I hate posts like this.
I really do.
Imagine this...
You own your own car business. You make Semi trucks and Motorcycles.
Your semis are designed to pull huge loads, and are very heavy.
Would it make sense to design your motorcycles like that?
Big, heavy, with a hitch on the back?
No. Its crazy.
Then why, would a army do that? Infantry don't work like Spaceships. Hoped somebody had figured that out.
It make sense to go "Hey guys, this shield stuff is really light, why not use this stuff to lighten up our suits, it'll make us a bit faster!", or "That shield stuff is too flimsy, Lets just stack a bunch of armor plates on this suit.", or "Lets have a even balance of this Shield and Armor Stuff, that way we can be safe from both lazors and Bullets!"
While in space stacking armor plates may not have really mattered to the Amarr, having to chase runaway slaves on foot is really difficult with massive plate on their back.
In Space, Range is easy to keep, but on the ground, maybe the Caldari went for a slightly more survivable style then they usually do so if they get advanced on, they can pull out a CQC weapon and try to not get blapped to bits.
Perhaps on the ground the Gallente decided they didn't need to quickly close range when they are primarily keeping the peace in their cities?
Maybe the Minnies just went "Well gee guys, maybe if we were faster we could help those slaves get back into Minmatar Space better?
Think about it. A big ass spaceship is totally different from the individual infantry trooper, and how they fight in space maybe wouldn't translate well into ground combat, so they adapted to the locale.

You post OBVIOUSLY says otherwise.
You directly say "X Race is like this in EVE, and it isn't like so in DUST, so its wrong"

Arkena Wyrnspire wrote:The Gallente have a faster base speed in EVE because they use short range weaponry and use that speed to get in range. That could also apply very well here - a shotgunner would benefit greatly from increased base speed.
It fits well with the Gallente battle philosophy of charging in, going balls to the wall with short range high damage weaponry that shreds things but can't do much past that range.
Ok.
If you are going to increase speed, nerf HP.
Nobody wants a faster Gal Logi.

The system we have pushes the idea that the Caldari are actually fast while their weaponry says they should stay at a range. How would you propose we fix this while also not making the Caldari suits weak?
Fast to keep range?

Caldari are fast and play keep away while Gallente are fast and try to get all in your face. Now we just need those damn reactive plates and ferroscales to have a cheaper fitting cost...
Yup.
Love my reactives.
