Race is not just a tag on an item, it implietertain set of attributepeng the full compliment of racial vehicles designed with different tanking types (whether that is shield, armor, speed, regen) and weapons/turrets with different damage types (laser, projectile, plasma, rail) are absolutely core content necessary for completing the game, not "new toys." New toys would be wanting fighter jets or MTACs or something like that, what is suggested in this thread is the full line up of racial content that would have attributes needed to achieve balance and thus complete the game.

Let's imagine for a second if the Combat Rifle and Rail Rifle were never introduced to the game in Uprising 1.7. So our only frontline rifles would be the Plasma Assault Rifle and the Scrambler Rifle, both with damage profiles oriented towards taking out shield users. That would give armor tankers even more of an edge and really screw up the balance. But would you accuse anyone back then for wanting Combat Rifles and Rail Rifles to simply be whining for new toys? This is exactly the same reason why we are asking for the remaining line up of racial heavy weapons, vehicles, and consequently turrets. It is NOT new toys, it is core content needed to achieve proper balance.
