1)
We want to create militia variants of the following weapons for now:
Scrambler Rifle
Rail Rifle
Combat Rifle
Laser Rifle
Mass Driver
Plasma Cannon
Heavy Machine Gun
This is something that everyone has wanted for a very long. However I don't think there needs to be a militia variant to
every variation of weapon out there. If people likes where the weapon they are using is going then they should skill into
it. Otherwise there isn't much incentive to skill into the weapon to try new variations of it out.

2) The second part of the roll-out would be to actually racially theme the starter fits so each race has it's proper choice of weapon. Please comment on this, and whether it should maybe be the Assault variant of the racial rifles.
Keeping this to the assault suits only is a good way to get new people into the marketplace to look at other suits and their roles. A lot of new people I talk to have no clue that they can try out other suits, equipment, vehicles just by going to the militia part of the marketplace. It would seem to me that more emphasis needs to be placed on that part of the store when you are a new player.

The third part would be to allow all races to have access to the Frontline Suit of the other races, maybe a limited number or unlimited. Please comment on that as well, from lore perspective etc. I feel it is important to show new players they are not limited in weapon selection by their race of choice.
Remember, that the militia variants are to test a weapon, and should not be used after skilling into it, so these will have both some limitations to clip-size, heat buildup and increased PG/CPU requirements.
Discuss.
Here's a thought why not have per-fitted militia suits for players to buy in the store. That way they can get an all around introduction to just about every suit, it's equipment and it's roles. This could also be a nice way to get/let new player use
equipment ( like cloaks) and weapons ( like the Plasma Cannon). Some of these suits would have and obvious increase
to it's pg and cpu which would only be unique to that suit. Whit that being said if someone try to take off something like the cloak to try and take advantage of the increased cpu or pg the suit would just revert back it's normal cpu and pg.
If your looking to make this fit lore wise you can say these are faulty suits that are being put on sell so (insert whatever company name here) can try and make a bit of money back on their defective products. Their lost is your gain.
