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!
The different types of light weapons we have are:
-Rifles
-Shotguns
-Precision weapons
-Launchers
What we currently have full racial parity of will is rifles, which is good. The remaining weapons that need to be released for full racial parity include:

Amarr:
-Launcher based weapon: "Fist of God", fires a projectile in an arc that lights up on the ground, and then after .75 seconds, the gun fires a large burst skywards, which hits where the laser light on the ground is in an orbital-like manner with about a 5-8 meter radius, dealing very large damage inside the radius. The laser light that marks where the actual strike occurs could stick to vehicles.

-Shotgun: shotgun that fires a laser burst, fires 5 pellets by tapping, but has charge capabilities and overheat mechanic, and at max charge fires 12. each pellet, at proto, does as much as a basic scrambler rifle shot, has an optimal range of 8-10 meters, overheats after one full charge and one tap

Caldari:
-Shotgun: one shot clip, fastish (2-3 seconds) reload speed, requires .25 second charge, and instead of firing a spread it fires a single slug round that deals massive damage (like 1000ish at proto), and has an optimal range of 15ish meters. The reticle would be smaller than the reticle for the breach shotgun, making it a difficult weapon to hit with, and dastrous effects for the operator if the round misses, but huge rewards if the round hits

Minmitar:
-Shotgun: fully automatic, same dps as gallente shotgun (once it gets buffed), slightly more range of about 1-2 meters, but has a larger spread to accompany the increased range

-Precision weapon (precision rifle is currently in the works)

Gallente:
-Precision weapon: NEED IDEAS

Specialist is weapons which are the "speciality" of the race. Caldari : Combat from long distance : Sniper. Gallente : Close combat : Shotgun. Minmatarr : Explosives wepaons : Mass driver. Amarr : Laser weapons : Laser. Seriously are you REALLY waiting diffrent sniper rifles ? Come one....Sniper sohuld be deleted from this game...WHAT THE POINT about 16 vs 16 if we lose lot of guys in the Red line sniping ? Sniper just make lose their team. Of course they can cover an objective, but like anyone could.... Of course they can make great scores easily. But what the point ? camping ? They're less useful for their team than a damn nanohive....
