Please Note: This is for when all weaponry and dropsuits have been released and balanced.
Introduction
Other than the 4 main races in New Eden, there are other factions who have their own specialised hybridized variants of current technology. They are often hinted upon all around Dust 514, but youGÇÖve probably not realize that they were a GÇÿFactionGÇÖ. One to mention; Guristas Pirates - The skull with bunny ears that often pops up on the screen in your mercenary quarters. There are many more dotted around with named weaponry and vehicles but to some they wouldn't stand out as if they are a atchley an organised faction; rather just a name given to a said item.
Proposal
I would like to propose more Factional items to be introduced but heres the twist. Like in EVE; being able to use factional gear requires a hybrid of racial skills, to which they often pull traits and bonuses from that said race. For example to use a GÇ£GuristasGÇÖ Assault RifleGÇ¥ would require the following skills:
- Caladri Rail Rifle - Proficiency 3
- Gallente Assault Rifle - Proficiency 3
Summary
To some this might over complicate things but, this would change the pace and bring some balance to cross training into GÇÿFactionalGÇÖ gear.
If there was a "Guristas Logistic Dropsuit" for example; the people who are now getting their Caldari Logistics suits nerfed would already be halfway there (needing to skill into Gallente Logistics) and wouldn't feel like they have wasted any time or skill points. This could even put an end to the idea of a re-spec!
I would love to hear your thoughts on the subject. And if you are one of the many Caldari LogiGÇÖs who are requesting a re-spec; Would this change make you happy? |

Sounds like it would only put re-spec requests at a new high since now instead of needing to start one racial variant from scratch you could possibly need to start two from scratch. Also this wouldn't work in the current skill tree where nothing has co-requisites. |

I suppose it would only be for dedicated players and if those Factional variants had a good enough stats to skill into.
But of course it shouldn't work with the current skill tree as theres no current hybridized variant items in game for there to be skills sets for.
Thanks for the input though o7 |

But even then its not about being dedicated its about how long it would take to get into that gear. CB Vets been around for 12 months, OB vets been here four months, while its a good idea and I want to see it done one day this wont solve respect claims because FPS players do not want to be stuck in one specific play style for X months or Weeks. |

When has Faction gear in EVE have a prereq? I don't remember them ever having them, nor do they have them now.
Peace, Aizen 
P.S. funny how you try to talk down people about lore and get a weapon's simple name wrong (refering to the Plasma Rifle). Nice try though  |

I like it so I can use these skills in GARs when I go to CRRs.
It would give usages to these skills that some of use will never use again.
Won't do anything to respecs, but will be a nice addition that would give a purpose to diversification. |

Um, since always? The major factions require only lvl 1 in their respective skills, but the pirate factions have always required 2 major race skills. The only gear in EVE that has no skill prereqs are civilian stuff.
Funny how people who talk about people talking down to others don't know **** about what they're trying to talk about. |

Yeah I really think you need to get your facts straight before you try and put someone down and fail like you have.
- Most faction gear requires a hybrid of skills (the factions IGÇÖm on about is not the 4 main factions like I already stated.) Heres a link to the Guristas GÇÿWormGÇÖ- it requires Caldari Frigate III & Gallente Frigate III.......
- And I didn't get the weapons name wrong or confused with the GÇÿPlasma RifleGÇÖ (which doesn't exist; maybe your getting confused with the GÇ£Plasma CannonGÇ¥?). I was referring to the GÇ£Caldari Assault RifleGÇ¥ which is called a GÇ£Rail RifleGÇ¥, you can check out the name of unreleased weapons at this Dev Blog posted by CCP.
Thanks for your GÇ£constructive criticismGÇ¥ though. |
