I sincerely hope this thread is intentionally silly. More often than not SCR users are absolute ****. They sit around in their Amarr Proto suits with 1000 eHP and a Viziam and try to pick you off from long range.

I actually got killed by one of these guys today when trying to hack a letter. He was standing on a hill high up top.
Then I spawned, flanked all the way around and killed him 3 times in a row while using an all ADV Minmatar Assault fitting.
You know how I was able to do that?

1. Okay, I'm a pretty competent shooter.
2. SCR users are absolute **** up close or basically any other situation outside the safety of their long range.

Agree to disagree here. While most SCR users are not good, there are a select few. Also, tbh...I'm just as good in CQC as I am at a distance (though I prefer my 40-50m range for maximum effectiveness).

stlcarlos989 SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 1099	Posted - 2014.02.05 15:10:00 - [61] - Quote Me and my corpmate tested this in FW he was using a proficiency 4 Visiam SCR with 2 complex damage mods. My LAV gunner suit had 503 Shields and 679 armor, one charge shot to the chest dropped me to 590 armor. The SCR is OP because its base damage is far too high its supposed to be weak against armor but with proficiency 5 and 2 complex damage mods it does 87 damage to armor thats ridiculous for a weapon doing 80% damage to armor. The RR is OP and anyone denying it is lying to themselves. The CR needs a bit of a range nerf, but when comparing the Six Kin CR is does less DPS then the duvolle, but the CR appears stronger because it does 110% damage to armor and the duvolle does 90% damage to armor. Since a majority of the game armor tanks the CR is better, if shields got a buff and making more people shield tank then the duvolle will appear more powerful.

At the end of 1.6 more people were using SCR than AR. Then 1.7, the new rifles, we are curious and we use them, but the scr waits in the shadows with its OPness. The other reason ScR doesn't have more users is it takes a massive SP investment to get the most out of it. Every other rifle (except LR, lol) you just put points into the rifle and, provided you have any medium proto suit, you're basically maxed out. But with ScR you have to max out the rifle and the Amarr Assault to be maxed. Very, very few players have 5 million unallocated SP lying around to do that. even without tons of SP its still rediculous you can do massive damage. after the first few games the player learns to manage the over heat. even without amarr frame. i used a minmatar frame and did this back in 1.6 before Scr got their buff in 1.8 I do agree it does too much damage, just saying why you don't see more of them than you do. That 5mil SP path to maxing it certainly put me off specing it.

Also, tbh...I'm just as good in CQC as I am at a distance (though I prefer my 40-50m range for maximum effectiveness). Been running an Ammarian alt trying to understand the enemy, etc. At the beginning i had concerns about the damage fallof curve for the SCR and short range weakness, but after a couple of months on a now 2.5 million sp alt no concerns remain. Lvl 3 SCR operation, lvl1 Assault, lvl 1 logi, no damage mods, ADV SCR - everything dies. The weak link in the chain is the operator. In the hands of a top-end player, the SCR is the most powerful weapon in the game imo. I support SP rollover.

Yeah SCR is quite a beast in someones capable hands, i was playing around yesterday with the Combat Rifle until i came up against a team of good players, witch made me swap to my SCR. Not a whole lot of people make me swap. They took losing to 1 person quite well as a team and i received proper mail for once instead of my SCR fitting in someplace the sun never shines.

When I see a scrambler in the kill feed, I gain a little hope that this game isn't completely down the crapper... And to all that say the ScR is OP: it actually takes skill to use...you have to actually aim. Unlike the other rifles where you just spray around you, hoping to kill them Scr and commando enthusiast.

Just because the RR/CR is even more OP doesn't change anything about the SCR beeing OP...the same is true for the AR compared to all non rifle weapons it is still OP the other rifles or just even more OP (okay way more OP)

And I tap the trigger twice to kill you with my CR And my RR will three-shot you. And only one of those guns overheats and makes you die. Where is the problem, again? And of the top two, the ScR has like 250% PG consumption, and 20% CPU consumption. amarr bonus makes overheating hard to due unless your out right spamming.... I used it at operation 4 and I never over heated unless I was trying to kill 2 heavie back to back. This is before the 1.8 scrambler buff mind you... CR will 2 burst (thats still 6 shots) him, but its also has the most recoil, dispersion and highest damage fall off of any assault rifle in the game. problem? Hahaha what?! Oh yeah, I'm sure the CR or even ACR has way more recoil than, say, a Rail Rifle? I'm also pretty sure that a weapon which is supposed to be good at CQC/Medium Range encounters has the worst dispersion of all rifles. /sarcasm Love the sinner, hate the Sindromer.

Like there will be a massive use of magsec SMG in 1.8 it's just fotm. 1.8 it's so secret that nobody know what will be in it, even after patch notes...
