As a Caldari I don't want my women wearing hindering footwear. I will admire them out of battle with their armor on my floor, but while in battle the last thing I need is them tripping and falling like a model on a runway.

But you Galente can keep them, its easier to shoot someone who's fallen and can't get up...

Ok CCP I thought you were classier than this; why is the female scout wearing high heels? Yes, you are ahead of 90% of other games and chose to fully clothe your female characters. And we all know the Gallente are sluts but really... high heels? On a mobility suit? Come on.

And no, the heels aren't future tech that make them run faster. If they were I'd expect our male scouts to be wearing them too. Or for the female scouts to run faster.

but they should put them on male scouts

History lesson over - Although it's easier to program for a single decided stance, it would be better if the women's dropsuits were tooled for function over form - your average boot can work far better than walking on 4-inch-high stilts.
BTW the Scout and Assault are confirmed to use that style. Logi is hard to tell, and the Heavy might as well be a dude under all that armor.

Just saying, shouldn't whether female suits should have heels be left for the women to decide? I mean, why are a load of guys complaining about what gamer girls would probably like?

As a Gallentean male there is a reason our shops only sell high heels...

We want our wymenz to look their best! even when telling their drone hordes to murder people for the sake of their own amusement.

I for one say DOWN with the caldari and their sensible fashion!

And the amarrians? pfft robes were SOOOOO last century.

The minnies... well cant really tell their women from the men so well just let that one go.

Because it's often not something gamer girls like. Oversexualization of female characters is an oft-studied issue with serious ramifications for gaming as a medium. This is one of the reasons why there are fewer females playing games like this, and far fewer still who are open about it. Developers are not only shooting themselves in the foot by oversexualizing their female characters, but they're making themselves and their patrons (us) look like sexist douches.

WOW! I don't know what to say. The overwhelming amount of continuing sexist comments and the blatant inability to see that in what it is that you are saying and posting stammers my brain. I thought we progressed. But alas, I can see that people are still attempting to perpetuate these out dated and archaic gender roles, classifications, and forms of linguistic imposition of pejorative complexes and means of marginalization.

Chew on that for a minute.

HMMM did you read my post or did you just go rawr i must white knight and make myself look good?

I was making a joke based on in game stereotypes of existing races. I do however agree that putting high heels on a combat suit is pretty much just going for man vote. I for one like the heavy female model of all of them it feels like it belongs.

The rest of the models look like they took the measurements off of models and **** stars and said yea this will do. and the weird but wiggling walks the female suits make WHY?

Well if we ever get to make our own avatars you can make them look however you want (although according to the MYTHOS we all use stock clone MALE bodies in combat)

Oh, God. This is a thing? A real thing?

Really?

CCP ... please, no. High heels have no more place on a battlefield than makeup does on a tank.

This is as bad as John Woo-style dual wielding. Scratch that, it's worse.

For example: Why do I have to be a fit, toned and muscular-looking guy with armour that emphasises my pecs and abs? Why can't I be clinically underweight, or a bulkier less-attractive physique with an Assault suit?

OK i think this may just be a fix to a observation in general even in the military, females are of slighter build and shorter than males they just are while the characters in DUST the females are of slight build but they are ruffly the same hight with the high heels if they make them to much smaller than the male then there would be arguments that it is not balenced hell even with the slight build people argued that.

Also if you want to say the female characters are over sexualised then whats you solution make them the same hight and build as the male that is rare in reality at least it is if you are taking a traditional male soldier as the norm which DUST most likely is
