Fitting your Dropsuit and Vehicles

Dust 514 Fitting Screen.jpg

Fitting Screen

Like Eve, the fitting screen is where you prepare your Dropsuit or Vehicles for combat. In the way that ships in Eve have CPU and Powergrid (PG) capacities so do Mercenary Dropsuits and the attack Vehicles they use. There is no capacitor to worry about

Each one has High and Low Slots for modules which effect the abilities of the Dropsuit. There are also slots for weapons and equipment such as Repair Tools or Nano-hives.

In the above picture the suit being shown has two High Slots on the upper left and one Low Slot on the upper right.

Beneath the two High Slots there are two Weapon Slots, one Light and one Sidearm.

Underneath the knees are, on the left, a grenade slot and on the right knee an equipment slot.

Different suits offer other combo's of slot layout which allows for very precise customisation for the role on the battlefield you want to play. The higher tier Assault Dropsuits have four Highslots, three Low and two Equipment slots. With the right support skills, Merc's wearing this gear can be devastating on the battlefield.

But of course If you die in Dust you lose the gear you're wearing and you need another set of it for your next clone. A poor performance can get very expensive.

Weapons, Modules and Equipment

Every piece of gear, be it for Dropsuits or Vehicles in Dust has a CPU or PG requirement. These come from the Dropsuit or Vehicles. To begin with lower level Dropsuits have enough to power and run the higher tier modules or weapons, nor do you have the skill to operate them anyway. But with Skill Points and Isk won in battle you can purchase Skill Books that will enable you to run your Dropsuit more effectively, increasing its CPU and PG output, while at the same time learning skills that lower the CPU and PG requirements of your equipment. This also true of Vehicles and the modules available for them.
