it isn't fun being slaughtered by 10 arrogators at a gate while you can't fight back, so my plan is to arm shuttles with some light weapons, not for hardcore pvp action but to keep the arrogators away. they'll cost like 15k isk and have their species-type weapons:
Caldari Armed Shuttle:
weapon: 1x rocketlauncher (5m3 extra cargo for ammo)
Amarr Armed Shuttle:
weapon: 2x gatling pulse laser I with standard S crystal
Gallente Armed Shuttle:
weapon: 2x light blaster
Minmattar Armed Shuttle:
weapon: ? dunno much about minmattar, sugestions?

to be honest.. i dont think we will se shuttles with guns.. i'd personaly like a T2 shuttle to be able to have a launcher to launch defender missiles, improved speed and armor tho

its going to be very interesting to see what they will come upp with for tech II shuttles, I like the concept of defender missiles but... how do you limit a launcher to only defenders?
As for allowing the shuttle normal weapons... why?
The shuttle is there for a reason, if you wish to be able to fight back hop into a fast frigg.

tech2 emergency shuttle
they would have very limited power and cpu, and cargo space (maybe 25m3), they would even be a bit slower then shuttles by default)
i think tech2 shuttles would be cool, (and type but without weps, thats for sure) they could need navigation lvl 5, (and no weapon hardpoints)
amarr would have 5% speed and 5% armor bonus ( hi:1 / med:1 / lo:2)
caldari would have 10% shield boosting bonus ( hi:1 / med:2 / lo:1)
minmatar would have 5% speed and 5% signature min bonus, would be more fragile ( hi:1 / med:2 / lo:2)
gallente would have a cloaking device speed penalty bonus and 10% reduction in warp capacitor need( hi:1 / med:1 / lo:1)
shuttles could require frigate lvl 5 plus shuttle skill (that would require navigation lvl 5)

my idea was to not replace the existing shuttle, but to have T2 armed shuttles travelling at like 1 km/s

if your shuttle travel at 1km/s you dont need guns.

Just make a new launcher type, or get rid of rockets and leave rocket launchers as Defender only, that's all I've seen anyone other than NPCs use them for anyway.

just realised the one above already replied to that..
and why should the T2 shuttles not have guns?
Well it's cause shuttles are ment to drive peeps around, not become the new fighter craft

Oh, I don't know, I think you should be able to put a pop gun on just about anything you want. If a tiny little drone can be armed, why not an armed shuttle? It's up to the player to decide if he wants a cheaper, unarmed shuttle to zip around, or an armed shuttle.
I wouldn't mind seeing a smaller, less capable shuttle which would fit in the cargo bay of most ships (eg under 200 m3)....

Nah,
Shuttles should be "the" choice for fast transportation in the eve universe...im talking like a 5 second travel time from the jip to the gate.
But give'em a nice big fat sig radius of that of a battleship to compensate. =p
