Now that we have rifle racial variants filled out and side arms are soon to follow, I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this. Remove the variants that greatly change how a weapon works such as the "assault" variants that give single or burst fire rifles full auto functionality.
This could make weapon balancing easier. Without special variants that can widely alter a weapon's behavior it is easier to make a gun balanced against other guns.
It could also encourage more skill cross training. Without variants, each racial weapon becomes more specialized towards a particular role/playstyle.
Admittedly these variants should only be removed once a weapon type has filled out. Now that we have many rifle options there isn't really a need for a "tactical assault rifle" or "assault rail rifle". Things like charged sniper rifles should only be removed once we have a full array of racial sniper weapons (if/when we get them). |

I like the variety. New Eden is supposed to be huge and plentiful in variety.
More not less.

I see what you're saying and it makes sense to me. May need a weapon specific respec whenever this happens but I like the idea.

The 'more' that needs to happen here is racial weaponry, not variants of the same weapon.
My thoughts on the matter are
 Remove weapon variants
Introduce racial weaponry
When the racial weaponry is balanced against each other, start re-introducing (certain) variants.
Re-introduce all the variants or certain variants. When I say certain variants I mean if a races style is single shot or burst fire, maybe introduce a tactical version or breach version. An assault version of a race's single/burst fire weapon takes away that races flavor.
By having a full line up of balanced racial basic weaponry to work form, CCP would have an easier time introducing both new weapons and new variants of existing weapons.
('Basic weaponry' means that a race has a short and long range (relatively) versions of sidearm, light, and heavy weapon. That's 6 basic handheld weapons per race.)
