DeathwindRising ROGUE SPADES 217	Posted - 2014.01.27 01:54:00 - [1] - Quote rail shotguns blaster sniper rifle? a projectile forge gun? stuff like that. im looking at switching to the commando dropsuit as my main dropsuit and i dont see enough weapons under each profile type to warrant a weapon bonus to racial weapons only
Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 6004	Posted - 2014.01.27 01:57:00 - [2] - Quote There are definitely going to be racial snipers, since we already know of the Minmatar Precision Rifle. As for racial shotguns and light AV, it is anyone's guess. Of course, there is nothing stopping CCP from adding these. This game will never be complete, there will always be more to add. And given the new Commando racial bonuses, that is all the more reason to add racial variants to everything. I'd say go for it. Personally I am going Amarr Commando with scrambler rifle and laser rifle, but will definitely entertain the idea of a laser shotgun and laser light AV weapon should they ever arrive, which again there is nothing stopping CCP from making them.

We already have 2 light AV racial variants: swarm launcher, and plasma cannon, so I think the rest of those are definitely happening.

Scheneighnay McBob Learning Coalition College 3755	Posted - 2014.01.27 02:31:00 - [5] - Quote Hard to say; I wouldn't think so, considering each race has their specific range profiles. Precision rifles, as minmatar weapons, will probably be even longer range than the current sniper rifles, and with higher alpha damage. However, they'll probably also have a lower RoF. Bolt-action, would be my guess. I am your scan error.
True Adamance Kameira Lodge Amarr Empire 6196	Posted - 2014.01.27 02:36:00 - [6] - Quote I believe that in future we will begin to see a greater level of racial parity between the four major Empire factions we have available to us. It was mentioned recently by several devs that Racial Parity is something the new development cycle is going to focus heavily on, and I would cite the projected 1.8 patch and a good example of this, as with the new release of Racial Scout Frames and Racial Heavy Frames (including Sentinel and Commando) we will have full racial dropsuit parity. It is likely in subsequent content patches we will see the implementation of new vehicles and weapons to fill out the existing weapons roles and variants.

Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 2848	Posted - 2014.01.27 02:56:00 - [9] - Quote Consider the general role of each of the current weapons. The shotgun is for very short range with very high alpha damage. The Amarr may decide to create a weapon that fills that role but it may not resemble a shotgun at all. Instead, it may be a heavy, slow firing scrambler weapon with only a few rounds in the magazine. So, yes, I think we'll have a form a parity at some point but I hope they are creative in how those roles are filled. // Venge Captain // Matari Logistics / Scout / Pilot // @ReesNoturana
Disturbingly Bored The Strontium Asylum 1497	Posted - 2014.01.27 02:57:00 - [10] - Quote According to a dev blog on unreleased weapons and damage type, there will only be four heavy weapons: one for each race. So we're due an Amarr and a Gallente weapon, but that'll be it. So long as all four weapons are nothing alike, I'm okay with it.

The nature of the weapon is duct-taped (or at least sticky) versatility, though.
Vulpes Dolosus SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 747	Posted - 2014.01.27 20:33:00 - [20] - Quote I think it works out that there are different weapon classes and each race will get their own that fits that category: Examples: ARs: Gal Blaster [Assault] Rifle, Cal RR, Min CR, Am ScR Light AV: Cal Swarm, Gal PC Side Arm Pistol: Gal Ion Pistol, Cal Bolt Pistol, Min Flaylock, Am ScP Etc. Then there are unique weapons like the LR and MD (possible the Sniper, though the Precision Rifle might mess that up) that have a unique functionality. CCP just needs to fill in the missing areas.
