it doesnt affect it in EVE, why should it in dust? your affects and abilities are should not be something given, only earned through player actions

a minmatar merc fighting for amarr will get the same benifits as an amarr, why? because he fought and worked for them, not because he was given them at the beginning.

amarr who is in high standings decides to defect to minmatar will be punished with the low status with minmatar from fighting against them by choice, delaying the time that he will be rewarded with access to minnie faction items.

Im highly against any race bonuses because those are not earned or affected by actions, and you cannot cross train and get creative with crazy fittings.

Its very very rare, but sometime you will see a minmatar ship using amarr guns. its not as effective statistically, but its not expected, making it effective when put in use.

race bonuses would abolish the creativity that can happen with fitting because why use a laser as a minnie when you get 25% more damage for using a minnie gun? they know whats coming and you wont using anything else ever

I have to agree with the others, we are not racist and there is no need to promote racism. Racism was why almost everyone rolled Caldari when EVE first came out. Caldari had a really good racial ability. However I think its also due to how awesome the corporate life is lol. But yes EVE had Racism and then they took it away. That is why you don't see it here.


Your race will play an important part when the facial portrait thing comes out.

Did you even read the entire thread or bother to look at the spreadsheets?

What does....

How is it...

I just cant...

/facepalm

I don't really consider my "picture" as being very in depth and immersive character development. It's has no bearing on functionality whatsoever. In my proposal you would be able to train into the skills of another Race and Bloodline it would simply take more SP than the skills of your own. Please, when you can, take a look at the spreadsheets and everything proposed therein. Then leave feedback on what you like about it or whqt you would change. I did spend quite a bit of time coming up with all of this, and would not have you simply dismiss it in its entirety so easily.

Yea sure, I can do that. If all you mean is just a SP boost for Race and Ally skills, then that shouldn't be to big a deal. However it does run into the problem that a Newberry has no idea which weapon works best and would probably just want to reroll his toon as soon as he realizes that the Lazer Rifle wasn't what he thought it would be and the Railgun was much better and that like 3 Million SP mountain to go to Railgun 5 with upgrades is alittle to high to climb.

You're right, our ideas are similar. Though I do like idea of the Merc Cultural tree, I'm afraid that by allowing so many bonuses that apply at all times might give rise to a race of super-supersoldiers that no new player would have a chance to fight against.

I also still prefer grouping suits based on race not class. It feels right to me to have similar tech grouped together.
