So, the million-dollar question is, will this be enough range to get the job done. I would have liked the effective to be more like 120-130ish personally. I'm willing to wait-and-see though.

The main issue at the moment is not being able to compete with rail rifles.

An effective range of 120m should be plenty to compete. If I recall correctly effective range should be about 30% damage efficiency.

This will probably turn the long range meta from RR dominance to LR dominance. Depending on the mysterious changes to short range LR damage this should give the LR back its niche. If the laser suddenly becomes useful in short range and CQC then it'll just be the RR once again.

No sign of an optimal range number in Vell0cet's csv unfortunately.

Just so ya know even it the LR had full close range damage it would suck at cqc as its hipfire is WAY to accurate for the two steppers. To give ya an example the HMG had the LR's hip fire from uprising 1.0-1.7 and how useful was it xD

Pulled it out at most once a week maybe just for the heck of it but too frustrating with the RR spam. Just started using it a bit more now so I'll be ready to go once 1.8 hits. IKR? Took an Amarr medium frame with a laser rifle and 2 complex damage mods, the enemy shrugs it off like it's nothing. Then proceeds to get stuck on terrain and blown away by a Railgun. Embarassing.

Does anyone know what units they're in? pretty sure that translates to 110m and 250m. So it puts them at a little bit longer range than the RR. BYE BYE RAIL RIFLE SCRUBS ! ! !

Marc Rime 312	Posted - 2014.03.20 11:24:00 - [36] - Quote So the effective range seems to have been bumped from 90 to 110m. No idea if it's even possible to figure out the range profile from the SDE. Absolute range doesn't tell you much, most weapons seem to have 250m. Besides, LR damage takes a sharp dive past its effective range, compared to, say, all the rifles.

I can't even tell you how many times I died to a single swipe of a Viziam Laser Rifle prior to 1.0. The cloak should allow you to engage in CQC much more easily now though. It should be interesting to see how it all plays out. I know I'll be paranoid about getting shotgunned/knifed when I'm rocking the LR. Best PvE idea ever!
