Waiting on CCP Wolfman's blog over this topic myself.
I am theory crafting that its only going to have a side arm slot and has Control Links to increasing vehicle performance.

Honestly I'd be fine with it having no weapons at all. Whenever I call in my dropship, I make sure I'm in a militia assault suit. I figure I will either live out the entire match in the ship, or I will die in it. Either way, no use wasting money on gear I won't use.

You'll live unless some tool in a viper crashes into us.

I seethe with rage when people call in a 140,000 ISK viper with the sole intent of killing my 726,000 ISK Myron.

Dude last night, I had Huntr and Myth in my DS on Skim Junction (my favorite DS map) and we got 2 shotted by a rail. The thing has the best tank I can put on it and it gets 2 shotted. After that, I don't think I'm purchasing another dropship until the patch.

Well if it's a pilot dropsuit I believe once you choose for spawning you'll spawn into your aircraft without having to call RDVs to get one.

All that's been confirmed is that it "improves" your performance in vehicles.

No word on how.

Also, the "small frame" assumption is just that - an assumption. Like people assuming the Crusader Suit (also sometimes called a "Command Suit" based on older info) is going to be a Heavy.

Both of these suits make more sense to be NOT the same size as the confirmed existing suit of that frame size produced by the same race already.

The devs have confirmed that we will be getting racial variants of each frame size soon. That means there will be AT LEAST 3 suits in each size for each Race.

If they stick to the minimum, that means that the Pilot suit and the Crusader suit CAN'T be the same size as their counterparts from the same race. Gallente Pilot would have to be Medium or Large (makes more sense Medium) and Amarr Crusader would have to be Medium or Small (makes more sense Medium).

I think the idea behind the Pilot suit, as well as an early alleged image of one, suggest that it will be a Small suit, but the Crusader sounds like it would be MUCH better suited to being at least slightly more mobile than a Heavy, and is therefore probably Medium instead of the Large many people have suggested/assumed.

Perhaps the abilities we want, such as squad locked vehicles and a kick passenger command will be implemented via modules or equipment. And the pilot suit is tailored to them.

I keep hearing how there will be a Gallente Pilot Dropsuit, but nobody has actually said what it'll do. Has CCP actually released info regarding this? Also, what do you want it to do?

If pilots will get a special drop suit will they make a drop suit for HAV/LAV? If so I'm thinking of a flaming head like Sweet Tooth, especially when Im running people over.
