Consider this:
There is an Assault variant
There is a Breach variant
A Burst variant has been mentioned
A Tactical variant has also been mentioned
This just leaves the Standard SMG, so my question is what kind of "variant" is the standard SMG?
Is it going to disappear as part of the Delta balancing?
In which case which variant do you think will be the Minmatar standard? |

Maybe they're their own special Jack-In-The-Box variants.
Which makes me wonder what a bolt pistol version on the "standard" variant ScP would be called...

How would anyone feel about an Assault "Assault Rifle" that has more range and a higher RoF? Seems rather silly to have an SMG that is just that.

Perhaps the SMG variants could move closer to to how the HMG variants works?
Assault having a longer range but lower damage.
For reference:
Boundless Heavy Machine Gun
Effective range:5250.0
Fire Interval:0.025
Damage:19.8
Freedom Assault Heavy Machine Gun
Effective range:7087.5
Fire Interval:0.025
Damage:15.84
Six Kin Submachine Gun
Effective range:4800.0
Fire Interval:0.06
Damage:23.1
Ishukone Assault Submachine Gun
Effective range:5040.0
Fire Interval:0.057
Damage:23.1

Assault should have a lower range than normal variant... at least according to the light weapon naming convention. Assault type is lower range and higher rof variant. Breach would then be the opposite, higher range lower RoF. A big complaint I have with this game is that the variant names are not consistent at all between different weapons. Its like you guys just had a design and slapped a name on it, no consistency whatsoever. Why is the Assault Rail or Combat Rifle a lower range and high RoF variant of the original and then the Assault HMG is a long range variant? This kind of stuff confuses new players and just generally looks inconsistent and unprofessional. (imo at least) It is only really the assault hmg that is well out of line in terms of naming for the reason you mention. It could be made slightly shorter range than regular hmg, lower damage, higher RoF (so similar dps). Make the assault smg follow the same pattern suggests and youre golden.
^ I like this idea. Make the HMG and SMG follow the rifles.

Not only is it the same exact thing as the original one, but it is much better in almost every way but fitting costs. It's, also, manufactored by Ishukone. A Caldari Corp. Masters of breach-type weapons making an assault variant of a Minmatar weapon. Am I the only one seeing something wrong here?
This is good too. +1
