Is that something being looked at? This. Game literally unplayable. Worst mechanic. CCP pls. That's actually one of the factors I would like to take a look at. One thing out of personal curiosity: How would you (everyone), in your minds define each rifle's role so as to not have them overlap each other? Just for Rail Rifle, Combat Rifle, Plasma (Assault) Rifle and Scrambler Rifle. Don't worry so much about their variants for now, just think about the base versions.
I know what you're going for LogiBro and I appreciate you seeking input from the community, but this still this irks me... There have been a lot of these types of questions over time from the Devs. The question I always asked myself whenever I saw this posed to the community was, "What was the Devs original vision for this? What were the designers, people whose jobs consisted of actually working on Dust for a living, thinking when they came up with the concepts of the weapons and started fleshing out the designs, stats, etc."
Sure, the item has a cool back story and paragraphs of text explaining its history, design, and neat terms like "turtle-poo powered arc anti-reactors", but what place does the item have within the game? Does it actually fill a niche, or was the item's sole purpose to create an imbalance, an SP sink, and to drive Aurum sales, meaning there was little to no thought given to actual gameplay or balance.
What I would honestly like to see is the game as the designer's intended. This would show us all whether CCP truly has a grasp of gameplay mechanics and balance with an FPS, or whether they're just making it up as they go along and hiding behind the "HTFU" mantra when things get out of whack. (I think it would honestly give me more confidence in CCP's future projects as well. )
The tremendous amount of imbalance, bad fittings, glitches, and errors in 1.7 & 1.8 should never have happened. Not to mention there are still items missing/broken since beta- not being able to run/jump smoothly over basic terrain, inability to sell items to even to a regular store for ISK, etc..
As exciting as Legion or Valkyrie may seem, Dust is actually here. Now.
And instead of it being fixed, it remains broken.
Instead of demonstrating leadership, instead of taking responsibility for what's broken and fixing it, you're turning to us- the players for suggestions.
And yet, we're supposed to embrace Legion?
(mic drop, exit stage left)
Moo.
