You the man!
I think range cap on specials is a good idea. Though we'll never hear the end of it from pistolteers. And I don't mind not being able to strafeshot at close range either, afterall i'm a sniper, i don't belong in close range anyway.
Actually it'd be interesting if they made damage proportional to ideal range as well. But that'd take much work, and again we'd never hear the end of it from other professions. Commandos would own though, since they have short and long range weaponry. Not that i'd complain, they kill AT's for me.

Well it seems apropriate as you never see anyone in battle JUST running around with a pistol. You see them with a rifle or carbine and pistol. So bounty hunters will have it pretty good, they can KD you with the Carbine, run up and then eye shot you with a pistol. Hell, Pistoleers could even use a CDEF rifle, suppression fire someone, then get close enough to KD or attack with pistol.

I think doing this would prevent people from just getting pistol lines, or just getting one line. It would make it so you get a master of one line, and but also get a bit in another line. Like KD in carbine, with the speed line. So that you can get your target in range to use your pistol. I dont see a problem with it, but people who want to be only a pistol user and be able to shoot from all ranges will.
