FPSers get more of a kick out of being the bad guy? :p

The responses were better than I expected.

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!

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.

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.

the amarr tried to save us, they offered the empires an alternative to the implant, an end to the voices. the empires suspected treachery though, and the amarr implant was rejected. treachery or otherwise it was worth a shot, an end to all the damn voices, a reprieve from ever encroaching madness. they tried to save us from ourselves, from the sleepers, one and the same. one by one my comrades, my brothers in arms lost their grip on the world and slipped into a dark, dark place. killing the innocent and painting the walls with their blood, could the empress's implant have lead to a worse fate?

my move to the private sector has helped, but I still gaze into the abyss daily and fight my inner monsters, fight it, fight me, which is which I no longer know. there isn't a day that goes by where I don't wonder if the amarr could have saved me, from it, the sleeper.

[this is probably the only time you will see knight role play, so enjoy that.]
[if you haven't read the fiction under the media tab of the main page I strongly recommend it. it may help you understand my post... a lot. also I have to give a shout out to pie for promoting amarr loyalty and dispelling some of the rumors surrounding the amarr. incase you didn't pick up on my motives because I suck at creative writing I believe that I owe the amarr empire a debt of gratitude for at least trying to save the mercs from the implant, again read the fiction if you don't know what I'm talking about it's good trust me]

THIS IS WHY I DON'T RP!

nah jk

that actually crossed my mind while writing it, then I thought door guard + word gets around but it would be silly not to assume there wasn't some sort of sound proofing in place. truth be told it was simpler not to worry about it and made it easier to convey my point. though my character may be ignorant I am not, and my character is me so... yea that's a paradox.
