In EVE Minmatar are capable of doing all damage types with Projectile Turrets with just very little space needed for the ammo. Their ships have a tendency to shield tanking but most have almost the same amount of Low and Med slots and are thus able to Shield and Armor tank.
According to this pic the Minmatar AR will share the same frame with the SMG and other SMG sub types and thus also be very "versatile". Maybe this will happen with the Minmatar "Forge Gun" and other future Minmatar weapons too?
Now to my idea: Wouldn-Št it look cool if the Minmatar Dropsuits Frames would all share the same inner suit and would be just adapted with plates, some kind of hydraulic system on the jails to strenthen or fasten the movement or other things?
There should be enough things to make them all not look the same but also not too much, so that you can identify the basic inner frame on all.
What do you think? |

Art and Visuals Versatility isn't really a visual motif. The minmatar visual theme is something jerry rigged or shoehorned into functionality. Minmatar visuals are sharp edges, rust-colored metal, and duct tape. Flying Minmatar ships has been described as "like going down a flight of stairs taped to an office chair, firing an uzi in each hand." That's why minmatar scouts looked like they just walked out of the desert on Arrakis (knives help), and the medium suits look like they came out of Fallout. Minmatar stuff isn't pretty, it isn't safe, but it is reliable and good at killing people. Plus, as far as visual design goes, I'm pretty sure the artists at CCP have been doing this a good long while and thought about how minmatar should look a lot longer than any of us.
Hell just read the original post especially the last part. |

They favor Hit-and-Run tactics. I don-Št know how you-Šve come to their tanking style but here my idea is just about their suit design.
PS: It is 2500 km/h fast

PS: It is 2500 km/h fast I've Come to this Conclusion because they have the Lowest Base HP, the Highest Movement Speed, and Ample High Slots, which, Depending on the Players Choice, can be used to Add to their wimpy Base HP, or Make their Weapons Mega Murderous (P.S., if you Convert km to Mi, If I convert my estimate to KM, that is 1126.54 km/h)
I meant the rail gun projectile. This is writen in a description of a rail weapon. |

I think I created a thread about that already.
PS: My idea is just about their suit design, not their stats or slot layout. |

But you won't hit them.
And now let's stop this, it's off topic.

This thread has nothing to do with performance, gameplay, stats or slot layout! It is just about the design of minmatar suits! Why does everybody mean it is about their stats or gamplay? |
