I wonder if all the starting suits will still feature the Assault/Plasma rifle or the relevant racial equivalent. The new rifles are all quite simple but still a little bit different from a standard fps rifle... what do you think?

Caldari starting fittings featuring the rail rifles - charge time is the only thing weird, the small clip will make it hard for CQC so it sounds more like a specialist's weapon, not something everyone would feel comfortable starting with.

Amarr starting fittings featuring the scrambler rifles - this would be by far the most different rifle with charge and overheat mechanics. Again, this may be too much for newberries.

Combat and assault/plasma would problaby be fine though. I think they should keep the gallente AR as the standard for new suits, what do you think?

Sure it would be nice to have a BPO with a scrambler rifle in it but... I wouldn't' be very happy if I were a newb and my starter fittings had a complicated weapon that frequently blew on my face, right?

I thought we were asking for a Blaster Rifle? It's not Plasma unless it's bright green like in Fallout, soz.
