Aighun Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 666	Posted - 2012.09.11 03:46:00 - [1] - Quote For all the stuff in the skills and gear progression the game feels somewhat shallow. One thing that seems to be missing and that if done right can really give depth to the game would be damage types, and specific defenses for those types of damage. Classic RPG/ MMO what have you kind of stuff that can be found in any number of console games born and bred for ye old PS3 or Xbox. Red dragon is resistant to fire but weak to cold... kind of thing. Frost troll is resistant to cold but weak to fire kind of thing At present it seems that all damage is the same with a few exceptions that are sort of bugged like flux grenades. And if there are different damage types they are not listed clearly in item descriptions. Also there are only two types of defenses, as far as I can tell, shield and armor. Basically, If I wanted to make an infantry fitting that could stand up to missile fire, it would be great if I could see the type of damage missiles did (projectile?) and invest in suit or module that had the highest resistance to that type of damage. That way I could make an infantry merc that could shrug off missile spam, but would be weak to say, laser fire (beam damage?) or (energy damage?) from plasma weapons. Are there layers like this in EVE? I ask because it would be nice to keep the flavor of DUST constant with EVE as far as tech and damage types, etc. go. Anyone else interested in working with this kind of depth in the game?

Kinetic/Thermal/Explosive/EM There are also different types of Sensors. Ladar/Gravimetric/Magnetometric/Radar Here the links to the EvE Online Item Database. Cat: Armor hardeners, ECM and a Commandship Iam all for it and hope it will be implemented. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Item_Database:Ship_Equipment:Hull_&_Armor_:Armor_Hardeners http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Item_Database:Ship_Equipment:Electronic_Warfare:Electronic_Counter_Measures http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Astarte I also want to see ALL stats of the Suits/Vehicles lik Sig.Radius.
