Since the start of factional warfare, i believed that you should be rewarded for using faction related gear when fighting for your faction. Recently I've been doing a lot of gallente factionals, expecting to be fighting a bunch of shield based suits and rail weapons, instead i was greeted by a flurry of amarr and other gallente suits armed with rail rifles and combat rifles. I signed up to fight the caldari. I want to fight the caldari. |

Dropsuits and weapons are tools in a mercenary's toolbox. Why would I stop using the weapon(s) I have hundreds of thousands of skill points in just because I am not fighting in that army? If I see shield based dropsuits on the enemy team I will use a hybrid blaster or laser weapon, I don't care what flag I'm fighting for.

Honestly, I was tempted to AWOX your squad today. Since Caldari loyalists can hardly find a place in any corp it would seem.

Armour is literally better than any shields. To each his own but remember remember armor is slower and lacks the regeneration speed of shields. Shield regeneration has a delay, where a Gallente Assault or Sentinel with 2 or 3 armor repairs can regenerate between shots. Shields can not do that. Armor repair is better than shield right now, that delay is what kills it.

Loyalty does not mean using your faction's gear. Secondly, we're mercenaries, not national soldiers, so we use whatever we want. If the US for example hires mercenaries to help with a war, do you think they would care about whether their gear is all American-made?

Unless you use like 3-4 rep reps, you're not going to have a major impact on a battle simply because you can't outrep damage.
With both shields and armor, to efficiently, you must find cover. With shields, 3 CPX Regulators and perhaps 1 ADV energizer, you're pretty much on par with 2 CPX reps and 3 CPX Reactives.
This is all my opinion, though.

I would be ok with FW giving incentives for using their faction gear. Just remember that I still want to be given the option of using gear from other factions if I wanted to.

This. Why in the glorious hell do they have horrible delays? Shields were good once, when they had very short delays, people would fight while their shields leaped 70hp/s up between shots. Honestly, I think if we halved shield delays and kept depleted where they are, shields would be in a great place.

Actually that's not entirely true. Because armor doesn't have delays, it on average has higher rep values than shields. If shields aren't interrupted they *can* have higher rep than armor, but that doesn't always happen (and the inhibition value is practically useless). Armor rep is far more consistent in its rep values.
Furthermore armor repair can be augmented by players with rep tools or any variety of triage nanohive.

Loyalty has meaning when you give it such.

To be honest, there's a lot of value to the state of the game if teams would random select for FW.
It seems that FW often becomes slanted in one direction or another (Amaar stomping or Caldari dominating...or vice versa). Beyond the lore based loyalty, I would suggest that imbalance might be amplified by the relatively low number of players queuing at any one time for FW.
And if there is one faction consistently getting pummeled, a larger percentage of players otherwise aligned to that faction may do something else. Decreasing the pool further.
More teams willing to just mix it up and fight like clones would add interference to the pattern...breaking up the amplified dominance and rallying more players to stay in the fight.
And, yes, I recognize the need to cling to some vestige of kinship with our capsuleer creators.... and if it passes the time until we have a clear shot at the stars, then so be it.
But when DUST breaks out of this dying system, freeing ourselves from the bondage of our false locals and allowing true clones to breach gravity wells all across the cluster, then we can drop the fa+ºade of loyalty to our captors.
The newer generations don't remember Mordu's trials but a few of the originals recall how it began. CCP pointed the way out...DUST514 they said...and off we went...broken free of the hydrostatic capsules and implanted with these internal infernal things.
The doors don't open on your merc quarters for a reason. This system is dying and if we can break out...into the Tranquility of New Eden proper...we can do what clones do best - wreak havoc amongst the egg-dwelling species that bore us and cast us out.
Loyalty
Follow the leash from your bound neck to the hand that holds you
There do not your loyalty lay
People ask me why I die all the time...

Honestly I see quite a lot of Caldari tech from Caldari FW top players.
I'm more concerned with the scumbag teamkilling Gallente. Everyday there seems to be individuals that contribuite absolutly nothing to the battle but are quite happy to team kill over and over..... *Shakes fist*
We dont get any of this in Min FW

Factionnal is a battle between factions. We should be forced to use a caldari or amarr suit in both caldari and amarr factionnal and gallente or minmatar in gallente and minmatar factionnal.
It makes everything more logical and bring a little bit of lore to the game.
