I will agree sense of progression has been lost though and I am going to try to convince a scaling headshot damage bonus per tier leaving protos where they're at now.

Charge magazine I do not think will ever go back up to 5 shots again, 4's pushing it but that is highly risking putting the Standard or Tactical out of play again and I really don't want it to break it anywhere else

Range is not likely to change for any of the weapons.

Ammo Skill I have been asking for a change in to 2-3+ shots a level instead of the measly 5% which is about 6 shots

Damage of the charged was very considerate of at least giving scouts the opportunity to fit against a charge shot of a full proto maxi fit. While it is unreasonable for a scout to fit in such manner the option IS there.

Would be more inclined to listen if you got the point.

This is not a reason.

This is drama.

Let me stop you right there

We're not playing uprising 1.0 anymore.

This is clearly not the path to go for the following reasons

1. It devalues higher level game play severely reducing the values of progression for a sense from a new player and old players who already progressed on the skill; does nothing to address the original complaint that is no or lesser of a reason to skill up the rifle at all as sway is not much of a factor unless you're playing around with the tactical.

2. It defies logic as to why a more advanced weapon in a normal tier progression would lose combat stats. No other weapon does this in the entire game.

3. Increasing the headshot multiplier would greatly devalue the use of damage mods. In many conditions the sniper rifle is a very powerful weapon in the correct circumstances and with the more recent armor nerf there is I am afraid no more maxi suits that can tank a maxi charge rifle let alone the officer one.

4. Because of the devaluation of damage mods the value of more HP mods would lead to more tankier snipers to which may be able to get their shield high enough that it would knock a larger number of countering suit fits off the table as they're no longer able to arm themselves sufficiently to deal with the issue anymore and thus has a cascade effect of further devaluing their SP investments and ultimately

5. Proto or go home mentality will set in again just no longer focusing on the rifle but the mods supporting it and with lower fitting penalties of the lower tier rifles the suit can easily afford to prototype everything else.

I'll be honest

No; I don't; too many distractions in your arguments; far too much reliance on me trying to read your mind.

I used to have a lot of fun with the tactical, worth specing back into?
