DUST Search - What is the pilot suit going to do?

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.

I can see a whole bunch of suits being put into the medium frame though. (by frame as In if infantry indicators had 3 different indicators similar to HAVs and LAVs and 'MAV's) No one race is going to have a 'frame' exclusively to itself but as you can see on how they picked the initial layouts of who got what will give you a good idea on how each race will play out or if there is a new 'frame' introduced who is likely to have it. For example Pilot suit mantra is very much in line with Gallente, while crusader mantra is very much in line with Amarrian. a commander suit is probably more of a Caldari aspect. Also commander suit was formerly the squad leader suit but no longer, it will be the battlefield commander suit in the future. I would also like to state that ccp does have a language issue their lexicon dictionary is very inconsistent. So to clear things up Every race will get assaults, logistics, heavy, scout, pilot, and crusader (eventually commander) eventually.
