First off, i want to say that CCP is doing a great job so far with all the weapons that they have released and are going to release, so +1 to you guys. However, i wanted to make this thread as a constructive list of suggestions for future weapons for future racial parity. The first three posts will consist of light, sidearm and heavy weapons respectively.
Once all racial weapons are created, i would like to see races getting say a 10-15% bonus to each of their racial weapons, which i believe is done in EVE as well. This, i feel, would also help with a lot of current balancing issues, as each racial drop suit will have weapons that are designed for use of that drop suit, thus increasing niche based roles, and decreasing all-encompasing FoTM's.
Also, for all posts, feel free to remind me if i forgot any, and also comment any ideas for the unannounced weapons that you think are good ideas
So first off; light weapons!
What we currently have full racial parity of will is rifles, which is good. The remaining weapons that need to be released include:
Amarr:
-Launcher based weapon
-Shotgun
Caldari:
-Shotgun
Minmitar:
-Shotgun
-Precision weapon (precision rifle is currently in the works
Gallente:
-Precision weapon
Kills- Archduke Ferdinand
Balance!

they're actually classified as launcher weapons, i remember someone quoting CCP on this one, but yeah you're right about all of that

I believe the Mass Driver, Plasma Cannon, and the Swarm Launcher are the racial light AV weapons. precision rifle is the only other sniper announced for the near future. no other shotguns have been. No other shotguns are needed tbh, and all of the above would out preform the Gallente shotty by leaps and bounds. Don't act like it won't.
Eh, the gallente shotgun needs a buff, but i think the others would honestly be very balanced. The only one i would be concerned about is the amarr shotgun. All the others are very balanced IMO, minmitar doesn't have as much alpha, and you have to deal with less bullets hitting, Caldari requires a direct hit and charge up to use to full effect, and if you miss, the consequences would be deadly to the use, as you would have to reload, or switch to your other gun, but the reload animation would take away precious seconds

I repeat, we don't need more shotguns. they don't fit the other races styles of combat (more accuracy over spraying), and would over power the current shotgun if they came. That's just adding **** to add ****.
that 1k damage is at proto, and it has a charge up, and if you miss your screwed. The only people such a weapon would be bad for is protostompers, as they could easily lose what they have to someone who is pissed and takes out a very powerful but difficult to use weapon. I also suggest NO AIM ASSIST on the caldari shotgun
The full auto shorty has barely more range, and the range is negated by wider spread, and also the same DPS as the current shotgun. Would also have a very low mag cap as well
The numbers for the amarr shotgun need to be adjusted, but i think that it works nicely

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 weaponGǪGǪAnd 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.

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.
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?
The caldari shotgun is a long range shotgun that is rather ineffective in CQC compared to minmitar or gallente shotguns, due to the fact that it has a 1 mag cap, a charge time, no spread, and a tiny reticle
