As some players may have noticed.
Male clones are rectangular and feature no aero-dynamic features.
Female clones are curvy and appear sleek and fast.
My request:
Give male clones a passive boost in armor/shields,and melee damage,depending on race.
Give female clones a passive boost in speed/movement and harder to detect by scanning,depending on race.
Based on:histories greatest assassins were all female. |

No. Character race/gender shouldn't matter.

I'm pretty sure that the future spaceland Iron Man suits everyone's running around in pretty much completely negate any physical attributes the wearer might have. You don't run faster because you spent a lot of time training to physically run faster, it's because you improved the capabilities of your dropsuit. |

Gender doesn't matter in EVE either. Why should it in Dust? Bloodlines actually play a bigger role though in dictating how fast you learn combat, industry, and exploration related skill trees, but I don't know how well that's going to translate in Dust when half the people here don't care about lore. I would like to see a bit more complexity like this, but it's most likely never going to happen, especially since we probably won't get industry and exploration skill trees.

You're probably not familiar with Starsiege: Tribes, but that game was the poster child for what happens when you have differences of character mechanics between genders in a shooter.
The only people who played as males were the people too new to know better. Trying to be more "realistic" isn't worth the massive imbalance that would likely result from such an idea.

Gender made a difference in Oblivion. Males were slight better at combat, and Females were slightly better at magic. He may not have gotten the message that they *mostly* removed that in Skyrim though.
*Males do run faster in though, because they are taller, and height determines speed in game. Therefore Male High Elves are the fastest characters, and are used for speedruns because of this.

If this is true it is only beause they slept with their targets then killed them when they were unaware. Since there is no seduction in Dust I'm going to say no.

This is stupid for reasons already explained by others, and my friend says you're likely a troll (probably true). How exactly does gender effect a dropsuit shields, armor, or stealth (signature profile)? those things are electronic functions of the suit, and independent of biology.

I see your point and I actually think it would be kinda nest from the RPG standpoint if character creation mattered a little more. I think you could take gender, race, and bloodline and provide advantages and disadvantages to make it a bit deeper.
To be clear I'm not talking a big sweeping changes just small perks. |

Well, you're getting raged out, but it's okay.
This is pretty....unlikely to happen. Think about it: We see women as limber and sleek figures, but a woman's body with enough exercise can bench 200 pounds just as easily as a man who has done the same exercise.
ergo, no....no gender stats. |

Wow, I gotta say, the reasoning for this seems sound. Even the dropsuit design seems to lend itself to these kind of bonuses and in fact are more aerodynamic and bulkier respectively. Perhaps this idea has more thought than some of you are giving it. Just because a female character in Eve doesn't get piloting bonuses for a ship (not really male or female but rather quite unisex) doesn't mean a quite literally that a different sex dropsuit shouldn't. Shape plays quite a role in contemporary stealth techniques when designing stealth technology. On a side note, it would be good to tie the bonus to the Dropsuit Command skill.

In all honesty the bonuses should be negligible at best.
A few years ago Eve took away the race attributes and this idea seems to be a bit of a stretch in the wrong direction.
I would prefer CCP to focus on making more varieties of suits and apply these bonus types to the suits as well as new modules.
I like the bonuses but not the application.

Lore would matter more if it was more prominent and had more of an inpact in Dust.
CCP should be ramming Eve lore down our throats at every opportunity IMO |

Sorry. I don't see this working out at all for anything related to New Eden. Eve Online use to have racial attributes a long time ago, but then CCP realized this created an imbalance in diversity and population distribution. Too many players trained up for Caldari because that race had bonuses for training skills faster. As a result, CCP removed that and now all races are purely there for role playing. Population diversity and distribution has improved since then.
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

No it doesn't . The only thing it affects are:
1. Profile Picture
2. Starter Corp.
3. Merc Quarters
4. Role Play
It affects no character stats. Its only side affects are purely cosmetic.

It's kinda sad that all i did was point out the facts and got rage and the title 'sexist'.
Look at the different genders yourselves and tell me females don't look curvy and aerodynamic,as well as lighter and harder to detect.(they do,especially caldari) And males look slower,stronger and more durable.
I'm not being 'sexist' by suggesting bonuses based on obvious facts, if you want to rage at someone rage at the people who made the curvy clone. |

Im not calling you sexist or anything nasty. I simply do not agree with you. To say a human female is harder to detect or more aerodynamic is kind of silly.
Not to put down females or anything but you do not see co-ed contact sports for a reason. Speaking only in regards to physical tendencies, the male typically dominates the female.
