I hope I got the right ideas here so.
The shield system is at it strongest in the middle of the persons height, which is the area around the chest to the thighs,which makes the armor there just a security measure to protect the wearer from harm if the shield is overloaded and fails.

The chest area is still a very vital spot to hit and because of the height of the suit is it also easy to hit which make this a must to protect part by every way possible.
Did you also notice that the chest plates can be easily taken off from the suit?
It reminds me of an optional flack jacket.

The thighs are also very easy to hit and it if the heavy get's hit there, could it happen that the heavy is unable to move or moving would become extremly hard with one functioning leg, and you could bleed out because there is a major blood vessel in your legs and if you get hit there is it good bye if you don't have a logi around.

Mobility on the other hand is something that Caldari don't need during a fight, they are experts in long range combat which means that they only need to counter any try of the enemy to outflank them, or every try to break through the Rail fire by forcing them to close quarters fights.

Don't forget that Caldari also want to make some cash with those suits, using gallente armor material on a suit that already has a fusion reactor on it's back is very expensive, and the shipping costs for Amarr plates would be very high if they even want to "borrow" them.

Which means that they would only use material like caldari steel because it's cheap, and they can easily replace it from the suit if it get's damaged by just hooking the destroyed plate off the suit, which reduces the maintenance costs, except for the reactor which is a different story.

So the answer to this question (I think) is, that mobility is ignored by Caldari engineers in favor for better survivability and it's far cheaper to use caldari steel flack jackets to protect the heart and lungs and some rudimentary armor plates around the legs to secure that the legs can't be easily sniped of to immobilize the heavy.

But it is possible to detach the plates and gain more mobility but that would depend on the situation.
Well this is my theory don't know if that is worth the space that im using here.

I think it's mostly the fact that Sergamon has managed to gather universal hate from everyone and/or the Bloodhunt team being so closeknit from the last mission outsiders quickly start heating up emotions. Denak is also going through a slightly more heated period, normally he wouldn't be bashing people with imrpovised weaponry. :3 Roy Ventus wrote: Denak Kalamari wrote:** Speaking of which, TA-DA!

Combine that with Serg throwing movables at Hawkeye, someone Denak trusts, and he just had enough and vented his anger at the first possible target. It may have ruined his reputation, but that's character development. I could edit the whole thing too to take the high road, but I'm tired and I'm about to hit the bed.

The point of RP isn't to explain how your character is a super-awesome demigod with your endless explanations for your deus ex machina plot devices, there's no fun in that and it makes your character boring. What makes a character interesting, and roleplaying that character in general, is his or her unique flaws or shortcomings, and how he or she overcomes those flaws. And I just have to be frank with you right now, you're a horrible roleplayer. Your character is as bland and dime-a-dozen as one can get with the plain old nightmares-from-past-traumas flaw. I could understand it if you at least wrote your posts well, but you seem to barely put any effort into them without even doing basic proofreading or even adding question marks. On top of that your RP is barely skimming on the edge of IC and reasonable, so overall I recommend you take a good hard look on your RP and improve on it. Honestly said it's crap right now.

Denak Kalamari Intaki Liberation Front Intaki Prosperity Initiative 1442	Posted - 2014.04.04 21:16:00 - [17] - Quote Alright, after recalling my memory and skimming through both Blood Hunt and Rabbit Hole, I'll give my general thoughts: Hawk-eye, I'd say you've nailed your character pretty well. The relaxed attitude your character portrays is done good, and the writing execution is mostly correct aside the occasional slip-up. However, bringing an HMG to a meeting, even a non-functioning one, makes me scratch my head. Those things are incredibly heavy, and impossible to carry without the specialized exoskeleton of a heavy dropsuit, and the whole concept of bringing a weapon for a meeting for any reason is silly to me. Ermac, your character is done good too in my opinion, although I'm not sure if you're playing him as a Caldari loyalist or a general mercenary. There is still some room for improvement on the writing part too. Lack of punctuation and line breaks makes reading your texts a chore at times, Grahisha of ILF // Writer of Thoughts of a Clone Soldier // Latest entry published Apr. 1st

Although, there's still room for improvement on your grammar, like capital I when using it as a pronome, and using more puncutations with what you write. Other that, you're doing good.

I'll just note you here that Caldari tech isn't necessarily designed for speed and mobility. In EVE, their ships are the third slowest right before Amarr, while Gallente are second right after Minmatar. Caldari ships rely on hunkering down with their shields and engage their enemies from long ranges, and I would assume this design philosophy applies to DUST as well. Your speculation makes sense from my point of view. I'll also be writing a post sometime today. Grahisha of ILF // Writer of Thoughts of a Clone Soldier // Latest entry published Apr. 1st

Still do we just need something that is above the sorrounding radiation, something that is strong enough to give the counter a spike. Like radioactive tracers that they use in modern medicine but in bigger quantities. And the 3 shoots are to obvious and could also happen during a shoot out which would make everything more confusing. I meant using the personal computers to make an "offline" map. Which can be done.

Am I pissed? Yes I am, but I will still give CCP the benefit of doubt and keep playing to see what happens afterwards. So please, don't make hasty conclusions and abandon ship instantly, at worst DUST is still going to have another year of support and updates.
