first off, crossbows wouldn't be manufactured by Gallente simply for the fact they love to make Advance Technology as well as Drones to have everything done for them. this makes crossbows from Gallente a "most likely never" kind of senario.

Second, do you even know how a crossbow works? obviously not sence you called the ammo BOW's, which are a different weapon. They are called BOLTS and they have to be handloaded as well as the string (which is twice as LONG as the body if you layed it next to the crossbow) needs to be pulled back.

Third, you need to be able to eather drop your targets Fast or in One Shot in this game. sence the crossbow would be doing only 60 HP, limited range, and everything NEEDS to be done by hand....you an't going to see pratical use in Dust....Ever.

Stop playing Crysis Lol

We have space crossbows already, they're called railguns.

We are wearing super advanced armor that use nanobots to self repair and powerful energy shields capable to stop plasma rounds.
We kill each other with railguns, plasma rifles, laser weapons and orbital support.
We are immortal demi-gods of war.

HOW DO YOU THIK A PIECE OF IRON PROPELLED BY ELASTIC FORCE WOULD EVER DO ANYHING?

Go biomass yourself.
Please.

O RLY?



Seriously though, while I imagine a futuristic, highly efficient version of the crossbow could be created, I'm also not really sure what use it would have in-game. It's unlikely to ever be more effective than the types of modern weapons we have now...

Basically what you are asking here is a long range grenade launcher. I could possibly see that. Firing EMP or Explosive grenades at range for low PG requirement. However bows are old fashion.

Hey, your name is Tau, those guys are cool in Warhammer, and they also have a cool kit. How about instead of a grenade launcher its a Drone launcher and the drones are explosive. You launch your "grenade drone" and then it homes in and blows up the enemy.

Much cooler and high tech then a bow.
