Bwahahaha, I love the "Range in CM" bit at the bottom

I definitely love the change to normalized ranges. Hell, it might even help with proto stomping.

As for tweaks, keep in mind to keep each weapon's identity. You have already seen the effect of changing identities, when you gave the Scrambler Pistol different behavior and everyone started whining.
Another thread had someone propose a higher rof for the Breach AR, for example, which would be the wrong way to go. The Breach is supposed to fire less bullets that hit harder, at slightly longer ranges, but have less of a chance of hitting targets with random spraying.
I'm also in favor of giving the Burst AR the five bullet burst back, just for the sake of diversity and to fit in line with the Gallente close-combat affinity. (More bullets = Less chance of missing during the randomness that is close combat)

By the way, will this hotfix also change the name of the Assault Rifle? Or is this planned for later?

1. That's a very important step. I'd like to +2 this if I could. Don't trade it off when the complaints come in.

2. The numbers *look* alright. Though here are my observations:
- Why does the BAR advance from 511 to 593 DPS whereas the CR advances from 567 to 594 from ADV to PRO. Are these values correct? The relative increase seems uneven.
- What was the thought behind having the ARR being 8% more powerful than the RR itself?
- Maybe the whole Assault-tree needs to be toned down a bit. For reference the ACR, maybe the most powerful weapon in the game, is receiving a 9% buff over the current numbers. This seems unnecessary.

3. Would you mind introducing these numbers in steps? You could e.g. go half the way on the changes in hotfix bravo and deploy the rest with the following hotfixes. I'm afraid I can't say anything about these numbers until I've looked at them and if they don't feel well I could only say so after it's too late.

why nerf the rof of scrambler rifle?

from pervious discussion rattari you said

Still waiting on those optimal range figures... nerfing the range of the AR is definately not a thing I am happy about... unless the 8M loss was just to effective range in which case IDC because a Gallente shouldn't be chasing his effective range unless he wants to be brutally destroyed

This might've been mentioned before, but here goes.

Since you were talking about giving Starter Fits their racial weaponry and were considering giving them the assault variant for ease of use (unless I was mistaken), is there any consideration to adding some militia/standard versions of the rifle variants?

Just considered, while running my Caldari Assault and ARR combo, that I would really love to have a Standard Assault Rail Rifle to be able to run this fit without needing a PG Upgrade and keep the fit itself cheap

is it possible to get some other variants for the other rifles now. like a breach combat, breach scramble, and a tacticale Rail?

Also, can we get militia variants of CR, Scr, and RR on our militia fits?
