Ok, fine so then, more new guns, more new rebalances, more new vehicles more new rebalances, more new suits, more new rebalances, we have gone through this a hundred times now. Is what I am trying to avoid by going into the shotgun or specific weapon department is simple. skip the bs of more rebalances. and plus if the shotgun is the gallente massdriver. then what is the plasma cannon? and don't say anti-vehicle because sure yes it does damage them but it also does better against infantry making it an infantry v infantry weapon with side damage to vehicles like the massdriver. thats another thing, we need more AV gear, the forge gun only kills if you have proto or more than one cannon, and partially killed vehicles do not count on this scale, to kill an assault dropship or a dropship is very hard with swarms, they hear one volley "Oh here they come better switch on my booster" and they are out of your range or they have outraced your missles. Back to shotgun, is what I meant to spur up in general was racial partiality in all areas already in the game that will not need a thousand reballances in the future. We already see where that has gotten us.

As pokey said earlier all the races tend to make a variants of every weapon, as do modern races or authenticity. So shotguns would make sense, along with beam based rifles, sniper rifles, mass drivers (AKA grenade launchers) and so on.
