Should there be a penalty to cpu and pg for using weapons on a different races suit?
Amarr suit with a scrambler rifle no penalty with a rail rifle, combat rifle, assault rifle 25% penalty to weapon cpu and pg.
Something like that.
The weapons in game are made for the suits of the same race why not have some sort of penalty for putting it on a different racial suit.
Or have a racial crossover skill that allows use of other racial weapons.

That pigeon holes you into using the racial weapons. Instead of penalizing you, just provide a bonus with your race's weapons. That is enough of an incentive.

Also, Amarr has no Heavy weapons, what do they do? Same with Gallente.
And Caldari need to use HMG's once THEIR Heavies drop, because no Heavy AI weapon yet.
And Minmatar using FG's for the opposite reason.
So... no.

Oh my god I didn't think you were still in the game. Uh sorry no. I mean technically it makes sense. We already got enough problems with CCP understanding and following basic logic. It would just be cruel to challenge them any further

In terms of lore, yes that is true. But in terms of reality, no that is not true. Do the racial suits currently give benefits to each of their racial weapons? The only suit that did that (Amarr assault) is having that benefit potentially removed.
Instead of applying penalties for combining cross racial suit/weapons, CCP should build on the idea of benefits to weapons for staying racially pure. Just like the Amarr assault.
Edit: point already made above.

No because then I can't justify using a rail rifle on my Gallente even though rail tech is both Gallente and Caldari.

You should not be punished for using another race's weapon. you should get rewarded for using racial weapons on their respective dropsuits.

Who wants the world where every amarr suit wields only amarr weapons? Every caldari suit only caldari weapons? Gallente gallente? You get the point.
Creating penalties/bonuses inevitably leads to that. Everyone deviating from that is a loltard.
Why? If some weapons has bonus, the gameplay has to be balanced considering that bonus. So it sets a new par, new baseline for that weapon type. Therefore non-bonused use of those weapons is obsolete.

Well, if we are going with this idea, instead of a penalty I think it should be a small fitting reduction based on the suit, like a small 1-5%, so the only thing it would help with if you were just out of reach of just making a fit.
So you end up with two min max builds
A) putting the best of everything on a suit (which most likely is racially mixed)
B) making a suit more efficient by sticking to one race to fit a little extra on it.
I think the above would make a good for the meta game.

The racial bonuses that are being introduced in 1.8 are fantastic from a lore and verisimilitude perspective and I love that the races are becoming more defined in their battlefield philosophy but if you get too carried away and start penalising in the way you outlined in the OP then you are basically eradicating the flexibility of fittings and combat tactics that DUST has had as a cornerstone since the start. I got into this game because you could fit dropsuits any way you wanted and this is what made the game unique. Take that away and what you're left with is a similar model as all other military FPS games where you#re basically a support, a scout, an assault...but with races.

Eeh, As it stands I am currently opposed to that idea.
Your weapon determines more about you style of play then your suit does. Unlike EVE where your ship determines how you play.
If we had full racial parity for all ranges then sure that wouldn't be a problem. But as it stands if I want to play a shotgun scout I would have to be a gallante (per your suggestion) otherwise I miss the bonuses.
However if we had a Gallante, Minamatar, Caldari and Amarr Shotgun each with their own specific perks etc. Then I would agree.

Important note: this is how Eve does it and it works very well.
The thing is, the only time it is acceptable to put whatever kind of turret you want on a ship in EVE is when that ship doesn't have a bonus to a particular turret type.
In Dust, the base DPS of the weapons is so comparatively high that you CAN put other race's weapons on your dropsuits and still be effective.
In EVE, you NEED the ship bonus to do decent damage in most cases. As long as one of the ship bonuses is to a specific type of weapon, choosing not to fit that weapon in the name of player choice and creativity is a terrible idea.
You can get away with putting whatever kind of weapon you want on a ship that has no explicit bonus to a particular turret, for example, drone ships like the Prophecy and Myrmidon which have multiple unbonused weapon hardpoints.
On the other hand, if you put anything other than medium projectile turrets on a Hurricane, or medium hybrid turrets on a Brutix... well, the people who kill you are going to be very, very amused by your "outside the box" thinking. They'll probably share the killmail with all their friends so they can discuss the creative way you fit the ship. |

The racial dropsuit's weapon bonuses shouldn't be base damage then. They should shore up a weapon's weakness: reducing heat build-upon lasers for Amarr, reduce spool up time on rail rifles for Caldari, etc.

So... no. MKB + FG = AI weapon The control type is irrelevant. It is still primarily AV. I can kill Infantry with MY FG with a DS3, but that means nothing.
