Range increase by charging. Charge up the gun and you get significant range, which allows you to snipe an enemy who's running away.
Meanwhile, spam shots would be perfect for close quarters.
It would be the ultimate melee sidearm, by turning an enemy's escape attempt into a suicide situation. So you want a charged up Gallente Bolt Pistol...? Noted
Bolt Pistol:

Ion Pistol:
PEW! PEW! PEW! bvvvVVRRR PEW! PKSHHHHHHHH
See? Big difference.
Horrifying? That's a strange way to spell "romantic".

I did like the Ion pistol when it first came out, but its outclassed in terms spamming shots by the SMG or the Magsec, reliability by the scrambler pistol, or raw damage by the bolt pistol.
The charge shot works great against low tier suits, but vs Adv and higher, its just not reliable enough. If the scrambler rifle siezed after every charge shot, the Amarr players would riot.
My suggestion would be to alow multiple charge shots before it siezes up. Having it overheat on the third charge seems fair.
Comparing the Pistolas to thier racial lore.
The bolt has 4 accurate sniped rounds, the long range caldari way.
The scrambler is reliable in terms of unrelenting, sustained damage. Amarr.
Flaylock, explosive hit and run, perfect for the minmatar.
the Ion is supossed to be a fearless beast in CQC, as the gallente are supposed to be. Instead its the opposite, "omg i had better land this one charged shot or i die'' Multiple hard hitting charge shots, now that would be useful. Its too reactionary, and that need to change.

Came here expecting a story how great ion pistol is - found an analysis which matches mine completely.
+1.
Looking at both sides of the coin.
Even Aurum one.

gall assault + IP.
=
**** you scouts and mediums.
the amount of times I have actually killed red dots with the IP is hilarious.
sharpshooter 5 and gall assault 5.
IP is a beast.........when you invest the sp to make it so 
also.......ever tried stacking complex sidearm mods and using its charged shot?

This. A thousand times this. The goddamn thing locks every time I hold the trigger long enough for any portion of the charge meter to register. The Ion Pistol overheats at half-charge or less which is really the problem I think. I think I'd actually be okay with getting rid of the shaking at max charge, overheating at anything less than >65% charge (IIRC damage scales with charge no matter what so yeah) and maaaaaybe even increasing the Io.P range based on charge as that actually sounds pretty nifty, I'd be worried about people only using it to snipe though. I think the sieze upon firing a 'charged' shot does need to stay though.
If the Ion Pistol still seized up every shot I would want it to have more range as it increases in charge, if not. I want the instant seize gone replaced with appropriate heat buildup.

It works really well with a Precision Enhancer so you can see anyone around the corner and charge headshot them.

Why is it hilarious to you? When I murder people with the SMG or bolt pistol, it isnt hilarious, its just normal.
And I dont need to run my sidearm on the proper assault and invest 700k SP into the sharpshooter skills and equip sidearm damage mods to make other sidearms viable, they are viable right out of the gate. Also even after you invest all this crap for the Ion Pistol, its still a mediocre sidearm compared to the SMG and bolt pistols.
This is exactly what Im talking about here, why would anyone use this weapon when even the best case scenario for it cant even match up to a STD SMG with no skills and no damage mods? |

I consider it to be the short ranged ScR of side arms. Love it. Functions so closely the to the real thing however I agree with the current design of the weapon in that the charged shot causes the weapon to overheat.
It's a rather interesting and elegant solution to spamming charged shots repeatedly and the kind of mechanic I'd like to see on the Scrambler Rifle to prevent charged shot followed by rapid volleys. Not to mention with the capacity to charged shot it has quite the interesting little advantage over other side arms.
