DeadlyAztec11 Gallente Federation 2623	Posted - 2013.11.17 23:23:00 - [1] - Quote This idea spawns from the "Logi sidearm only" debacle. Carbines, basically compact, less powerful versions of rifles. Make them equipable as a sidearm and light weapon. *The amount of CPU and PG requirements is doubled if you equip it as a sidearm on every suit except* for Logis**. So in essence these weapons would only be practical to run on Logistic suits, as any other suit would do better with an SMG or Magsec SMG. How do you guys feel about this idea? Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened.

We used to have carbines. Those of us from closed beta will remember the "compact ar" which used to be a salvage drop item. I seem to recall it was a light weapon though and the only difference from standard weapons was its lower cpu/pg costs. I realize what you're proposing is a different beast entirely but I just wanted to point out that this kind of used to exist. Fun > Realism
DeadlyAztec11 Gallente Federation 2628	Posted - 2013.11.18 00:42:00 - [3] - Quote So far, I am thinking that the compact AR would have a faster damage drop off, less rounds per magazine, more recoil, smaller hip fire spread.

This was a stupid idea. Besides with the SMG being just a strong as the duvolle who the hell would want to even use this? It's pointless. They call me the C.L.I.T commander.

Justin Tymes Dem Durrty Boyz 499	Posted - 2013.11.18 01:29:00 - [13] - Quote The Side-arm idea is terrible, give it a rest. There is nothing wrong with a Logi using Light weapons, take advantage of the fact that Logis have no way to cover up the weaknesses of the main weapon out side of Amarr, which is too slow to pursue anything.

Logi's shouldn't be the first line of defense anyways; if they manage to get past your Assaults, Heavy and scouts, they should be damaged enough that you only need a couple of rounds from your Sidearm. I also don't understand why having only a sidearm is so bad, I only have a sidearm on my Minmatar Assault since it's an AV fit. I still do all right. Stay behind the Assaults and Heavy instead of leading the charge and you will be fine. Madness is the emergency exit.

The extra customization comes at the cost of being SP and ISK intensive for a thankless job on the battlefield and misinformed players trying to nerf the very class that only wants to help because some tryhards want to abuse one specific suit due to broken core game mechanics.

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Dominion of the Supreme Emperor God-King KAGEHOSHI 7106	Posted - 2013.11.18 02:00:00 - [16] - Quote NO Logis don't need their light weapons taken away. Assaults just need to have bonuses to make their weapons better (thus be better at assaulting) like the Amarr assault enhances laser weaponry. Once TTK is fixed, the general assault bonus should be a 1% damage bonus for all light weapons per level to enhance the assault role.

Draco Cerberus Hell's Gate Inc 507	Posted - 2013.11.18 02:04:00 - [17] - Quote Having only a sidearm is bad because it is a huge limitation on what a Logi can do. Then they are limited to short-med range rather than being able to fire at all ranges. The limit to one light/sidearm is ok because it say you can only engage in one engagement range per fitting. *One Universe...with friendly fire and Open World Game Play for all!*

Assaults have access to all light weapons and and sidearms while they can equip two weapons. Logistics have access to all light weapons, but no sidearm. Amarr logi is the exception, but they get less equipment slots. I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

I just wish this game had done the smart thing and kept to the standard FPS rule. An AR has 30-31 rounds....and we had not balanced all other guns around ridiculous 60 round standard magazines. 60 Rounds effectively makes the AR an LMG, killing the role of LMG, and by extention relegating the HMG to a massive ammo cap, low accuracy spray n pray minigun.

Logi's are meant to be support which means they should be at a distance from the front lines but close enough to your teammates to ressuply them. Giving them only side arms severely reduces their effective range. Which is a logi's Specialty. Why not get rid of assault rifles. Oh and stop giving WP for kills. Oh lets make it so that logis can only revive people and give them ammo. This is literally the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Please do the world a favor and do not breed.

You did a fairly poor job of coming up with that information, seeing as it's a third correct, a third partially correct, and a third incorrect. When you say "intermediate round" you have to use it in context. Do you mean intermediate round across all platforms or just one broad category of weapons? You could be talking about intermediate rifle rounds or pistol rounds, you could also be putting both in the same pool. But then again this is all subjective BS, like what is a battle rifle vs. Marksman Rifle VS Assault Rifle. The M14 what is it? Battle Rifle? What if I only use a a scope and semi auto only? Marksman Rifle? What if I use full auto and a red dot sight? Assault Rifle? It doesn't use intermediate rifle rounds. Also I know that Carbine only applies to barrel length, hence the Brown Bess in the American Revolution (in its short land pattern) was a Carbine. Though I was using it in its modern context where it only applies to a shortened rifle. You may talk about PCC's, but even then you make a destinction between it and a shortened rifle. Hell, a freakin' Luger with a stock is considered a Carbine. Yet an Armalite based rifle is a pistol if you remove the butt stock, put it back on and it's a rifle ( -_-) But I'd like to reiterate, this is all nonsensical. Madness is the emergency exit.

The problem is they are required to fit weapons, and since they are meant for lots of equipment, they can field basically proto everything, making them better than assaults. Solution: require equipment slots be filled instead of weapons. Forces people to sacrifice some proto gear for equipment, whether they like it or not.

You mean the AMARR logi. No other logi suits have a side arm. Making a gun that is only practical to use for one race and class is just idiotic. facepalm This is idea is to support All Logis having ONLY sidearms, then the Amarr Logi would have two sidearms. Here's the biggest problem with the sidearm only argument. Think about the ranges the other classes are fighting at, now think about the range logis would be forced to fight at to support their team. Now decide if you would rather have dead weight support only on your team, or someone that can support you through kills and equipment. I don't see an issue with that. At standard engagement ranges Logi's support their squad first and can then deal with secondary targets who close the distance with great fire power, this would reinforce the support role IMO, I would logi if Logi suits weren't essentially the jack of all trades, master of all. (( and I do understand the Logi draw backs, but they can cover almost any other suits specialised role better than it can and still support the team)) Here I have to disagree Logis can't perform the other suits role better but they can cover a lot of roles and i belive this is what makes a good support class.

SMG wrecks face in CQC and the Scrambler I find is killing up to 50m. I'm an Armor tanker with an Assault MD with no sidearm taking splash damage in CQC, killing people trying to finish me with SMG. I've used SMG, they're decent, but no where near god-mode in CQC. Head shots, also flux grenade them first. Very much beast mode. That requires prep, and assuming you don't get head shot first. All of this goes both ways and the AR doesn't need Flux Nades or head-shots to melt someone using a SMG in less than a second.
