Hey CCP, why do variant rifles cost more if they aren't supposed to be better than the normal variants? As far as I know, variants used to cost more because of their role being substitutes for other race's rifles, so that you didn't have to start an entirely different SP tree just to have a burst or TAC weapon.
However, recent changes suggest that rifle variants are there not necessarily as substitutions to other race's rifles, but as standalone weapons that are chosen by preference. So why do they cost 1.7 times a normal variant's price at Advanced level?

Probably due to lore OR just the fact that you're able to "customize" the way your rifle works by using different parts for your weapon. By using these modifier upgrades, you will have to be willing to spend more isk.
This is my guess.
What I want to know, is why do the assault variants for rifles at STD need level 1, when the adv ones need 4. |

As I understand it, varient weapons no longer cost more than their standard counterparts. For example, the Six Kin CR and the Boundless CR both cost the same amount.

I thought the Standard Assault CR required Level 2 Operations.

This design choice is no longer in effect, as noted by the price normalization of Rifle variants.

Not grenades though.

Even the GEK Assault Rifle costs 10,000 isk for ONE. That rifle burns my wallet ALOT. Now I avoid buying that ASSault Rifle.

the only 'priceicided' weapons are the rifles.
now just do that to heavy weapons, sidearms, equipment, grenades, and the remaining light weapons. |
