I don't understand this sentiment. I've got proficiency III in SMG, ScP, Flaylock, and Nova Knives on my main character.
I've got Proficiency III in Bolt Pistol, Magsec, and Ion Pistol each on a single, separate account.
The SMG is not my goto weapon. The Scrambler Pistol is, specifically the TY-5.
I think the Viziam Scrambler Pistol needs a very small increase in rate of fire. It just does not hold up to 40CPU/8PG cost it has, making the TT-3, TY-5, or Carthum far better choices. From 1.0 to 1.7 basically the Viziam Scrambler Pistol was to the Carthum Assault Scrambler Pistol what the Duvolle Specialist Shotgun was to the CreoDron Shotgun, reduced clip size and reduced ammo capacity. I really wish it would return to that state.
Scrambler Pistols also need to have the Prototype Burst and Breach variants available- we call all see in the SDK that they have existed for a very long time.
My biggest issue with the Flaylock currently is hit-detection because it is done server-side and even though I see my target inside the blast radius on my screen they have already moved far beyond that. I'd like a little more direct damage and another +3 to total ammo, and an ADV and PRO Breach.
Nova Knives are basically getting what they need in charlie, save for the desperate need for backpedaling speed to be reduced to equal or below strafing speed.
I like the Magsec, but there is just too much muzzle flare. The kick may be too much, but it also gives it flavor.
The Ion Pistol is just an utter piece of crap. Classic CCP. There was so very, very much feedback prior to its release outlining how terrible it was going to be. And guess what?! It acutally turned out to be worse than we expected! All the problems we predicted were there, only with the additional bonus of it having the most spastic dispersion of anything in the entire game. It also basically feels like the Ion Pistol's Sharpshooter skill actually makes the dispersion worse.
BTW, the pre-release critisisms were: auto-stun from a charge is just stupid. Like, whoever thought that was a good idea should be flayed alive for everyone to watch so no-one ever acts that extraordinarily stupid again. The DPS is less than the Scrambler Pistol dispite is having more dispersion and less range making it the worst choice possible. And many, many, more!
Bolt Pistol? Simply not enough rounds in a clip. 6 at STD, ADV, and PRO is just bad. The TY-5 Breach Scrambler Pistol is far superior to the PRO Bolt Pistol because the bolt pistol doesn't has the headshot bonus and it is just completely unforgiving if you miss a shot.
If you think the SMG is too good as it stands, why not just take out the Sharpshooter skill and refund people the SP?
Like, the sharpshooter skill is what makes high rate of fire weapons so effective - well that, aim assist, and stun locking.
If you can't keep up, shut up.

Buff IoP to similar levels.
Lower BoP fitting Requirements. (6PG!)
Buff FlaP Coast Radius and Direct Damage. Possibly give it another round in the mag? No. The SCP was hilariously overpowered at old levels.Larry Desmo wrote:id likeit if the ion pistols charged shot didnt overheat it untill about the third shot maby the fourth.
and the bolt pistol is easier to fit than an smg on most of my suits id really like it if you dont mess with the smg at all. 1000 damage in 3 shots? Totally balanced.
The Scrambler Pistol was most certainly not OP at the time. It was in a perfect spot.
But it needed to change because of the TTK adjustments.
The breach variant was my favorite pistol in closed/open beta, but until they reduced the RoF on the regular it was useless.
I GÖÑ the re-balancing the ScP got as it does a good job fitting in, in this world where you don't see 2+ damage mods on every Medium Frame

You think that that's bad? try having proficiency V in shotguns. It's a complete waste of SP to have any SP in shotguns past Operations III. TTK doesn't change between CRG-3 with prof 0 and CreoDron Prof 5. The only difference is ISK and fitting costs. Bravo guys that did that change. Another set of people that i'd like love to see injected with a paralytic agent and let Gunnar Nelson beat bloody.
