Thanks, I updated with your wish

Skirmish 1.0 or something like it.

Racial Variants for more types of weapons to fit lore (Gallente and Caldari projectile weapons, Caldari and Amarr Plasma weapons, Gallente and Minmatar rail weapons, etc) + more weapon models even within weapon meta-levels to increase immersion (say, a 'Combat Rifle' having a different model than an 'Assault Combat Rifle')

More AV Missile weaponry, and improving Swarm functionality

Ammunition types for most light weapons

Plasma weapons having range characteristics changed so the bolts disappear after a set (short) range, with optimal sitting at around 30m, falloff another 30m max (bolt loses damage in this range), and after that the bolt just disappears (again, in keeping with how plasma weapons work in lore) Edit: Ranges of course would be a bit longer on heavier weapons, and shorter on lighter weapons. 30/30m was just an example.

Make plasma weapons devastatingly powerful to compensate for very short ranges.

Edit: Make the plasma cannon function like a blaster. No awkward lobbing ball of plasma, just a hypersonic bolt with relatively short range

Drastically increase range of any weapon firing a solid projectile. (Seeing 100m being called 'long range' in a large-map shooter game makes me sad)

More vehicles, both in categories and race (goes without saying I think)

Differing vehicle models between roles (not just one hull)

Race-specific turret models for vehicles, at least for that races more common heavy weaponry. (Eg: a blaster on a caldari tank will have a different model than on a gallente tank, though it's the same blaster. Same goes for rail turrets. If you put a Projectile turret on a caldari tank, though, it'll keep a Minmatar model with altered colours to match the tank)

Racial HUD's that are simple but elegant

Re-imagined sounds to help gameplay immersion

Smart RDV's

Commander with ability to drop installations: no turret installations when match begins, delay before dropping installations, ability to only drop installations within certain range of control points or specific structures like friendly CRU's

Restriction to light/medium suits when operating dropships or tanks

Higher ceiling for maps, for more tactical use of dropships

Large varied maps with equally varied game-modes.



I could really go on....

10: Caldari don't really use blasters much, nor do they make them, so why would they have their own? Also, Why would it be binded to the hull type? Wouldn't it be for whoever made the actual turret?

Ugh.


Yes, Godin. Yes they do.

This is why you think idea no. 1 makes no sense; because you don't understand EVE lore with regards to weaponry, especially personal weaponry.

EVERYONE uses bullets.

Space combat aside, none of the empires restrict themselves to one type of weapon. Not only is there lore to back this up, believing otherwise is ridiculous.

The Gallente invented magnetic weaponry, both Blasters and Railguns. the Caldari adopted both, as well as maintaining their love for missiles. Space combat does not mirror what fighting is like on the ground, though.

Every single empire has used, and still uses, conventional projectile small-arms. They are the most cost effective and easily manufactured firearms available, while still being very lethal thanks to modern materials and technologies. This is Canon, pure and simple.

That being said, even in EVE it is common to see railgun fit gallente ships, or blaster fit caldari ones, and I'm taking NPC's, not just players.

It is completely rational to expect that personal weaponry, regardless of empire, would fit tactical roles. If a certain type of weapon fit a tactical role better than another, it would absolutely be favored. Why would a Caldari soldier breaching a room have a railgun? Why not have a plasma weapon that has far more stopping power at the appropriate range you will be engaging? What if there are other people, and rail rounds might overpenetrate and kill someone? Plasma bolts vent the moment they hit something, so no danger of that.

Do you then think that a Caldari unit would go buy Gallente weapons just to fill that role? Hell no, they have all the same technology to make their own.



Are you getting what I'm saying?

Then if that's the case, where are the Caldari Navy Blasters? Also, there's not a single Caldari named Turret or weapon that is blaster based.

You clearly know nothing.

Also, I said that they use them, just not as much as rails.

and blasters don't use bullets, they use charges of whatever, which is superheated to a plasma form then shot.

Insult me as you please, but actually use logic when insulting me. Thanks.

Just because there is no Caldari Navy blaster on an LP store, does not invalidate lore.

I know blasters don't use bullets, that was just an attention grabber. The point still stands: on the ground, every race use bullet shooting rifles, amongst others.

i assure you that between my time in EVE, and having read through every chronicle, short story, and novella CCP has written, i know my fair share.

I wasn't trying to insult you, but if you can't see the logic that's your problem.

Your logic is that they do, when they in fact don't, otherwise they would show it, but they don't, ever. So therefore, I call bullshit.

EVERYONE uses bullets.

It physically pains me that you're making me stay up so I can give you examples how how wrong you are, but I'll get over it.

From the story 'Theodicy' : (Hint: The guards are Amarrian)

He ran through crowds of flashing knives and spilled blood; past men clutching at their Glaive-collars with one hand and bashing Amarrians with the other. With abdominal pain intensifying every step, he hurled himself into a lift and shut the door. The elevator began rocketing upwards amidst a hail of bullets. Guards filed into a second lift and gave chase.

Or from Templar One, when Vince is training with some weapons:

"Arrayed before him were plasma rifles, arc cannons, various explosives, and electronics, all of which he could explain the inner workings of in intimate detail, down to the smallest nuance"

And while, granted, it never says a MAKE for the plasma rifles, do you REALLY think they're Gallentean?

At an Imperial Armaments training facility?

Teaching a Templar of all things?
