it does matter -_-

gallente assault= armour/armour repair. (high repair rate. low shields)
amarr assault= armour/shield tanking. (low repair rate of armour)
caldari assault= shield tanking. (low armour)
minmatar assault = low armour/shielding. (faster and somewhat better repair than caldari and amarr.)

if you like the medium suits, but feel theyre too weak try the commando. assault is good, it offers a step up from regular suits.
scouts are brilliant for burst damage. if you can get the suprise on 2 or 3 people, provided they match up to your gear, you could properly win. scouts are not good for sustained combat in my experience.

minmatar scout = hacker/nova knives. ( good ambushers)
gallente scout = assault rifle/shotgun/ion pistol. ( if you add lots of repair plates to them, then you will have a good, light fighter for
amarr scout= anything. (is simply an upgrade to a light suit, in my opinion)
caldari scout = hit and run. ( brilliant for hit and run. give them high shields and dont try sustained combat.)

commandos are amazing for high damage, and tanking that can rival almost a sentinel. they still wont stand up to a group or to a sentinel in most cases though. my favourite is the gallente command. it can be given some of the best armour rep in game, and is a good solo suit, that can work in team fights well.

gallente commando = armour repair/assault rifles/plasma cannons/shotguns/ion pistols. ( perfect brawler suits, and good with a tac rifle at proto level)
amarr commando = armour tanker/lasers. ( good for long range fighting)
caldari commando= shield tanker/rail and bolt weapons. (weak at close range, but good mid to long. shields allow a good protection from snipers)
minmatar commando = flanker/explosives. (naturally has less armour and shields, but has a good buff to anything explosive. is capable holding entire squad ups if used correctly. also good for av with an explosive bonus.

I have not personally tried sentinels much so please correct me if im wrong.

gallente sentinel = armour tank/rep tank. (good for firefights)
amarr sentinel = bruise/tank. ( needs logis for backup)
minmatar sentinel = flanker/burst damage. (brilliant for flanking enemy squads)
caldari sentinel = forge guns/long to mid range. ( because it uses shields it is weaker at a close range. it is better with a forge gun or an assault heavy machine gun ( extended range compared to regulalr hmg)

~fox

Except the mlt suits it does not matter.
He can skill into any other suit/race.

the starting race is important. as it chooses the blueprints you will get, which you will likely end up using even through proto

Florin Salam Resheph Interstellar Strategy Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2015.02.07 13:51:00 - [1] - Quote Hello guys, I've somehow new to Dust and I'm wondering which race to choose. I had played this game one year ago but at the "entry level". ( I still don't understand the game) I've logged now and I had a character which race is Amarr and it had really much SK Points which I used them randomly in the Skills for making them level 1/2/3/4/5 .. and I don't know if it's worth playing on this character !? What do you think?

What do you think? Well, to be honest with all those skill points, you should've come here first Now, play with militia weapons and suits and see which one fits you. There's light frames who are really fast and attack out of nowhere with alpha damage. There's medium suits which can provide backup or be the main frontline fighter. Then there are the heavy suits, where you can wield a heavy machine gun at the expense of low speed. Try the playstyle you like the most! Forced Death

What do you think? That depends. Basically in New Eden all races have equal access to technologies, training, etc and from there you can be anything you like. However I find it helpful in games like to to be something you ideally like, especially if you want to RP, or start themes for any specific reason. The four basic races as I am sure you know are the Amarr- Who inhabit the largest of the four sprawling empires ruled over by a single Empress. The Amarr believe that their God has given them the divine right to spread their Faith across the cluster and Reclaim the lost aspects of mankind. The practice a form of slavery where the captive is cared for a taught by their owners and eventually emancipated to become citizens though this process can take generations depending on the Holder (slave owning noble) involved. Caldari- A small former client state of the Gallente Federation who broke off after tensions between them and their patrons caused the Gallente to bombard their home world from orbit. The Caldari are a dutiful people whose sole purpose is to serve the collective that is called the State. They are socially broken down into megacorporations who see to their basic needs, organise their marriages, and oversee all facets of life. Gallente- A massive democratic federation of worlds that champions human civil liberties and the ideal of freedom. They the most liberal of all of the greater empire and are an open and tolerant people who delight in entertainment, drugs, and the potential of vertical social advancement. They've been rather interventionalist when it comes to the previous two empires as they directly clash with their own ideals and were partly responsible for founding the Minmatar Republic. Minmatar- A race of formerly desperate tribes who were once completely enslaved by the Amarr Empire and have only recently freed themselves in an event known as the Great Rebellion but also at great cost. They are unified by a collective need to refound their society and their deep seated hatred of the Amarr who the actions in the past. They are an angry and passionate people given to rash acts however they are also ingenious engineers and very adaptive when it comes to new situations. They are also eager to remind everyone that they are their own people which has caused tension with the Gallente. Aesthetics wise Amarr are visually elaborate within gold and silver colours in their weapons and armament as well as rounded designs. They also fire beams of energy and electro laser projectiles and often have the theme of purification through immolation as a part of their theocratic nature. The Caldari are very basic and functional. Their designs are simple and uninspired with simple armour plating over the key areas of the body as well as simple weapons that look fresh from the factory. They fire Hybrid Rail projectiles (aka railguns) and hit hard at long range. Gallente are brawlers. They get right up in your face like a Jin Mei ***** at a drug fuelled Gallentean high school mixer (true story) and use superior fire power and plasma based weapons to tear apart their enemies. They use very uniquely styled fire arms that encompass rounded designs with dropsuits that have a distinctly biological appearance. Minmatar are the scavengers and "rebels" of New Eden and use low tech solutions to the high tech problems. Projectile weapons, IED's, and very primitive exoskeletons re-purposed from old mining tech with a bit of duct tap and some rust encompass their aesthetic. They look tough, impromptu, and slightly intimidating. Do you like any specific themes (or care about them) or perhaps want to know more about hybrid factions or more about a specific faction?
