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.

Has CCP actually released info regarding this? Also, what do you want it to do?
Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. CRONOS. 3274	Posted - 2013.03.28 19:36:00 - [2] - Quote 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.

gbghg L.O.T.I.S. Legacy Rising 881	Posted - 2013.03.28 19:40:00 - [4] - Quote I think we can all agree that it's probably going to be one of the small frame suits, and like IWS said probably only going to have a sidearm slot.

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.

Obviously asking because I eventually want to fly an Amarr ship with either Amarr or Caldari pilot suit. But if they take forever to come out everyone will pretty much have to invest in Galenti pilot suits first which isn't ideal.

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. Oh noes! Your DS was blown up by not one but two supermetal slugs travelling well over a mile a second..!? Poor thing. Sorry... I couldn't resist.

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.

Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 336	Posted - 2013.04.02 15:37:00 - [15] - Quote 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.

Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders Red Rock Consortium 461	Posted - 2013.04.02 22:03:00 - [19] - Quote I've been wondering if they are going to split role from frame size. I specialize in logistics but having the option to run a light frame or even a heavy frame depending on the operation could open up some very interesting possibilities.
