All the pro arguments seem to want more creativeness when it comes to their character. Most con arguments on this thread are about it being unrealistic. Personally, I'm siding with the creativeness party. Realism isn't important in a universe like eve. Let's not forget that artillery, a weapon used in our current age, is used more now than railguns, a much more advanced and powerful piece of technology. Rustbuckets can defeat heavily plated beasts, despite the heavy ships having advanced weaponry (rustbuckets being minnie and heavy plates being Amarr/Gallente). There's so much more unrealistic things about this game too. Honestly, it's more realistic to have women-warriors than artillery beating railguns.

also

eve and realism should never been in the same sentence

women over artillery beating railguns is a expectation!

They all wear body armor and closed helmets. So how can you tell?

Female voice when they die?

*hurk!*

Or form fitting armor? The shape even with armor could show a thinner waist, wider hips and shaped breast plate.

Boobs on the armour?

Frankly, it could be a pair of midgets in that armour, and nobody would be any the wiser.

Frankly for all we know dusk soldiers don't even have a gender as they are essentially modified clones bred for the battlefield.
hence masculine traits should be prevalent as it makes more sense in that perspective.

Stock clones brah, read the chronicles

They may be female before they become clone soldiers but once they get mind transfered once, it's all stock clones

true but maybe thats just the first gen clones/soldier, i have read the chronicles.

maybe i want to spend more $$ for a different body eh?

we get to walk around the barge mass effect style with our face showing so there must be some sort customization.

and am sorry, females can fight too :)

i dont care if its 200 pound Amazon women ..Shocked

but yes armor could look different for females.

They are most likely genderless meat golems.

For a single purpose soldier sex organs are superfluous anyway, so no need to waste resources on developing those assets.

Female attributes would be better though for stealth, more light and limber.

Yay, specially wearing heavy armor and a shield generator as without them the very backlash of their weapons could kill them...Roll

Frankly, the meat golems make more sense. Maybe they can swtich between "battle clone" and a "civilian clone", though...

If you're stealth then why are you wearing heavy armor in the first place? Isn't that counter intuitive tot he whole "light and agile" thing?

And who said the needed to be using a big AR? Couldn't they use a light carbine or SMG with a silenced pistol as back up?

Read the blog about the handheld weapons... even a pistol would melt your fillings w/o a shield. Blink

Quote:
(...)The power of these guns would tear apart a modern day battlefield. In DUST 514 the only way your mercenary can survive the power of these weapons is due to the advanced shielding and armor of the dropsuits they wear. Without them, simply firing these weapons would severely injure or even kill you!


It's not like pew-pew. It's like OMFGWHOOSH!-OMFGWHOOSH!

The only difference that could make a difference between men and women could be that women consume less oxygen due to their lower ratio of muscular mass. But physically... well, here in my corner of world firefighters must meet very strong physical requirements, and guess what? the same tests that push off 90% of the male candidates, also push off 100% of the female candidates. Female candidates are asking to be given either a lead, or to diminish the physical requirements (but that's gonna be difficult, as there are like 90 candidates for each position and the physical test is key to filtering the best).

According to this two year old WIP screenshot, yes.


Those are not dust clones though those are mind control bodies (which may be clones as well we dont know yet)

Dust clones are all copies of the same generic human super soldier ( think storm troopers) the only real difference is that minds are downloaded into the bodies and the infromorphic presence takes charge until the body expires or is no longer needed.

So did I, and considering the kind of technology in those suits i don't think it'd be too bad for a female to wear a slightly scaled back version of the assault suit with high CPU and low powergrid or something with a bit of the servo tech to make it into an exoskeleton that gives the wearer more speed and agility.

For those of you who think women can't be soldiers and particularly ground combat soldiers, I'd like to direct you to this historical example. Miss Pavlichenko She was one of the most successful snipers in history and by extension one of history's greatest soldiers.

Yes snipers are known to be a lttile 'limp wristed' all that playing with there 'scope' most likely. Hardley reinforces your idea females make good front line troops. They just aren't physically strong enough to carry the immense weight of equipment and perform to the physical abilties a man can achieve..

Sorry to break the bad news to you..

I'm sure it will not divert your path of 'feminism' failing to appreciate and aknowledge the beauty and varaiance between the sexes.
