We have been telling CCP to include more stats in-game - including weapon ranges - for months and months, if not years now. I don't know what the problem is, but so far they refused to do it or had more important things to fix.

Things would be so much easier if we had those stats in-game, not just for new players but for all of us.

One thing I only recently realised- there is no way within the game for new players to see the various effective ranges of the different weapons.

This will likely be leading to players engaging in inappropriate fights, due solely to a lack of information. At 60m, a Rail Rifle will horrendously out-DPS an AR, but new players may not realise this is due to a range disparity.

This could, in turn, be followed by a bias towards use of the longer-ranged guns, when players start using what they perceive as 'overpowered' weaponry.

Is there any way to get this stuff patched into the game without a client fix, as this information seems critical to ensuring proper education of new arrivals.

Effective and Max Range should be a stat to put in. but as it stands its a formulated line and not a number.

Not only do we need to see Maximum Optimal and Maximum Effective ranges for weapons.

We also need to see damage profile types.

It's laughable that there is a tooltip on the loading screen that says, "x type of weapon is more effective against x type of defense" etc, but there is NO way a player can know what type of weapon he has.

So here's a small list of information that we need access to in game:

- Maximum Optimal Weapon Range
- Maximum Effective Weapon Range
- Weapon Damage Profile (inc. after proficiencies, passives, and damage mods applied)
- Scan Radius, Precision, and Dampening (inc. after modules, equipment, and passives applied)
