Generic male clones, that's why female mercs look the same. Probably different model bodies used by different corps.

I would guess, female suits will need female clones. This will make them more expensive, increased cost could be used to balance hit box difference. Also, if female mercs use male bodies, male mercs could use female ones, so even if female suits are added the gender choice won't have a game effect.

I think we are individuals according to some lore I read at some time or another, we sign a contract to work for "x" time but they change our memories and we become slaves forever.

Honestly, if I could do this in reality, die over and over and fight forever, I would absolutely do it. It's like a technological Valhalla. So maybe I'm crazy, but I'm certain I wouldn't be the only one, and in this 'future world' of New Eden, it wouldn't take millions to determine the fates of planets and solar systems, so it shouldn't be too hard with tens or hundreds of billions of people to recruit from.

Dying many times in some of the most painful and gruesome way isn't that much appealing to me..
Sure it would be awesome to handle all that awesome weaponry, but the constant pain and death takes some serious balls.

I think that, being mercenary, DUSTers are a bit above the average soldier, but there is no reason not to use the clone technology in any risky environment. So, probably, the average soldier gets the cheap clone while the mercs get to use the better ones because of the higher income.

I haven't read all the DUST lore yet, so i could easily be wrong

were clones, are we clones of our original selfGÇÖs or clones of a general copy? it would make sense for capsuleers to have unique clones built for them with all their wealth and prestige, but we Dusties are individually broke compared to them and we die 10x as much as EVE players and considering the corporate domination and greed minded individuals in the game it would be considerable cheaper to have a clone a single clone, so my question again are our mercs all the same like clone troopers, or are we copies of the original?

Actually, I think there's some game fluff about the implants being designed not to transfer the memory of death according to some hogwash about psychological trauma.
