I like mecha as much as the next gear head, but I though they weren't going to be available at launch?  But other than that...

Bring me my black armor mech, mount with shield and missile, for we go to war.  (If I ever get a PS3).

I can't wait to see the Amarr MTAC. I Imagine it'll look something like...



Stomping across the battlefield screaming PRAISE THE LORD while blasting energy weapons.

Alas, if it's anything like the tanks we've seen in DUST, they'll probably be very similar to the other races' versions.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

Esna if you dont have an Amarrian merc group made up of nothing but female DUSTers named "the Harem" we're going to have problems...

MTACs (Mechanized Torso-Actuated Chassis) are metal exoskeletons used for heavy duty mining work. They are armed with mining lasers and can be remote controlled or worn by miners ...


I am imagining a sudden surge of Dust 514 mining corps.

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Edit: NSFW link, compulsive clickers, given that someone just almost opened the following link at work. : |

Clearly not, when there are much lighter versions available, even with convenient light weaponry for self defense. Not exactly worksafe, mind.

That made my morning.

Something I wish we did see more of is outright zealotry from the Amarrian military.  IE you know how today's crazy Jihadits are constantly screaming "ALLAHU AKBAR!" and firing Kalishnakovs?

It's not the same aesthetic by any means, and we'd have to think of a non-cheesy way to convey the sentiment, but I really wish we saw more outright religious zealotry. It's not much of a 'crusade' unless the front line troops are absolutely nuts and carrying a banner or shouting scripture as they head into battle.  But in a cool sci-fi way of course.
