CCP should instead give you a weapon and militia racial suit based on your race. Or maybe even give new players a one time choice of a set of starter fits. Yeah, but I can just as well imagine that CCP is going to change the starter fits to reflect their racial rifle choice once the Rail and Combat Rifles are introduced. At some point, the races will have to play their style and reflect their flavors. So, at that point, Plasma Rifle it'd be, especially considering there'd be a choice in the matter of what weapon you'd like to "specialize" in. It hardly makes sense to have an Amarr-specialized in Scrambler rifles and still have his militia suits contain Assault (Plasma) Rifles. That's my exact point. The racial milita suit would need to have the corresponding racial weapons.
Might need the missing sidearms for that. |

Oh and change SMG to "projectile gun"
Think hard, we want this game to be as unfriendly to new players as possible.
The combat rifle and smg are some of the only ones that might make sense with names as-is. Afterall, HMGs, SMG, and Combat Rifles are existing real-world weapons. It's the ones that aren't kin to current real-world tech that need to be differentiated more. Heavy Machine Gun is accurate enough. Assault Rifle says nothing.
Sniper Rifle as Sniper Railgun or Precision Railgun might make more sense, after all they are introducing a "Precision Rifle" as well. |
