The design will be aimed at new players and veterans alike, offering something that looks cool but adhering to traditional New Eden styles. This means that while it can borrow some aspects of the established races, it shouldn't look -too much- like them. Color palette will likely be whites, grays, and blacks to attribute to the neutrality aspect. Some considerations we'd like to look at when designing this puppy are: What could make this suit distinctive from the rest?
What type of accessories should it have?
What does it -LOOK- like it would offer on the battlefield that is unique to it?
What in-game NPC corporation would have had their hand in it's design?
Feel free to throw in any of your suggestions on this! What faction would we be starting with? For example, Valkyrie players are introduced amid the lore of the Guristas, and since Mordu's Legion was the first company to start mass producing the technology, why not have new players start with them?
Seeing that the empires does it now that would make 0 sense.
The new progression Z has thought up makes 0 sense............

Yes it does, and read my edit.

CCP can just update the lore and say that a Caldari corp has given the design of these 'outmoded' suits away for the neutral academy to mass produce for their trainees.
Again, Empires have their own academies. Why would there be a neutral one?
It makes no sense.

Stay within the confines of the thread. Neutral Academy Suit. Not that hard.
I'm saying that a neutral one doesn't make sense. I am within the confines of the thread. I'm just disagreeing with the idea.

I'm just disagreeing with the idea. Wasn't aware that a fun activity was restricted to making sense in one theory as to the progression of a game that isn't green-lit, doesn't have an alpha build, and largely up in the air as far as design... Set aside all the considerations and just have fun for a second, jeez.
Things aren't fun to me unless it makes sense. Deal with it

Again, Empires have their own academies. Why would there be a neutral one? It makes no sense. Eve Online doesn't make sense either. Please tell me how an MMO with submarine physics in space with absolutely no moving planets that stay permanently still in orbit with disproportionately-sized moons and stations, and where a whole station standing between you and your target won't block your shots makes sense. Nothing makes sense in New Eden.   Jokes aside, the best alternative is to just make empire academies just like how Eve players currently have it. But leave it to the players to create their own neutral academies like Eve University and Red vs Blue where players from any race can come in to get their training from there instead. Besides, Capsuleers, Valkyries, and Legionaries make far better instructors than those pathetic empire academies.
iirc the first thing is explained by the warp drive causing the ship to have drag. The rest? Yea, completely broken.
As for the serious stuff, there still needs to be a actual tutorial to teach the basics, but for the rest of the game, I agree.
