If not, I'm going to start speccing into BP. That thing is still way OP. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

It's still a 50 meter shotgun, even with the charge time. I'm doing it

If extreme accuracy was the intended use of the weapon then give it a huge headshot bonus, but tone down the damage to sub 100. As it stands now, it's a cannon that fits in the palm of your hand.
As for me, I'm going to purchase the Blueprint Militia BP and run around laying waste to proto fittings using my 0 ISK double BP fitting. Enjoy.

After the second round of nerfs to the SCP, I noticed that it is most effective in the 10-15 meter range. Even at the most effective range, the non-breach SCP is essentially like shooting marshmallows at your opponent. It often takes more than a full 13 round clip to do any significant damage, hitting the opponent with every shot. While I was previously a huge SCP fan befoe nerfs 1 and 2, it is now agonizing to use and while I do weave, jump and use random movement during encounters, the use of the SCP often gets me killed.
Having abandoned the SCP, I specced into the SMG, which is quite an effective little buggar. It is more effective than the SCP in TTK, easy to get head shots, and more reliable than the SCP in any circumstance, not to mention especially in a laggy game where fully automatic weapons have the advantage over semi auto.
The BP, however beats both the SCP and SMG in TTK, and range. The limitation is ammo, but the force is quite strong with this one and aim assist compensates for the low ammo. During the sidearm event, I played a double militia bolt pistol and wrecked people left and right, laughing at the easy mode nature of the weapon. The "nerf" to charge time has not offset the power of the weapon IMO.
I regularly die to BPs while at full health and I am running around in my default eHP scout (no sheidl/armor tanking) at top speed darting, weaving and jumping 50-60 meters away. This weapon is way OP and I will exploit it as long as it continues; absurd really.
Just last night, on the line harvest map, I was causing heavies to seek cover as I terrorized them with my double militia BP from at least 50 meters away.

Your BP technique is probably hurting a little bit. Don't use it to run up in people's faces while firing. Keep your distance. If they're too close to you, back off as you charge up.
In the same vein, I can't tell you how many times I have scout charged heavies while weaving back and forth and they whip out a BP and one shot me  right before I strike the final blow (death screen Sentinal ak.0, Bolt Pistol, 0 shield, 0 armor).

I'm not complaining. I simply want to verify that there are no nerfs coming down the pipe for this weapon. I hate speccing into a branch of the skill tree, only to find that I have wasted my SP a month later when the next hotfix comes out.

I am not complaining. I am stating that it is OP IMO and I am going to use it as such. I was merely asking about Dust current affairs. Are there any nerfs in store for this weapon? That is all.
