I think that when ambulation comes out, if we see Gallentean soldiers walking / guarding the stations they should look like these guys: The Helghast from Killzone.
They have that 'Gallente' look about them no? Mabye with green glowing eyes instead of red. but they look awsome. And Gallente soldiers could look like this if ccp decides to bring station combat into the equation.

Yes I have to agree.
Those picks have certain 'industrial' caldarish look to them. Amarr would be golden stormtrooper or medieval knight ... Most likely all space combat troops would have full body suits, so for gallente something more greenish and smooth with a sensor drone hovering over their shoulder or something like that.
Minmatar, thats a bit hard one but propably something beaten looking and from exsisting stuff something on the lines of fallout 3. Not very jury rigged looking as it's most likely that their space based troops would be equipped properly even if planetside troops might use whatever they can land their hands on to do the job.

I reckon the OP doesn't look Gallente. Nor do I think that's proper for the Caldari. It looks too retro-futurist altogether. In fact, I think a lot of the armed troops and spec ops must look very similar, perhaps with different colors signifying their allegiance, as well as varying weaponry. After all, they're all human and have the same needs and weaknesses. So function > form for worn military gear is my guess. It would possibly not be until vehicles are used that you would notice stark contrasts in design.
That said, the dominant cultures of the four races may affect decals or other minor details. For instance, I imagine the corporate culture of the State makes this concept look quite Caldari (note the decals on the gun).
The Gallente may wear their ideology proudly in the form of trinkets, as well as write messages on bombs and shells perhaps being quite common. |

its a common misconception that the gallenteans were designed to be a bunch of democratic hippies. THEY WERENT. it doesnt mean they cant look cool :P
i think their armor does look Gallentean in design, it has a grey, almost green tint to it. and its round and smooth in nature (just look at the helmet). if it were caldari they would have more straight edges, maybe even plating.
just look at this guy in the background, looks pretty similar eh http://bestgamewallpapers.com/files/eve-online/gallente.jpg

Edited by: Eran Laude on 09/01/2009 19:38:10 Ambulation troops:
Gallente: - Organic-looking armour, probably fairly smooth with bumps in several places, like many Gallente hulls. - High-rof, damage plasma weaponry with a very short range in rifle, carbine, pistol, and heavy weapons formats; attack drones of different sizes to provide recon, assault and heavy weapons capabilities instead of a sniper class; combat knives - Relatively mobile, well-armoured with capability to fight remotely through drones or to charge in for the kill with plasma weaponry
Caldari: - Industrial-style medium armour providing minimal protection with personal shields for troopers - Mix of Medium/low-rof medium/high-damage high-range railgun rifles for snipers; medium/high-rof, low/medium-damage, medium/low-range railgun weaponry in assault, carbine and pistol formats; missile launchers for heavy weapons; combat knives - Best at range, only race to have effective personal shields, can move in with medium-rof automatic railgun rifles if need be but better to get far away and pick targets off with consummate ease, very destructive advanced missile launchers for heavy weapons with a variety of different missiles to fire
Amarr: - Smooth, arching armour designs - heaviest but best-armoured of all troops, have power-armour facility allowing amarrian troops to wield large melee weapons when the battle gets into CQB, but drains power from armour, depleting - Medium-low rate of fire, medium-high damage, medium-range laser weaponry in sniper, heavy weapons, assault, carbine and pistol formats, carry swords of varying sizes for CQB rather than combat knives - Best armoured, balances average laser weaponry with power-armour-augmented CQB weaponry that causes huge damage
Minmatar: - Light armour designs protecting critical areas but providing maximum mobility, equipped with a medium-strength personal shield - Medium-range, medium/high-damage, high-rof chainguns in assault, heavy weapons, pistol and carbine formats; missile launchers for heavy weapons; low-rof, very high-damage, long-range rifles for snipers; Khumaaks rather than combat knives - Can fight at any range with a variety of weapons, highly mobile, weak, but rechargeable, defensive shields, heavy weapons specialists get choice two heavy weapons [launcher and heavy chaingun]

