A reminder to CCP, new players need things like MLT versions of weapons to ease them into the game. The alternative is something like making alts to try weapons which isn't an efficient use of time. The more time spent on a single character, the more investment new players will have in the game.

Also, with militia weapons, it means you can put them on starter fits.

You know what we need with new weapons? A full set of MLT versions. You shouldn't be adding the new guns to the game without them.

I don't play EVE, and I try to mostly base my perception of the racial differences in Dust of what devs have said here. Google tells me there's Khanid (Amarr) Ships that use missiles (based off Caldari apparently), but that doesn't seem entirely appropriate for ground-based AV (Amarr would've developed that in their own conflicts prior to ever meeting other races).

It's not clear to me if EVE weapons have branding in the same way that Dust ones do, or at least the flavor text on things like laser turrets does little to indicate who developed them. The ships have bonuses, the weapons seem more like passive receivers of the various bonuses available.

So, I have know idea what the Amarr manufacture in EVE (could be anything I guess), but their weapon specialties seem to be more defined by their ship bonuses as near as I can tell.

I did see a "crystal" for use with lasers that only did Electro-magnetic (no thermal damage). Though it's unclear to me how useful or desired a weapon would be in Dust if it did only shield damage (no armor). I guess that'd be like a "flux" gun. It might be more palatable if it did at least some nominal damage to armor, like 180% shield damage, 20% armor damage.

That's probably not a practical AV or Sniper replacement weapon though.

I'd be in favor of adding ANY more MLT items, since they seemed to have dropped the idea post-release (how many MLT items can you name that came out AFTER 5/14?).

An Assault version of the Scrambler would probably ease people into the game better than a charge-shot overheat-machine anyway.

all theyed have to do is sligh apperance change and increase pg/cpu for a mlt version

While your at it, all militia gear should be unaffected by skills. This way it incentivises the use of normal gear which is far superior. You can then run free mlt suits but at the expense of skill buffs.

the Amarr starter suit the militia medium frame needs a low slot with a armor rep in it.
the amarr medium frames militia and higher need to have the same number of module slots has the rest of the other races witch is 7 3 at militia 4 at basic 5 at advanced and 7 at prototype.
