Minmatar should get a prison shank Lol

Maybe a filed down toothbrush with some grip tape!

Seriously? Do you guys not read? I just posted the history of how a Minmatar slave took the religious scepter of office out of the ruling cast Amarrian's hands and beat him to death with it and sparked the uprising that eventually set all the Minmatar race free from the Amarr...

And you talk about f u cking prison shanks...

You, sir, are just plain dumb.

Except many Minmatar wanted to stay with the Amarr and were forced into freedom against their wills. The Minmatar even purposely left many other Minmatar behind due to racism against other ethnicities of Minmatar. A significant chunk of the Minmatar race are loyal to the Amarr and are called Ammatar. During the Minmatar invasion of Amarr space, the Empress almost wiped out all of the Matar Elder fleet.

So... "Do you guys not read?" Cool

I've heard that the melee function was originally combined with the nova knife, so I guess that's why they look that way. If we were to still get racial knives, how would you want the Gallente, Amarr, and Minmatar versions to work? I would want there to be an option for the Minmatar to wield a Khumaak! https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Khumaak https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Khumaak_%28lore%29 https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Khumaak_%28Chronicle%29
Jadd Hatchen The Phoenix Federation 451	Posted - 2014.04.08 19:12:00 - [2] - Quote Seriously, you guys are really missing the point... Minmatar is about moving around faster but using lots of strength and bigger guns to do the damage. In that case, while the dropsuit for a Minmatar scout should be faster in running, the weapon it wields should be the largest and most damaging of the mix. That and there is already sooo much lore in the universe for this: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2036070#post2036070

A significant chunk of the Minmatar race are loyal to the Amarr and are called Ammatar. During the Minmatar invasion of Amarr space, the Empress almost wiped out all of the Matar Elder fleet. So... "Do you guys not read?" Um no you got all that wrong.... First off, you are correct there is a good number of Minmatar that work with and support the Amarr, but we don't call them Minmatar, we call them AMMATAR. However, many of the Ammatar Elders had chosen to stay behind to keep a secret from the Amarr. That secret was that the Amarr hadn't completely wiped out the Starkmanir Tribe of the Minmatar (there were originally 13 tribes of Minmatar) which they were hiding from the Amarr right under the Amarrian noses. Second, the fleet they "wiped out" wasn't the Republic Fleet. It was a SECRET fleet that was paid for by post-war taxes raised by the Gallente relief fund for the Minmatar that the Thukker Tribe secretly used to build a fleet of capital ships. Then when a Sister's of Eve researcher discovered that the long lost Starkmanir Tribe (thought to be extinct because they started the revolt and the Amarr retaliated by declaring GENOCIDE on them) was still alive and hiding amongst the Ammatar, the Thukker Tribe (without the consent or assistance of the Republic) decided to violate all pre-existing Concorde rules and jumped this massive and until that point, secret fleet of capital ships into Amarr space to free the Starkmanir before th Amarr could complete their goal of GENOCIDE on them. Only what they didn't know was that God-Empress Jymal had just recovered some ancient Sleeper tech that allowed for both the creation of the Amarr Templars (the first group of DUST clones which is what we play now), and some kinda new weapon that allowed her main flagship to wipe out half the invading Thukker Forces. But at that point the Thukker Tribe had succeeded in liberation most of the Starkmanir Tribe from the Amarr. And that's only scratching the surface of what happened, because that's what re-opened the faction war between the Amarr and Minmatar... There are similarly convoluted things that lead to the rekindling of the war between the Caldari and the Gallente. But in the end, they were BOTH sparked by the same guy... ;)
