You sure its caldari? I mean there are two amarr factions with grey paint schemes the imperial navy namely.

As stated above, Amarr believe aesthetics are function. They add a lot of unnecessary features to their suits for looks. Just take a glance at the medium frame and heavy frame. The suit in question looks bare bones minimalistic, which is the Caldari approach.

The suit in the middle here,
http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac201/fireofprometheus624/image_zps5f6f06a5.jpg
Is much more in line with how the Amarr would design a light frame suit.

Also taking into account that a) CCP is only doing suit models for the three frame sizes b) all the mediums are already out c) it is definitely not a heavy and d) it is not Amarr either, that only leaves Caldari light. Either that, or it was a suit for some other purpose which got scrapped.

That was the picture I was talking about.

What we see could be a bare bones image of early scout suit. The helmets in my opinion are very similar between the original image and this new one.

I still don't feel the suit is caldari though a great deal of evidence points to that....in that sense its not that I deny that it could be caldari....only that it doesn't look or fit the caldari aesthetic.

Has Promethus linked the higher definition picture in this thread?

Okay so first http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac201/fireofprometheus624/image_zpsa21dc0ce.jpg The original picture I found at the top of one of the pages on the dust 514 website, I believe it was for one of those monthly emails when we got sentinels that this was up there. Now, the enlarged pic of the Caldari scout http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac201/fireofprometheus624/image_zpsca227557.jpg I sent in a help ticket asking about this and got the usual run of the mill "we cannot comment on this" And then a few days later, the picture was changed Ps. This was around early august 2013 Commando 6 // A.R.C Commander // D-Uni instructor

What concerns me about that theory is a seemly plate like colour distortions on the chest and shoulders. We could consider that to be light weight segmented combat armour....but in my mind that does not fit the drab, utilitarian style that the Caldari have.....in some sense I even think it looks a bit more heavily armoured than the Caldari Medium frame. True but it does look kinda like a skinny Caldari assault though :) Commando 6 // A.R.C Commander // D-Uni instructor

I'm willing to say that there is a 90% chance this is Caldari, no way it's amarr because let's face it! amarr will have the scout with the most bling.......and a mini battle skirt Commando 6 // A.R.C Commander // D-Uni instructor

It's not that much duller than the Amarr colours, and unlike the Fanfest pics, it's not under optimal lighting, so it's possible that's actually gold. Ehhh....the helmet definitely screams caldari....and his weapon looks like a RR..... There is no way to know for sure until a dev comments....

There is no way to know for sure until a dev comments.... (That's your que ccp) Like I said earlier, the helmet looks like it has about half the features each from the Caldari and Amarr Light Frame helmets shown at Fanfest, and other elements of the suit's design show a similar amount of each faction's design aesthetic. And I don't see the resemblance to a Rail Rifle as much as I see a resemblance to a pump action Shotgun. Also, "que" isn't a word in English. It's "what" in Spanish, but the word you're looking for is "cue" (if you meant a line or the people waiting to join a game, it would be "queue") Lol indeed Commando 6 // A.R.C Commander // D-Uni instructor
