High risk = High reward
Optional of course.
I would like to see this mentality deployed in FW actually, and relate to the racial suits/weapons. This could either be optional like you say, or as a dedicated type of FW battle where one side is 100% matching the side they play for - invalidating suits or weapons from other races for that battle only. Of course to do this, we need racial parity in vehicles and weapons first...

There's no precedent in eve and it breaks the current convention of customization. It wouldn't add any depth to FW at all.
Three things:
1. I'm a 7 year Eve vet.
2. Dust is not Eve.
3. There is a lot of other differences between FW in Dust and Eve - plexes/PvE as a prime example
I see no reason we can't implement this here as an option - but you're right in that it wouldn't work for Eve as the mechanics there don't support this, and neither does the lore. Think about it - in Eve, you're part of the militia, meaning citizen soldier (you or not formal soldiers and you are not paid mercenaries - you volunteer so you can bring what you want to the party. There is no militia in Dust - we are hired mercenaries. There is no lore reason that says that as hired mercenaries we have an exclusivity clause about the gear used.
EDIT: And this idea is based on the OP, so yes it is related. I also said I don't like the idea of this happening in public matches and offered another way to introduce the mechanic he suggested.
