Every race has their own special weapons:

-Amarr: Laser Rifle

-Caldari: Sniper Rifle
-Gallente: Shotguns

Laser rifle=amarr precision weapon
Mass driver=minmitar launcher weapon
Sniper rifle=caldari precision weapon
Shotgun=Gallente shotgun or CQC weapon (like how the assault rifle is the gallente rifle)

Laser Rifle isn't the precision weapon, in other words it isn't similar to the caldari precision weapon in any way at all. How bout we let CCP tell us which weapons are what, besides I don't see the laser under the sniper tab rather it's under the rifle tab. Laser Rifle would be closer to a Amarr LMG used for surpression of large groups and area of denial.

it has been the amarr precision weaponGÇªGÇªAnd idk what your talking about "under tabs". We have no LMG, therefore your point is null. Im fairly certain I've seen a quote before that announced the laser rifle as the amarr precision weapon, but ill have to double check.

Caldari fighting style is to stay far from it's opponent and cause maximum damage at slow rates of fire. Hence why we have Caldari Railgun, Rail Rifle and our Sniper Rifle is Caldari. Gallente fighting style is close and personnal. Hence why the Blaster Rifle deals more damage the closer the range, the Gallente Blaster Turret and the Shot Gun is Gallente. It fits into their play style. Now why'd you guys want a shot gun and sniper rifle that only deals more damage to either shields or armor while decreasing the damage on the other one is far from me. What happens when you have your Minmatar shotgun and you find a Caldari Heavy? I think CCP is trying to put emphasis on the rock, paper, scissor concept. Reason for this is so people will actually have to work more as a team rather than be "super soldiers", besides this IS a teamwork based game.

Reason for this is so people will actually have to work more as a team rather than be "super soldiers", besides this IS a teamwork based game. But it wouldn't fit each races fighting style. Why, the Caldari, who specialize in long range combat make a weapon especially designed for CQC? Just because they specialize in long range combat doesn't mean they're ALWAYS going to stay at that range. I normally don't like conparing a game to real life, but just about every nation out there has their own specialty weapon for the engangments they might encounter. Even the police do the same thing even though officers carry a handgun but when the situation warrants they can bring out higher caliber weapons. Besides even without comparing this game to real life why would you be against having more variety in weapons? Or are you worried that your "I WIN" gun might avtually have a weakness that can be exploited? Noobasaures: "Rawr" Laser Rifle Specialist, Rail Rifles...

Actually, it's under the "light weapon" tab, along with every other light weapon in the game. Well that's what I meant by rifle, just couldn't think of it at the time.

I'm not saying that there is a LMG tab nor that CCP should make one, not that would be a bad idea. I was making a comparison of the laser to the LMG it acts quite similar to it. Large clip, used for suppression, a bit longer range than standard rifles, and not primarily used in close quarters. Also the person I was replying to was putting the laser and sniper rifle under the same name "precision" but both weapons are used for different purposes and act differently even though they both are accurate weapons.

But why not? Having several version of the same weapon for the other races allows for role play players to keep to what they like. It also opens up more avenues for strategy especially since heavies in 1.8 are going to be getting resistances against certain types of damage. More diversity means more options to choose from if you get tired of using the same old weapon over and over again, and it keeps things interesting on the battlefield bu having to figure out what weapon the other person is using and how to counter it.

I was just stating that why would the Caldari need a shotgun? Most like if the Gallente get a Sniper Rifle, that Sniper Rifle will have the shortest range compared to the Caldari. Doesn't make sense.[/quote] Then think of it like this, every race has their own military and just about every one of them thinks that their technology is superior to that of others. If they think that then why in the world would they use short range weapons of other races if they hate each other? Not only that but even before the four main races in EVE met each other they would still have had to deal with each other on their home planets. Meaning if I follow your logic then their military, police, etc. would only be able to use Rail Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Swarm Launchers. No shotguns for breaching doors, no smg for back up or pistol, no repper to heal armor, or droplink to deploy merc clones. You really think they wouldn't have thought about any of that butstill be able to make giant ships that can go light years into space and back?
