why is the damage output between the basic and adv only a 2.5 point increase, whats the point to buying an advanced ion pistol when the basic one is just as good and cheaper, i havn even looked at the proto one yet but i bet its just as weak as the advanced one. |

Great question. If you use the ion pistol often let me know your thoughts on what could make it better!

i do use it often and i love it except thatit over heats way to easily and the charged shot over heat suks too i wouldlike it to get at least one charge shot off without over heating it. and the other 2 teirs suck compared to the basic version. |

add in 1 or 2 shots if you only use a charged shot, sounds cool to me. And yeah, i'm not positive what the scaling is supposed to look like, but we'll mull it over.

also while im thinking about it what could be done about getting an assault rifle variant that functions similar to the ion pistol, one with a charge shot capability along with an over heat mechanic? a charge assault rifle or somthing? |

Mag size boost, proto scrambler piston has more rounds than Ion. Keep the low range, add ROF and a small bit of damage and fix the overheating and BAM it may be OP. (I use the ion piston on my assault-G1)
Why must you use prototypes?

yeah kinda like the scrambler except its a blaster weapon and my suit would get a bonus for it unlike a scrambler. |

Proto Ion Pistol Prof III
Charge isn't worth it. It gets you killed more often than not. The fact that it overheats and seizes after 1 shot means that it is NEVER a good idea to charge, because of the dangers of missing.
Spamming in CQC works fairly well, but if you want something for that use, you're better off with an SMG.
If it is going to have limited clip size, it needs more damage to compensate.
Think of it this way: The SMG has a large clip, but is balanced by the fact that it has a higher TTK. You need the bullets to kill targets. It can still kill 2-3 targets in succession, making it good for drawn out battles.
To balance it, the lower clip size sidearms need more damage to compensate. This includes the Flaylock, Ion, Bolt, and Scrambler pistols (Scrambler not so much due to headshot damage).
Flaylock needs a direct damage buff.
Ion needs a damage buff overall (I'm thinking somewhere around the 60-70 range. This puts Damage per clip around 720-840. This is just around the ballpark for any Med Frame)
I actually think that the bolt is in a good place. Kicks like a mule, has high damage and high range, but low clip size. It does it's job, unlike the FP and IP.
If you want to, I'll talk to you in-game about this (And even run the pistol again. I haven't touched it after my brief interest in it.)
EDIT: Oh yeah, please for the love of god do something about the dispersion. This thing is inaccurate as hell at any range outside of 0-8m. Even at 10m and Sharpshooter III, I still have shots go wide of the target.
