King Thunderbolt -- an outspoken authority on the subject -- has indicated the following (paraphrased):
The problem with the Shotgun is based primarily on the weight of the Shotgun. If is not underpowered or overpowered, except for sometimes. But all the time it is not heavy enough to be a real-life shotgun. When CCP makes the Shotgun heavy, not a heavy weapon but a light weapon, like Shotguns should be, then people won't complain about the Shotgun because of its weight. |

Personal Opinions:
Standard Shotgun: We won't know if it is balanced or not until it performs reliably (hopefully by 1.6).
Breach Shotgun: Needs work. |

Agreed.
Less drop-off and/or a meter or two added range would likely suffice.
Nothing on scale with Chromosome though.
Peppering mercs half-way-across-the-map was a tad redongculous.

Excellent writeup.
Agreed.
Shotguns and corresponding Skills scale quite poorly when compared to those of other weapons. |

* Raises tiny Scout hand *
Option A) Buff shotgun damage, optimal range and/or fall-off penalty.
Option B) Rebalance automatic ARs and ScRs such that the SG may excel in its niche capacity.
