I always thought the Caldari were highly mobile, o,o but it makes sense with the Rail Rifle that they're not... It's not a run and gun weapon.
Anyways, yeah this was extremely helpful. I kinda knew most of this already but people constantly suggested we should have "exceptions" and so a brief thread like this was needed.

Anyways, yeah this was extremely helpful. I kinda knew most of this already but people constantly suggested we should have "exceptions" and so a brief thread like this was needed. There are always exceptions and these are just generalizations. The assault rifle variant concept is a good example of this of one race attempting to copy the styles of the others but not being quite as successful.
Don't speak about the AR  It has the lowest DPS right now despite the fact that it should.
But yeah, I mean major exceptions are the issue here. Amarr should have a focus on Armor Tanking with their suits. I can take the Armor Rep bonus for them because it'll help even out things in the end and plus an Amarr assault would probably only use 1 rep anyway.

I will however add that Gallente actually (generally) have the highest raw DPS (still at short range) while the Minmatar have access to the highest alpha, and have very flexible ranges due to high amounts of falloff. All of these points won't necessarily translate over to DUST exactly, but it's a good primer for anyone that hasn't played EVE Online and is wondering how the races sit there. And when will this start working because so far the Caldari and the Minmatar have the best ranges. While the Amarr laser and Gallentr rifle are crap.
o-o hmm?
Minmatar doesn't have the better range. It's still a mid-range-CQC geared weapon but the AR should be better. The Amarr's Scramble Rifle has as much range as the Rail Rifle. Considering the Minmatar's Combat Rifle hits hard with it's semi-strikes, I'd say it's pretty close to having the "best" alpha or start-off damage but it depends on the Amarr's Scramble Rifle if it becomes the best. The Gallente needs to be buffed in the right places but I'm sure CCP knows that.
