Zero Harpuia Turalyon 514 Turalyon Alliance 1126	Posted - 2013.11.09 17:19:00 - [1] - Quote If the Minmatar gets a racial Sniper Rifle and it isn't Bolt Action, I'm going to cry alittle. Maybe alot. Haven't decided yet. ECM Equipment

Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 225	Posted - 2013.11.09 18:28:00 - [3] - Quote Bolt action is good match for Minmatar... Just needs to be ridiculous accurate and hit like a hammer. I am really keen to see what the Caldari Heavy brings to the table. Based on racial play styles the Caldari assault and logi are great flankers and medium-long range skirmishes (particularly with the rail rifle coming on board). My assumption is the Caldari Heavy will be the short to medium range slayer for the Caldari. Ideas on what kind of heavy weapon would be legit for the Caldari?
Joel II X AHPA 105	Posted - 2013.11.09 18:31:00 - [4] - Quote Like the Tactical Sniper That's already out or a burst sniper? Allotek Burst Bolt Sniper... I want my Gallente plasma sniper!

Caldari heavy short to medium range....? First off flux grenades will eat the caldari heavy who can't dodge them. Also the forge is longe range which the caldari MO is long range combat. Below 28 dB
Cosgar ParagonX 7541	Posted - 2013.11.09 18:49:00 - [6] - Quote The prospect of a Minmatar DSR sounds a bit scary to say the least. I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

Sorry, wasn't clear in my post. The theory is that if you have full racial suit it should cover the range of tactical situations while maintain the the Racial style. The thought would be that the Caldari have the market cornered on medium to long range striking power and flankers. They would need something that could close the gap and dominate objectives.

Allotek Burst Bolt Sniper... I want my Gallente plasma sniper! Gallente will probably get a Tactical Rifle/Marksman Rifle if they get a Sniper Rifle due to the inherant short range and rapid fire attributes of Blaster tech. Maybe taking the Tactical Blaster Rifle and making it it's own gun? But where would that leave the Scrambler Rifle? It would still have charge though to differentiate... need other opinions now, I'm stuck. ECM Equipment
Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 10067	Posted - 2013.11.10 00:17:00 - [9] - Quote I think minmatar would be Breach, Gallente Assault, and Amarr Tactical, and imo the charge sniper needs to be the caldari variant.

Making Charged Caldari makes since given that all rail weapons so far (sans other Sniper variants) have had to charge. Even the Rail Rifle. I'm pretty sure that the Charged Sniper IS Breach however, for Snipers anyway. Fits the Caldari model and the Breach model of more damage per clip but less DPS. Minmatar would, in my little world, have variable rounds to chamber, be Anti-Material like a .50 caliber rifle (complete with Experimental Rifle bullet drop), or be single shot-decent reload-more damage per shot (basically Breach, yea). Gallente would be like the TAR, but more range and abit less clip. In fact, we could just take the TAR and call it the Blaster Marksman Rifle and no-one would bat an eye. Amarr I'm unsure about. The Scrambler Rifle is the closest thing to a Marksman Rifle we have ingame, so making an Amarr Sniper Rifle would be tricky without outmoding the basic Scrambler Rifle. Probably give it a further Shield bias, because longer ranged lasers do more shield damage and less armor damage, make it long ranged and designed for painting targets for allies by removing their shields quickly? I've got no real ideas for Amarr :c ECM Equipment

I agree with this wholeheartedly, I always thought all the caldari sniper rifles would have a charge of them Below 28 dB
Monkey MAC killer taxi company General Tso's Alliance 946	Posted - 2013.11.10 00:36:00 - [12] - Quote I think caldari should definitely be charge, minmatar makes sense as either bolt or hammer action for that DIY feel I always thought an amarr sniper would be another laser type, prehaps one that sends high damage pulses across an ionized beam As for gallante what if you made it a shorter range version of the current caldari? The pen is mightier than the sword The gun is mightier than both

I think the Laser is the Amarr sniper rifle. Its a bit short range isn't it? I thought we would get another weapon type for all races that got better the longer you fired! Imagine a plasma lmg that gets faster the longer you fire, or a minmatar that got less recoil, or caldari lmg that increased range as you fired it!

Eh. To an extent. Minmater = long range artillery. Bolt action = reload after every shot = high alpha damage, low DPS. Perfect artillery.

It's pretty long range compared to the other rifles. I doubt ever sniper variant is going to have Caldari level range anyway. As far as weapons that have extra effects the longer you fire, I'm still hoping on a Gallente ~~flame~~ plasma thrower.
