Can i help if if im gallente and think amarr suits are sexy?

if you want team spirit just squad up with corp mates willing to all wear the same race of suit.

Everyone should start with all choosen racial basic dropsuits skills at 3. Yup, I said it.

If you pick ammar you should get the light medium and heavy at 3. Because this is core to the game, and there are still over 30 years of skills to train. You'd still have 3 other races to train into basic suits.

Make people pay AUR to use the bonused suits without skills, that's what people want to try before they buy.

Mercenaries will use the best weapon for the job and kill whomever it pays the most to kill.

They are businessmen, not idealists.

Our loyalty is to the Almighty ISK. If you want loyalty, be prepared to pay for it.

THANK YOU. I've been saying the same thing. Race and Factions doesn't even apply in this game. In FW if i'm Gallente i can fight for Caldari? WTF? The game is mixed up you see people with different race dropsuits on 1 team. And if i'm Gallente I can pick another races dropsuit? LMFAO then whats the F*** point of having a Faction and Race??? Whats the point of the Story? Same with PC were in the same Alliance fighting each other over planets?? This game is just thrown together without any true thought.

I understand where you are comming from. Amar have the sexiest looking dropsuit (dat trenchcoat), but at the same time, this isnt fashion514. We are at war and each faction hates each other to some degree but in-game it doesnt feel like that. I feels like recess time at an elementary school

Yeah but we still came out of a faction training program. We should know how to use our own suits.

While this may be true, when joining a match you dont see a "Corp A will pay X amount of ISK for beating the crap out of Corp B" Therefore, unless we start seeing this happen, then were are not really fighting for money are we? We are blindly shooting other players and wont know what our wage is until the end. In fact, what if a Corp hires you u to fight but only pays 100isk per kill but u didnt know this until the end once you get paid? there is a serious flaw here.

That makes logical sense, but you would be asking players to pick a suit based on lore before they saw the stats.

hmmm

Well isn't CCP adding a training mode? To test weapons and suits? I remember hearing something about it at fanfest. So if that's the case couldn't they make it accessible before even creating a character?

Maybe even add in some NPC drones to shoot at or something.

Locking suits and factions by your chosen race is ******** and incredibly hard to balance unless all the assault/logi/heavy suits are the same across all races.

Also, my Caldari character in EVE flies Guardians and Scimitars often. It wouldn't make sense for us to be locked in DUST.

[edit] And OP, I really hope your "Raging Pack of Homos" corp is as into RP as you seem to be. Must be fabulous.

It's this thing called ideals. Not everyone will agree with their groups way of doing business or it's politics. There will always be dissenters in any faction, ethnicity, culture or nation. The reason most games or almost all games lock you to a side is it is easier to show everything as black and white instead of realistic shades of gray.

"Buy Amarrican,support your empire's dropsuit industry"

So half of the American army plus Half of england army can choose sides with the Russian Army to fight against the American p army and the half of Russia's Army. Doesn't make any sense right? Well, thats how Dust 514 is.

Lore wise it makes sense that DUST mercs would lose their connection with a faction if not the entire human race.

Capsuleers wear custom clones and rarely die which allows them to remain connected to their past lives. Mercs on the other hand wear generic clones and jump several times per battle. After several months of that how could you even relate to mortals, much less identify with them?

We are far more likely to identify with each other, despite any internal rivalries. Killing each other isn't personal, it's just business. We are all going back to are MQ at the end of the day, so there is no reason we can't get together for a drink after the battle.

After years of battle and watching empires rise and fall we will feel outside it all. The factions created us to serve their ends, but we have become a new race apart from them with our own agenda. Watch the latest EVE trailer for the warning to mortals that we are rising up as a new superior race.

@cy6: To the OP, I would agree with you but it prevents one thing. With that you would be locked into a certain race.

CCP wants this to be a sandbox game. More than that, it's a game that offers flexibility. What if one day you choose that the race you chose (assuming based on your profile) that you hated the Amarr and their evil ways of enslaving the Minmatar and decide to join a freedom faction that fights for Minmatar? Under your system, you can't do that and would have to re-roll a character that was Minmatar. With the current system, you can simply switch over to using Minmatar suits, guns and equipment with no trouble and even carry your dark past with you.

And trust me, there are some EVE players (and Dust players too) who are loyalists. In fact we had an EVE player not too long ago complaining that mercenaries from his alliance were fighting for the opposing team. Which we "gently" reminded him to HTFU and if you want your alliance to be loyal, force your mercs to fight for one side and if they defect, kick them from the alliance.

And right now, it's just Empire factions. Wait until we start striding into null sec...

Individuality. You've heard of right??? It means you make your own choices and decisions with the consequences that follow. Or do you have someone that tells you how and what to think, feel, eat and wear everyday?

i would like to see racial bonuses apply to only that race. For example if i was Caldari but wear Gallente suit, i DO NOT get the Assault or Logi bonus, but if i were Gallente and wore Gallente suits i DO get the bonus. This way, race sctually means something while having the option of investing into other racial suits if they want their slot lineup/cpu/pg/base stats.

Racial bonuses on dropsuit has nothing to do with your racial DNA, it depends on skills you learn & use. For example - you could born as Caldari (you like caldari type, face) but deep in your soul you may hate entire your race... and love Gallente ideology, life style, technology.

LOL'd pretty hard. Can i use this?

You have role play story for your character don't you?

That guy was saying it's realistic when something like this isn't even happening. Ok, so theres ONE army wearing Russian,American and England uniforms, fighting against their own Country's thats setup the same way.

You seem to be mistaking this for a normal FPS when the idea behind it is RPG in the character selection area. On those you pick a side and you're stuck with it till the next match. No real thought involved beyond a click and then shoot the other side. You're welcome to play it that way if you wish. I'm just dropping a hint as to that's not how CCP thinks. Sure, some of the FPS may have added RPG leveling like attributes over the years. But, at their core is still the old select a guy and shoot the other side. There is no role playing mechanics involved in them beyond kill person in other uniform, gain points to level that particular class. There is no thought to making that chracter a person because you're using those pixels for 20 minutes tops and then switching. RPGs are different since the general idea behind them has been creating the ideal of another person.
