Jebus McKing Jebus Hates Scans 1163	Posted - 2014.12.03 10:31:00 - [1] - Quote So, can we finally have the weapon range stats in-game in the weapon stats info screen, please? This is long overdue, should be relatively simple to do, and will help everyone a lot, especially new players. It should show optimal ranges, and effective ranges including damage falloff percentage at max effective range. Just add it to your to-do list, make it high priority since it is very important when a new player tries to pick the right weapon or tries to understand why his AR doesn't deal any damage even though the enemy is not even 100m away from him. Make it happen either in a hotfix after 1.10 or with the next major release in february, please. This is important, especially for the new guys. Thanks. You have been scanned

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 5268	Posted - 2014.12.03 17:01:00 - [3] - Quote I agree, although it would be a bit misleading with high dispersion weapons such as the HMG and Shotgun. They have much longer effective range on paper than they do in the field. I guess that would become an issue of community education... ie, my job. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Effective is the best range to use in, and Optimal is what again? Ace Boone's Son/ Danizzle's Friend/ OG GAM4LIfe "Are you a boy or girl?" -Most asked question in Dust Waiting for SWBF
Jebus McKing Jebus Hates Scans 1187	Posted - 2014.12.04 07:07:00 - [8] - Quote Optimal = 100% damage Effective = 100-25% damage Absolute range = 25-0% damage IIRC You have been scanned

Imp Smash Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 457	Posted - 2014.12.06 02:42:00 - [14] - Quote Don't forget the Damage fall off curve. CCP hasn't stated this directly that I have seen -- but in my (possibly incorrect) experience weapons have a 'rate' at which the damage falls off from 100% as you pull from Optimal to Effective to Absolute. Some weapons' damage drops to the lower end of the damage spectrum just 1 or 2 meters outside of optimal or outside of effective. Others keep their damage almost at 100% until they get near the end of effective. That falloff curve is a completely overlooked stat that really effects how flexible weapons are and really affect their power!

Sole Fenychs Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 564	Posted - 2014.12.22 12:05:00 - [21] - Quote This is essential. I just got to play Dust again after a few months of hiatus and I was totally confused at the ranges of my AR. I'm not even sure if anything changed, but I felt that the range was much longer than it used to be. I would love to be able to confirm it right in the fitting screen.
BraiNing Harloon MANUFACTURERS OF DEATH 5	Posted - 2014.12.23 18:23:00 - [22] - Quote +1 Would be awesome if the stats in game showed optimal, effective and absolute ranges. I would be happy if that info was shown in a guide or doc on the forum or site out of game.

Laushanter Acate G.R.A.V.E 3	Posted - 2015.01.20 01:39:00 - [25] - Quote Dig through the posted Google spreadsheets. Visual ranging UI may clutter an already info-rich view on the weapon as well. Gentle rule of thumb, gauge the attack ranges at: 30m for Sides, 50m for AR types, drivers, and cannons, 70m for lasers and 150m for current date SRs (except Thale's, that hits 400m out consistently)

So I think "cluttering" isn't really an issue. This is mainly for people playing the game without ever visiting the forums or searching the web for stats. The problem is not that the info isn't there, the problem is that it is too hard to find out for a new player why his AR is absolutely useless even though the target is hardly 100m away. I think this should be really easy to do and it would help people to understand the game immensely. You have been scanned

Coloring the range numbers when ontarget would allow for the information to be shared without clutter. 0 -> Optimal: Green -> Effective: Yellow -> Absolute: Red Ad Space Available Here 1m Isk/day Mail me message after transferring Isk (sig updated upon transfer completion)