Keep in mind that the Gallente are also influenced heavily by the Jin Mei (my avatar's race) so the Gallente soldiers might also have short Katana-esque hand swords. Which would be incredibly cool to see on an avatar.
As far as general design influence goes, The Gallenete would absolutely have a smooth, organic, and bluish-colored design. Something along these lines, but more blue-greenish, or maybe full-on freaky organic, like the "chigs" from "Space, above and Beyond".
The Caldari would probably look alot like this guy or these guys but with more grey.
The Amarr are pretty easy actually. Think space-suit-ish golden knight's armor. Maybe something along these lines.
Minmatar would be the toughest, since they are a tribal culture and usually have kinda hodge-podgy looking ships. Probanly some freaky Steampunk kind of armor. Like This, or this, but with lots of brownish colored metal and natural materials.
Those are my ideas. Thoughts? |

Actually Ive seen a picture the art director of eve, gallente soldiers are pertty normal looking, the armor they have is rounded though probably designed to deflect any shot that isnt going into it straight on. Squad leaders seem to have backpacks specifically designed to deploy small drones probably for scouting or defense. thier armor color was brown though probably to help match the desert but overall its probably done this way artistically to have it stick out of the picture in contrast instead of having it blend in.
unfourtunatly the site the picture is hosted on http://staff.ccpgames.com/asgeir/gallery/index.php is entirely broken and I cant link it to you guys.
Caldari soldiers would look like the one painted in the story chronicle picture in EON 001 "shock trooper" I think it was.
I have yet to see any picture that would resemble an amarr soldier Minmatar are probably militai like, not sure what a standard army unit of minmatar would be running around in though.

Edited by: Sniper Wolf18 on 10/01/2009 00:48:43 IF eve were an FPS
Gallente should probably look a little like this, helmet wise anyways, would probably have an advanced version of power armor or similar. Would be armed with hand-held coilguns, firing armor pericing bullets, with a plasma rifle as a secondary. Maybe incorporing some sort of octo-camo from MGS4?
Caldari; pretty much like the guy on the OP; elitish looking soldier with full black armor. Would probably be armed with a gun that fires homing bullets, like the bullseye in resistance, with an ultra-long range sniper rifle as secondary. Would probably have some sort of radio jammer.
Minmatar: less green and more rusted looking would probably creak alot due to lack of maintanence. Would be armed with an assault rifle and a grenade launcher. Would probably have some sort of laser designator.
Amarr: Like this but in gold. could encorporate a set of wings like an angel? Would be fully sealed off from the outside world, only radio signals could get in - has its own life support system. Would be armed with a laser rifle and a flamethrower. Would have "vampire" attachments, allowing it to draw power from nearby sources, allowing it to boost the suit's armor capibilites and prefrom field maintainance. Would also charge the laser rifle.
EDIT: looking at Eran Laude's post, this would probably only apply to elite or heavy troops seeing as his is more fitting to general tech.
By the way, does it annoy you when you didnt realise that you were reading my sig? |

Everyone will use something practical. There'd be a lot less variation than there are in ship and station design. Just look at the field equipment of Earth's various national armies today. It doesn't really matter what culture they come from; everyone uses stuff that looks similar to what other countries with the same level of defense budgeting use.

All four main factions have "Asian" bloodlines, and the Caldari are the ones with the Japanese-influenced theme. I mean their navy NPC ships are called things like "katana" and "wakizashi". Their names are very Japanese-sounding also.
The minmatar are pretty low-tech compared to teh other race, but they're not "steampunk" by any means. I think they've advanced just a bit past steam-powered engines. Top-hats, polished brass and pocket-watches, are not Minmatar at all. Minmatar would be more cyberpunk or post-apocalyptic.

I'd think the Gallente would forego any simple marine gaurds and go for all snipers in the shadows.

