I love the fact you guys get so behind the races in DUST. I have to admit though, I came from playing EVE Online for about 4 years.
In EVE after you have been playing that long you realise ALL races are important and you train into each and everyone of them.

People say - "A jack of all trades or a master of one" Well in EVE it doesn't quite work like that. I guess the analogy can be more akin to ship types than racial flavour. As such I LOVE CalAmarrGalMatar!

That doesn't stop PIE from running only Amarr hulls. People call them crazy, but they make it work.

Interesting. I remember a few years ago when the illustrious Pandemic Legion would run Amarr Zealot gangs to great effect. I learnt very hard and very fast as a noob that bigger does not mean better as I died in my brick tanked, double doomsday tanked Rokh or Megathron.

I assume you realise the dificulties in EVE sticking with one race for fleet battles? You do have the Abbadon though, and my favourite ship of all - the Archon! Mmm MMmm.

While I am a member of PIE, I am exclusive to the Dust side of things. I have not actually played EVE, so have no first hand knowledge. However, I talk with my EVE corp mates (well, it's technically an alliance but in lore we just call it one big corp with branches) quite a lot and they have indeed told me the difficulties of running exclusively one faction's hulls. But again, role playing and supporting Amarr is what we do, so we embrace the challenges to make it work.

We hold up the same ideals Dust side as well, only using Amarr dropsuits (except for light frames currently) and once the vehicles come out we will only run Amarr versions as well. Not quite the same level of difficulties, but it is still present to some degree. Especially when the enemy knows all of us are going to be armor tanking so they bring out the combat rifles, mass drivers, locus grenades, and such.

Or for that matter, if you even care but I feel as though I should bring something to your attention. In EVE Online - Amarr roleplayers generally go by the alliance name of CVA (Curatores Veritatis Alliance) The rest of the community general calls them; Scrubs, LOL RP-ers and a manner of other unwelcome names. In DUST however the last few months I have noticed that its cool to be an Amarr RP-er. Or if not an RPer then its very fashionable to be an Amarr loyalist. Why is this I wonder?

As such I LOVE CalAmarrGalMatar! Edit - Though If I HAD to pick I would be a Caldari loyalist as I value efficiency in life. Plus you gotta love the under dog! So that would make me an Ally of the wretched Amarr hummm, a precarious situation indeed.

I think you got "it's cool to be Amarr" and "the Cool are Amarr" mixed up. Haha I certainly DID NOT, however +1 for that it gave me a laugh.

I love the fact you can do things like this in eve. So many random items and bits and bobs that are meaningless in the game generally but can be used in such a way as this. Like your example of storage cans full of slaves. Muhaha!

Especially when the enemy knows all of us are going to be armor tanking so they bring out the combat rifles, mass drivers, locus grenades, and such. Cool. I didn't know that but its good to hear. And that right there is what makes this game better than most FPS`s - Even if we all play a beta game. I just want to say one thing - in EVE you have Carriers. Much like todays aircraft carries. It is generally considered that the Ammarian Archon is one of the best if not the best carrier going. Very tough with huge bonuses to repair and energy transfer ranges. Whilst also having innate resist bonuses. Also the laser rifle in DUST is the weapon most similar to the Amarr weapons of choice up in space in EVE. Now check this cool little thing - Imagine being able to swap out the laser crystal at will (The ammo type if you will) so you are able to go from short range high damage beams to a longer range , less damaging but more sustained crystal or ammo type. Having this ability in dust for the Laser Rifle would be so sweet. I want my Conflaguration ammo for close range and my Scorch for long range please CCP.
