Kierkegaard Soren THE HANDS OF DEATH RUST415 589	Posted - 2014.12.14 15:23:00 - [1] - Quote I've been using the differen variants of the AR and the ion pistol for a couple of months now, and whilst the former is by far they're effective weapon the latter is much more interesting and unique; it feels like a gallente firearm, if that makes any sense. Furthermore, the AR is slightly under performing within the current meta, and while I'm aware that hotfix echo is going to be tweaking many of the AR lineup I'd like to propose are more dramatic shift; allow the burst and TAC to hold and charge a plasma shot exactly like the ion pistol, with the weapon discharging a powerful plasma bolt that automatically overheats it but causes no feedback damage. Ideally I'd like all of them to do this but in not sure how we could make it happen from the controller input perspective (full auto fire would need a different button to hold to charge), so as to make it the defining feature of the gallente combat doctrine; hit hard, hit fast and overwhelm immediately. Feedback and trolling is of course welcome ;) Dedicated Commando. "He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing." -Paul Atreides.
Racro 01 Arifistan 501st Knights of Leanbox 469	Posted - 2014.12.14 15:41:00 - [2] - Quote wouldn't mind seeing such a feature on the breach ar. or coiuld just add a Charged Assault rifle variant. as you said acts like the ion pistol. is a one shot weapon that fires as fast as you can pull the trigger. has 5m less range than the other AR varients but has the highest dps potential due to the charged shot. would also put those bullshit scram rifles to shame.(by bullshit I mean anyone who uses a turbo controller for it) *Elite Gallenten Soldier*
Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 5744	Posted - 2014.12.14 15:55:00 - [3] - Quote If the assault rifle worked like the ion pistol I'd never touch it again. I loathe the ion pistol EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.
Kierkegaard Soren THE HANDS OF DEATH RUST415 589	Posted - 2014.12.14 16:13:00 - [4] - Quote Is that because the mechanics are fundementally poor or because said mechanics don't have the right numbers behind them to make it good? I too find the ion pistol really poor when it comes to actually killing stuff, but I think the core concept of the weapon is very sound and a lot of fun. I like the idea of the AR having the ability to simply punch a massive hole through an opponent with a bolt of plasma that acts as a built-in finisher; other suits might have to switch to a sidearm to get that killing blow but with yor trusty AR that last bullet could do as much alpha damage as a third of the entire magazine. It's very efficient, very gallente. Dedicated Commando. "He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing." -Paul Atreides.
Dauth Jenkins Titans of Phoenix 612	Posted - 2014.12.14 18:45:00 - [5] - Quote i could see this on the burst assault rifle, but i believe the tac should stay the same, otherwise it would just be another scrambler rifle -Sincerely --The Dual Swarm Commando
Kierkegaard Soren THE HANDS OF DEATH RUST415 589	Posted - 2014.12.14 19:29:00 - [6] - Quote Many weapons kind of mirror one another in functionality and type, and are differentiated by range, damage profile and suchlike. What I'm really looking for is way to developn the AR, which was once the stock rifle of Dust, into the unique signature weapon of the gallente. I envisaged this as a way to deal a large chunk of apha damage to shock and awe the enemy into submission. Dedicated Commando. "He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing." -Paul Atreides.

Kierkegaard Soren THE HANDS OF DEATH RUST415 592	Posted - 2014.12.14 23:56:00 - [8] - Quote That might not be possible from a technical point of view and even if it were slow-burn damage is not how the Gallente like to do business; plasma blasters are very violent, very powerful weapons that unleash a massive amount of heat upon an object in a fraction of a second as the magnetic containment field that surround the super-heated munition collapses upon contact with other solid matter. DoT is much more of an Amarr kind of thing. To me, anyway. Dedicated Commando. "He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing." -Paul Atreides.

Lightning35 Delta514 48TH SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCE 130	Posted - 2014.12.15 01:38:00 - [10] - Quote It's good as it is. Don't touch it. I'll be fine if they were to make a new varient that is close to the scramble rifle/ion pistol but leave the current gallente weapons as is. 48th Special Operations Force.

Lightning35 Delta514 48TH SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCE 130	Posted - 2014.12.15 01:47:00 - [11] - Quote Ion rifle- the same exact thing as the ion pistol Looks like an assault rifle but has extended barrel like combat rifle. 10 round clip Mid to high damge per shot (stronger than scrambler rifle) Mid to high range rifle (gallente sniper sort of if you want to think of it that way. Some what related to tactical except trades rof and ammo count for range and power What do you think? 48th Special Operations Force. "As a team or alone, I dominate the battlefield."
