quote=Rynoceros]We are all encouraged, through Racial Dropsuit Bonuses, to impart racial purity in our fittings.
Why not also implement Deductions for mixing it up?
Example: Gallente Weapons RoF reduced by 20% when paired with an Amarr Dropsuit, Amarr Weapons Overheat 20% faster on Caldari Frames, etc.

I don't welcome REDUCING the generic effects of mix-fitting other races' gear on your race's suit. Like some of the other posts here noted, it would work against CCP's cardinal scheme that a player is encouraged to customize as much as possible (without actually stating it, they mean you're encouraged to cross-race your fittings as much as you like to).
 But Rynoceros, that doesn't mean I'm against your THINKING.
It does make sense that, since the Lore timelines suggest that each one of our races evolved totally independently for eons before we ever jumped off our own planets and discovered another race, that Gallente tech dropsuit and PG/CPU interfacing wouldn't be freindly AT ALL to some foreign Amarr sidearms you try to plug-in and operate off your suit. You'd blow up (remember the film District-9? So Coool).
So it WOULD make sense in the game if, when you try to operate a Caldari weapon on your Minmatar suit (because local Caldari mercs are pissing you off, and you want to be able to fry through their sheilds faster than your own Min projectile weaponry), the incompatiblility between the two races that oddly eats up your PG/CPU load more than your standard-race fittings,... so you can ultimately carry the Amarr weapon if you want, but have to take more of your nades or rechargers or dampners off your belt in order to do it.
No CRAZY deductions,.... just enough to create another species of Dust player who "is willing to risk running around naked in order to fit the rare Emergo-blastron-gun that's really only meant for Caldari tech dropsuits" .
...If it brings even more Eve-Lore depth to Dust 514, you've got me automatically half-hooked on the idea...
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
