When they start adding in more racial weapons and new weapon types are they going to fit into the existing weapons classes or will new classes be added on?
Once more weapon types are added and ranges are expanded will the primary difference between classes pretty much just be their damage proficiencies and specific quirks?
Like right now most ARs have ranges dependent on their type, assault/tactical/burst/etc while the Scrambler Rifles all have a shorter range. Eventually Scrambler Rifles will have their own expanded ranges to more or less match the AR selection based on their style of fire right? |

in EvE each weapon type has range and damage modifier and RoF and tracking stats within a certain range, dependant on the size of the weapon system, these stats are further tweaked by individual weapon model within that weapon type category.
In Dust this is best seen in the AR weapon category with the range, RoF, damage per round and accuracy variables.
Each weapon system operates within bounded parameters, with the inclusion of damage type.
In EvE there are four damage types:
Electro-magnetic (strong against shields)
Thermal
Kinetic
Explosive (strong against armor)
Damage Type has so far been simplified within DUST, and as of yet there are only resistance mods for vehicles and of those there are no Damage Type specific Resistance Mods as of yet.
Edit: it should be noted that as a rule of thumb:- within EvE DPS is modified by range. Longer Ranged Weapon Systems have lower DPS potential then Shorter Ranged Weapon Systems, by either having lower RoF or Damage Per Round.
In answering your queries, I don't think new additional weapon systems will fit into the bounds set by current weapon system 'classes'.
Range is variable within the parameters assigned to a Weapon System.
Currently the AR is the least specialised Weapon System, and would appear to be a median point for determining all other Weapon System functionality. It would appear (to me at least) that there is a gap in the Long-Medium to Short-Long range that will probably be filled by at least one more Weapon System.

It depends on their level, you can also use items such as a fire stone to cause premature evolution. |
