 10%>
Having the biggest CPU/PG consumption and the worst drawback, the overheat mechanic.
first time i tested the ACR i went 25-2 with a STD dragonfly suit....fppt....

Usage doesn't sway facts, my friend

I take Minmater FW contracts to kill Ammarians.

Did you just complain about the Matari logi and REs?

Just......wow.

Lol. Don't often hear Minmatar suits get called easy mode.
