Everything Dies Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 229	Posted - 2013.11.21 21:52:00 - [1] - Quote Given how little range the shotgun has, would the game benefit if shotguns were turned into sidearm weapons? Currently, shotguns are run almost exclusively by scout suits or scout-like suits (using dampeners on a medium frame) as speed and/or stealth is a requirement for maximizing their potential. But what if most any suit could use them in combination with a longer-range weapon? Rifle/SG combo, sniper/SG combo, etc. Would this help or hurt the game? Life is killing me.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 5228	Posted - 2013.11.21 21:55:00 - [6] - Quote Then what will be the point of running commando suits then? The shotgun is a potent weapon right now and it has the power of a light weapon. CCP, thank you for hotfixing the knives. But please make sure they're at their full potential in 1.7.

I'm fine with the latter though. Not the most broken thing.... I was going to list some things in the first draft but I thought that if I did it would cause this thread to de-rail into another argument. You know, what usually happens when I say things like... "Tank". Check out my corp's new website here :D -HAND
