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.
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...
It can disable electronics and a dropsuits shields for a short time, and I didn't mention that you can have explosive bows that have very high damage levels at the cost of 5 PG. |

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. |

The drone idea sounds cool, but I think drones can be used for so much more. We can use drones as scouting equipment. |

Ok lets try and save this thread... cross bows... i mean really!!
Reign Bows - Uses Magnetic fields instead of stored elastic tension to launch variable projectiles at long ranges incredibly accurately.
- Reign over your enemies mercilessly with this highly versatile weapon. Be it raining high penetration, explosive, or disruption bolts into the eye sockets of your hated foes. This well known weapon is a pleasure to use in any situation, but is most obviously noted for the "rainbow" atmospheric effect upon firing along its barrel.
Originally a product of the "Quafe" corporation as a publicity stunt, its military potential was soon realized after one particular empire wide advert, in which a high guard of the Amarr was shown, not only delighting kids with rainbows, but also demolishing a former Quafe competitor factory...
It is now in heavy production in all 4 major empires, after a rumored multi-million isk rights deal.
Note: All producers deny sternly that reignbows are powered by little pink ponies. |

Crossbows? Not a chance.
But if Minmatar got their hands on a space age nail gun... well, I could see it firing metal poles at the enemy, to say the least. Maybe even superheated. But Crossbows? Pfft, maybe if I was huntin' Dust's non-existent wildlife. |

But really, the only reasons I can see for a crossbow are.
It really would be low PG/CPU
It can go over cover where most guns would run into cover
Silent.
Crossbows are lowtech, Even Mims have super high tech ships, they just aren't as super super as Caldari.
1. There are other low PG/CPU options
2. Grenades already fill this role nicely
3. Actually all Railguns should be silent. Its just electricity and magnetics, if you have driven in a electric car you know they are silent. |

Nexus Tau how long have you been here? I believe the community has settled on no crossbows a long time ago. |
