But i noticed some very obvious drawbacks:
-The 'dumbfire' round explodes in mid flight for no apparent reason.
If the reason is fuel it should fly straight,then arc downward as gravity pulls it only exploding after it makes contact with a surface.
-The radius is only 1m even though the explosion animation completely covers a merc,meaning its direct hit or bust
-Dat breach variant does more damage but less radius,as expected....but with a 1m radius on the normal variant it seems redundant to need to directly hit a target with it when it's advantage should be radius.

Fixes:
-Remove the mid air exploding
-Increase radius on the normal variant to 3m.
-Increase damage of the breach variant

Are you crazy?

You know why the thing was nerfed in the first place right?

I agree. The large blast radius of the Flaylock is why it got nerfed into oblivion. It needs a mild buff and I fear that any radius increase would be too unbalancing.

I'd rather earn my kills please o_o On the other note, I have always stated that the range on the flaylock is way too small, it should go untill it explodes or at least another 20m or so... sometimes you can't even hit people and all you are standing on the lowest building on the map ;/ Breach variant needs some love, instead of increasing the damage I propose the introduction of the Core Breach Flaylock with higher damage introduced for people invested in the SP and willing to spend the isk for proto Breach Flaylock. Boggles my mind how they have basic breach flaylock and not even adv or proto versions.... FORGE/FLAYLOCK/FISTS--NUFF SED YOU SHALL NOT CATCH ME FOR I AM THE GINGERBREAD FATMAN -Romulus H3X

The flaylock is shorted on ammo and range as well as radius yet the bolt pistol has range,ammo capacity,and even damage advantage. Increasing the radius by 1-2m on an EXPLOSIVE makes sense seeing how splash does 100+damage,it actually makes sense seeing that a force causing such high damage would create enough force for a small radius of explosion. 1+1=2 These aren't directed impact explosions like the breach variant,nor are they as hefty as a MD to increase its radius to such extremes. Currently the splash focused variant hits for .25m wider than the breach,no other weapon for any race has the breach even remotely close to the other variants.

The flaylock is amusing to shoot and a good way to point out enemies,but other than that its just a firework launcher. Increasing damage won't help unless you CAN ACTUALLY HIT SOMETHING. Removing the mid-air explosion won't help unless you CAN ACTUALLY HIT SOMETHING. TBH the ONLY thing the flaylock needs is radius,considering you're FIRING A BOMB THAT CAN DO 100+ DAMAGE. It's a BOMB, it's SUPPOSED to be dangerous because of it's EXPLOSION. It's ISN'T supposed to play by projectile rules of needing to be dead on to do any damage. And since it ISN'T currently,it's just a cheaper crapier version of the bolt pistol! Was banned for fighting for logistics survival on 7/25/2014 02:11. Logistics will never be respected.
Sly Marb0 Screaming Falcons 12	Posted - 2014.08.14 06:35:00 - [14] - Quote What about a larger but notably lesser damaging blast? This way a direct hit can do the most damage, a near hit does rewarding damage, while a proximity hit allows you to actually still hit and fight but at a low enough damage it doesn't become too powerful. I enjoy the flaylock and feel the damage itself is right on but the ability to consistently connect just isn't there.

Even at the height of their use I hardly ever got killed by a flaylock. The nerf was needed, and it was over-nerfed. It needs to be brought back, but this isn't the way. You don't need more splash. Learn to aim. The main problem is dealing enough damage to kill. Right now, you can barely even kill a normal Med Assault frame with 3 direct shots. Most survive with around 100-200 armor left. Splash needs a bit more damage, up into the 200's Direct damage needs a LARGE buff. You are hitting someone in the chest with a mini-rocket. I want 300 damage. 350 at proto. This means you deal 420 a shot to armor. Direct shots should deal pretty insane damage, to encourage people to go for the direct shots instead of splash people to death. It should be Direct shots to kill normal targets. Splash is used for wounded targets. Meant for versatility, just like the minmatar.

These would work,i just find it insane the radius is only .25m more than the breach. It requires a direct shot,which does less damage... It makes me wonder why have 2 guns that have the same limitations? Yet one actually does better (breach). Was banned for fighting for logistics survival on 7/25/2014 02:11.
