During this event I've ran the APEX Serpent Scout quite a lot.
The suit dies fast and the shotgun kills fast. A perfect tool to feed the death machine.
The sidearm however...I don't know what it's used for.
I looked at putting some points in the ole Ion Pistol until I looked at what it would actually do.
It reduced the charge time on the charged shot.
You mean that thing that leaves your hands screaming for three seconds while you try to run away because it's stupid?
How about it also reducing the time you're left vulnerable after it, or increasing it's range?
All I would do with the Ion pistol was see how many rounds I could shoot as fast as possible. That part isn't bad at all. In fact make that the draw of the gun. Increase it's rate of fire with operations. Put the charge shot in the trash, or give it a stun lock, so you aren't the only person screaming like a girl when it happens.
I would use the charge shot only in situations where I wanted someone to chase me, sort of like pulling up my skirt and running away with my bare ass hanging out. Why am I in a skirt you say? That's exactly how I feel about the Ion pistol. If the Serpent Scout wasn't pre-fitted with the horrible thing I'd never use it.
Am I doing it wrong?
It has no range, you can't follow it up with anything, and despite what I was told about there being a glitch that allows you to fire the shotgun faster, I don't know why I can't use it, other than alerting everyone to me having a better gun waiting for them when they chase me.
Any and all input is welcome, except from the Amarr, but I'd really like to get how one of the Devs feelings on the weapon and it's bonus. I know they can't all be winners, but come one, give it something redeemable. That or let me know why I'm wrong.
Who has the officer varient, is it another Kubo's weapon? The officer behind all the killing with would surely be able to tell me if that charge time is a worthy operations bonus.

Sincerely, Amarr
I was just trying to help you Amarr out, by letting you know you don't have to think about this one. My bad for forgetting that not thinking is the Amarrian credo.
Sorry...I will BUY YOU SOME VERY NICE CRAYONS!

Make Ion Pistol charge shots deal 100% damage to vehicles.
Do you see?!?!?
DO YOU SEE?!?!?
And Shanks is one of the smartest Amarr in New Eden.
*sigh*
Okay, you Amarr guys are totally welcome to join in. Not like anyone saying "No thanks, we're good." has ever stopped you before.
