I don't like the idea that we're restricted to a limited number of weapon variants. In case you didn't know, each variant of a weapon is a factions take on the weapon. Take the assault rifle for instance, the Tactical is to imitate the scrambler rifle, the burst is minmatar tech, etc.
Hopefully I'm not the only one out there, but I don't like this idea due to the following reasons.
1. Lack of variation
2. Restricted to factional weaponry
3. Boring
Having each weapon have 3 variants, that all have pretty much predictable traits is boring. There's not much variation in this. I want to see Ishukone's variation of a weapon, or Carthum's, or Lai Dai's, etc. I want to see NPC Corporation variants.
Maybe it's just me. Hopefully other people feel this way. |

The lack of 'variation' as you put it will be alleviated. CCP has said not all weapons are in the game atm. Each 'racial' variant will get a unique to semi-unique weapon style.
Minmatar are Projectiles (Probably equating to Modern-day Tech)
Gallente are Plasma Based (already see a fair few Plasma-based Weapons... including the Assault Rifle
Amarr are Laser Based (Scrambler Rifle is supposed to be their Assault Rifle variant.
Caldari are Missile and Rail-based. (Already see a fair bit of these in Swarm and Sniper Rifles)
The Variants are not 'racial takes' on the weapon, but there to add diversity.
When the other weapons are introduced, as well as 'Weapon Sub-systems' which are on the backburner, you will get that expanded fitting feel. |

You are aware that corporations have variants within the weapon types, right? Like there's an Ishukone SMG? Carthum Assault Scrambler? Allotek Plasma Cannon?
I think a few even have multiple corps making variations of the same weapon. |
