Greetings fellow mercenaries. I have trained myself in the usage of Amarr dropsuits, and I was thinking of also training myself in usage of Caldari based frames, and I have some questions for users of them.
1.) Do they share the same problem with Amarr heavy suits where the respirator will quickly fill with dust and need cleaning every thirty minutes?
2.) Do Caldari based dropsuits fully replace the skin, or just the epidermis?
3.) When I'm in my leisure clone, without a drop suit, would it be possible for me to enter a caldari dropsuit, or must I be cloned into one?
4.) How does the nutrient slurry used to keep my blood sugar levels up during combat taste?
5.) Are the rumors true about the occasional defective powergrid which leads the user to be electrocuted with the full output of the suit's capacitor?
I appreciate the quick responses. I know these questions must seem mundane, but I do appreciate your response. |

Despite the "image" I project, I haven't actually used these very much since training. However....
1.) The respirator is self-cleansing, for the sake of avoiding needing maintenance at critical moments; if sensors detect dust buildup or other contamination, the suit uses air jets combined with a nano-sifting process I don't really understand to remove the buildup. On the downside, the air jets whistle a piercing soprano C-sharp almost directly in the user's ear.
2.) Caldari dropsuits (like most) do not actually replace the skin; there's still a complete, survivable stock clone under there. They're not especially comfortable, mind you.
3.) It's possible to put a Caldari dropsuit on or take it off, assuming your recreational clone has the same underlying physical characteristics as a stock clone. Otherwise, you'd probably have to look for a baseliner model.
4.) The nutrient system is intravenous. You won't even notice it unless you lift your left shoulder sharply.
5.) If they're true, I've never heard from anyone it happened to. I'd worry more about accidentally tripping the "eraser" early and getting my clone incinerated. |

Everything Yun said is right, with regards to number five that's something the drill instructors tell new cadets so that they don't become lax with regards to suit maintenance. The threat of immolation is usually enough to convince even to most thick skull ed recruit to keep their gear in mint condition. |

Because I'm bored, I will answer the same questions, but about Gallente dropsuits:
1. Most of the dust is filtered before it can reach the respirator, and the air intake holes are placed at the back of the helmet to prevent to minimize any debris or dust entering it, and the little which does is ejected every ten minutes with the same method as Caldari dropsuits.
2. There's still a fully functional dropclone under the dropsuit, but through neural uplinks it is possible to hook up your nervous system to the dropsuit armor, acting like a second skin.
3. No, the Gallente dropsuits are designed to a very specific body and have a bioscanner installed to have the suit functional only to it's designated user. You'll have to look for a baseliner version.
4. None, all necessary nutrients are injected directly into the circulatory system through the combined powerpack and CPU unit in the back of the dropsuit, if you happen to grind your back against a wall upwards you'll feel it.
