-1 simply because while the idea it's good, as pointed out you can't change your race.
I feel better with CR, but since I'm a Caldari I should be using the RR to gain racial bonus.

It would be better to load the beginning MLT outfits with racial weapons.

No, the idea behind fitting optimization of a weapon affecting CPU is the only reason most people will skill into it anyways. The CPU usage of a weapon is higher than the pg use and is more problematic usually so fitting optimization being a racial trait difference is just ridiculous. Also I will point out that the weapons all have racial bases any ways and skilling into a fitting optimization for one group, say Assault Rifles, only optimizes your fitting for that weapon group which is already quite limiting for such an expensive to get skill.

No, but skill training modifiers should reflect your race, if you are gallente it should cost less sp to skill into gallente weapons, equip, suits, etc. and more to skill into the other faction stuff for example.

As in, tied to the people who make the weapon.

Not tied to your starting race, just a different fitting optimaztion bonus depending on the weapon.

Amarr weapons would have there bonus change from PG to CPU/PG reduction.

Caldari weapons would instead get CPU reduction instead of PG.

Gall enter weapons would stay the same.

Minmatar would also change from PG reductions to CPU/PG with a higher reduction to CPU.


Caldari -5 percent to CPU usage

Gallente -5 percent to PG usage

Amarr 2 to 3 percent reduction to CPU/PG(maybe 3 each or 2/3, 3/2)

Minmatar 3 to 4 percent to CPU and 1 to 2 percent to PG.

I just figure Minmatar is isn't so bad for PG and Amarr are CPU and PG hogs l.

While Caldari weapons are close to Gallente, most Caldari seem to have more problems with CPU and not PG.

These are just my observations of course, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

What.

For one, you never explain how we would receive this fitting bonus.
For two, fitting optimization is a terrible way to promote factional integrity.

by putting sp into fitting optimaztion skill?

I just wanted the skills to reflect the weapons.

See, was that so hard? Try putting that in the original post.


Except, here's the thing. The resources make the weapon. Rail and missile weapons are intended to be CPU intensive, to incentivise their use on Caldari frames, which traditionally have the highest CPU. Laser weapons are intended to be PG intensive, to incentivise their use on Amarr frames, which traditionally have the highest PG. Blasters have slightly higher CPU usage, to incentivise their use on Gallente frames, which conserve PG for their tank. Projectiles use fewer resources in general, but have slightly higher PG usage, to incentivise their use on Minmatar frames, which conserve CPU for their tank.
