I personally love long range weapons. Preferably ballistic with slow reload and big damage per shell. Unfortunatelly there are not enough such weapons in the game, the closest thing to this I laid my hands on were heavy blasters, I like how u got to aim to make a hit on a over a longer distance. It is however quite elusive to me, how it is possible, that rapid firing weapons have in this game usually longer range, than larger caliber slow firing weapons, for example, why heavy needler has range of 800, where much slower firing larger caliber arbalest autocannon has range of only 700. I think I am gonna do a little bit of fiddling with those numbers in weapon data.csv file...
