Why the hell should my forge gun miss? This isn't technology being developed now, this is ridiculously far into the future compared to now. We don't have exo suits for war, we're testing exo suits to give people back some mobility after suffering severe trauma to their nervous system.

IF I'M MISSING THE SUIT ISN'T WORTH IT AT ALL. At that, why do snipers have greater range than a forge gun? It's the same damn technology.

If you want to move this CCP, then move it, but don't bury it. You'll end up being like the bigger developers that don't care about the people they're entertaining.

Why in the hell does a forge gun miss a heavy suit? I mean seriously that target is the size of a barn and its entirely useless and seriously why is my heavy suit moving around like a crippled person, I am literally tripping over every rock sump and step. I mean we're 20k years in the future and we're supposed to be so highly advanced yet I am sure me and my buff self could do better job than this pos suit. My suits should be assisting me aim for amarr's sake!

Also why in the heck does my forge gun does not have the same range as the sniper rifles? Aren't they both railguns?

Finally CCP! Why are you taking so effing forever for the next build and fixing these stupid issues CCP!? If you don't fix these dust will die!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Rampant AI's that can get hacked and basically twist the suit's head around and off.
One of the main reasons we don't use the first generation Aegis proto-suits anymore, they where suspect-able to rogue drone hacking.

As for the forge gun.
Its not a railgun its a heavily modified mining bore blaster. Uses a very powerful electrical charge to de-harmonize materials in a nice bore hole shape, and in a most ore rocks and veins this would shatter an asteroid apart into easy to manage peice after a few blasts.

As for hitting a sniper, aim better. Its the whole reason your body has been programmed to handle any weapon. You still need actual experience with the weapon in order to utilize it to its best use.

CCP is very busy at work.

Dropsuits are more like diving suits, they're very tight fitting and even have plumbing connections!

Then the armor padding is placed then woven in is all the circutry and power and systems such as shields and sensors, then armor plating, Only the heavy suit has additional servos mostly in the back and arms and legs for lifting.

Hence the gravity generated core for the kinetic damage :P Its not exactly a black hole gun but its pretty close for the limited tech we have now.

Its is a hybrid weapon, just the gravity generated is sufficient enough to have mass. It just causes a large amount of kinetic damage unlike most traditional energy weapons which causes thermal and explosive like damage.

Last I remember reading, the guns in Dust are powerful enough that they would rip off the arm of someone shooting them without suit, so considering they're so powerful, how aren't they powered exo suits? With what you said, they're no better than today's SCUBA dry suits.

I started it as a forge gun conversation. Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

You set yourself up for that one. I saw the opening and just slide right in there. It was for the lulz. Don't be so srs it's not healthy. A decent player would have laughed.

So you where the one being a.... well I am to polite to call you that. So I shall whiny brat. And this forum is brutal make a post in rage and they will gobble you up like tomorrow and then feast on your tears.... and bone marrow.

Correct me if I am wrong Wolf, but don't energy weapons traditionally cause thermal and EM damage?
