IT needs to be a high alpha, low dps weapon. Low ROF, high damage per shot, long range.

So give it a 10 point per shot increase. and make it charge between each shot. Adjust charge time accordingly to make the dps lower than all the other rifles.

The gun is fine.

Seriously, it is fine.

Focus on the CR and the SCR if you want to nerf. Put a charge up time on those to stop modded controller abuse.

I will poop on your existence if this happens.

All the rifles are fine. Why complain about the rail rifle? Duvolles and boundless are easily just as good. Maybe not at the same ranges but I assure you of this: get into the desired range of the weapon and use it correctly and youll stop complaining about rails. Top guys using proto will always be unpleasant.

Please man up.

Nerf all the ar's, then nerf the RR again because CCP can't copy SIMPLE Sci-Fi range to damage ratios into the rail rifle.

Scr does it too.

Let's have a gun that's cool in CQC. Then one that's slightly worse in CQC but does 100 damage a burst! OOH OOH and then, let's have a laser weapon, and make it shoot AS FAST AS YOU CAN PULL. Did i mention it has yet farther range than the previous two?

OOOOOOOOHHHH AAND AND. Let's have a rapid fire sniper rifle that shoots SUPER PRECICELY, has no recoil until half the clip is empty, has double the range of the last 3, AND make it spit out the same Damage Per Second!? GENIOUS.

Overheat is unnecessary if we lower the DPS through ROF. It should be thehighest damage per shot of all the rifles, as it is now, but shoot very slow (relatively) which in this case it does not. Charging between each shot keeps it as a breach weapon, slows firing rate, which can be improved with skills if CCP so desires, and let's it dominate at range, but hinders it in CQC, where other rifles can spit out more raw DPS, albeit from a shorter range.

technically the scr rifle has the highest damage per shot.

still you have a good point. Use the same firing mechanics as the small rail turret, the RR should have a the same firing mechanice as all other rail tech in the game albeit faster.

The RR shouldn't be useless close range. But, it shouldn't be on par with a GAR or CR.

galente AR and CR are balanced verse each other because although the CR does more potential damage it is a burst fire weapon with an over-sampling cap (no turbo controlers for minmatar ...lol). the GAR has almost no recoil and the CR has the highest recoil among all the assault rilfes. therefore GAR = CR. balanced. The RR needs to be balanced against the Scr for longer range combat.

in this way in CQC the flow should be:

GAR = CR > RR = Scr

and at long range:

Scr = RR > GAR = CR

Again, neither the Scr rifle nor the RR need be utterly useless at close range but they should NEVER be more effective than a GAR or CR.

As an additional note for RR abuse- i ran my Min Assault today, mixed with Adv commando. I used assault CR and rs-90 cr combo. basic RR would (no joke) kill be before i could even empty half my Cr clip out on them, they stood perfectly still, and shot me.
Next match i ran the same thing, but used my Bk-42. Kaalakiota's nearly outmatched me, but i won 50/50.
Assault rails on the other hand- i sneak up on a CK.0 already without shields. I shoot CK.0. CK0 has stacked plates so he doesn't die easily, turns around, spews ARR all over the wall and kills me. This happened 5 times.
Not just with CK.0's either. I've had this happen with the enemy being in a half wounded 600hp galscout, a starter frame with a ARR, a militia heavy with an ARR, and even a minmatar logi.

How can you defend a weapon that is so horribly broken that it wins fights for you EVEN WHEN THEIR VICTIM snuck up on them, attacks in numbers, AND uses super burst tactics(flux nade, follow with CR.)??????

Break their crutch. Snap it in half, burn it in a pit, then spray paint it chrome so you can say it's still a shiny new toy.

Caldari weapons are high in range AND damage. learn the lore.

When you see literally 90% of the player base using the same gun, something is wrong.
