Cat Merc BetaMax. CRONOS. 3437	Posted - 2013.07.22 08:52:00 - [1] - Quote What if the current shield extenders and armor plates (for example) are lesser versions that both armor tankers and shield tankers can use, while there are all around better versions of those that are specific to races? Gallente + Amarr = Special Plates Caldari + Minmatar = Special Extenders Examples: Gallente are regenerators from EVE, so give them reactive plates that are exactly like a plate + repairer. Amarr are buffer tankers from EVE, so give them normal plates with 1.5x the eHP. Minmatar I don't remember what they are in EVE, by they are speedy regenerators in Dust with lower eHP, so give them extenders combined with energizers. Caldari I would say give shield extenders with rechargers. Plates and extenders are just an example, plenty of other modules to consider.

Minmitar are dual tankers. Im just using the examples from Eve (yes yes i know dust =/= eve) i doubt they'll restrict modules by a suits race... more likely to restrict who can get the modules and then let them fit to whatever... or sell it

Also, Minmatar are NOT dual tankers, 5 high slots and 2 low slots says it all.

By that example id want to cloak my heavy Faction mods in eve are "slightly" better than the higher end basic mods... and a lot more expensive... officer mods even more so. Minmitar ARE dual tankers, some suits might lend themselfs better to armour or shield, but as a race the have a preferance to speed over anything else

Am I restricted from using faction shield mods as a Gallente? About covert ops, fine, how about weapon systems? Gallente ships don't have missiles for the most part, except for one or two exceptions.
shaman oga Nexus Balusa Horizon DARKSTAR ARMY 343	Posted - 2013.07.22 10:30:00 - [10] - Quote Question: are those modules for your race or for your suit? I mean, i have a minmatar, but i made the error to spec into gallente logi because the bonus was great to play as a logi, i have the minmatar modules but i have to fit them on a gallente suit, how does it work?

Im not saying you couldnt... racial unique items are a common idea in other games... i just think it more likely CCP will continue with the "core principles" kind of thing where race doesnt effect what you can use... dont know \o/ Only weapon system that is unique like that are doomsdays... and theyre more for a particular ship... I could fit lasers on a minmitar ship if i wanted (prob not a good idea but i could) all races use missiles in some recpect

No, I'm talking about the suit. You can be a Gallente with a Caldari suit and you have access to the shield extenders :P
ChromeBreaker SVER True Blood 908	Posted - 2013.07.22 11:46:00 - [15] - Quote no no i know what you mean... caldari suit only items etc... Dont know if it works the same way but heavy suits using heavy weapons sounds similar... but race instead or class... code might already be there?
