We could use some new weapons in general, but I've been thinking about the lack of sidearms. Here are some ideas.
Carbines: shorter rifles with less ammo in the mag and reserve.
Machine Pistols: Self explanatory.
Sidearm shotguns: Basic shotguns with 3 or 4 rounds in mag
One shot grenade launchers
Discuss the lack of side arms. |

Shouldn't be a problem on the 6th:

I just hope it's not AV only. |

Actually, I don't think we need more sidearms. Most of the primaries are versatile enough that either of the sidearms will fill the void.

According to the Dev Blogs, each race is going to have their own variation of weapon classes so we should be getting more sidearms as development progresses. Right now, all we have are Minmatar, Amarr, and (sometimes) Gallente. We still need Caldari to round things out for sidearms at least. |

I doubt it will be AV at all- more like a miniature mass driver. |

There are three sidearms (Nova, Scrambler, SMG), but aren't there only two heavy weapon types? That seems worse. |

HMG = Minmatar
Forge Gun = Caldari?
So, going along with EVE lore heavies should eventually be getting a plasma weapon and either a pulse or sustained laser. Then the "Heavies are OP" debate will start all over again. Also, this might wind up being a heavy weapon:

No, its already been stated that that is a weapon for everyone. Its a dumbfire rocket launcher. |

It IS a dumbfire light weapon, and one that we desperately need to take on the damage of the Swarm Launcher so that that thing's damage can be nerfed to a level appropriate for a weapon that doesn't even require you to aim. |

It will either do untold damage to infantry or make no sense and do no damage like the dumbfire SL before it. |

Don't get me wrong, I fully support new AV weapons for the sake a variety. But knowing the playerbase we're dealing with, the tears are going to flow when people start dying to it. Swarms were working as intended back in February because tankers didn't have enough SP invested into being truly effective and militia stuff could do the job. Now that players are in the 5~6mil territory, tanks are more dangerous and players haven't taken the time to invest into AV to establish balance. Once deployable instillations and tackling comes into play, balance should be established. |
