Your Race/Characters

Who ya gonna be?

Also, how advanced would you like to see the customization options for your own character?

I haven't found any specifications on how extensive the customization abilities will be, but I believe I remember them talking about being able to choose your own race.

I thought of choosing Gallente because apparently nobody likes them <!-- s:| --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_neutral.gif" alt=":|" title="Neutral" /><!-- s:| -->
But then I saw the back story of the Minmatar and decided to go with them instead.

I might add questions you guys add to this topic by placing them into this post for others to see.

Amarr ships are rarely Phallic, that's up to the gallente over compensators.

But yeah I am going Amarr, or Caldari, Amarr preferably but if Caldari have better equipment I can swing out to our allies. Minmitar are savages and barbarians, they should only allowed to fight if they are on a leash and for our entertainment.

An example, of Amarrian design, the apocalypse, most of its ships follow an inspired design as such;

Hurricane. Awesome choice.

EVERY Tech3 Ship can look good, but it's the minmitar's ONLY ship that doesn't look like garbage <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->. With that, only the Interdictor/Destroyer... Their Huginn looks space worthy, but it's completely worthless... Then there is the hurricane, which I admit, looks pretty cool but this is only 4 ships so far, and the Tech-3 Minnie can either look like complete crap, or just decent.

Everything else looks like haphazardly put together junk and spare parts, you'd think after organizing an actual navy etc they could manage to pull together something Coherent. Gallente also suffer from the only having 4 passable ship problem, Caldari.. Sort of do, but they have about 6-8 ships that look real nice and sleek now, the Amarr all around just have good looking ships, with a few here and there looking outright dumb.. Mauler for instance lol.

BUT! The Mauler can pretty much do anything and EVERYTHING lol... I never flew it often, because of how dumb it looked, but when I did ho boyo, our tackling gang excelled when we did so, interdictor brought them out of warp, and I killed them, tanked them, even webbed them <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->.

I apologize yes, they are nice ships but more race talk pl0x, I would like this to remain unlocked.

Link to this post 25 Jun 10

normally race talk would get a topic locked <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

and maybe say why you like them

caldari-because there cold cool calculating they dont let emotions cloud their judgement but will still fight for their rights (also most advanced)

Link to this post 25 Jun 10

This is race talk <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->. Plus, Cane's are nothing but suicide runners, you want something that stays on the battlefield and puts out the same damage, you go with a Prophecy.

We have to look at the races ships on EVE to judge what we will be expecting in DUST-514, without looking at EVE, we might as well speculate that Spartans will be fighting the Helghast. A battle of which the Helghast would win <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->.

What we have here, we have to guess what we will look like, our stats, equipment, etc, through the ships in EVE.

Do you think the character customization will be more advanced in Dust, considering EVE players currently can't get out of their pods or what they use to pilot (accuracy?)

Link to this post 25 Jun 10

Hmmmm, that I am not too sure of, I have mixed personal opinions considering what CCP is planning to do. There will be customization, there's no doubt to that, but facial marker manipulation is the only question.. As CCP likes its players to have a degree of personal identity in the game, also why they made Tech 3 Strategic cruisers change their appearance as well with their stats, they could have just made stats change lol.

I would like to take the safe side and say there will be limited choices, facial hair, scars, tattoo's, and then set faces with set hair.. But I have a lot of faith in CCP, and I am going to bet that we'll be seeing feature manipulation accustomed to EVE's own system for portraits.

Body type is another thing, body type I believe will be mostly set, if they give us height manipulation then we're going to have a bunch of midgets running around because of their statue. What I am most curious in is if they will allow female avatars!

I agree, I liked using both male and female characters whilst playing StarWars Battlefront II ( Rebel Sniper ) and TimeSplitters 3(sorry about the constant mentioning lol)

But what about clothing? If we reach a certain amount of War Points, perhaps more options of clothing customization such as custom logos on the backs of shirts, cloaks or capes, even?

Link to this post 25 Jun 10

There will be some form of clothing customization for War Bargeness wandering, it'll probably be uniformed and you'll get options based on your race. Meaning 4 or 5 Amarr uniforms for an Amarr player, mix match the pants and shirt, nothing thinking there will be many accessories probably hats.

Logos etc might be out of reach though, there might be &quot;Hey you've unlocked the Imperial Navy insignia&quot; but I don't think custom logos etc will be in there, a lot of ways to abuse the system :p.

Now battle gear, I am betting all the battle gear will be functional, not only cosmetic.

Link to this post 26 Jun 10

i think it will be limited ad it makes sense lore wise there not going to add in that scar for detail in the middle of the fight maybe our war barge character will be more detailed

armour and logos are a must in my opinion armour to express your self and the logo to show your corp
imagine if the SAS didnt have that little british flag

LOOK AT APB CCP USE THERE SYSTEM

and logos could be reported
