Aesiron Kor-Azor Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 440	Posted - 2013.10.29 11:59:00 - [1] - Quote Please change the name of the Assault Rifle to the Plasma Rifle... As of 1.7 we will technically have 4 assault rifles, so it would be confusing to have three given their functional name and one given the name of 'assault rifle'. Please change it to 'plasma rifle'. It would make much more sense - then we would have: Plasma Rifle Combat Rifle Scrambler Rifle Rail Rifle instead of: Assault Rifle Combat Rifle Scrambler Rifle Rail Rifle which looks weird.

I dont see anything wrong with a proper name correction.
Frost Kitty Immortal Retribution 25	Posted - 2013.10.29 13:09:00 - [10] - Quote I've been saying this to my Friends for like, ever! I hope CCP changes it. Plasma Rifle is just... just so much better! GÖÑ "If youGÇÖre not remembered, then you never existed."

Aleksander Black Immortal Retribution 219	Posted - 2013.10.29 15:43:00 - [13] - Quote I wonder if all the starting suits will still feature the Assault/Plasma rifle or the relevant racial equivalent. The new rifles are all quite simple but still a little bit different from a standard fps rifle... what do you think? Caldari starting fittings featuring the rail rifles - charge time is the only thing weird, the small clip will make it hard for CQC so it sounds more like a specialist's weapon, not something everyone would feel comfortable starting with. Amarr starting fittings featuring the scrambler rifles - this would be by far the most different rifle with charge and overheat mechanics. Again, this may be too much for newberries. Combat and assault/plasma would problaby be fine though. I think they should keep the gallente AR as the standard for new suits, what do you think?

Most people just say they want their Racial Weapons on their Militia Fits where you're thinking about the Newberries! Good stuff Alek. "If youGÇÖre not remembered, then you never existed."

Himiko Kuronaga MoIden Heath PoIice Department EoN. 2058	Posted - 2013.10.29 18:03:00 - [23] - Quote It is a blaster rifle, not a plasma rifle. Just because it fires plasma does not make it a plasma rifle. The rail rifle also likely fires plasma, should we call that a plasma rifle as well? No.

Just because it fires plasma does not make it a plasma rifle. The rail rifle also likely fires plasma, should we call that a plasma rifle as well? No. According to the EVE Wiki regarding Hybrid weapons for starship technology... Quote: 'The weapon commonly referred to as a 'Railgun' does not utilize rails within the barrel of the gun that the charge slides on - mounting lugs are not visible on images of the charges. However, they are more likely to be what we call Coilguns (also known as Gauss guns), which operate by accelerating a magnetically-charged projectile with electromagnets. As a Railgun does not have to traverse a heavy large-caliber barrel or generate a beam of high-energy light, it can be made smaller and lighter (and thus use much less powergrid than Artillery Cannons or Tachyon Beams). Conversely, a Blaster first processes the Hybrid charge and turns it into a ball of plasma, held together by a strong electromagnetic containment field. This ball is then accelerated out of the weapon by the same method as a Railgun, but the containment field quickly dissipates once the ball leaves the barrel of the gun. This greatly affects effective range. There is more information elsewhere that says both weapon types use the same ammunition but a Blaster turns that ammunition into plasma before it leaves the barrel and the Rail turns it into plasma once it reaches its target. Of course, CCP may decide on different lore for hand held weaponry.

As of 1.7 we will technically have 4 assault rifles, so it would be confusing to have three given their functional name and one given the name of 'assault rifle'. I know it's a small change, but it would make that little difference to organise the items in the game a bit more... Please change it to 'plasma rifle'. It would make much more sense - then we would have: Plasma Rifle Combat Rifle Scrambler Rifle Rail Rifle instead of: Assault Rifle Combat Rifle Scrambler Rifle Rail Rifle which looks weird. edit: other names could apply such as blaster rifle, ion rifle, etc... people seem to think that they don't 'fire plasma' which they blatantly do. Do this now CCP.