Starship Troopers was the first novel I read as a child, beginning to end. I was pretty disappointed in the movies, from that perspective, though taken in a generic space movie context, they're entertaining.
There was another Heinlein book made into a movie: The Puppet Masters. Not something I suggest people run out and rent. The movie, which is in all likelihood based on that novel, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (the first one, from the 50's) was much better.
Heinlein started to get pretty weird towards the end of his career, to be honest.

Jin Mei is more like a Chinese name, while katanas are Japanese. Achura ninjas should have katanas :P ---

Well, EvE has space pirates. It's only obvious that there are space ninjas, somewhere. The problem is that they're so ninja that no one knows that they exist.

Edited by: Mithfindel on 03/04/2009 11:34:45 Well, based on what we've seen this far, glimpse there, glimpse here: Amarr: - Line troops aren't likely True Amarr. You'd have a good amount of 'lesser' races fighting for the Empire. Gear would vary depending on the task, though mostly cheap massproduced equipment and minimal protection with the possible exception of camouflage. - Elite troops being brainwashed Kameiras (mainly Brutors brought up to think of themselves as Amarr, but still "expendable" troops - if you're a Kameira vet, the fact that you're alive means you're badass). Similar to the other line regiments, except that they, due to their usual tasks of assaults & similar high-threat missions would have better and heavier equipment, possibly even light armour. Here we'd see smart guns etc. See the Kameiras chronicle for image of "Kameiras in training". - Perhaps few Khanid Cyberknights. Depending on the modification anything from a cyber ninja to walking, talking tanks to a commander with implants for C3I. - Amarr Paladins would be reserved for the high-profile tasks. There's you're pious paladins in polished (power)armour. - Highest officer positions would be reserved to Amarr and the more 'enlightened' bloodlines, though the Army might be a bit more meritocratic than the Empire in general. Separate races form their own regiments, though. - Many second-line tasks would be likely taken care by religious militants. Gear may vary from cloak & dagger to the best of the best, depending which Holder backs them and what they're doing.
Caldari: - Line troops do likely wear mass-produced body armour (which may or may not be actually bulletproof). Pretty much our current-day military level, with enhanced C3I and extrapolated weapon power & armour quality. Exact types would depends on the exact corp, with Home Guard (KK) and Ishukone Watch being top-notch PMCs. (See Masks of Authority chron here - also, this pic.) - Individual units equipped as per their tasks, so here we might get even cyberpunk types. Heavy support including mechanized transport and MTAC ('mech') detachments.
Gallente: - Any nationalities from the vast Federation, might be different if you're from a Jin-Mei unit or an Intaki unit - or, say, a Minmatar unit. Mixed-bloodline units likely from areas where immigration has been high. However, units from, say, Intaki V might be pretty uniformly Intaki. - Right now, the Gallente have a nationalist boom going on due to war, but any pre-war units will likely need to supplant manpower with drones. Hi-tech surveillance units, unmanned armed drones etc., though they do also have their all-flesh commando units.
Minmatar: - Might depend on the tribal background, though the Fleet is/was one of the pillars of the Republic, so they would likely have a uniformly-armed Army (or at least Marines) as well. - Expect big guns. Possibly advanced ammunition types. - Pretty much like Amarr Kameiras. - The much-vaunted Valklear Spec Ops teams were, at least during the rebellion, recruited from criminals. Murderers, robbers, you name it. They might still have an aura of heroes, since rebellion was successful and the victors write the history. They might, these days, actually be a real elite unit.
Edit: Asgeir's thumbnails can be accessed in the following manner: where the link says "thumbnailsXX.html", in the matter of fact the real page is "thumbnails.php?album=XX". Still have to figure how to view the pics, but for example, here's one interesting page: http://staff.ccpgames.com/asgeir/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=12

A Kaalakiota marine from Asgeir' website. And what could be a martial law on a Gallente world (or possibly a Caldari one, also). ____________________

A petition. When you actually start a thread saying "Hey guys, imagine these guys as Gallente soldiers", could you please say that in the title?
I was expecting some new Ambulation images, but I've been disappointed. ![ugh](/images/icon_ugh.gif) ________________________________________________
