Gallente have always been armor based with a focus on armor repairs, as well as being the second fastest race. I don't know why Gallente in Dust weren't like that from the start but it's never too late to change.

Minmatar have always been speed tankers that can tank either shield or armor but not as well as the other races. I see no reason why they should be given an innate armor regen. I think instead they should get a more noticeable speed buff.

Caldari are the best shield tankers but also the slowest race.

Amarr are the best armor tankers with a focus on brick tanking. They also have more shield than Gallente. Amarr has more low slots than Gallente but less medium slots, giving Amarr greater tank and Gallente greater utility. I don't know why the slot layouts in Dust have been reversed and made Amarr hybrid tankers.

Gallente ships are the slowest, not Cal.

and all those comments have nothing to do with dust.

dust is not eve.

active tanking does not exist for dropsuits like it does for ships in EVE.

beside that some of those comments about EVE are actually wrong

fact is, the speed advantage is either too low or minmatar has to be improved somewhere else. minmatar doesnt offer anything over gallente. I can slap on a sprint mod on the gallente suit, even out the speed difference and still have slightly more EHP.

Minmatar are hit and run with weapon upgrades!! if you look at the EVE Minmatar bonuses you will see that they generally have higher damage boosts.
Ragnarok (min titan) 125% damage to projectile turrets
every other titan has only 100%.

Gallente have generally repair bonuses.

You keep saying that you think DUST is not EVE. I'll keep saying that I think you are wrong. The military doctrines may vary some between space and ground forces but will generally be consistent. It's pretty obvious that Remnant and crew are working to shift the races back to the traditional doctrines now that racial parity is becoming a thing. Resistance tanking is starting to make an appearance and I bet we'll see active modules on dropsuits within a year that introduces active tanking.

Tell me how Gallente ships are not intended to use speed to move into position so that their blasters can do their thing.

Caldari are long range, slow and massively shield buffered.

Amarr are somewhat shorter range, slow and massively armor buffered.

Minmatar are short to mid range, consistently very fast and usually actively shield tanked but do armor tanking.

Gallente are the shortest range, use very fast speed bursts to close the distance and actively armored tanked.

Those are the core military styles. We're missing true active tanking but the always-on armor repairers are close enough. What is missing is the Minmatar being able to recover their shields and have enough speed to make a difference.

*unintelligible blathering*

Another thing that-¦s missing is the speed aspect for damage application. In EVE more speed means less damage taken.

who cares what you think how it should be?

I feel the exact same way about you.

and all those comments have nothing to do with dust.

dust is not eve. what is true for eve does not have to be true on dust, I can only point towards the remote repping bonus stats on minmatar logi taken from sisi. active tanking does not exist for dropsuits like it does for ships in EVE and beside that some of those comments about EVE are actually wrong

fact is, the speed advantage is either too low and minmatar doesnt offer anything over gallente. I can slap on a sprint mod on the gallente suit, even out the speed difference and still have slightly more EHP. if you would take that innate repair away, the gallente suits are still slightly better. conclusion is, either increase the speed gap significantly or do something with the gallente suit.

This is incorrect.

The order goes, from fastest to slowest:
Minmatar
Gallente
Caldari
Amarr

This is because the Matari forces rely on having superior speed, Gallente forces frequently employ short range blaster tech and need to get into range.
The Caldari haven't focused on speed much and the Amarrian battle philosophy is essentially bricking.

Sure, let's not use a game that just recently celebrated its 10th anniversary as a guideline. Let's start from scratch until we get it right (again)

Fact is, you can't active tank on dropsuits, be it armor or shield. But having a fast recovery rate allows you to get into engagements faster. Gallente and Caldari as such should have fast recovery rates. Amarr will be a brick tanker that won't be able to get back to an engagement quickly without some help. I agree the Minmatar need more pronounced speed for their weak buffer (though I've seen Minmatar logis with just as much armor as my Amarr logi).

Could you tell us all where these bonuses are supposedly being applied? Last I heard you were mouth breathing some perfectly ridiculous ideas without citing sources?

If you want a discussion with someone about the merits of armor/shields and repair or tanking amounts, start offering information instead of broad statements that don't say anything at all. It makes you sound like my kids running around hitting each other all telling me "he started it".
