DUST Search - My thoughts on the Tac AR. (snipers should read this too)

There cannot, should not, be an "only available with a certain class" weapon or module. There should be weapons that are better suited to some classes and not others but none should make a fit invalid. That makes every fit possible even if it is not plausible. Like a Heavy with nova knives and a cloak system. Allow it.

A suit with a Heavy weapon... that is a different discussion altogether, but all this discussion of limiting the classes to certain weapons or vice versa (speaking to ironwolf's proposals) is bungling the idea of versatility of Dust 514. If I can lift it I should be able to use it. If i have a suit I should be able to equip it. So, No logi only weapons, Scout only weapon, or modules or equipment. If you want to you should be able to use it - even if it seems ridiculous.

Shotgun heavy with sprint mods and knives - like a boss. Armor tanking logi with an smg - like a boss. Pounding face with a assault TAR - awesome. Play whatever you want. And yes there should be some sort of strength check for any soldier to carry a heavy weapon - as odd as it may be and with as many penalties that they might take it should be an option.

What Uprising has ruined is the basic fun in the game. Specifically one could try the laser rifle. Or the mass driver. You might love them or hate them. But you could afford to try them out. Maybe even have a Fit for sitting on the table top and lobbing mass driver rounds down below. Now, it just isn't possible to make any headway on anything Except your very specific, totally focused, specialty focused path. Starting a new character to test something out is a waste as you cannot even get a suit or a decent gun to start with. Who wants to add two months of grinding on a test character to see if the overly expensive SP should be spent on a different item? I don't and I will never try it again. And yes, my alt ran a Heavy with Nova Knives. It was a hoot and mostly a waste of SP, ISK and time. However, at the time it was the only thing withing my CPU/PG budget I could fit so I tried it. I have never been tempted to go back to Nova Knives again. Those days are gone. Never to return.
