moar damage.

I think the damage increase between tiers is equivalent to an enhanced (?) damage mod.

Basically.
It may not seem like much but it really does help, especially with the charged shots.

Wait... 75.6hp vs 72hp, , is worth 9,000 more ISK ? ! ! ! !

Scrambler Rifle+Prof.5+Complex DMG Mod= 109.62 per shot (to shields)

CRW+Prof.5+Complex DMG Mod=104.4 pershot (to shields)

CRW+Prof.5+Complex DMG Mod=109.62 pershot (to shields)

what is the point of CRW-04 Scrambler Rifle? (initial ADV one)

it's almost 10 times the cost of the base one, but I see no difference in stats

Use it with a modded controller. You'll wonder (once again) how CCP could have not seen this coming when they relesed it. It pretty much destroys anything, with a modded controller. Only works on the single shot/high damage scrambler rifles like that one, and the Imperial SR.

Much to my initial amazement, when modded, it overheats slower. No joke.

Thank you for the corroborating math, that I will *never care* about such silly things. I'd rather save hundreds of thousands of ISK over the long haul, than survive that one or two times that will actually make a difference :D
(not to mention I'll never have both those things up to 5!)

Overheat is based on time being fired, not times fired, as all the previous overheating guns had a consistant fire rate (Laser, HMG, Turrets). CCP needs to clean that up, but it'd take a decent amount of programming time to alter the way that specific overheat works while not borking the Scrambler Operations and Amarr Assault skills.

Because substituting their line of code....

if(GetKey.Down(Keycode.MouseButtonLeft))
{
FireGun();
StartHeatTimer();
}

private void StartHeatTimer()
{
//Run their heattimercode
}

With this is soo much work right?

If(GetKey.Up(Keycode.MouseButtonLeft))
{
FireGun();
HeatGun += 5;
}

Its most likely a bit complicater then this but changing the timer that adds heat should be fairly easy to get swapped out by a set amount of heat, and most likely the heat code is a seperate piece of code because the laser rifle uses it aswell.

Because saved up isk on the bank does something?
