I don't think shotguns will fit into the Amarrian weapon ideology.
Much like in their culture Amarrians prefer to be pin-point and precise. Using "gods" holy light to vanquish their enemies.

Maybe if it was like a Slug round. A huge intense short pulse of light that decimates enemies shielding.

King Thunderbolt -- an outspoken authority on the subject -- has indicated the following (paraphrased):

The problem with the Shotgun is based primarily upon the weight of the Shotgun. It is not underpowered or overpowered, but is absolutely underpowered, except for the times when it is overpowered. But all the time, it is not heavy enough to be a real-life video-game Shotgun. When CCP makes the Shotgun heavier, not a heavy weapon but a light weapon, like Shotguns should be in concept, then people won't complain about the Shotgun. Because of its weight.

King Thunderbolt has Evidence which not only explains but proves the above weight problem with the Shotgun. I admit to having had difficulty following his logic, and would very much like to learn more.

Deleted :D

I find myself getting one shotted at 10 meters by a Shotgun. I don't know if it's because I suck or not lol

BALANCED AS HELL. Its ******* epic!

Yeah until you get Freedom'd by someone who turned around and say you in a scout suit

Seriously You make WAY too many posts about how you have a Freedom Mass Driver and Proficiency 5. How about in every post I make, I boast about having a Duvolle?

I understand the Shotgun has bad hit detection, but if the hit detection issues were ever fixed, who would say that the shotgun is "Balanced," or at the very least, not UP?

Get your shotty buffed and my heavy suit fixed so we can fight it out!

Amen to that, my fat brother!

My shotgun is hungry but its underpowered :( Fix hit detection!

SGs could use a little more range. It always seems like there's that last sliver of health the gun can't seem to reach.

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.

The sg an nk are supposed to be fixed next patch.
I think that a proto an damage mods should drop med frames in one shot if the range is what it is. But sometimes it takes 3 to a starter fit an their ar still kills you in under a sec.
But if they increase the range an fix hit detection all the good shotgunners are gonna be the reason in two weeks your gonna see AR users posting shotguns are op threads everywhere.

We're used to them being crap so just wait till the patch cuz if they end up working as good as they should, shottys are gonna scare the crap out of people cuz people that don't use them have no clue how broken they are and their gonna be crying when they work.

Good scouts have no problem sneaking an getting the shot, the only reason targets are living through this is because of busted detection, so they have no clue how deadly life's gonna be in a week if the patch works an every shot lands.

Excellent writeup.

Agreed.

Shotguns and corresponding Skills scale quite poorly when compared to those of other weapons.
