Its a sandbox. To see someone invest nearly 3 mil sp onto a suit whose that loses half of its bonuses by using non racial weaponry is the epitome of **** you lover of that particular suit.
If you truly loved your RR Bp combo you'd go caldari assault. Damn all you heathens. **** you too especially Leonidas.
Any other lovers of any particular suit out there that get irked seeing this sorta crap ? I know I use to send hatemails about this all the time. Ever since the arr and bp buff a while back I stopped because I don't have time to mail every other gallente assault I see about why the AR ion pistol and gallente assault are the perfect trio.
I just don't see the point! In both EvE and here in Dust, I'm training exclusively Caldari. I figure maxing out all the Caldari skills and using the weapons, modules and suits/ships that go with them is the way to achieve the epitome of fittings, and the best out of them. Anything less than level 5 of everything, used on equipment that doesn't fit the skills is just a waste.
I've noticed that the racial bonuses aren't that well understood or used in this game. People use Minmatar suits then put Gallente weapons on them, like Assault Rifles (blasters), completely missing the point that there's no bonuses for them on Minmatar suits. Any other combination will be exactly the same. Only the basic suits that don't have bonuses will not be wasted, but of course, people are running around in elite suits with the wrong weapons for them. Completely pointless.
I'm not saying that eventually I wouldn't train the other races, after all they do have some cool gear, but to do so would delay maxing out my Caldari skills, and dilute the Caldari training with training in other weapons, none of which I could gain bonuses for, unless I train their suits as well...
In the fullness of time, but not right now... |

I enjoy variety as much as the next clone.i just think variety comes from the different races. To me when it comes to assaults and commandos, non racial weapons are inferior. It pains me to see people run them as mixed races because ccp has provided the variety of at least 2 variants for each rifle/ siderarm combo. Your name is Dagger in leet. You may just like knives Just imagine a minja without nova knives.
To be clear, the whole idea right from the start of EvE was racial variants and type of training would be preprogrammed by the choice of race and bloodline. The training was easier if you followed your racial bloodline path, and it was only because of players asking for the ability to easily train other races that they removed these restrictions. However you're still better off to stick with the training you start with, unless you're certain you really want to make the switch.
With Dust, the training is formulated for you by the suit fitting progression. You can of course, choose to train any and all of them, but you will be reasonably cr@p at all of them, until you get to a certain minimum level. By sticking with the one race fro an extended time, you get good at one race fast, then you still have the option of training the other races later on. I prefer to do it this way rather than always chasing FOTM, for instance. |
