I'd prefer fw to limit players to the chosen factions gear regardless of balance, it'd give those of us who really appreciate the lore a place to go. Not player chosen race but who they are fighting for as that really would be crap as I regret picking gallente.
It wouldnt appeal to others but they are just there for lp anyway, they don't actually appreciate the lore. Its mostly just a farm so people can stomp pubs in a cheaper manner or for farming items for PC.
It would be a grand sight as well, amarr and minmatar going at it. Vehicles would have to simply be allowed as we don't have racial variants.
Anyway this is just a fart in the wind, people have shown in dust that they don't want a variety of options or anything that offers something a bit different to other stuff, just the same crap with different names.
Just like PC, every idea that would have had it offer anything different was shot down in favour of what we have now, a more time consuming version of skirmish with almost zero connection with eve.

Racial purity bonus. The more your gear matches your chosen race, the more points you get. The more your squad matches racially, same thing. Ditto for Team inside a match.
Well, simple in comparison to other things. That sounds too much like a "set bonus" from other triple-A MMO's. It would discourage diversity through game mechanics; if you aren't joining racially specific squads/gear then you are handicapping yourself. I don't see this getting implemented. I could see a version of FW where if your race/suit/weapons/mods all match then you get a bonus from end game results. That might be a little more fun in FW but its just my personal opinion
At least this, this would be a step to making it more 'immersive'.

Now if there was a min version of the SG then it wouldn't matter.......
Still waiting for the ability to throw my nova knives, since we getting ones that damage tanks now, we should get ones we can throw as well lol
Oh my god, 6 scouts chucking knives at tanks for av.
This would be hilarious.

I would love it and I believe it would **** off tankers to high heaven to see a kill feed the showed a nova knife killed it.......and ADS gunners along with LAV drivers will scream that they got killed by a knife throw
I can picture a squad of scouts jumping all over a tank and stabbing it up.
Like a group of velociraptor dinosaurs.
I like it a lot.
*kisses knives*

It wouldnt appeal to others but they are just there for lp anyway, they don't actually appreciate the lore. Its mostly just a farm so people can stomp pubs in a cheaper manner or for farming items for PC. I just want to pop in and say that all RP does not and should not revolve only around the four big empires when there's a myriad of smaller factions with their own independent agendas. I've been in the Intaki Liberation Front for a year now, with it's own goals completely separated from the empires and I love it. You have to keep in mind that most capsuleers and dusters are freelancers and mercenaries still with no real loyalty to the empires they originated from. It is a perfectly valid lore reason to be running faction warfare only for the rewards it provides, or being "just there for lp". Restricting gear like this would only stifle FW in general. I should also point out that the whole Empyrean War conflict is not really an actual war but rather a way to stop the already tense relations between the empires escalate to a full size war, but that's a whole other topic. On top of that in New Eden, CCP has endorsed that everything is RP. Those large conflicts in nullsec happening between huge coalitions of alliances is canon just as much as the lowly miner shooting rocks in highsec for ISK or a duster completing a public contract. While that merc running FW just to get LP to buy neat gear may not be actively trying to do RP, what he is doing is still RP. That's what I did throughout my entire dust career and it was perfectly valid from a lore point of view, which I was actively trying to do. My point is that simply focusing on FW as a medium to encourage RP would just be a disservice to all the various other groups inhabiting New Eden who do not participate in FW. The pirate corporations, mercenary cells, cults, non-profit organizations, criminal syndicates, player corporations and many others all dot the universe with their rich history and relations between one another, and definitely worth exploring in an RP environment. If we want to encourage RP and embrace the lore, we should highlight the rich and varied people and groups of New Eden, not just the big four.
Yeah I know, thanks I guess.
I'd just like to actually see some of that actual factional warfare that we see in the videos.
