There is no change. I completed a support ticket today to see what is said. If it's of merit, I will post the information on this thread if that's ok with you. I didn't want to derail the topic too much.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting the DUST 514 Customer Support Team. Can you please update this Ticket with the name of a specific Fitting you seem to be having this issue with? In order to investigate this we will try to recreate your Fitting.

Please also note, that CPU/PG cost changes from Skill bonuses are not shown on any items in the Fitting screen - only on the overall used CPU/PG of the Dropsuit you are fitting - and that all such costs are always rounded down below 0.5.

Please don't hesitate to contact us again should you require further assistance.

Best Regards,
GM Archduke

Gallente could have bonus to OPTIMAL RANGE of racial weapons.
Plasma rifles have shortest effective range of all weapons and their optimal range is shorter still.
So gal-asses could take 70m effective/40m optimal and boost it to 70m effective /60m optimal at level 5.
Perhaps even a boost to total range as well, say from 70m to 90m so at level 5 it would be 90m/60m.
Give me that and some killer armor reps and I'll be proto gal-ass from GO!

I would prefer bonuses to be generalized.
We are mercenaries. A mercenary shouldn't care about the manufacturer of a gun. A mercenary should use what's best for the situation.

I would prefer bonuses to be generalized.
Characteristics of suits and guns of the same racial alignment should mesh well, but both should also work on their own.
So a Gallente assault weapon bonus should apply even to Caldari, Amarr and Minmatar weapons. It would modify those guns in a way that fits the racial characteristics of the Gallente.
Alternatively, you can just drop the weapon bonuses and focus on the role by giving Assaults playstyle bonuses, like racial tanking. This way, all the Assaults will exemplify the playstyle that their races are known for, instead of being showcases of their guns.
IMO, no role bonus should ever enforce any kind of equipment. (There are some unfortunate exceptions, like cloaking, as the game's system isn't perfect, though)

We are mercenaries. A mercenary shouldn't care about the manufacturer of a gun. A mercenary should use what's best for the situation.
The equipment selection isn't big enough to allow a character (Or, hell, a squad) to be outfitted with a full racial setup, especially as there's a lack of intra-faction synergy. (Like Minmatar having the repair Logi, despite Amarr being the brick tankers who naturally require repair support)
That's why any combination of tools should work without penalties. Lack of synergy should be implicit (e.g. fitting a Nova Knife on a Sentinel), instead of being enforced by bonuses. A Gallente should want a Gallente gun because it meshes well with the Gallente playstyle, not because it's the only gun that profits from the racial bonus.

Other than that, I love the idea of putting one bonus on the medium suit.

Sooo... 1 & 2?
