There will be balance issues between all ranged weaponry, for as long they will have the limited amount of options of distinctions. I'de suggest adding3 new things to the combat system.
Stamina.
The action bar represents your ability to perform actions in physical form. In addition that specials substract from this amount, physical movement will now too.
Terrain negotiation negates the penalty of action, running over hills
Walking No action lost
Running Expends 0.2% action per second (Run a full 8 minutes with action)
SprintingBurstrunning will expend your whole action bar in 1 minute.
Swimming Full action bar depletes in 15 minutes (risk of cramp and drowning)
Jumping If we ever get a working hoizontal jumping option wich has a use, included.
Climbing If we ever get a working climbing system included for steep hills/mountains, included
Depleting youraction to exaustion will force your character to catch his breath and recover at a slower rate then normal for a short amount of time.
Weight
Each weapon and armor has a certain amount of weight wich will increase your penalty of action usage when doing physical tasks as described above. The heavier equipment you wear/carry ...the more action you'll spend.
A Shocktrooper in full armoured gear and carrying a rocketlauncher will tire more quickly then a normal clothed pistoleer.
A d18 pistol is significantly lighter then a T21, and has a negligable penalty.
Ammo
A Standard powercell has enough for 100 normally charged shots.
Depending on the weaponry, one can load up a multiple amount of powercells into a weapon. Generally larger, or automatic weaponry can store more of them...but due to damage output, they spend them more quickly, then a normally powered pistol. (The DL88 for instance is a higher charged pistol, wich expends ammo more quickly).
powercells are crafted and loaded up into your weaponry.
Militairy bases have the option to charge your weaponry to full standard amount of power at the power terminals.
Misc
Misc features wich could help the balancing course.
Flatter/smaller weaponry is easier to hide, or allows you to create smaller profile to shoot from, good for hiding behind cover and shooting from it.
