What if playing faction warfare had limitations to what you can bring into battle. Playing for Minmatar, you can only use a Minmatar suit and only minmatar guns, same goes for vehicles. And so on.

It would just be increadibly cool to see a fight between Gallente, all the ARs, all the rephives vs Caldari with their faster shields and RRs - this just as an example.

This would lead to the "arch setups" of the various factions hardware to be put up against each other and by extension it would be fun to see how those battles pan out.

Off course, as the game is today this is not feasible. We don't have all the racial vehicles, only 2.15 dedicated AV weapons and so on.

But just as a thought, for the future, when we got all the stuff, and we have a fairly sizeable playerbase of multi specced vets this could be very cool indeed...

That is not what FW is about the only limitations it needs is who you can fight for at any one time, a single faction, so that trading between Factions Stores actually becomes a requirement to get certain gears.

So the Minmatar who are architecturally weak to tne Amarr get completely screwed all the time? So the Gallante who are architecturally weak to the Caldari get completely screwed all the time? The whole of factional warfare becomes a stomp fest but only for 2 of the factions? What happened to "You may find yourself fighting for loyalty, for money, or simply because it's what you're good at." I am a Mercenary, I'll fight for whoever I feel like, for whatever reasons I choose and I should be free to do it in whatever gear I believe will get the job done. No offense, but no thanks, I don't want to skill into gallante suits just so I can put a few federation reactive plates on my Minmatar Suit.

No, no, no that's almost as badly restrictive. You should be able to fight for at least 2 factions, instead fighting for say the Amarr will dramatically reduce your loyalty with minmatar, twice as much as fighting 1match for minmatar would decrease it, then it also reduces gallante by 1 matches worth. As such you can now never have more than 2 maxed out at a time. Then dependent on your loyalty level you can only by certain tiers of gear. 0-2 None/Mlt 3-6 Std 7-9 Adv 10 Proto This is where the P-2-P market viability comes from.
