we need diversity again, and desperately.

but with some of the weapons that are yet to be introduced, we would have to wait a while, because we dont know what we are exactly getting handed untill it arives infront of us. lets wait to see if all races will get a Light/Heavy.Sidearm weapon respectively, since Minmatarr already has the weapons to fill each of those slots, yet there is only 1 Gallented Blaster Tech weapon on the field at the moment

We already know that each weapon class will have it's own racial version. Like for rifles we have the Gallente Assault Rifle, Amarr Scrambler Rifle, Caldari Rail Rifle (not yet released), and the Minmatar Combat Rifle (not yet released). For pistols we have the Amarr Scrambler Pistol, Minmatar Flaylock Pistol, Gallente Ion Pistol (not yet released), and Caldari Rail Pistol (not yet released). There's also racial versions of the SMG coming (Caldari Magsec SMG coming soon) and sniper rifles (Minmatar Precision Rifle on it's way).

Now if the question is that we don't know if these weapons will be balanced properly to be fair that some get them in their starter fits than that's another problem in itself. All of the racial variants should be different but equally powerful in their specific niche.

All of the racial variants should be different but equally powerful in their specific niche. all very true, i would like to see what is coming, even in base frames, though i dont expect the weapons to come right away. i might spec into ARs afte they're fixed, and maybe into the blaster pistols or blaster small auto, because i love the minmatarr SMG a great deal, when all the racial weapons are out, the fittings will probably be properly altered, but they do need the Militia variants for them as well, though some weapons i dont expect to see milita variants for. namely the Mass Driver and Plasma Cannons, since those seem like the advanced style weapons. also, do you have any idea what the Heavy guns are foing to be? we have the projectile, but we need pulse laser/beam laser and blaster tech, those are going to be nasty on the field
