knight guard fury Sebiestor Field Sappers Minmatar Republic 1	Posted - 2015.06.16 19:09:00 - [1] - Quote i prefer to classify weapons as light, medium, and heavy. im only doing Minmatar for now. ill do the others later but if you want to make a list of names for the other racial weapons please feel free to. should i consider these AutoCannons or AutoRifles? and artillery Cannons or Artillery Launchers? Light SMG - Light AutoCannon Assault SMG - Light rapid-fire AutoCannon or Light Gatling AutoCannon Breach SMG - Light Compact AutoCannon flaylock - Light Projectile Artillery Launcher Breach Flaylock - Light Focused Artillery Launcher Medium Combat rifle - medium burst AutoCannon Assault Combat Rifle - medium repeating AutoCannon Mass Driver - medium Artillery Launcher Breach Mass Driver - medium Impact artillery Launcher Assault Mass driver - medium Siege Artillery Launcher Heavy HMG - Heavy AutoCannon Assault HMG - Heavy Rapid AutoCannon Breach HMG - Heavy Condensed AutoCannon (if we had an artillery Heavy AV weapon) Heavy Artillery Cannon Heavy Siege Artillery Cannon Heavy Piercing Artillery Cannon Kin of the Vherokior tribe and warrior of the republic
MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 3	Posted - 2015.06.16 19:21:00 - [2] - Quote Smg's are not autocannons, they are machine guns furthermore assault variants are not gatling in any way - they tag the gallente 'assault' prefix onto them to indicate how they work, same as the breach functions more like the magsec due to its caldari prefix. Flaylocks are not artillery cannons, they are essentially explosive gyroget rockets. Combat rifles are not autocannons. Mass drivers are not artillery weapons, they are grenade launchers and once again they are using other racial prefixes to them to indicate how they would perform if made by other races. Hmg's are I belive in their description an autocannon, but they are called machine guns because of machined rotary drive on their barrel, technically the current standard variant should be labeled assault, the burst should be the standard and the current assault should be the breach. Other than that, your naming scheme is stupid, inaccurate/outright wrong and way too focused on how eve does it (yes taking inspiration from eve is good, painting yourself into a corner "BECAUSE EVE DOES IT THIS WAY" is ridiculously bad). Not only are you killing flavor and uniqueness, you aren't even accurate in the base descriptions of the weapons and there is severe word bloat ("breach smg" -> "SMALL RAPID MULTI-WORDED KICKASS DAKKA SEIGE CANNON THING").

knight guard fury Sebiestor Field Sappers Minmatar Republic 1	Posted - 2015.06.16 19:38:00 - [3] - Quote "A projectile turret is a turret which launches a ballistic, gyroscopically stabilized round. Projectile turrets are relatively low-tech, and are the primary weapon of Minmatar ships. Like missiles, they require no capacitor to fire." "Artillery cannons are long ranged weapons which possess impressive volley damage. It is not unusual to see a Tempest or Maelstrom do 4,000 to even 6,000 damage in one alpha strike. Unfortunately, artillery deals relatively little damage over time due to a low rate of fire, have low tracking speeds, and are often difficult to fit due to high powergrid requirements." this may be talking about the turrets for ships but it pretty much is the same concept for our weapons. and no im not completely wrong in the naming of them but in context, yes i am right that they are similarly autocannons and artillery cannons. the mass driver is a type of artillery, if you didnt know that, even though it uses grenades, it can be fire across long ranges and just like artillery cannons, it fires at a slower rate and does little damage over time compared to other weapons. combat rifles and SMG's are very much like auto cannons. they are low tech but very effective weapons that shoot projectile based rounds at short to medium ranges.

Autocannons are 20mm and up no one ever said how big our HMG's are. and our assault variants can destroy vehicles now, so theorically they could be using 20mm ammunition Kin of the Vherokior tribe and warrior of the republic

This is your opinion. It is a fact however that nothing is wrong with the current weapon names aside from incorrect racial tagging. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian.
