...they'd not get all the 'experience' gained since the last update if they die. So, maybe they'd start to fall behind the SP/XP/whatever of others who survive the fights if they suicide too often.

If so, and I'd support that dynamic being implemented, it would come down to the trooper/leader making an opportunity cost decision.  Maybe a good use for throw-away DUST alts?

They float naked in their own piss with pipes sticking out of their asses. Sure, what's not to respect?

Which reminds me that the latest EON has some good knowledgebase stuff about pod goo.

Hm, what's a "privateer" in EVE context? The militias are effectively privateers in some regards, like what Shaalira brought up in another thread

Between this and the Incarna trailer from a while back, the 'podsuits' theory has been rather effectively shot dead.

The Vherokior is looking over her shoulder at me as she slides out of the dirty robes around her, revealing a head-to-toe capsuleer’s pod suit beneath, black with white linings. Must by a YC111 style.

I am so very much looking forward to DUST. I do hope, however, that they set things up so that stealth and finesse have a place.

My favorite FPS is one where the other side has no idea it's in a battle; there's nothing like sneaking into the middle of a hostile camp in Far Cry 2 with the difficulty cranked to maximum and executing the entire staff one by one with a silenced pistol before anybody even spots the first body.

Tee-hee.

Of course, that's PvE. Stealth can be hard to work in a multiplayer FPS: most players go for the loud and powerful approach, and overall stealth seems to take a tertiary role in virtually any game that isn't specifically designed to circle around that and virtually nothing else (the "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" multiplayer being a good example).

I'm hoping that there will be some nice stealth elements mixed in with all the "space marine" -ness of it all, but I'm not holding my breath.

Ahh good old Prime Fiction contradictions my old friend, how have I missed thee 

[Seriphyn]

Well, I think "sticking out of ass" is just a figure of snarky speech.

[Casiella]

I distinctly recall a developer (Dropbear, maybe?) saying that using a suit or not was essentially a matter of individual preference.

[Saede Riordan]

Well, I think "sticking out of ass" is just a figure of snarky speech.

I rather doubt it...some capsuleers never leave their pods...clearly it has to go somewhere and into the pod fluid seems like a bad option, therefore the ass tube is actually fairly likely.

And yes, that's disgusting.

Fixed an error in Chronicle “The Hanging Long-Limb” where it was implied that capsuleers routinely spend weeks or months at a time in the capsule without emerging.

It is very much an exception to remain in the capsule.

I don't see the problem.

Ahh, I thought it was implied that everyone who doesn't explicitly leave the pod, IE: RPers, stay in the pod most of the time.
