Slow down there, racial swarms would not fit. What we need is the rest of the racial AV weapons. The Caldari use the Forge Gun and Swarm launcher, rail and missile weapons, as they are Caldari.
Not racial swarms, but the rest of the AV weapons

The Forge gun is Caldari, because the projectile is accelerated along a rail. Keep in mind that the Gallente and Caldari both use 'Hybrid Weapons", Blasters, such as the assault rifle, and rails, such as the rail rifle, that work on the same principle (I don't know exactly but they are the same idea). The 'Ishukone' Forge Gun is obviously Caldari, as Ishukone is one of the 8 Caldari Megacorps. Swarms are missiles, and missiles are primarily used by the Caldari. Though Minmatar do use missiles, so that may explain the bonus they get (The Minmatar have a good number of missile boats in EVE, Talwar, Cyclone, Breacher, Typhoon), but projectile is their primary.

I'm not asking for racial swarms. I'm asking for racial missiles to put in the swarms.
If so then you'd be calling for the implementation of select-able ammunition, and I don't know how well that would work, as that would be very difficult and confusing in an FPS.
I say this because you'd end up with a lot of ammunition types for Hybrids, Projectiles, and Energy weapons.
For example, and if following the way EVE does it, Hybrid weapons would be able to load:
Antimatter Charge
Iridium Charge
iron Charge
Lead Charge
Plutonium Charge
Thorium Charge
Tungsten Charge
Uranium Charge
Every single one of these does something that affects the gun, tracking, damage, range, capacitor (an EVE only thing right now). Not only that, but how do you carry around the ammunition? Do you choose to put it on your suit when they are deploying? Have a bunch of copies of the same fit with different ammo? Could you change the ammo out?
However you are talking about swarms, and there are 4 different types of missiles in EVE
They are:
Scourge
Mjolnir
Nova
Inferno
Each does it's own damage type, Kinetic, EM, Thermal, and Explosive respectively. With only 4 it's a little easier, but if you do this for one weapon you do it for all weapons, which leads to problems
Edit: I'm not really disagreeing with you, but the problem is how that would work with the rest of the guns |
