So a bit of a question.... to all, devs feel free to chip in ;)
I think I read somewhere that each weapon in legion will have a racial varient, like the standard rifles do now (assault etc) is this true?
My point of asking this really is around concern about adding extra weapon choices in the market and fitting also adding needless complexity to the progression tree depending on how its implemented also doing this would also cause dilution of the racial stereotypes currently established in New Eden Lore....
For example a gallente blaster (or shotgun if you will) is fine... as is a Caldari one as both races use hybrid weapons... but an amar blaster? no amar ever used this type of weapon (well not unless he wanted his killmail posted all over the interwebs and people laughing at how stupid his fit was). The caldari suit would give a range bonus and the gallente one a damage bonus. If teh amar wanted a close range weapon he would choose a pulse laser based gun like the scrambler rifle. Long range he would choose the laser rifle. To act as a counterpoint to this the Gallente wearer could choose a rail rifle which would get a damage bonus in his hands but not shoot as far.
This would also encourage (further down the line) people training into different races suits and weapons like in EVE. My oldest can use every races sub capital ships and weapons pretty much and this adds versatility not having to train a racial varient of every gun, just the guns that race uses.
If this is the plan - Why are CCP moving away from the established lore. I didn't understand the reason for having the racial varients of the rifles in dust to be quite honest... In fact when I first started playing i thought i was using a minmatar weapon on my gallente character for gods sake... the assault rifle is a machine gun which is similar to minmatar in eve.
The vehicle guns have me in a mix as well... i have posted this several times... Rail gun is a longrange high damage gun which bears little resemblance to both its eve counterpart and also its in game hand held version its just not consistant. To be honest youd be better off averaging out the sniper rifle and the rail and calling it a Rail Gun. And dont get me started on the blaster.... rapid fire wtf? blaster in eve are to use against the same size or larger targets.. yet in dust they are to use against smaller? (well the small turrets are at least).
Don't try to make legion a generic shooter please Make it an EVE shooter.
Anyway there is a question in there somewhere lol before anyone trolls and says well come up with better I will try to in a later post.

^ This by the way helps your point in the first bit.
EDIT: Your last bit made absolutely ******* 0 sense Look for any Caldari Industrialist who produces and sells blasters in Caldari Space...... BAM Caldari Produce Blasters. You know damn well that counts zero. Caldari do use blasters - the Ferox even gets bonuses to it. Lorewise, here are the weapons of choice for each race Minmatar: Projectile, Missile Gallente: Drones, Hybrid Amarr: Laser, Drones Caldari: Missiles, Hybrid I said nothing about using, now did I?
I said nothing about manufacturing =ƒÿè and caldari can use blasters or rails just the bonuses affect the guns differently. My point being that there should need to be a racial variant of each gun

Yes, you did. This is from your OP. did you not check over your own OP? Caldari has not yet made a signle blaster for our creation and use, and I highly doubt they ever will. They will use them? Yes. Make them? No. Every Race uses cloaks. Caldari made cloaks. Does that mean everyone makes their own ****** ripoff? No.
If you quote in context you will find that I said.. I had heard that there were to be racial variant of each weapon in legion. And yes the cloaks are racial ripoffs of tech stolen from pirates at a live eve event originally.
