Adrian, that would be a very nice idea. Except there are two problems.

That type of game doesnt exist yet. There is no genre name for an FPS + SpaceSim

It does have very high possibilities, but this would need ship balancing, AND weapon balancing. XD.

Ever get tired of using plain old LSF issue sidearms? Try this! Left over nomad tentacles to beat your enemy, wife or dog to hell and back. And when your done, it turns on you!! Batteries not included! But wait there's more, call 0800-NomadsRus right now and receive a Nomad Gunship! These things are so hot they'll melt your face off! Call today!

Edit: its the "crowbar" of Disco.

I can imagine they having EMP Grenades. They storm into a smugglers ship , enter the deck , throw one of those and its lights out for the whole thing! I was also gonna say Spartan Lasers , but those things would probably blast a hole through the whole ship:P

i don t know how weapons can really evolve much in the future. - weapons of mass destruction can evolve, cause "mass destruction" is somewhat extendable.

but a typical handheld weapon has its limits. - you can only shoot someone dead so much. - dead is dead. - a crude stick with a sharpened stone is as deadly as a sophisticated lasersword. ( at least when you re the victim, unarmoured and at point blank range - the difference is... the laser sword will probably hurt less and you die much quicker )

handheld weapons probably evolve in accuracy, range ( but only in terms of human limits ) - and custom adjustments regarding to the terrain they re used in ( cities, darkness etc )

but even the most accurate pistol is limited by the one using it - so i could imagine some computerized adjustments in a handheld gun that assists the holder to a certain extend, but thats not really the weapon itself that is improved, its the way to hit.

the weapon itself is probably just a bit ahead of the way people protect oneself. - so it mainly depends on how good personal armour is. - civilians will still not wear protective clothing i guess - military personel might use anything from a physical armour up to a shield generator.


personally - i think of freelancer weapons like weapons in the FASA game "Battletech" - which appears to have a similar tech-grade. - there you basicly have the same weapons you got now. - they might be lighter, have a longer range and are made out of more exotic materials ( so they re not detected ) - or they are just so small that they can be easily hidden.

but the very "normal" person ( pirate, thug etc. ) still uses the ancient pistol, cause for what he needs it for, its both, the cheapest and most effective. - and it can kill someone else just as good as a tank. - in battletech, "real" weaponsprogress ( that means - sci-fi weapons ) are only really large scale weapons that cannot be considered hand held anymore.

They could still use that mini pistol from Men in Black 1.
It would be great because its like a bazooka with the size of a small dagger.

miniaturization.
