Love the additions!
Although I think they should still be called Command suits instead of Crusader suits, since they are modeled after Command ships in Eve and the word Crusader is very much Amarrian bias in nature. Maybe rename the MCC pilot suit to something different? Or maybe they share the same suit type of Commander and get bonuses to two different roles? |

However it makes more sense when the command suit is specifcially designed for mmc and battlefield control since he will be playing the game in RTS or command and conquer mode.
Yeah, but you have to admit, the word Crusader just screams Amarrian for obvious reasons. Maybe call the ground command suit "Officer Dropsuit" or the MCC command suit "Overseer Dropsuit". |

I'll counter that as a merc I couldn't care less about religious, social, or political issues, which the word "crusade" implies. Also I'm sure you're aware it's already a ship in Eve.
CCP has always been pretty clever in their ability to name things, they've also done a really fine job of keeping their naming conventions parallel between Eve and Dust, to mitigate confusion. The word crusader doesn't imply "group bonuses" at all. Using an existing ship name that has little to do with merc duty seems less than creative to me.
I mean, it's a cool name and all, and I wouldn't be bruised to see it during launch, I just think there are more effective alternatives. |
